What Shall We Do With
Our Hay? Is the CRY

Houlton. Me. July 25.-Whether
Houlton farmers are to harvest all Of
their hay this season Is a question.
Many farmers still have their barns
we'll filled with last years cut which
they have been unable to dispose Of and
considering the scarcity Of help many
farmers plan to plough under much Of
tteir hay crop rather than waste their
time in cutting. The crop is an extra
heavy one and II the outlook was good
no doubt farmers would plan in some
way to harvest their crop. but with
Their barns already nearly filled and
having many more acres Of food stuff
to care for. the question is an important
one regarding help. The weather Of the
past month has not been ideal hay
weather and potato growers wish to
devote all their time to the caring for
their grain and potato crop. Never
have the potatoes looked any better
than at the present time. The weather
has been hot with daily showers and
many Of the large fields are now in
bloom. With good atmosphere condi-
tons the crop this fall should be a
large one.

helpless against any well-equipped en-
envy were it not aided by our allies.
This is the sum total of the activi-
ties of a nation of 100, 100000 people,
and in possession Of incalculable
wealth and boundless resources, during
the six months following its entry (af-
ter two and one-half years warning)
into the greatest war in history.
The simple truth is that, relatively
to the other great nations of the
world, we have in this war exhibited
ourselves a miracle Of ineff1ciency: and
we shall always be inefficient during
the first vital months of any war until
we learn to prepare in advance.
1T is this utter unpreparedness
which should convey the real lesson to
us of this var And remember that as
yet we as a people, acting through our
governmental authorities. have not
taken one step to avert disaster in the
future by introducing permanent
policy of preparedness. The measures
under which we are now acting are
temporary makeshifts. announced to be
such. We have been caught utterly
unprepared in a terrible emergency be-
cause we did nothing until the emer-
Sency actually arose, ana now, our
government announces that what we
are doing is purely temporary; that we
shall stop doing it as soon as the
emergency is over, and will then re-
main equally unprepared for the next
emergency.
1T is this blind refusal-from the
nations standpoint l can only call it
the criminal refusal-to provide for the
future that forces every honest and
far-sighted lover of America to speak.
I'VE cannot afford to count for our
safety on anything but our own armed
strength; the only way to make our
strength effective Is to make it ready
in advance: and the only way really to
make ready in advance is to introduce
the principle of obligatory universal
military training in time of peace for
our young men, and universal service
in time of war for every man and wo-
man in the country in whatever posi-
ton that man or woman can do most
effective work. This is the only demo-
crat tic system"

service in time of war for every man

Roosevelt in an address he delivered
here tonight before the convention of

AS compared to the other great ma
lions of the world, he declared. Ameri-
cans had in this war exhibited them
selves miracle of ineff1ciency
Asserting that the United States
government announces that the meas
are temporary and will be stopped as
soon as the emergency is over. Colonel
Roosevelt characterized this as a
criminal refusal to provide for the
future"
He summed up what America had
accomplished since the declaration of a
state of war with Germany by saying
that the United States did not now
nave single alrplane fit to send across
the German lines and that months
must pass before one could be manu-
featured, that America had no heavy
artillery to put in the battle-lne and
that Major General Pershing and his
soldiers would have to trust to French
and English guns. American sub
marine chasers operating with the
British fleet constituted, he said. only a
tiny fraction of the English force. 1t
would be year after the declaration
of war before America would have a
fair number of big cargo ships.
