THE TIRED CHRIST

a5a was lie "ss2s sst ssa t. us3 ss as s3a truly
as you and I do. He sat down
because He wanted to rest and He asked
for water, not to open up a conversation,
but because He was thirsty. On more
than one occasion He made His disciples
take a half holiday-and He enjoyed it
with them. Rest was sweet to Him be-
cause He worked for it. A loafer is a
thief of time. He can never know the
pleasure of vacation until he has toiled.
II do not care whether his idleness comes
from being bum or millionaire Vaca-
tion is an economy, not an extravaganza.
To say that you cannot afford it is as
senseless as a musician saying that he
cannot afford to take time to tune his
instrument. Jang.ing nerves and discor-
dant digestive apparatus make poor mu-
sic even in the money market. If you
have not had a vacation-take one. You
will not only enjoy living better, but you
will be better to live when you get back.
Remember today: Come We yourselves
apart into the desert place and rest a
while" &C. w. Bull.

- horse sense, the Boys are going to
be burdened with lot of "extras," which
they don't need-and forced to do with

" to their comfort and perhaps keep them
in good health. Delicacies and luxuries
have no place in military camp--and
according to the statement of a regular
army officer-will not be permitted to
reach the men if sent to them, as it is
for the mems own good that they live
on the regular army ratlons, and IN all
other ways, abide by the regulation "sim-

severe than the women folks eft behind
think it should be.
So let us not be carried away by senti-
ment in satisfying cur desire to send
something to our boys as reminder that
the folks back home are anxious 10 help
in any way possible, and are anxio',s to
do anything which will make for actual
camp comfort. But let us wait until the
boys find out what they actually need
and let us know about it.
According to press reports two of the
biggest needs in camp life will be lemons

money it is our privilege to procure and
send just as soon and just as often as
these officers indicate the need.
In the meantime why should we net set
about raising extra funds, so that when
the time comes there shall be no delay
and so that the boys need not draw too
heavily on the present emergency fund.

the boys wrote while enroute to camp (and
for which friends of the Company will be

the task of creating a Company L fund
and await further requests before send

THE MEXICAN

THE Mexican is a queer composition
of pride and mescal, mixed with hot
carne He will not do anything today
that he can do tomorrow and tomorrow
never comes He has queer sense of
honor, and about as much morals as a
rabbit. He is easily offended, and treach-
cry is his first, middle and last name. He
breaths fire and snorts defiance, but in
reality, stripped of his pomposity and his
monumental braggadocio, he is as harm
less and helpless as cooling dove unless

READING NOTICES
THE LITTLE KHAKI MAN

Just little skinny fellow
Rarely over twenty-five,
He has left the farm or factory
For the old red, white and blue.
There was sorrow in the household
When he donned his suit of tan,
And he left his mother weeping
For her little khaki man.
Sure, he knows just what's before him,
He can see the alkali
And the wounded soldiers crying
For a drink before they die;
He has heard there is no quarter
Given by the greaser clan,
But he's on the job and sticks there,
The little khaki man.
AS he struggles with his hard tack
By the fapper of his tent,
He is thinking of those biscuits
Mother made the day he went.
But he eats his beans in silence
And the stuff that's in the can,
For he wastes no time in grumbling,
The little khaki man.
So don't you call him "tinny'
In his faded yellow suit,
For he's off to fight our battles
And is worthy your salute,
Though he's short on beef and buster,
Though he's sort of pale and wan,
Still he's long on grit and courage,
The little khaki man.

The time has come when newspapers al
over the country must choose between go
ing out of business or raising subscription
and advertising rates. There is absolute
lv no middle-road process. The following
from the Dawson Sentinel is only one O
the many reasons why:
Less than year ago, the paper on
which the Sentinel was printed cost
$48 per ton. Today we pay SlOO per
ton for the same article. The whole
saler says that by January first, the
price will be $140.
It is useless to comment on the ava
rice of the interests who take an un-
holy advantage of peoples necessities
and charge it up to the war;
Opinion is cheap, but it takes money
to buy print paper.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

A representative from one of the
larger of Redwood's stores was in cur
office Wednesday evening in an en-
deavor to place page advertisements
in the local newspaper. While here
he asked for space for page adver-
tisement each week for six weeks and
for other heavy advertising. One quo
tation only from his remarks follows:
1--WE know you can get along without
us, but we can't get along without
you! We must have newspaper ad-
vertising and if we can get it we will
not bill your town! Our merchants
want to advertise with you.'
What would you do in a case like
that ?-Morton Enterprise.
It's always a problem, Brother Rubey
and one which is bound to confront 8
good, live paper like the Enterprise, al
most weekly. The Gazette sometimes
finds it rather breaking to turn away
Twin City advertisers who are lavish Of
space and free on rates, for the privilege
of serving the local man whom we know
i sending out of town for two-thirds OF
his printed material, who crowds materi
al for a page ad into half-page space
and then looks hurt if he is sent bill
him the full of the very modest
advertising rate. Does seem bit one
sided, doesn't it?

Crop Indications

State Horticu.turist Clyde l.. wilkins
stated Monday on bis return from a
trip covering a considerable portion Of
the orcharding section Of the State
that apples were dropping badly. He
said that the Baldwin crop especially
would be very light. not so much on
account of the dropping, as is the case
with many other varieties but on ac-
count of the fact that they have not
blossomed freely.
The outlook is good for large crop
Of bush fruits, the raspberry crop,
which is being harvested now being
particularly abundant The strawberry
growers are now busy picking their
crop and in spite Of unfavorable wealth
er in the season. the strawberry yield
will be larger than usual.
Indications are that apple freights
will be very high abroad. Mr.. Wilkins
finds that Liverpool freights are now
quoted at 81 per barrel for ordinary
packing and $3.50 for cold storage
while an average rate is about 81 per
barrel.

A. M. G. Soule, chief of the bureau of

has returned from a trip to PASSPORT.
Lubec and other places engaged in the
sardine canning business. He visited
most Of the operated factories at East
port and Lubec, as we'll as at South
west Harbor, Bass Harbor, Stoning-
ton and Rockland. The factories at
Rockland, Southwest Harbor and the
near vicinity are getting all the fish
they require and are running on full
capacity. At Eastport and Lubec the
fish is rather scarce and the factories
running only on part time.
The purpose Of this VISIT said MT
Soule, was to ascertain by personal
observation how complete an inspection
was being made by the National Can
ners Association and in many ways
am pleased with the results being OBJ
tanned, though in several other ways
there is still chance for Improvement.
The most of the Gamers seem to be
receiving this inspection OF the Ma
tional Gamers Association with splr-
1t of cooperation and the fishermen
are also taking pains to do their snare
by adding keeping pounds to their
weirs and deliver to the factories only
such fish as has been kept in the pound
until the food which they contained
has been digested. This will go long
ways toward remedying the results OF
the red feed, which has occurred in the
past in sardines.

lowing tag to all cases Of sardines IN
spected by them: These sardines have
been inspected and packed under our
supervision in accordance with our
sanitary requirements for packing sar-
