We wish to call Ed Pointers atten-
ton to a box of grasshoppers received
this morning from Belgrade. Shall we
forward said hoppers ?-Kennebec Jour
nal.
-Geewhillikins. Chad; don't do it!
Ed Pointer wouldn't know what to do
with 'em, and he'd probably either turn
them loose to clutter up the streets
around the Globe Office or send them to
the Franklin Park zoo, where they would
be an additional drain upon the fund
for the maintenance of that institution.
If you have a box of grasshoppers from
Belgrade, save and cherish them. They'll
come in mighty handy for early brook
fishing. For this purpose, there are no
grasshoppers better than the Belgrade
breed, for to this end have they been
trained and bred for countless genera
tions.-Biddeford Journal.
Poor old Deak! Did anybody ever
see such long arms for few grass
hoppers? We've a good notion to crate
those hoppers and send 'em to him
post haste, or post parcel. AS we
understand it, Deak has worn his lines
and reels about all out looking them
over since the first January thaw.
And these Belgrade hoppers are just as
effective in Sebago waters.

Validating Affiliations.

Some weeks ago President Wilson
entered into a desperate Irritation with
Senator Jinham Lewis while Demo-
Gratis looked on and cried " Scandal"
Somebody ran and told Tom Marshalrs
Mother State, Indiana, and when Mr..
Wilson made his western world on
fire" trip old Lady Indiana gave him to
understand that if he left her Tom
home at night to fuss with that Sem
ator from Illinois the Democratic vote
in the Hoosier State could be stuck in
a match box. So the announcement
appeared that Wilson had returned to
his first love, Tom Marshall. But in
doing so he winked his eye over his
shoulder at Jimham.
All this was before the Republicans
polled such tremendous vote in the
Indiana primaries. Since then it is ru-
mored that Wilson is again flirting
with the Senator from Illinois, whom
he wants for running mate, and Jim
ham smirks and shippers. The Presi-
dent now believes that Indiana is lost
cause and longer political wedlock with
Marshall will avail him nothing, while
Illinois may be propitiated. II the Illi-
nois primaries give the President the
same jolt, he will can Jimham, and
there will be no breach Of promise suit
because the Senator from Illinois is
charged with notice of the vagarious
mind Of his present wooer.

''Prohibition- Efficiency" Movement.

Ono Of tho leading brewers Of the
Uuated States q few days ago vigor-
-osaaly denounced what he termed this
prohibition efficiency movement.
We thank him for that word. Pro-
hibition- efficiency! May our. children
grow up to drop the hyphen. It is an
efficiency movement motivated and
conducted as such.
The United States has its days
work to do. And the day ahead is 4
day Of soberness and efficiency in the
world. Disciplined nations; war
hardened, poverty clean, nations,
driven by the fires Of pure patriotism
and self acquaintance will shortly be
contending for the worlds trade with
our own country. Trade we might re-
sign to them but some there are who
believe the United States to be the
custodian Of principles dearer than
life, more valuable to the world than
all other principles. If we are to de-
fend those principles and conquer
fresh lands for them, we must bring
ourselves to level Of efficiency with
lands more highly organized, lands Of
greater intellectual and artistic ma
turity.
What shall we do? Drop our vices.
Sacrifice those sins which so easily
beset us.
Precisely the same motive that is
driving alcohol from industry must
drive alcohol from America. The
United States is about to compete with
other countries in just the same way

The days Of the touching story as a

holders don't care so long as they can
protect their own dear ones from their
