BITTER ROT IN ORCHARDS
To Be Controlled, Must Be FOUGHT
With Bordeaux Mixture.

Bitter rot this year is proving seri
Gus In some orchards. 1t is the one
disease of apples which must be
fought hard from it's first appearance
In the orchard If it is to be controlled
at all. Even If there is only tree
or two showing the disease, steps
should be taken at once to spray and
to clean out the diseased fruit. II NAV
be worth while to strip the affected
tress entirely and take the fruit
to the evaporation rather than take
any chance on leaving small infec
ton to later become a rotten spot
and help to spread the trouble.
Bordeaux Mixture Spray.
The spray mixture used for hitter
rot Is bordeaux mixture at a strength
OF 100000. Its application to the
fruit and twigs and limbs of the trees
simply prevents the spread of the
disease by preventing the growth OF
terminating spores.
Spraying will not pay where the
bitter rot is not first removed from
the trees, and if there is so much rot
In the orchard that it cannot be re-
moved without taking all the fruit
that portion of the orchard would
best be Stripped. Lee Hewett

troduced the ladylady bluntly.
My dead = brothers children!"
murmured Johnson mechanically.
ooh, yes, yes. Yes, indeed"
''You see, they are without home
or relative except you. He died in
Macon, so miles away, and told the
neighbors you would care for them.
You look troubled, sir, and confused.
l will look after the dear little ones
until you get your bearings and de-
eide what you will do with them"
81 see," nodded Johnson in a lost
dreary way. Thanks"
The puzzle of existence was now
humbly accepted by him. He kept on
working at the plant. He shut out the
strange dreams that came into his
mind. Evenings he would sit with the
children and amuse them His life
became work and they-that only.
ALI this time Mrs. Alice Messenger,
lady residing in fashionable quar-
ter of the big city, was mourning her
life away over the strange inexphc-
able disappearance of her husband,
Arnold Messenger.
He had been a good husband, but
not good to himself. Left fortune,
he had married a woman he loved
and who returned the affection, but
he had serious fault-he was con-
vivialist, always that, and fast degen-
Grating into confirmed inebriate
More than that, after his spells of
dissipation there came a retroactive
spell of misery and suffering. which
he alleviated by using drugs. Leisure
and wealth were curse to this we'll
meaning, but weak-willed man.
Mrs. Messenger sat in tears in her
elegant drawing room. With her was
the family doctor and the family law
yer.

brain, and, while thus temporarily de-
ranged, he has wandered away to a
distance"
ooh, try, try to find him." sobbed
Mrs. Messenger.
Rewards were offered in the news
papers, but no trace discovered as to
the whereabouts or fate of the miss
ing man. Then one day Mrs. Mes
singer, gazing listlessly from a win
dow, uttered scream as she saw
man come up the front steps. Il
Then her eager loyal heart died
down within her, for then she saw
that the person she had mistaken for
her husband was quite another per-
son. She went to the door. and open
ed it.
"Mrs. Messenger" questioned the
visitor, a shifty-eyed, coarse-looking
man. Then, as she nodded assent,
he added: 81 am wearing your hus-
bands clothes, as believe you per-
ceive. l saw your advertisement

the contrary, l ask you to deliver me

ton to commit or attempt breach of
blockade, for none had been established;
no unneutral service could be charged. as
she had given neither aid nor comfort to
an enemy of the captor by transporting
troops, supplying information, taking
part directly or indirectly in hostilities,
resisting visit and search or attempting
to enter far distant spectral war zone.
Most important of all. the William T.
Frye carried a cargo--not absolute but
conditional as contraband-with no pro-
hibitive destination fixed anywhere in
her sailing orders.
The German ship which committed this
outrage is now at an American port I'M
dergoing repairs preparatory to further
depredations. She should be seized at
once and her officers and crew placed I'M
der arrest until full reparation is made
and apologies rendered for this wanton
and unjustiiable act. Unless Germany
promptly disavows this outrage, as due to
her officers ignorance of international
law and the customs of the sea, it can
only be construed as an attempt to ter
rorize this country by attempting to drive
her peaceful commerce from the seas.
If that is the case Germany will find that
she has reckoned without her host.

COULDN'T Wear SHOE
Took Hoods sarsapariIIa and the Sore
and Swelling Disappeared.

South Berwick, Me.-Mrs. Hannah
Blake. resident of this town. writing
under date of Feb. 6, 1915, says
ut was a good day for me when
paper advertising Hoods Sarsaparilla
was left at my home. I found in it
one letter from a woman whose case
was similar to mine. 1 had a mis-
step on a flight of stairs and injured
my ankle. A sore two inches across
formed, and walking to favor the
sore I sprained my ankle.
Rheumatism set in, but the sore
increased and became so bad, all
swollen and inf1amed and discharging,
that l could not put on my shoe and
then I could not walk. Some nights
1 would have to get up and rub it
three or four times and when I would
put it on the floor in the morning 1
would almost faint away, but read
ing about the cure in a case like mine
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, l decided to
take this medicine.
Before l had taken all of the Sec
ond bottle the sore had healed and
the swelling had all gone down. My
foot soon became entirely well. I in
creased in weight and was generally
helped, cannot say enough in praise
and am glad to recommend Hoods"
Remember to ask for Hoods Sar-
saparilla and insist on having it..

