AS am candidate for nomination on
the Democratic ticket for Sheriff of
Waldo County, l think it we'll to make a
statement at this time that will answer
the question that may be asked in sections
where am not personally known, as to
whom this Mr.. Jenkins is, and what about
him, for every voter desires to know all
possible about the man he is called to sup
port.
Briefly stated, here is my history. Born
IN Vinalhaven September II, 1878, my
parents moved to Monroe when l was
but two years old, and l lived in that
town thirty years, following the occupa-
ton of farming, and think the people
of Monroe and adjoining towns thorough
ly understand my business methods, and
my reputation for doing any work with
which | am entrusted honestly and faith
fully.
Some five years ago I came to Brooks
and purchased saw mill, where | now
conduct business under the firm name of
Jenkins Lumber Co.
What education possess was obtained
in the excellent schools of Monroe. When
Mr.. Edwin Jenkins was sheriff, served
as one of his deputies, and have also
served as constable in Brooks. These
are the only offices have held as have
never been an office seeker.
l belong to but one secret society, and
am member of Golden Crown Lodge,
No. 108, K. of P, and | am also a mem
Der of the Grand Lodge of this order.
There is one point wish to make clear
to every voter.
If am nominated and elected, shall
remember my oath of office and fulfill
the obligations assumed in that office to
the best of my ability, and if you desire
an honest administration of the office of
Sheriff in Waldo County, 1 respectfully
solicit your support.

Nests Should be Destroyed when First De-
tected-Spray with Arsenicals to Destroy
Larvae.
This is the season of the year when
the larvae and small nests of the tent
caterpillar are likely to be found upon
orchard and other trees, especially in To-
calities where the caterpillars were pres
ent last year. With the first warm days
of spring the larvae escape from the
eggshells IN which they have lain DOR
mant during the winter. Trees infested
with larvae during the early part of the
year, or those in the immediate vicinity,
are perhaps more likely to be chosen by
the parent moth for the deposition of
her eggs, and such trees at least should
be searched.
The recommendations of the depart.
ment's entomologists for the control of
this pest are, briefly, as follows:
As soon as small nests are detected,
they should be destroyed, as this pre-
vents further defoliation of the tree.
When in convenient reach, the nests may
be torn out with a brush, with gloved
hand, or otherwise, and the larvae crush,
ed on the ground, care being taken to
destroy any caterpillars which have re-
manned on the tree.
The use of torch to burn out the
nests will be found convenient when
they occur in the higher parts of the
trees. In using the torch great care is
necessary that no important injury be
done to the tree; it should not be used in
burning out nests except in the smaller
branches and twigs, the killing of which
would be of no special Importance. Nests
in the larger limbs should be destroyed
by hand, as the use of the torch may kill
the bark, resulting in permanent injury.
Tent caterpilars are readily destroyed
by arsenicals sprayed on the foliage of
trees infested by them. Any of the
arsenical insecticides may be used, as
Paris green, Scheele's green, arsenate
of lead, etc. The first two are used at
the rate of one-half pound to SO gallons
of water. The milk of lime made from
2 to pounds of stone lime should be
added to neutralize any caustic effect of
the arsenical on the foliage. The paste
form of arsenate of lead is used at the
rate of pounds to each so gallons of
water, and the powdered form at one
half this quantity.
On stone fruits, such as cherry, peach
and plum, arsenicals are likely to cause
injury to foliage and must be used with
caution, if at all. On such trees the
arsenate of lead is preferable, as it is
less injurious to foliage. and on all trees
sticks much better. In spraying for the
tent caterpillar only, applications should
be made while the caterpillars are yet
small, as they then succumb more quick
ly to poisons than when more nearly
full grown, and prompt treatment stops
further defoliation of the trees. U. S.

