The Crow Must Be SUPPRESSED.

Now that the world is faced with a
serious shortage of food, and that the
price of seed corn is soaring beyond
bounds, it behooves US all to discrim-
mate sharply between those birds that
are insectivorous and therefore the
friends of man and his crops, and those
that are graminivorous and hence pc
culiarly inimical to human interests.
Among the latter family of corvidae,
the crow and his cousins-ravens,
rocks, magpies, jackdaws, etc.-are
adjudged to stand, despite the fact that
their diet Is more or less omnivorous.
Their depredations in grain fields
at the time of sowing are, In fact, so
serious that in France the secretary
of agriculture has issued bulletins to-
the various projects, recommending
the destruction Of these birds, and Of
fering information to this end.-Scien-

SOMETHING ABOUT FURS.
Augusta Dealer Chats Interestingly About
the Different Kinds.

Speaking of furs, sa an Augusta
dealer the other day, ''the most promi-
nent fur now in the market is that of the
red fox in its natural color, and the lady
who rejoices in the possession of a set of
these furS this winter will be right in
style. The dealers are also dyeing many
skins of the red fox both in black and
taupe, and in both colors the effect is
very pleasing. The black skins are also
pointed" by blowing white badger hairs
in them at intervals, and when treated in
this way the skins sell at from $40 to $50
Silver gray and black fox skins are very
scarce and sell as high as from $500 to
$1,000, according to quality and size, The
skins OF the silver gray and the black
fox are very similar except that the silver
gray fox has occasional white hairs on
the rump.
"Raccoon skins are also very stylish
this season, both in the natural color and
dyed, and good skins sell at from Sl2 to
SIS, according to quality. The skin of
the common muskrat is also in good de-
mand, both in its natural color and when
sold as Hudson seal. The latter effect is
produced by plucking the long hairs from
the pelt then dipping it in seal dye. In
its latter form it makes a very handsome
skin. Let me show you a coat made of
muskrat skins in their natural color
which makes handsome and serviceable
garment. | will tell you something about
this coat-the skins from which it was
made were taken from rats which were
Killed along the shores of Cobbossee
stream, near Gardiner. A muskrat coat
IN the natural color, like the one | show
you, costs from SIS to $3.50, and one made
of the dyed skins costs from Si5O to $3.50.
THE fur of the black lynx is very pop
ular for mutfs and scarfs and costs from
$50 to $50 EACH French mole skins are
used extensively for muffs and neck
pieces, the muffs selling at from s25 to
$40, and the neck pieces according to
their size. The skin of the common
skunk is very much in style this winter
and is being used extensively for making
muffs, the cost of which ranges from S25
to $50. The furs which have mentioned
are few of the leaders, and you might
add that there is big demand for furs
of all kinds"

Who and Where Are Our Sol.
diers?