In Mr. Anglers letter he speaks of the
tuildirg Of the Union and Central Pa
clfic railroads by the Great Platte Val
ley Route, which was made by the
buffalo, next used by the Indians, then
by the fur traders, next by the Mormons
ard then by the overland immigration to
California and Oregon" The writer
traversed that route before the railroads
were built, when it was in possession of
the buffalo and the Indians, and Fort
hearney was the last outpost until Fort
Laramie, nearly one thousand miles
farther west, was reached. Generally
known as the Plains, this was the valley
of the Platte river, stream of varying
width and little depth. with table lands
bordering the valley on each side. There
were no trees in this valley, only sage
brush and cactus, and the only inhabitants
were the buffalo, antelope, Jack rabbits
and prairie dogs.

THE WAR NEWS.

The submarine U-29, one of the largest and
fastest of German underwater craft, had sue
cessful three days off the Scily Islands and IN
the English Channel. On March, 18th. l1th, ana
13th she succeeded in sinking four British
steamers and oneFrench steamer and damaging
three others. The German commander gave the
crews of most of the steamers time to leave
their vessel and in some cases towed the ships
lifeboats with the crew to passing steamers by
which they were brought into port.
"The Dresden has been sunk" "The British
are holding the Germans in their efforts to re-
take Neuve Chapelle;" Russians continue In
possession of Przasnysz." These were the
headlines which attracted the attention of the
English people last Monday night. The an
nouncement of the sinking of the German
cruiser Dresden came after nightfall, but the
news spread quickly through the theaters and
restaurants and there was much rejoicing that
this commerce raider had at last been sent to
the bottom.
| The British cruisers Glasgow and Kent and
an auxiliary cruiser were engaged against the
Dresden, which was caught March 18th near
Juan Fernandez island. The statement given
out by the British Admiralty says: IAN &C.
ton ensued, and after five minutes fighting
the Dresden hauled down her colors and dis
played the white flag, She was much damaged
and set on fire, and after she had been burning
for some time her magazine exploded and she
sank. The crew were saved. fifteen badly
wounded, The Germans are being landed at
Valparaiso. There were no British casualties
and no damage to the ships"
Great Britain made known to the world
March 14th in formal proclamation signed il
council by the king and issued from Bucking-
ham palace, how she proposes to sever all ar
teries of sea commerce to and from Germany
during the period of war. As in Premier As
ouith's speech forecasting the order, the term
"blockade" is not used and no prohibited area
is defined. Nevertheless, the text of the order
makes plain England's purpose--to prevent
commodities of any kind from reaching OF
leaving Germany during the war.
Yesterdays news was that the Germans
were hard pressed on both frontiers and tina,
the activities of the Western Allies were only
preliminary to general offensive in the neal
future. Russians reported making big pro-
gress in the east.

In Mr.. Colcord's timely and interesting
letter on the ever-present problem of
how to reach just and equitable sys
tenn of taxation he says: PERSONALLY,
feel that the whole system of taxation
at present in use is a vicious one; there
is some right and good deal of wrong
on both sides, and the unravelling of the
tangle seems a we'll nigh hopeless task. "
This is fair statement of present con-
ditions. 1t is also true that the poor
mantle man who owns only his home
and whose income is derived wholly from
his daily labor-pays much higher tax,
proportionatcly, than his rich neighbor.
And SO, W. fear, it will ever be.

The Saturday Evening Post takes this
rather pessimistic view of what is in
store for US: eff war continues much
longer, farm production will be curtailed
and food will be dear. Taxes, which are
an element in the cost of living, will GER
tainly be high. 1t will be good time
for investors and for investment bank
ers, but bad time for labor. Much IN
employment is probable. Money wages
are liable to be lower and cost of living
higher. Some Rothchilds fortunes may
emerge, but wage earners will very like
ly be thrust down to a decidedly lower
level" Let US hope not.

The editor of The Biddeford journal
says that if the editor of this paper will
write book on ''Maine Journals and
Journalism" he will buy five copies, CIV
ing one Warm corner in his library and
send the others "to four Maine editors
who need the light that would radiate
from such a volume" We should like
to know the names of the quartet re-
ferred to, but fear they will never re-
ceive the eight" from the direction sug-
gested. Many years ago we planned to
write an article on Maine men who had
won distinction in journalism in other
States or had begun their careers as news
paper men at home and attained distlnc-
ton in other lines; but in collecting ma
%erial it was found that series of papers
would be necessary. Then the collection
of material concerning Maine newspaper
men, and women, authors and poets,
went on until two scrapbooks were filled.
Time never came to utilize this material,
and probably never will, and SO when the
compiler completes his earthly journey
these books will be offered to the Maine
Historical Society and may possibly be
of use to some future historian.
