June LIST we were startled by an alarm of
fire soon after d-day, which proved to be a
mysteriously originating smoke and blaze un-
der the southeast corner of Mr.. John M. Lam
casters stable. 1t was discovered by gentle
man driving by the place, East Main street,
who notified Mrs. Lancaster, her husband be-
ing away on his regular duties as one of the
U. S. A. mail carriers, R. F. D.. Fortunately,
but slight damage was done, but the same
trouble occurring in the night would have
probably destroyed the entire establishment.
Mr.. Lancaster is of the opinion that rats
nests are responsible for the fire.

making preparations for his work in Sears

the street turns down in Searsport to the rail-
road station over to the Stockton line; and
later short section of highway in Prospect.
These State roads, built and maintained by the
State from the money paid for the automobile
licenses, ought to greatly improve the now
fearfuly rough public thoroughfares of our
good old State of Maine. good work. Mr..
Norwood was enc of the civil engineers locat

son-now lad of ten summers-was born in
Stockton and urged his father to take him to
visit his birthplace.

Ivy Day At Bowdoin.

The Ivy day festivities at Bowdoin College
took place June 4th. with the program in
charge of committee of the Junior Glass;
Following the exercises in the afternoon the
class marched from the hall and then came
the annual custom of planting an ivy plant,
from which custom the day is named, while
the class ode, written by Ora L. Evans of
Dover. was sung to the tune of the Orange and
the Black. MIR. Evans. who is one of the
associate editors of the Bowdoin Bugle, is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. P. Evans of Dover.
The ode was as follows:
We come, o Alma Mater,
And to thee homage pay,
AS at thy sacred altar
We this our tribute lay.
May the ivy always clinging
Around this hall of thine,
To US bring yearly, daily,
A sense of love divine.
If in the years before us,
When we have wandered wide,
There sometime come upon US,
A 10 'ging for guide,
Our hearts and eyes upon thee,
AS on this Ivy Day,
May we in this find burning
A lamp to light our way.

Will You Rsad This Twice?

very important question
to-day which every housekeeper
must decide for herself is whether
she prefers pure, cream Of tartar
baking powder like Royal or
whether she is willing to use
baking powder made Of infer
substitutes which do not add
healthful qualities to the food.
One kind is easily distin-
guished from the other, since
the laws of various States require
the ingredients to be printed
upon the label. If anyone is in
doubt viii Oh kind is most health
full, it is worth while to ask the
family doctor. Then decide.
And when once a decision is
reached let no advert sement or
Dealers argument or canvasser's
solicitat ion change the decision.
It is not question Of a few
cents or Of pleasing salesman.
It is question Of health.
If this appeals to you as rea-
sonable and sensible advice, it
is worth reading twice. And it
is worth remembering.

spenses are Close TO double that amount.
Germany's total expenses for the first year
of the war are put at $9,4S0,0O0,00O, as a.
gainst $4,79O,OOO,0O0 for England more than
$6,000,0O0,000 each for France, Austria
Hungary and Russia, and about $2,432,000-
900 for Belgium.
These figures do not take into account the
loss of life, which means just that much re-
moved from the field of production and in
crease of world wealth, nor do they consider
the property destruction, which individual
instances, such as that of the Lusitania, will
run as high as $1,OOO,OOO or more.
Consideration of these stupendous figures
naturally brings up the question as to whc-
ther there will be repetition of history in the
shape of reputation of European obligations.
If the war goes on for another year both ex-
penditures and property loss will have been
doubled possibly increased in even greater
proportion. The victors will demand war
indernnities, which the vanquished will be
compelled to pay, and payment will mean
taxation and possible semi-pauperism ex-
tending over period of years. :.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOwsFlELD

Onions are important enough as
market commodity to compel the at
tention of landowners generally. The
crop Is reasonably sure, and there Is
q demand all the year
One great advantage is the keeping
quality Of onions. They do not have
to be marketed at any particular time,
and one may choose favorable market
conditions. The price Is In keeping
with the high level Of other farm prod
ucts, and fair profits are assured
A little study Of the markets will
show that the growing OF bunch on
Ions for table use Is profitable. This
may pay better than letting the bulbs
mature IL the land is handy to market
Growing onion sets is thought by many
To be the best method Of oil.
An acre of onions will produce on
an average 800 bushels. although large
tracts are made to yield an average OF
500 bushels an acre at cost for grow
ing not exceeding $50. In districts
where the ordinary varieties Of onions

Germany Against the World

In looks more and more if the will fin
ally resolve itself into situation where Germany
will almost literally, in the words OF Kaiser fight
ing "against q world OF enemies"
The-reutonic allies are already at war actively
with seven nations. Russia, France, Great Britain,
Italy, Belgium, Servia and Montenegro, and con-
structvely with japan and Portugal. The en-
trance Of Roumania, Bulgaria aud Greece is very
possible and would make league Of II enemies.
Such ring of foes, it may assumed, would soon
render Austria Hungary incapable of defective re-
sistence aud finishing the work Of taking Con-
stantinople and prostrating Turkey, leaving to
Germany alone the Titanic task OF defending her
frontiers against overwhelming odds
The appalling nature OF such struggle is all
the more impressive when the full scope of this
possible "duodecimal alliance" is considered.
Reckoning the IL hostile countries and their col
onies, Germany would be arrayed against much
more than half the worlds area and nearly
half the worlds population. II we reckon to-
gather Germany, Austria and Turkey, there is n
total of 130,O00,000 against S00000000 out Of
tho earths estimated population Of 1,732,000, 900.
II we figure on Germany alone, at last standing
at bay against such pack OF foes, it will be o.
100000 people against S00000,000.

Torture No Deterrent.

The policy of Thomas Mott Osborne in
his conduct of Sing Sing prison, in New
York. has not been passed without censure.
On the whole it is meeting with more and
more approval as its results begin to be ap-
parent; and the criticisms are chiefly from
those not especially acquainted with the
workings of mems minds. But criticisms
there are, both private and official, and the
movement toward sane prison reform ex-
empliiied at Sing Sing is so important to
the country at large that analysis of them is
worth while.
One man in public life has urged that
"prison punishment be made so terrible that
when the convict comes out he will be de-
tered from ever committing crime again"
1t is the "frightfulness' theory as applied in
Belgium during the present war. Many
have been the objections to base ball and the
educational features aided by Columbia Un-
iversity.
The fallacy underlying this point of view
is the belief that cruel punishment will pre-
vent repetitions Of crime in the same offend
er, or deter others from following the Grim
inal's example Cruelty has never been
known to have scuh an effect. The man
who is going to commit crime is either 60
ing to take chance that he will escape en-
tirely, or he is too stupid or two much
inflamed by criminal passion to figure
out results.
The truth underlying Mr. Osbornes meth
cd is that the habitual criminal is a man for
some reason at odds with society To what
extent society is to blame for this is another

Will There Be Reputation?

If European war continues until July 81,
period of one year from its commencement
based upon expenditures to date, it is stated
that it will have cost the participating nat
ions the staggering sum of $35,702 100000
or more than 80 times the entire national
debt of the United States.
The British parliment has just been asked
for an appropriation of $5,9S2, 100000 for the
war for another year. The war is said to be
costing Great Britain $1050CO00 day, and
most of the other nations involved about the
same amount excepting Germany whose ex-
