Next Cornell Meetin

The impression seems to have been
spread in some sections that the
Maine Coast Artillery was full to the
limit and that TO more recruits were
needed or would be accepted, which is
not the fact. Some Of the companies
do have full ranks, but the Lewiston
and Brunswick companies have room
for men and any one DESTROYS of en-
tering that branch of the service
should make immediate application.
The impression of full ranks un-
doubtedly arose from the fact that the
Coast Artillery branch of the regular
army Is full and no more recruits are
at present being taken and it is pos
sible that some of the regular army
recruiting officers, in their zeal to Sc
cure men for their own branches OF
the army, may have allowed the i'm
preston to be gained from their con-
versation that our National Guard
Coast Artillery was also full.
The authoritative statement was
made Saturday morning by Major

ty Of opportunity for enlistment in

No Easy Job in Distrib-
uting the Maine Seed Wheat

But few people fully understand and
appreciate the arduous duties imposed
upon the executive secretary of the
State committee Of public safety and
his office force. The distributing of
seven carloads of wheat throughout
the entire State in lots varying from
a quart to a few hundred bushels is
certainly a trying ordeal, especially
when the arrival Of the cars Of wheat
is uncertain and each day brings new
difficulties in regard to the distribu-
zion. The arranging for the distribu
ton Of o5 carloads Of fertilizer is a
source of more anxiety. especially
when but five cars have been already
started on the road and the office is
deluged with hourly inquiries of
where is my wheat?" and when do
you expect my fertilizer?'
But John +. Bunker of Bar Harbor.
the executive secretary of the state
committee on public safety, is fully
equal to the task and preserves his Sc
renity Of temper, meanwhile doing all
he can to adjust the difficulties of the
farmers Of the state in regard to seed
and fertilizer.

tee at the Blaine mansion continue TO
disseminate information in regard to

ed TO those farmers who have made
application for it. Another carload is
expected to arrive by express Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning. A guam

II do not believe that the advocates OF
national prohibition will press congress
to pass such a measure at TINS special
session, but of course they VIII ask ioi
the passage of the act as war measure
LAS a matter of fact, it is notlceaple
how great is the change in the haolts
of the people in the last few years as re-
CARDS the drinking Of liquor. You see oue
little liquor drinking In the notes
throughout the country as compared
with, say, five years ago. and most OF the
railroad companies have eliminated the
buffets where liquor can be purchaseo.
There are two important reasons why
this country should have prohibition dur
ing the present conflict with Germany.
One of course is that the soldier or sailor
should be in war with clear mead anu
a clear mind and the other reason is that
the national prohibition makes 1of the
efficiency of the fighting forces. Inc man
who works on the farm or the man VINO
works in the mill is just as important
factor in this war as the man who shoui-
ders gun in the field
Those on the inside at Washington
say that this country will be obliged to
feed the allies in this war what vast
difference it would make if the products
of the 5000 farmers in the United states
we're turned into food instead of liquor
And the 100000 men who are employed IN

make a pretty good army or could be
used to raising crops or be made useful
in other lines OF endeayor.

Il am positive that national pro-
hibtion will come within hve
years" declared Governor Carl f.
Milliken of Maine, in discussing the
matter today. Il am certainly sur
prised after several trips to Wash
ington and by coming in contact
with men from all sections of the
country at the increasing sentiment
against the liquor traffic.
Governor Milliken further said that ne
believed that a majority Of the COVER
nors Of the states favored prohibition as
a war measure, although several of them
do not think that it would be perhaps
the wisest thing for the country to have
continued national prohibition.
Il do not draw any line between beer
and ale and whiskey and the other high
proof liquors." continued Governor Milli-
ken. The milder forms of liquor only
lead to something stronger"
Several bills are pending in Congress
looking to prohibition during the war.
One suggestion is that bill be passed
directly by Congress prohibiting the
manufacturer of liquor from grain or
molasses which could be used as food
stuffs and another suggestion is that
the government take the stock of liquors
on hand in the country and use it in the
arts and in the manufacture of munitions.
Authority might be given to the presi-
dent by Congress to prohibit the manu-
facture of alcohol from grain and other
food stuffs.
"A tax might be placed on the manu-
facture of liquors from food stuffs so
high that it would be impossible to manu-
facture this liquor at a profit.
"Coneress might also PASS an act for
