the work by the farmers of the state.
both individually and through their or
ganizations.
At the present time agents are work.
Ing IN III Of the 16 counties Of the
State and agents will soon be placed in
two additional counties. Eight special
lists working on state-wide problems
give full time to extension duties, while
IL members Of the resident teaching
stan attend to many calls for assist
ance.
The plan of all extension work In
Maine is not based on the idea of
growing bigger crops. but is based on
the foundation of helping farmers get
more dollars profit. In these days of
competition with foreign crops and the
high price of labor it is necessary for
the farmer to use the most profitable
methods which can be found. 1t is the
business Of the University to locate
these methods and take them to the
farmer.
Any farmer who Is not acquainted
with this extension work should get In
touch with some farmer who is ac-
quainted with it or write the Univer-
sity for information.

Of getting over it for. if the soldier
doffs his UNIFORM he is liable to ar
rest as a deserter, and If he comes over

He Who Shirks His Work.

The man who shirks his work, wbo
treats the service of labor with indii
ference, who sacrifices his efficiency On
the altar of self indulgence, loafs On
his job and plans to see how little hs
can do and not be caught, is to be the
most pitied man on the face of the
earth.
He thinks he is cheating his en-.
ployer. But the employer IS not tie
man he is cheating. Far from il. Ha
is cheating himself. More than cheat.
ing himself, he is assassinating oppOr.
tunity and paving the way to ute,
ruin and disgrace
The man who cannot be trusted with
labor for which he is honestly paid Is
just as despicable as the man who re-
fuses to pay for labor honestly per.
formed. The shirker is essentially Dis
honest Unfaithful to himself. setting
the bomb that will sooner or later send
him to poverty, he is a menace and an
abomination.-Dayton Journal.

Why Coins Are Milled.

Did you ever look at the edge Of 8
dime or quarter? They are different
from pennies and nickcls. for all silver
and gold coin have what are called
"milled" edges, while the edges Of
pennies and nickels are smooth. The
reasons for this is that some dishonest
persons used to clip pieces off the
coins, especially the gold ones, and
then sell these scraps of precious metal
when they had saved a great many.
Every year the nation lost large sums
of money this way, and the thieves
would smooth the edges off so well
that 1t was hard to find out who was
guilty. The best way Of stopping this
practice was found to be to mil" The
