LIQUOR TRAFFIC AND FARMER.

If all the distilleries and breweries
were closed the farmers market for
corn would not be affected. The liquor
traffic uses less than az per cent of
he five leading grain crops of the
land.
For every bushel of grain used by
the breweries and distilleries none
than forty-four and three-ffths bush
els are used for legitimate purposes.

A New Dlsinfectant,

As result of experiments conducted
at the Hygienic Laboratory of the Unit,
ed States Public Health Service 1t is
announced that new disinfectant, pos
essing qualities superior to ordinary
disinfectants, has recently been discov
cred. The announcement Is particularly
important at this time, coming as 1t does
in the face of the shortage in coal tar de-
rivatives which has resulted from the
European conflict.
The new preparation Is derived from
pine oil, by product in the manufacture
of turpentine. 1t is easily prepared by
mixing certain proportions Of the oil
with rosin and sodium hydroxide solu
ton, the finished product being red
dish.brown liquid, rather thick and oily
in appearance but free from turbidity.
With water 1t makes perfectly white
emulsion, much resembling milk. II
has a pleasing odor, no Objectionable
taste, and attacks neither fabrics nor
metals. 1t possesses over four times
the disinfectant properties of carbolic
acid and is altogether nontoxic, 80 thai
it may safely be used as a throat spray OF
mouth wash in solutions Of the ordinary
strength. The cost OF the preparation is
remarkably low as it can be manufactur'
ed for less than fifty cents gallon, sole
ly from products which are produced in
this country.
Many of the disinfectants now on the
market are neither efficient nor econom
ical, it having been demonstrated that
mum Der of the most expensive and wide
ly advertised are extremely weak 10 dis
injecting power, so much 80 that their
strength is understandable by ordinary
methods. The sale of compounds OF
this nature constitutes fraud. A Sec
oud class of proprietary preparations are
of guaranteed strength, thus putting a
legal responsibility upon the manufac
turer, but the cost of these per unit Of
dsinfecting power is frequently excess
i've. The householder Is therefore often
at a loss to select disinfectant which is
efficient, economical and Of constant
strength and it is believed that this new
compound, which is to be known a.
"Hygienic Laboratory Pine-oil Disin
fectant", will become one OF the most
useful preparations of that character.

Iaxmen,s Convention.

The laymen of the churches of Maine
are to rally in a huge convention In
Portland from November 10th to l4tb.
The meeting is to be under the auspices
of the Laymen's Missionary Movement,
a nation wide campaign for the enlist,
ment of men In the vital activities Of the
Christian church for the application,
through them of the powers of the
church to the new and pressing prob
lens that face the world.
Seventy of these conventions are to be
held throughout the country In an or
ganized campaign, which starts 10 Chi
cago this month and sweeps over the
country, east and west, closing with q
huge gathering at the National Capita
in April.
The Maine Convention will be held in
the Second Parish Church on Congress-
Street, in Portland, and 1t Is the hope OF
the committee at work on the problem
that at least 1900 men will be enrolled
A splendid organization Of committees
has been perfected and active work Ia un
der way to prepare for the event and to
stimulate interest among the laymer
both directly and through the pastors Of
the Maine churches.
The chief objects Of the campaign, a.
stated by it's leaders, are: To consider
new world conditions and Americas en-
larged responsibility; To study the mis-
sionary progress Of recent years; Tt
project plans looking toward the accom-
plishment OF our whole missionary duty
To emphasize the adequacy OF the Cos
pei to meet modern social conditions
To increase the spiritual power aur
efficiency of the local church; To secure
the general use of the best methods o.
missionary education and finance; II
inspire laymen to take their part In th'
extension OF the Kingdom Of Christ.
At the Portland convention these sub
| ljects will be discussed by some OF th'
greatest leaders In religious and socia
thought and work. Details are to b'
announced in few days.

County Agents In 1000 Counties

County Agents In 1000 Counties.
There has been remarkable unanimity
in the acceptance by the state of one of
the fundamental features of the extern
sion enterprises which was developed
BY the department with funds wholly
under its control prior TO the passage of
the Smith. Lever Act. The experience
of the past II years has fully demon
strait ed the value of the county agricul'
tural agent as a means of bringing to
our agricultural people on their farms
and in their homes the results Of practi-
cal experience and scientific research in
agriculture and home economics and Sc.
curing the practical application of these
results through demonstrations and
otherwise. There is therefore general
agreement that nothing is more impor-
tant in the development OF extension fea-
lures under the new conditions arising
from the Smith Lever Act than the es-
tablishment in each county of permanent
headquarters for extension work, in
charge of a competent county agent,
who shall act as the joint representa-
tive of the local community, the state
through it's agricultural college, and the
Nation through it's Department of Agri.
culture. 1t is believed that in this way
the need of the agricultural people in
their several communities can be best
determined, and whatever help the state
and the nation can give them in their
agricultural and home problems can be
most speedily and effectively brought to
| them. A large share of the department
do HariupH
from state, county, and local sources,
and considerable portion of the Smith
Lever fund have therefore been devoted
| to the maintenance and extension of the
county agent system. There are now
over 1000 counties in the As states which
have county agents.
On the whole these agents have been
very successful 10 winning the support
and confidence of the farming people.
and the tangible results of their work
are very encouraging. The personality
of the agent is, of course, a very large
factor in determining the measure OF his
success. His understanding of the real
problems of the region in which be Is
working, his sympathy with rural
| people, and his ability to meet them on
their own ground and actually to convey
to them important practical instruction
and information in convincing way are
among the essentials. When to these
| qualifications are added studious incli.

UNBURDEN THE
DOCKET Of Dis
TR|CT COURT
OLD CASES THAT HAVE APPEAR
ED FOR YEARS WILL BE DIS
MISSED BEFORE OPENING OF
SEPTEMBER TERM.

County Attorney A. J. Hardy after
consulting with the district judge and
the clerk of the courts, has decided to
dismiss from the dockets a mass Of
old cases that have been on there
since statehood. and many before that
time. for the reason that in all cases
the witnesses were either dead or out
of the Jurisdiction of the court, and
the chances of conviction practically
nil. In doing this, the county attorney
stated that he believed he was doing
a service to the county in as much as
all the cases were practically forgot
ten. and that there was no way of
getting a conviction for the reason
stated above. This will relieve future
dockets Of a mass of cases that have
been carried from year to year
