An enormous fertile area of land be
tween the st. Francis and Little riv
ers. east of Big Lake, will be opened
up by this drainage project. In recent
months tremendous demands have
been experienced for lands in North

ton that little doubt is felt that the
drained lands will be cleared up and
converted into profitable farms as fast
as they become fit for cultivation

Is not the proper kind,
The proper sort of sophistry
To feed the youthful mind.
While other officers will advise
To labor night and day

To have little play.

Two dollars worth of toll
For ev'ry dollar paid TO you,
That sentiment | spoil.
Do all the work to do, I say,
But ask for more than praise;
Just do the work the proper way
And strike them for raise.
Some other authors say that we
Should never waste a jit
But save our money faithfully
And bank it, ev'ry bit,
So when we're sixty anyhow
Well have million yen.
I'd rather hire taxi now
Than own Packard then.
There are lot of fallacies

Who otherwise have done.

Have had a lot of fun.

MANAGING A VACATION.

AS the hot days arrive it u.s. usual time to consider
taking vacation. Of course, people, take all
the year round. But by Woodworking people
cation can be neither used or abused Indeed it
that many fail to get very much good from their
holidays They even take harm.
How else can one explain the frequency with which
vacation YETI" Of course this may refer only to fact
commonly known that after you have broken your reg
lar routine for WHILE it does take day two to get
back into harness. though you feeling better than
when you left home But the need of recovering" from
vacation may run somewhat deeper. 1t may that
you didn't think the situation careful enough before
you started.
Everyone ought to ask himself, before going
cation, "How tired am matter of fact?" Just
little mentally weary and needing change or tired clear
through mind fatigued, and body run down? If per-
has reached this second stage then he ought to lay
aside all intention of having strenuous vacation and give
himself all the rest he possibly get. Some physical
exercise each day may be all right but should be stopped
the moment the muscles grow tired.
On the other hand if you feeling fairly fresh when
you start it will probably do you good to enter with en-
thusasm into all possible plans for exercises and divers
ions even to force yourself little in pursuit of them
may be just the thing to start sluggish nerves into new
life.
If you cannot take vacation it is always well to
arrange some little changes in your usual routine Try
sleeping outdoors for while Go short trip or two
if only for the afternoon One Woodworking woman in
big city library was asked if she took vacation
"Why no. don't need to-" she promptly replied 81 just
change my work-thats all the vacation need!'

ties The railroad and bank people Of Aroostock county

effort to encourage wheat growing The intel
gent and systematic way in which they about it s
worth widespready attention and imitation.
They did not content themselves with appeals for more
food Instead they got right out among the farmers and
talked over the situation They found two great OBJ
saces to bigger wheat acreage, first lack of financial
ability to buy seed and fertilizers second lack Of
help
The farmer diskes to place mortgage on his farm
when he merely wants money to tide the busy sea-
1t is question how far the new farm loan banks
will meet this exgency What the farmer needs is short
term loans to temporary emergencies similar to the
temporary accommodation that a manufacturer gets
when he has the most money locked up in stocks The
Aroostook people arranged to let the farmers have these
temporary loans They also secured the country for help
with results
The trouble has been that hitherto the farmer has had
to wreste with these problems alone He brooded
them in his solitary way, but that didn't get him any,
where. He too busy to take time to form with his
neghbors cooperative machinery meet these problems
So he let things drift and raised the old crops in the
same old way.
In any farm section there be big increase in pro-
ducon if the business of the district will take hold
of in this practical way giving the farmer the
accommodation that other business get It will help

declared lack Of confidence in declarations

Herr Erzberger of the Center party has questioned

feder of the Center party is conveying message to
Germany which will chill and disappont the Pan

Herr Erzberger may be suppressed forced to qualify

stages of crisis, which may be followed by complete
breaking down of all outward show of confidence in vic
tory Once the German people lose heart they will be
unable to carry the load which has been placed upon
their backs by despotic military government While the
of Germans have faith in their leaders, they can

WORLDS FOOD AND THE POSITION

Authorities state that according to all Indications the
791719s cereal crops will show Improvement compared
with the preceding year but in view Of the heavy require
IN the field and the reduced reserves it is probable that
we shall face the necessity of finding substitute foods
for cereals especially wheat In this connection, it is
encouraging to note the generally favorable reports
to the production of vegetables fruits foodo and few
other foods, including corn
According to estimates this country will be called upon
to supply for the allies 96000O00 bushels of bread and
fodder grains out of the next harvest bushels
OF bread grains and 4l6000000 fodder grains Consider
Sng the exhaustion of reserves the rather npronis
ing coming wheat crop and the slight improvement in
the other cereals is evident that to fulfill this require
