1t is interesting to recall that 100
years ago, March %, 1917, the towns-'
people Of Bucksport voted to petition
the commonwealth Of Massachusetts of
which Maine was then a part, to
change the name from Buckstown to
Bucksport. The request was due to the
confusion with the name Buckston Civ
en- a town in another section of the
State. The town of Bucksport seems
to have no definite record Of the date of
granting this request, but town records
Of June Of that year are dated Bucks
port.
One farmer living in Harpswell has
refused to take advantage Of the:higk
prices this season and as a result has
won both customers and friends. This
farmer has always made speciality of
cabbage and while the stores were re-
failing cabbage from eight to ten. cents
a pound this farmer has charged two
and three cents. He claimed that his
crop was up to the average and that
he could not see why he should Jump
the price when selling to his regular
customers.

CATER TO FOWLS APPETITE
gusts Layer With Her Boarding
House-Nariety Is Best

Palatability is an important factor
in the feeding Of chickens. Many
people think the hen has no sense Of
taste. To satisfy oneself regarding
this it is only necessary to watch the
bird at feeding time and note her keen
sense of discrimination as she selects
the kernels OF wheat from among the
rye and barley and the freshly sprOut-
ed, tender shoots from among the
dried, less succulent green reed In
the feeding Of grain maShes and green
feed the hen has a varied preference.
Such feeds as she likes best are best
for her.
1t never pays to try to force any
iced upon the hen that she does not
like or want The feeding of only one
grain soon disgusts the layer with her
boarding house Variety is essential
TO obtain palatabIlity. An occasional
Feeding Of wet mash is readily appre-
ciated in preference to the customary
dry form. SprOuted oats Will taste
much better than the steady diet Of
dried alfalfa or clover, and a hot feed
on cold day makes the hens sing
with delight. 1t pays to cater to the
hens appetite.

PROVES GERMAN INTRIeUEs.

An amazing report of German in
rigue and propaganda against the in
terests of the United States is present
ed herewith. These disclosures are
made by the committee of public infor-
nation, an official bureau of the gov
eminent.
Some of these cases have been made
public before. The Indictment drawn
up by the Washington authorities sets
them forth in glaring sequence. They
began in the autumn of 1914
The report by the committee of pub
lie information is given herewith.

country employed as the headline to an
article dealing with a rumOr of Ger

refrain of die Wacht am Rhein," the
German national hymns:

In the parody it carries sneer COM
the German mode of speech and
thought.
Typifies Propaganda.
OF itself the instance is slight But
1t typif1es a certain important phase
of the German propaganda which sub
thy but persistently seeks to present
Germany'S course in America in the
most favorable light, even to the ex-
tent of defending the improper activ-
tiles of the TeutOnic diplomatic repre-
Sentatives before their passports were
given them.
Because of this continuing propa-
ganda certain documents in the pos
session of the department of justice
now assumes peculiar Importance, in
that they prove undeRiably the init
mate relations between the accredited
representatives of the kaiser in the
United States and plotters against the
laws and the security of this country,
whose enterprise did not fall short OF
projected wholesale destruction of life
and property.

Bomb Story From Legation.
The latest story is told in a report
TO the state department from William
Whiting Andrews, secretary of the Ie-
cation at Bucharest, and a letter from
Foreign Minister Porombaru of Rou-
mania.
Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display of great precaution aroused
the suspicious of the Roumanfan gov
eminent. On August q, 1915, the
evening prior to the date of Rou-
mania's declaration of war, some OF
these cases were taken to the German
legation, located in a different building
from the consulate.
Convinced that the boxes were not
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on its
departure from Bucharest, the Rou-
manian authorities later ordered the
police to find and examine their con-
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister VOpicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search. The boxes were
found buried in the garden of the
German legation.