Dear Mother: One of your lost letters
came this morning dated December 9Th
with a fine comb IN it. There were four
of five stamps in it but only two of them
were good, the letter got wet and the
stamps stuck to the letter. My box
came in good condition, but the vest was
taken out. The boxes were all taken to
headquarters and searched. | was out
on picket duty day before yesterday;
had charge of two posts, and was so near
the rebels that they could ask all manner
of questions. which we were not allowed
to answer. 1t would not be any use to
try to get my discharge now, mother, nor
do wish to while so well able to serve
my country. / would like to see you all,
but l would like to see this war carried
on to some purpose and with more vigor.
We had Division drill yesterday; there
were big lot of men on the field, and
high officers too. Gardner has got back;
he is great deal better, but not we'll.
You see Uncle Sam wont let his boys go
as long as there is any hope of their
ever being able to carry gun. Write
all you can think of. You say you have
lots to tell me when l get home, but l
don't want to wait. like to know what
is going on at home. Give my regards
to all friends of the Union, ard no others.

THE BOOM IN FoRE.AND-AFrERs.

American four-masted schooners are
having their innings decidedly these days.
nulit primarily for cOastwise service.
THESE sturdy craft in capacity and sea-
worthlness are adaptable to great
variety of off-shore trades, and it is not
surprising, in view of the famine of steam
"tramps," that sail vessels built in
Maine ten or fifteen years ago now COM
mand premium over their first cost of
construction. These four-masters re-
present compromise between the typ
zeal three-masters of an earlier era and
the huge and six-masted fore and-aft
carriers too deep for some ports and re-
curing huge cargo to fill their yawning
bulls. A good seaworthy four master of
moderate size is fit for almost anything,
and can be safely navigated by small
and economical crew-an important con-
slderation in these times of soaring sea-
mems wages.
One seven-year-olda four-master was
sold the other day for $4,000, and
fourteen-year-old, but larger. schooner
brought $50, 900 at the same time. Other
vessels of a similar type were transferred
respectively for $40, 900 and SIS, 000-and
these schooners were acquired particu-
larly for commerce with South America,
AlIiCd anu europe. De1OTe CQe war the
outlook for all large fore-and-afters
had become exceedingly problematical.
Steamers and barges were erowding
them in the coastwise trade of the United
States, and foreign cramps" left scant
change in overseas voyaging. No pro-
phet would have ventured guess that
the best years of these wooden craft
were to be their last years, and that on
the basis of their actual current value
they would soon be standing at among
the most profitable investments in the
world.
The Marine Journal rejoices heartily at
the new turn which affairs have taken
for the owners and masters of these dis
tinctively Yankee ships of trade. These
fine schooners represent type of high
economy and efficiency in wooden ship
construction and equipment, and they
deserve a better fate than being aban-
doned before their days of usefulness are
over. Such a better fate is theirs now,
and good fortune will undoubtedly attend
them not only until the war has ended
but after the strife is over. 1t will take
some time, even when peace comes, for
the steam shipyards to make up for the
wear and tear and waste of warfare, and
meanwhile the American fore-and- alters
will be active and successful wherever
winds may blow. Purchasers of these
! fine schooners bid fair to get all their
money back and more-The Marine

Algebra Race Is New Sport.
So many championships requiring
been won by Pasadena high school stu
dents this year that the faculty has
deemed it is necessary to find them some-
thing new to tackle, all the old fields hav-
ing been conquered. Hence an algebra
contest, with Manual Arts high school of
Los Angeles on the other side, will be
staged next Thursday morning
1t is understood that this will be the
first interscholastic affair of the kind ever
held. At any rate, it is something en-
tirely new to Southern California. Like
debating, it gives the intelectuals
chance. Elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for the event. At either school
two algebra teams are in training, and it
is rumored that their diet IS confined
strictly to brain foods. On the big day,
Manual Arts will send team of ten to
Pasadena, and Pasadena will send team
OF equal size to Manual Arts.
When the Pasadena hig h faculty evolv-
ed the novel plan, and arranged date
with Manual Arts, fifty-six aspirants for
the local team entered the field. This
was many weeks ago. The choice has
now narrowed down to the necessary,
Q5) fifteen.
The algebra experts will put on their
contests during the assembly period, be-
fore the entire student bodies of the two
schools. There will be referees, timers,
starters and other officials. The winning
team will be the one scoring the greatest
umber of points, which are given fol-
quickness and accuracy.
