WAR REEVES
U.S.. SHIPBUILDING
Five Maine Towns Alone
Constructing Thirty
nine Vessels.

After the book had apparently closed
on the last chapter, and scores OF
barnacle covered hulls had lazily
rubbed for years at still more neglected
docks, Old Neptune raises his trident.
and deserted shipyards spring TO life.
The old hulls are repaired, spars and
rigging swing into place, new sails and
fresh paint restore what seemed use
less derelict to q thing of beauty and
profit All along the Atlantic Coast
this Transformation is going on, for
these rejuvenated craft pay for them
selves often with their first cargo, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine" II ships
have souls, as poets say, what a thrlH
of JOY must CULVER through each TIM
Der as, with every stitch of canvas set,
they head out to sea once more.
Maine has been a noted shipbullding
state; century ago il was her great
industry: thousands of men fashioned
the craft which flew the Stars and
Stripes on every sea and ocean. FIVE
wears AGO the oldest shipbuilder in the
state admitted the industry was prac-
tically dead. One year ago the ship
wards were deserted and rapidly be
coming a mass of rottlng tlmbers ana
Junk. To-day an army Of men are
working TO restore these yards, and
already keels are laid and frames OF
three and five-masters are taking
shape in some yards for the first time
in fifteen years. In five towns alone in
Maine thirty-nine vessels are either
already on the stocks or in process OF
preparation. And the prospects are
that this revival is not TO be short
lived, for there is great scarcity OF
ships throughout the world and the
contest for export trade with the close
of the war will be terrific.
Our poverty of merchant marine had
not been generally realized until the
war: now that the condition is felt we
are starting TO repair the damage, but
wears must elapse before we can take
our place with other maritime nations.
When the ocean liners Of Europe again
resume their regular salllngs It is
doubtful if we can successfully com
pete in other than coastwise frame
without some substantial subsidies sucn
AS other nations extend to their snip
companies. Whatever the cost we, with
the longest disable seacoast Of any
nation. should assume our rlghtful ana
necessary place on the seas.

The fact is that there never was so

union with the United States as now.
The propaganda for annexation came

CATTLE FEED WASTED.

The annual waste in this country Of
certain foods available for cattle totals
more than slOO,OO0,OoO, according to
recent estimates made by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. This loss Is
chiefly in the form of grain straw and
corn stover, which might probably be
mixed with concentrated foods such as
cottonseed meal or cake. corn, molasses,
peanuts. or beans, thereby making an
excellent winter feed for cattle. In

cleavage dividing them from the United
States. The theory of the similarity OF
ideals, of the community Of interests
and the other well rounded phrases
which used to furnish ammunition for
after-dinner speakers at every interna-
Nonal function have received a rude
jolt. Canada now recognizes itself as
separate entity in a manner never
dreamed OF in the old days.
Different Views Expressed.
Americans invariably used TO say
when they came TO Canada that they
could not tell the difference between
this country and their own; that il
somebody did not tell them they would
rever know when they crossed the
boundary line. Visiting Americans make
no such assertions now. for they no
longer find the former similarity in
Point Of view and motives Of political
action.
There is only one Canadian Of any
prominence who has recently stated his
belief that annexation with the United
States remains as even the barest pos
sibiity Of the future-Henri Bourassa.
He does not advocate annexation, but
the independence Of Canada and the
consequent breaking up of the British
Empire. He advocates the right OF
secession as Calhoun did in the old
days in the South. But the prayer OF
Canadians is that there will be no
sequel TO Bourassa's seed planting such
as followed Calhoun's.
Bourassa's propaganda for the right
Of secession and the independence OF
Canada ia ignored If tolerated Ac-
cording to "The Toronto News" "any
leader who might attempt to advocate
political union with the United States
would find safety only across the Dor
der" This assertion. is scarcely con-
sistent with the statements immedi-
ately following in the same paper, that
such utterances as those of Mr.. Moul-
ton do not even disturb the Canadian
people. He is so utterly without knowl-
edge Of the spirit or resources of Can
ada that we could not get angry with
his vagaries."
L. S. Feeling Puzzles.
One thing that puzzles Canadians in
connection with the development OF
American sentiment concerning the
war is its unexpectedly great admlra-
ton for Germany-what one American
describes as "a great reservoir OF sym
pathy. or at least of tolerance, for the
German cause"
In Canada we see Germany in new
light. We recognize her now as bar
barian. We explain il by the fact that
one class in Germany has always been
pacan. and that in two short genera
lions il has imposed its ideals upon q
whole people and turned nation Of
peace loving and lovsble Christians
into a nation of Huns.

Mr.. Harman was born on farm
near Nacksville, Pendlcton Co..
West Va, Apr !, 1869, youngest
child Of David II. and Cynthia J.
Harman
His grandfather on the paternal
side was Samuel Harman a promi-
nent farmer of that section, and his
mother father was Solomon He'd
rick one Of the largest farmers of
the North Fork valley, both being
prominent families.
His father was first cousin to
Hon. George Harman, Republican
nominee for Congress III 1890.
He spent his carly life on the
farm and received only such educa-
t!Onal advantages as the common
schools afforded up to the age of 10.
His mother died when he was an
infant and his father lost his health
in the Civil war in behalf of the
Union. This made it necessary for
young Harman to rely upon his
own efforts to obtain any cduca-
tlOnal advantages beyond what the
common schools afforded, such ad
vantages being very meagcr at the
time, he often having to stay out

to obtain money to enable him to

by teaching i'll the winter and work

SHOULD CONTROL
CHERRY BEETLE
Recomme ndations for the Control Of
An Insect That Is Periodically
Serious Pest in Orchards.


The appearance in enormous num-
bers Of the cherry leaf-beetle in the
spring Of 1915 resulted in a study Of
this insect, the results of which have
just been published by the depart
ment in a professional paper, Bulletin
No. 1852, THE Cherry Leaf Beetle

my of Cherries" by r. A. Cushman
and Dwight 1sely. The 1915 outlook
was by far the worst that fruit grow
ers have yet experienced. That ear
the beetle proved destructive through.
out the greater part Of New York,
Pennsylvania, and northern West Vir-
glnla, and also in the northern part
OIL lower Michigan, where cherry
growing is very extensive The entom-
ologists who studied the insect at
that time now recommend that for
peach orchards nicotine sulphate be
used, and for cherry trees sweetened
arsenate Of lead. These are the only
two cultivated fruits that the beetle
attacks. Sweet cherry and lum are
not in danger and the thicker leaved
varieties of the sour cherry are much
less seriously injured than the thin
leaved kinds

part to 500 parts of water, to which
was added fish oil soap at the rate
Of pounds to so gallons of liquid
The spray does not cause the same
injury to peach foliage that is likely
tc follow the use Jf strong mixtures
Of arsenate of lead. 1t is, however,
only temporarily effective, and IN ap-
plication one day does not prevent
an invasion of the orchard on the
following day.
For cherry trees arsenate of lead
must be applied at rate of not less
than pounds to so gallons Of water
The addition of malasses at the rate
Of 1 IL gallons to so gallons Of the
mixture makes the spray much more
effective, but, on the other hand, the
addition Of this sweetening allows
the spray to be more easily washed
off by rains. In favorable weather,
however, the effect of the spray s
continuous. Should the beetle migra-
ton occur during u rainy period the
unsweetened arsenate Of lead may
be used.
AS the beetles feed on the under
side Of the leaves, care must be TAX
en- to cover these with the poison
spray. In some instances it may be
necessary to spray only young cherry
trees or older trees os the thin-leaved
varieties.
