A HIGHWAY PATKOL.

1t is not of much advantage to build
good roads unless they are kept up. For
this reason the plan of the Maine High
way Commission to have 500 men patrol
the trunk lines appeals to US strongly.
In the course of an extended automobile
trip over Maine roads last fall it was
brought to our attention that twO-thirds
of the complaints at the condition of
roads were for faults that patrol might
easily have remedied. Stones of all sizes
scattered promlscuously over the high
ways, and holes caused by washouts
were the greatest troubles encountered.
AT the time we commented on this, for
1t seemed such a comparatively easy
matter to clear the stones from the roads
and to fill the holes. Apparently, how
ever, it needs some such organized effort
as the Highway Commission now pro-
poses to bring about this much-to-be-
desired reform. The delightful scenic
stretch of picturesque highway between
Camden and Belfast would have been so
per cent better last summer if the
thousands of annoying small stones could
have been raked out of the way. The
surface of the road itself was smooth
enough to permit of comfortable riding,
but the small stones everywhere made it
decidedly jolly. And SO it is in many
other sections of the State. Roads that
would be at least classified as fair are
berated roundly for no other reason than
that they are streWn with stones and the
holes and glazing inequalities in the sur
face are not filled in. This should be
neither difficult nor expensive work and
il is to be hoped that the highway patrol
with the coming of summer.

WINTERPORT BOARD OF TRADE.

WINTERPoRT, Feb. 8. LastInight rep
resentative body of citizens of Winter
port met in Odd Fellows hall for the
purpose of organizing a Board of Trade
to cooper ate with the Central Maine
Power Company in bringing industries to
the towr. Enthusiasm ran high as num-
erous speakers pointed out the unexcelled
shipping facilities of Winterport, the
beautiful location on the Penobscot river,
and the natural possibilities for develop
ment. Winterport has suffered in the
past from lack of power. Many times
manufacturers have come to view the
port, drawn by the fact that there is
direct boat service with Boston through
out the year, as well as good railroad
service, but the necessity of using steam
power has decided them against locat-
ing here. Now, however, with unlimited
cheap electric power, it is felt by the
citizens that determined effort should
be made to bring industries into the town
that should be attracted here by it's loca-
ton and other natural advantages.
The officers elected were as follows:
President. Joshua Treat. Jr.; secretary,
Walter A. Cowan; treasurer, Charles A.
Mckinney. Articles of association were
adopted, and the second Wednesday of
each month was set for the regular meet
ing.

Blethen was student at Kent's Hill in
the COS, graduating in 49, He was a
trustee OF the school from 1872 until the
time of his death in 1915. When, in 1882,
DIR. Torsey was soliciting funds for the
erection of house for the president of
the school he wrote Col. Blethen, at that
time editor If the Kansas City Journal,
asking for donation of 500, Immedi-

Blethen announcing contribution of
81, 900. The doctor at once telegraphed
the colonel his acceptance. As a result
of this campaign, Blethen Hall, the home
OF the president, was secured and erected
on the campus at cost of $1,000. Col.
Blethen has repeatedly manifested his
interest in substantial ways, five years
ago donating nearly $1,000 for the
thorough repairing of the house. Col.
Blethen was himself school man, being

STORY OF THE POTATO.
Who introduced 1t Into Europe Is Not
Known.

