1.-THE Shopping Center
LEST We Forget

Today Richmond and the nation close up
shop in order that those whose privilege it
is to live may render homage to their heroic
dead.
Annually we do this-and the custom In
a beautiful one-this scattering Of sweet
flowers around the last resting place of
those whom we loved; those whose parts In
the great drama Of war they enacted 80
well, thus bringing imperishable glory 70
their names.
It matters little, now, whether his coat
was "blue' or GRAY; whether he fol-
lowed the fortunes Of Grant or Lee, or
whether the spot is marked with the flag
of the Union or with the Southern Cross,
tender hearts and willing hands will place
there floral wreath or some other token
as reminder that his deeds of sacrifice
and devotion to his country will ever live
in our memory. For all true Americans,
North and South are proud Of the valor
and heroism displayed by both sides in that
mighty struggle for principle, as each
viewed it from their own standpoint.
We trust that none deserving to he 80
honored will be overlooked; that NAYS
prettiest garlands and buds win cover each
plot, not only as tribute to those that have
departed from us, but as an object lesson
for the living, that DUTY done must reap
its reward

CARRANZA PREPARES FOR BIG
STEP FORWARD

Mexico, it is claimed, is about to resume
her place among the Republics of the wes-
tern continents, after four years of revo-
lutionary disturbances.
A decree, issued by General Carranza
on the eve of the celebration of Mexican
independence, prepared the way for the
present de facto government to be re-
placed by a substantial constitutional
government.
Another decree has been issued, calling
for the election Of a constitutional con-
gress on October 18th.
In the Mexican Joint Commission now
in session at New London Conn, the Mex
lean commissioners are insisting that they
represent government whose sovereignty
is as effective as that of the United States
General Carranza issued instructions to
the commissioners on September 10, that
the discussion must be limited first, to the
withdrawal of General Pershings expe-
dition, and second, to the patrol of the
border.
The Pan American governments have
this week expressed a wish to the com
missioners that all differences between
the United States and Mexico be quickly
and permanently adjusted.

GREAT BRITAIN ISSUES
NEW ORDERS RESTRICTING
AMERICAN TRADE

In consequence of the adoption Of the
new British plan for rationing the neutral
countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
and Holland, it is claimed by London re-
ports, that American shipments to the
Netherlands will be stopped entirely,
while the regular transportation compan-
les trading between the United States and
Scandinavia will not take cargoes without
by the British authorities.
The Chicago Herald, in commenting up
on this action of the British government,
says:
''The allies have, in fact, put the Scan
dinavian countries and Holland con ra-
tions' with respect to supplies from over
seas OF the articles named in Consul Gen
eral SINNERS dispatch. The allies evi-
IDENTITY have become convinced that lot
of stuff ostensibly purchased by these
countries for their own use has been going
on into the Teutonic empires and have
taken these measures to stop the flow. This
is virtually admitted by Lord Robert
Cecil's assertion that these European neu-
trails have received up to Aug. l more
than their normal imports for year, with
its specific illustration of ones increase of
coffee imports from $4,000 tons to $4,000
tons
Since it is none of our concern what
our Dutch or Scandinavian customers do
with the goods they buy from us, Ameri-
can opinion will undoubtedly regard this
latest effort of the allies to tighten the
pressure on their Teutonic foes as an opt
rage upon neutral rights 1t is fairly safe
to assume that Holland and Scandinavia
will regard it in much the same way.
However, it must also be assumed that
the allies have counted what may be the

Allies Slowly Advancing toward
Bapaume and Peronne

Thiepval and Combles, the two German
positions on the western front which have
proved the greatest stumbling block in
the way of the allied advance, are reported
as nearly surrounded. The capture of
Thiepval would carry the British lines
forward a considerable distance in the
direction of Bapaume, while the taking Of
Combles would imperil Peronne

the commerce of the United States with
the de facto government during the fiscal
year just ended was the largest, it is
claimed, in the history of trade with that
country.
According to statistics just made public
by the National City Bank Of New York,
combined imports and exports aggregated
$145, 985,086 compared with $131, 1927, 266

Big Transfer Of Jerseys.

1t has just been announced that the
noted herd Of registered Jerseys, about
80 in number, owned by L. G. Trafton of
Highland farm 10 Skowhegan, has been
sold to the Ayredale farm at Bangor.
This herd is said to contain more of the
blood of Sophis's Tormentor than any
other OF its size in the world, outside OF
the Hood farm. Mr.. Trafton started
this herd in small way about 10 years
ago and has adhered closely to line
breeding. He has developed herd that
has been assurprise to all that have seen
it. This sale is, without doubt, one of
the largest transfers Of blooded stock
ever made in Maine, and some of the
young animals brought record breaking
prices.
In connection with the sale Mr.. Traf-
ton leased his farm to the same concern
to be used as home for young stock.
He has been engaged to 90 to Bangor as
farm manager at Ayredale. Ayredale

acres, located just outside the city limits

Feeding Fat Into Milk.

Does a COW vary any in her ,buttsrfat
if she is in good flesh or in poor flesh!
Will feed cnange the butterfat test OF
the milk?
Under normal conditions I'VE would
not expect q COW to vary In fat test, but
cows starved or materially underfed are
liable to produce milk somewhat lower
in fat percent than normal. Cows calv-
ing in fat condition will produce milk
testing higher than normal for short
time, as they seem to convert . part OF
their body fat into milk fat. The test
will however, soon return to normal.
A change of feed or greater amount
of feed will often cause the COW 10 give
a greater quantity of milk and 20 10.
crease the total quantity of the butterfat
produced, but her fat test will not be
materially altered from the normal. As
a general proposition it may be stated
that the percentage Of fat in q given cows
milk cannot be materially altered for
any considerable time by the kind or
amount of feed she receives. Not only is
this Judgment founded on experimental
work, but reason alone should tell as
that If the fat test of milk varied with
every change of feed and care, the life OF
the animals young would be seriously
because they. are dependent
on this milk. Reason and experience
both confirm the statement that fat car
