Back to the Farm.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
1t has been. noted by the general
| public there has been in the State, Of
Maine an advancement in thought as
to agriculture, through the influence
| Of educational methods by the United
| States
The State educational institutions
which have shown the public the value
of their lands,-while in every city,
town and community. organizations
have been working to impress the
people that new methods in farming
| will make real estate Of more value
each year, this cooperation will in
due time increase the value and will
bring a larger number to the agri-
cultural pursuit, as quick and safe
way to make money, also safe in
| vestment.
My experience has taught me and
every one knows this is a world Of
changes. consequently one person is
attracted by tempting offer to go
into another line Of business. So he
concludes to sell his farm at a dis
count. Again another family lose
their head and have no one to look
after the farm: then the property is
placed on the market at low valua-
| ton. Again another head of house
has reached years in which he is in
capable Of successfully conducting his
affairs, then the farm is placed on
the market. And SO on year in and
year out But the tendency is all the
time for an increase in real estate in
the State of Maine. There will be a
boom and when it comes the land
will be of more value for the improve
ments. This change will come and
when it comes the present buyer will
be the wise investor. This is the
time to invest in real estate at a low
valuation. There will be no aban-
doned farms then.

German Submarines Melted.

The Scientific American, on infor-
nation from sources that it believes
to be reliable, holds that the losses
of German submarines have been very
large since the commencement Of the
war and also understands that the
process Of netting them with steel con-
trivances has met with success. 1t
holds that the British Admiralty has
withheld information to the public
concerning these German losses for the
reason that it does not wish the
watchfulness and care of the British
sea captains to be relaxed in the
slightest degree.

Dutch Courage Neutral.

France, in addition to prohibiting the
sale of absinthe, is to authorize local au-
thorities to stop the sale of all alcohol at
their discretion during the war and en-.
courage the substitution of beer and
grape juice. Thus the belligerents and
neutrals now are in the following defen-
sive attitudes toward rum:
Turkey-Use of alcohol discouraged by
Mohammedanism. sweets being preferred
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of sale
of liquors to period between 8 A. NJ and
5 P. NJ, with complete closing on Sun
days and holidays.
Germany-Local authorities empowered
to prohibit or restrict the sale of spirits
Production of spirits restricted; produc-
ton of beer reduced to save grain.
France-No absinthe; cognac and fer
mented wines may be locally prohibited.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on drink for NUM-
tons workers; army and navy follow an
cient custom in use of rum and bitter
beer.
Canada-Under new legislation author
izing a plebiscite. Alberta declared for
the proposed act forbidding sale of liquor
in the province.
aItaly-No new restrictions.
Russia-Sale of spirits and vodka pro-
hibited until the end of the war. Local
authorities given power-whch has been
largely exercised-to petition for total
prohibition in their areas.
Switzerland-Sale of spirits suspended

In some of these countries the loss in
revenue and its purchasing power in mu-

to the loss in efficiency for using mum

A Man and. His Garden.

He has to give his plants a drink
Or fix them UP a spray,
Or things will get upon the blink
In less than half day.
He has to shield them from the weeds
And loosen up the soil;
For growing plants have many needs
And endless is his toll.
But as his growing plants he views,
The few that have not died,
He thrills with rapture to his shoes
And boundless is his pride.

Our Departed Ones.

Our Departed Ones.
by Annie Foss Fish-Read at Somers
Academy Alumni Reunion.1
Our departed ones come
With the thoughts OF the past
can feel their hand clasp.
They are with us in memory,
Which they come to renew,
For each has a part
In this school review.
Some left US in youth
When life was most fair,
Before earthly sorrow
Had touched them with care.
Some left US when hope
And ambition held sway,
And our clear sky was clouded
For many a day.
But age brings US wisdom,
And we've Learned every ono
That back Of the clouds
Is Gods glorious sun.
And we understand too
That the swift rolling years
Bring each Of US laughter
And each OF US tears.
For thus 1t Ia ever
And forever will be,
Til we are reunited
Across Gods boundless sea.
With Him in that home
Beyond life's setting sun,
May we all answer the roll-call
And hear Gods well done"