Here is an important matter, one that
perhaps many have thought of, but no
one has authority or means to go ahead
with, but one that affects many thousands
of people of Maine, as follows:
Who have volunteered or been drafted
from the State of Maine?
To definitely decide that questio it
has been suggested that the Red Cross
might do wonderful work in addition to
its generous and effective course in be-
half of the soldier boys, by making a
house-to-house canvass of every city and
town in the State, asking the question:
Chow many have enlisted from this
household and where are they now?'
The fact is that with the mastering
into the United States service of the
Maine National Guard Infantry, Coast
Artillery, Hospital Corps and other units
further record of the men was lost to
Maine authorities, unless the United
States should now or later furnish this
State with copies of its records. Maine
at this time has no more official knowl-
edge as to the number and whereabouts
OF her soldier boys than the individual
The same thing occurred during the
Civil War and no end of trouble and con-
fusion was caused until the government
was persuaded to furnish record of the
Maine regiments. Complete records of
all men entering the service of the Maine
National Guard are on file at the adju-
tant generals office at the State House
and complete to their entering Uncle
Sans service, when they cease Now,
what might be done by the Red Cross
would be to complete the record by the
questioning of every household and sup
plying the information to the adiutant
generals department which would then
be able to answer the inquiries about
their boys coming from thousands of peo-
pie in an endless stream. That the
whereabouts of the men from Maine are
scattered all over the country and Europe
is evidenced by the following list, which
will take care of most of them, although
some may be in other branches of Uncle
Sans service:
Regular Army, Navy, National Army,
Coast Artillery l03d Infantry The old
End Name, list Maine Heavy Artillery,
graduates and students at Plattsburg and
other training camps, Ordnance Dept
Corps, Maine Quartermaster's Corps,
Motor Truck Co., % NJ Dept.), Aviation
Corps Hospital Corps, Ambulance Corps,
Marines, Saw Mill Units, Forestry Units,
RalToad Engineers CoFpS, SANITARY corps,
Medical Corps, Dental Service and 9TH
erS.
We take the above from the kennebec
journal, The gentleman suggests that
the Red Cross might find out who, from
this State, are in military service and
where they are. He further suggests
that the information when obtained be
given to the adjutant generals office
which then would be able to answer the
inquiries of anxious relatives We re-
ment of sarcasm and perhaps our Demo-
cratic adiutant general may, upon con-
sideration, take the same view

PoWderIess Gun Deadly.

An American inventive genius has
invented powderless gun, which may
revolutionize land attacks. The gun,
which might be taken for large grind
stone at short distance, is revolved
at great speed by an electric motor,
and is capable of firing hundreds Of
shots minute. The bullets are car
ried in small cups which hold them
until the gun reaches the proper po-
sition for their discharge by centrifu-
gal force. The weapon is accurate at
five miles, Is cheap to operate and is
noiseless.-Capper's Weekly.

LAW COURT RESCRIpT IN WALDO
COUNTY CASE.

The law court recently handed down a
rescript in the Waldo county case of
Frank L. Wilder, Searsmont, trustee,
versus Estelle L. Wilder, Butler, trustee,
ct ais, giving judgment for the plaintiff.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie G.. Cornish of Au-
gusta, is as follows:
A deed OF trust provided that at the
termination of certain life estates the
trustees should transfer and convey said
premises and trust estate in fee free and
discharged of all trusts. A. left no chill
dren of his body but left legally adopt
ed son, the adoption having occurred 16
years after the trust deed was executed.
Upon the question whether this adopt
ed son is to be deemed ''child' within
the purview of this trust deed, it is held:
l. That under R. S. CHI, u, sec. 49, an
adopted child, so far as custody of the
person and rights of inheritance and
obedience are concerned, becomes the
child of the adopters the same as if bern
to them in lawful wedlock, with two ex-
ceptions not material here
z. That when one makes provision
for his own child or children by will or
by deed of trust he should be presumed to
have included an adopted child within
that designation.
3. That when in a will or deed of
trust provision is made for 'schild or
children" of some other person than the
testator or grantor an adopted child is
not included unless other language in the
Will or deed makes it clear that he was
intended to be included.
4. That as the gift over in this case
was to the 'child or children" of another
party than the grantor the presumption
is against the estate passing to the adopt
ed son, and as the record is barren of any
facts tending to prove that the grantor
intended the estate to pass to an adopt
ed child, the burden resting on the de-
PENDANTS has not been established

To Close Butter Board

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. The Elgin
butter board is to be closed for the period
OF the war, under an agreement announc
ed today between the board and the food
administration.
Closing of the board was requested by
Food Administrator Hoover and the re-
quest was promptly complied with by the
board. Market conditions, Mr. Hoover
explained in making the demand should
be permitted to govern prices during the
war.
The Elgin board has virtually controll-
ed butter prices in the United States for
half century.
The prices it fixed have set a standard
Tor all other parts of the country.
No one individual or corporation should
ever be allowed to fix prices for the peo-
pie of the United States A democratic
government should never tolerate trade
