WHY JOHNNIE LEFT THE FARM.

Johnnie bought little pig with money he had
earned,
He named her Nell and fed her we'll and lots
of tricks she learned:
But Nellie grew to be a SOW. had piggies quite
a few,
Then father up and sold them, and kept the
money, too.
Johnnie took little calf as pay for hoelng
corn,
He loved that calf and the calf loved him as
you're born.
But cafie grew to be COW, as all good calfies
do,
Then father up and sold her, and kept the
money, too.
Now. Johnnie loved his little pets, but father
loved the pelf,
So Johnnie left his fathers farm and struck
out for himself.
Said Johnnes pa one summer day, Il often
wonder why
Boys don't like life on the farm, The City is
their cry.
ut always will be strange to me-" continued
Johnnie's pa.

Wnen Johnnie heard what father said he gave
bitter laugh.
Aud thought of his empty childhood and his
little pig and calf.

ArOostook Potatoes.

Potatoes are doing very finely, as they
have been doing for the whole season.
E. A. Rogers of Brunswick, the "po-
tato expert" was in town over week
ago, discovering, according to newspa-
per interviews, that Aroostook was bad
ly IN need of rain. No Aroostook people
have discovered that this year. We
have heard of people with such eagle
vision that they could see fly on barn
door, even when the distance was so
great that neither the barn door itself
nor the barn to which it belonged was
visible. Our farmers have pretty well
learned the lesson not to let the potato
bugs eat TOO many potatoes. This eat
ing may be good for the bugs, but it is
mighty hard on the potatoes and on the
farmer who owns them. The Almighty
without doubt knows much better how
many leaves a potato should have than
man does, and having allowed each vine
SO many, it is pretty certainly bad policy
to let the bugs eat them off. Fort Fair

$7OO,OOO,OOO FOR DEFENSE.
So, 100000 for Dependent Families of Ma
tional Guardsmen.

WASHINGTON. July 27. Nearly $780,
000,O for national defense in the fiscal
year 1917 is the aggregate of the pro-
posed appropriations reached in the SEN
ate today with the passage of the army
appropriation bill. carrying in round
numbers 1914, 200, 900.
This grand total for preparedness still
is subject to revision, however, because
the army bill will follow the naval bill
into conference, where reductions are
probable, despite the firm attitude of
President Wilson in supporting the lib
eral response of the Senate to the call
for adequate defense.
The appropriations for preparedness,
as they now stand, are as follows:
Army,........... ............ s3lS 970, 447 10
Navy SO ozb,o43 90
Notifications Observation-Disclosures. 25,74S ESQ 90
Military Academy ............ .. 223s. 1928 81
Army and navy deficiency ....,... 27558, PAS 05
Totals $685. Gal 9l7 27
AS it passed the Senate, the army bill
exceeded the appropriations made by the
House by more that $131, 900, 600.
In the final hours of the debate on the
measure the Senate agreed to an appro-
priation of $4,000. 900 for the relief of
dependent families of national guards
men and regular army soldiers in ser
vice in the Mexican emergency. Distri-
button of the fund is left to the discre-
ton of the secretary of war, but in no
case shall any dependent family receive
more than $50 month.
An amendment agreed to yesterday
giving soldiers on the border the right to
vote in the field at the November cleo
tons was eliminated from the bill on
point of order just before passage.
AS soon as the army bill was out of the
way the Senate took up and passed after
brief debate the Military Academy ap-
preparation bill carrying So, 238, 1923 81, an
increase of $1,0l9, 524 over the House
authorization.
In the main the Senate approved the
military committees increase over the
House appropriations in the army bill,
although there were few reductions in
the committee recommendations, due to
improvement in the Mexican situation.
Among legislative provisions included
in this appropriation bill are:
Creation of council of national defense
for the coordination of industries and
resources for the national security and
welfare, to consist of the secretaries of
State and navy, war, chief of staff of the
army, fan officer of the navy and SIX
civilians to be appointed by the President
who shall have special acknowledge OF some
industry, public utility or the develop
ment of some natural resource. Civilian
members would serve without compen-
sation except for expenses incurred.
Ten per cent increase in pay for otfi-
GERS of regular army and National
ii Fnr or
in actual service IN the Mexican cam
paign or on border duty.
Increase in the age minimum for en-
listment in the regular army without
consent of parent or guardian from Is to
Il years.

The victory of Ex-Gov. Fernald in the

strength to the Republican ticket in
that State. He is a business man of
national reputation, popular in all cIas-

Moreover, in his execution of public af-

and action. His candi lacy will appeal

adopted by unanimous vote.
"Inasmuch as the cigarette hab-
it is considered one OF the great

ture, sale and use and lend a
helping hand to those held by its
awful grip
Mr.. Brown was invited to pre-
sent the same proposition'to the
Epworth1ans of the Central NJ. z.

earnest manner. After which Mr.
Lorin Dickerson presented it to
the members, making a most for
