Why the Sky Is Blue.

To tho Editor OF The Times: VIII
you please tell me why the sky Ia
blue?
The sky gets It's light from the
sun. and when 1t gets no light from
the sun. or at night from the moon
and stars, Il is dark. The atmos'
phere about the earth Is filled with
little particles of solid matter
specks Of dust. These catch the
bigger waves of light from the sun
and let the shorter waves pass by.
These shorter waves are the blue
lisht waves which give the sky Its
color.

GRIP AND NEURiSTHENIA

There 10 form Of neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it post
Urippap' neurasthenia. One Of the
foremost medical authorities Of New
York city in q lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
"Broadly speaking, every victim Of
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
yous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
lauguor of mind and body, disturbed,
fitiul sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, q non-alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get q box
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request. we will send you a free
pamphlet, Building Up the Blood"
which contains chapter on the grip.

Dustin Farnu,h in ben Blair" Para
mount Newspictures and Others.

Ben Blair, a strong drama of the
Western plains. is the Pallas Picture
offering at the Opera House today and
tomorrow. The name part gives Dus-
tin Farnum. the finest portrayor Of
Western parts, another opportunity to
win additional laurels.
But sharing the glory of the leading
part is shown a little boy who has been
the hero of motion picture comedies
and dramas by the score. In many of
them he has portrayed the boyhood
days of a part that Dustin scores in as
the grown-up hero.
With the aptitude of an exceptional
mind he grasps the essentials and is
very earnest to make it seem that 1t is
his hero, Dustin that is playing. This
boy, Gordon Griffith, is very fearless
and did not hesitate to leap from the
roof of tall barn, a great height for
boy into a life net below and then
from a good height to the ground, to
register one of the many thrills in

FARMERS UNION
AT MACHIAS, ME

On March 2Sth Charles H. Gardner.
president of the Farmers Union of

The officers: President L. P. Thaxter; !;
vice president George W. MacRae; treas
urer, E. S. Hill; secretary, j. Burleigh
Thompson.
This addition to the number Of locals
already organized makes a total of 81
and the third local union to be organized
in Washington county The membership
of the Machias union gave every evl-
dence of being interested in the union.
Before the close of the meeting car of
grain was ordered from the Farmers
Union Grain & Supply Co. and stated
they were going to take advantage Of
other articles being handled by the
unions.
The potato market varies from $1.15 to
1924 per bushel fob Boston. There is no
particular rush to get the product to the
market and therefore the market is be-
ing fed in accordance with correct prin-
ciples-just enough to meet the demand.
Some day the farmer will learn that the
method of feeding the market sufficient
to last three weeks or more is just as
bad as feeding a COW three weeks sup
plies at one feeding.
Emery E. Austin, manager of the
Farmers Union Grain & Supply Co., has
just returned from the West, where he
made some very favorable arrangements
along grain and flour lines.