Of all the gifts Europe has received
from America, none has been more vain.
able and Of greater economic Importance
IMAM the potato, and its introduction as
an article of food forms one of the most
interesting chapters in the history of the
human race.
History relates that the Spaniards on
thelr arrival in America found the potato
cultivated by the natives, and, according
70 humboldt and Darwin, growing in it's
wild state in both South and North
America. The introduction of the potato
TO Europe is ascribed to more than one
man. Some say 1t was Sir Walter Raleigh.
others Sir Francis Drake, who brought
the potato to Ireland and England. An
other version says that it was Thomas
Herlot, the mathematician, who return.
ed with the potato after an American
excursion of two years duration. Per-
haps all were instrumental in introducing
the potato to the Old World.
In Germany it is generally accepted
that the introduction of the potato is due
to Drake, and to show their appreciation
the people of Offenburg, in Barden, Ger
many, have honored his memory by the
erection of his statue in one of the pub
lie squares of the town.
Others agail claim that the Spanish
seafarers brought home with them the
potato on their return from America, 1t
has been proven, however, by scientists,
that it was the sweet potato and;not the
solanum tuberosum that was introduced
into Spain.
Those persons who first received the
potato seed planted them in the gardens
more for sake of curiosity and the poorer
classes were hostile to the new vegeta-
BILE. The Scotch would not plant potatoes
because they were not mentioned in the
Bible.
The true value of the potato as an
article of food when first introduced in
Europe was understood or realized by
but very few people.
For long time potatoes were planted
by the English notability as curious
exotic and remained extremely scarce.
Not until the middle of the 18th century
did the potato become extensively cult
waited and its food value recognized in
England.
In France it was only after employing
exceptional methods that Parmentier, a
chemist, succeeded in having the people
use the potato.
Today the potato is the most service
able article of food to be found, and it IS
the standard of all nations.
The greatly despised and neglected
tuber has come into its own. 1t is one
of the most profitable crops man with
ground can raise. Upon the potato the
world today depends for its BRAIN and

REV. A. A. BLAIR TALKS TO WEST
BROOK SEMINARY STUDENTS.

The Rev. A. A.. Blair of the First
Universalist Church of Belfast was the
speaker at the second vocational lecture
of the term at Westbrook Seminary,
Moulton Chap Tuesday morning, Feb.
lst, before the student body and several
friends, speaking on the Call of the
Church or the Call of the Ministry.
In opening he declared that ministry
was not in the sense of the term voca-
ton but it was calling and desire to
uplift the world, to devote ones life to
do good.
He averred that one to erter the min
lstry must be qualified in the highest
sense of the word and that no one should
undertake this for his ilfe's work unless
he feels perfectly sure of his ground and
Willingness to devote his whole life. No
man should enter this life as a business
proposition,as it was not such and today as
in other phases of life there are men who
are not at all fitted and are utter failures
IN the ministry, whereas in the business
world or regular profession they would
succeed. He advised no student to enter
into any life, in fact, unless they are
adapted or qualified or rather desired to
be qualified.
In most pleasing manner and inter-
esting way he outlined the duties of a
minister and also mentioned the social
end. He said that God made the earth
and everything for a direct purpose, and
like this man was made for direct pur-
pose and place in this world. This is
what man should find and has to find his
place and if he does not succeed in finding
this place he is an utter failure in the
majority of cases, because he is not
adapted.
DR.. Blair who spoke this morning has
an ex Exceptionally pleasing personality
and kept the entire members of the
student body deeply interested and was
accorded splendid reception at the close

1916 A THRIFT YEAR"

con January 1st, says Merle Crow
ell in the February American Magazine,
" the American Bankers Association
launched a movement to make 1916
Thrift Year, movement which has
already developed into the mightiest eff
fort of it's kind ever undertaken in
America. One Million New Savers in
1916, is its slogan. Through the 'Fami-
ly's Money Department, this magazine,
from time to time, will keep its readers
in touch with what is being done.
The campaign, happily enough. falls
on the centennial of the establishment
of the first savings bank in America,
the Prov1dent Institution for Savings in
the Town of Boston, founded on Deem
Der 3. 1876.
"a steering committee of bankers is
actively directing the crusade, and back
of them is an Advisory Thrift Commits
sion, made up of seventy-five prominent
men, am ng whom are ex- President Taft,
Cardinal Gibbons. Hugh Chalmers, the
automobile man; Eugene Lamb Richards,
Superintendent of Banking in the State
of New York, and Herbert F. Gunnison
of the Brooklyn Eagle.
But the bankers and the commission
are not boosting alone. Many other big
organizations have enlisted for the cam
paign, such as the Young Mems Christian
Association, the Postal Savings Bank
system, the National Civic Federation,
and the National Americanization Com
mlttee. This last organization and the
Postal Savings Bank system are concen~
trating on our foreign element. Carter
b. heene, director of the postal banking
organization, is sending out publicity mat
ter IN seventy-two different languages,
encouraging people to take money out of
their stockings and put it in the postal
banks, where it will be doing active
good"
