Editor Kennebec Journal
What seems to me a very unique re-
quest has come to me on account of a
little item which you copied from the
Oxford Democrat In regard to a small
clover patch in my dooryard. / received
letter from lady in Hallowell asking
me to furnish 100 four-leaved clovers to
send to the soldier boys Of her section
who have gone to the border. I will say
that after a thorough search made by my
wife and myself yesterday we found 1O7
four-leaved clovers and will send them
tomorrow. 1t seems almost unbelievable
that several hundred four-leaved clovers
could be found yearly on a patch about
the size of barrel head, but is a fact
nevertheless and. since the publication of
the item in the Democrat we have found
enough seven-leaved stems to make the
total q. besides a number of five and six.
In addition to the 1o7 which 1 presume will
go to the soldier boys. 1 am wondering
II such another patch Of clover can be
found In the State.

war orders brought prosperity to
miners in New Mexico to a. marve,ous
degree. The entire population Of the
state is about $4,000. The value OF
the output Of copper, zinc, and other
metals for 1915 was $s,22s.oO0 greater
than in the previous year and will be
far greater in 1916. There is no def

people engaged in mining, but the in
crease in value of the output Is an
average Of about $24 for every man.

In the discussions about prepared
ness it has been prominently suggest
ed that belt line road be built around
the United States. near the seacoast.
Such a road would be of undoubted
value; but enthusiasts in this direction
apparently lose sight of the fundamen-
tai fact that. either for war or peace
we need good roads everywhere. An
other lesson that can be drawn from
the experience of Europe of late is so
to build the roads that they will stand
up in time of need. If our special war
roads were built by the average county
official they would probably not survive
actual war conditions over a week

What Is Solitude7

What constitutes solitude? The an
alysis depends on the appreciation Of
him who makes it. We have in mind
an individual who suffered the soli-
tudes Of Boston for two whole davs
and declared to us, as we sat under
the stars by friendly fire one No
vember night. in a Northern Maine
wilderness: Il thought I'd go crazy,
tn nothing to do but watch everybody
hurry somewhere. What's the sense
O livin' il you've got to ramp around
like an ant all the time. AS for me,
give me the old spruce brush, an
quiet, an no fool human beins to spoil
it,"
Solitude Is a state Of mind.
Golfers for July has the following:
Here is a concrete example Of what
has just been said. Back in 1S47 a
young fellow named Donald Smith was
sent to take charge of an isolated fur
trading post in the interior Of desolate
Labrador. 1t was a terrible place:
blizzard-swept in winter tormented by
midges and Mosquitoes through the
short hot summertime sort Of place
where modern novelist's hero turns
to brandy and ends with suicide
Smith was there 20 years. He read
books learned the country, built up an
experiment farm that excited the ad-
miration Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. saved money, and started the ca
reer tha ended two years ago in West
minister Abbey. Donald Smith became
Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. and
his place in history is secure as one
Of the great builders of our modern
North America. 1t all began in the
unlikeliest place imaginable, that lost
fur store in the wilds Of Laborador
and Smith tells US the secret in his
own words:
Peaple speak Of the solitude Of Labra-
dor. It wasn't a solitude for me. I knew
everybody there, from the oldest white
traders and fishermen to the youngest
Indian hunters and Eskimos, and ever
their dogs. l knew every turn in the
coast line and bend in the river, and
every natural object had an interest for
me- As for ennui, I can honestly say
did not know the meaning OF the term.
Time never hung heavily on my hands.

thing in it, and sent in great many
inquiries. OF course 1t developed that
there was no such baby at Houlton.

Woodstock, then at St. John, and then
at Canterbury Station, then in Heaven,
and then down below somewhere, we
don't just remember where. Anyway

The Rural Credits Law

When the remarkable record
of legislative achievement of the
Wilson administration is review
ed the rural credits law will
rank first in the minds of many
and among the greatest in the
opinion of all. 1t is of more val
Ne to the farming population of
the country, the basic element
of the nation, than all the legis-
lation in their behalf passed by
the Republicans in the last half
century.
The farmer can give the best
security in the world. 1t can
not be lost. hidden or destroyed.
or permanently injured. Bad
management may cause manu-
featuring, mercantile. railroad
or other stock to drop from 5000
a share to far below par. There
are no such fluctuations in land
vLlu s: they are stable and en-.
during. Farm loans suffer UNI
der one disadvantage they are
not liquid, not Immediately con-
vertible into cash.
The trouble has always been
that our laws and our banking
rules and regulations have been
adapted only to the needs of the
capitalists, merchants and bust.
ness generally which only re.
quire short time loans. but have
not been adapted to the borrow.
ing needs Of the farmers. But
the evil is now cured and the
lack provided for by the rural
credits law.
