MEMORIAL DAY.

For Memorial Day has always been an
occasion not only for memories but for
conservation. To the gray-haired men,
every year fewer in number, who actually
bore the heat and the burden of our war of
reunion it is perhaps chiefly day of
memories. But for the rest of us it can
not be that; if it is to have vital meaning
Tor us, it must have root in our own ex-
perlence and in our own present needs.
The sight of the bent and aged men who
In their youth and strength made it pos
slble for this republic to come forth from
its travail free and undivided and great,
the simple and beautiful commemOration
service, the half-masted flags, and the
graves heaped with flowers-these things
touch with momentary feeling even the
most thoughtleSs. But if that is all, the
day has failed of it's noblest mission. If
1t does not rouse in us all-men, women
and little children-a fresh understanding
OF all that our country means to us, if it
does OF kindle anew our devotion not only
to our native land itself but to all the
principles of human liberty on which our
government is founded, if it does not make
us glow with living desire to be of SER
vice each in his own way to the cause of
freedom and justice among mankind, then
we have lost the message that the patriots
who instituted the day meant it to carry.
| Ii we have, some of us, taken this day
too Lightly, if we have thought of it rather
as welcome holiday than as solemn day
OF conservation to the nobler ideals of ma
| tlonal life, let us not make that mistake
| this year of all years. The world is being
| remade about US; it is not too much to
hope that, in Lincoln's mighty phrase, all
mankind is under God to have a new birth
of freedom. In this great crisis of the
| race America is to have part. On this
most hallowed of days let us pledge our
selves and all we have to making that part
not only honorable but glorious Let
each of us see to it that through him the
republic is not hndered in the path of SER
vice.-The Youths Companion.

Governor MiIIiken, who has Just re-
turned from Washington, stated on Tues
day that he was still waiting for definite
information from the War Department in
relation to road construction for the sea-
son. The War Department is expected
to advise Governor Milliken in few
days relative to the Importance of pro-
posed new roads from a military stand
point.

| who has been designated by Governor
| Milliken as the chairman of the ship
building commission for the State of
Maine, returns from Washington after
his consultation with General George W.
Goethals, chairman of the federal ship
ping board, the other four members of
the commission will be appointed by
the governor. The commission will
choose some central point, not necessarily
Augusta, for it's headquarters, with the
probabilities that Portland will be select
ed. 1t is understood that the commission
will employ an executive secretary.
Gov. Milliken says: eve have provid-
ed for an organization to be known as
the Junior Volunteers, composed of boys
between the ages of sixteen years and

ganization will be directed by Mr.. Jeffer-
son T. Smith, the State Secretary of the
| Young Mems Christian Association, who
will have associated with him an advisory
committee consisting of the State Super
intendent of Public Schools, Mr. Mitchell
of the University of Maine, Mr.. Roberts,
the Commissioner of Agriculture, Mr..
Thompson, Master of the State Grange
and Mr. John E. Bunker, Executive Sec
rotary of the State Committee on Public
Safety. Boys between the ages of six
teen years and twenty years and six
months will be given an opportunity to
enlist in the Junior Reserves under condi
tons that will be made plain to them in
enrolment blanks which will be sent to
the schools throughout the State. Those
who enlist for this service will be per-
mitted to leave school for the purpose,
and certificate of honorable discharge
from the Junior Volunteers next fall
be accepted as an equivalent for school
attendance during that period.
"Boys below the age of sixteen years
will be urged where possible to find op-
portunites to do work on the farms neal
home, where they can be under the super
vision of their parents.
| "While it is not possible to mobilize
girls for actual service on the farm in the
same way that the Junior Volunteers
will be organized, it is believed that many
girls can find opportunities for useful
SERVICE either doing Homework ON farms
or later in the season in assisting at can
! ming and preserving vegetables and food
stuffs of various kinds. Local school
superintendent and school boards will
be urged to allow girls to substitute ser
vice of this kind under proper restrictions
for attendance in school.

had his supper alone and was sent
to bed somewhat earlier than usu-

turkey, in which he had not shar-

bordering over his hard fate, and
he decided to descend to the din
ing room and claim his rights.
But when father, beholding the
small figure at the door, demand
ed sternly, well, sir, what do

and he answered alphabetically.

PUSH COTTON IN

J. c. PrldmOre, AaronomIst.

Inquiry-"How would you fertilise
to beat the boil weevil to the cotton%
In growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions, several factors must be
given consideration. The land should
be well drained and well supplied with
vegetable matter. Good seed Of a va
riety adapted to the locality should
be chosen, and, of course, variety
that will mature its fruit quickly and
resist wilt should be planted. Fer
tilize literally, and properly cultivate.
On the heavier soils, such as the red
clays and clay loans, the use OF fer
tilizer carrying 10 per cent to IL per
cent phesphoric acid, 8 to per cent
nitrogen and a small per cent OF pot
ash, if it can be had, should be used.
Apply at the rate of $50 to 400 pounds
per acre. On lighter soils in which
nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are
all usually deficient, fertilizer carry
ing all three elements is desirable.
Use 10 to IL per cent phosphoric acid,
8 or per cent nitrogen and ! or 2
per cent potash, at the rate OF 800 to
400 pounds to the acre.
