were made with discretion, and new
members placed with good judgment.
Two cases may be cited to show the
care taken.
Mr.. Knox of Pennsylvania goes 70 the
committee on foreign relations. AS
Secretary of State in the Taft cabinet
he acquired large information about
foreign questions, and an intimate, ac-
quaintance with diplomatic usage and
procedure. He will strengthen both his
party and the country in his committee
place. He has six years at least before
him, and in that time foreign affairs
may take on an Importance to us never
before known. The world is on the eve
of being IN a measure made over; and
we shall have to adjust ourselves to the
new shape. whatever it may be- The
Pennsylvania senator therefore, will
have work to his practiced hand and
his liking, and the country will profit.
Mr.. Hale Of Maine, making his debut
in national life, goes to the committee
on naval affairs. He should enjoy the
work, and soon qualify for it. The
family name is associated with it. His
father when in the Senate served for
long on that committee, and when the
republicans We're in power. presided

staunch friend Of the navy, and one Of
the best legislative debaters Of his
day. The son will have the inspiration

Maine Gossip
Napoleon.

elizabeth Powers Merrill.)
Napoleon, do you look out
From where the mighty dead abide,
o, can you hear across the tide,
The trumpets, and the Captains shout
Do you arise, your pulses thriH
At war and sounds of battle still?
Or do you wonder why earth's sons
With dead and manned the trenches fill !?
Napoleon, do you behold
The Sons of France that fight today
AS brave as in that far away ,
When other voices Ger earth rolled!
They fight for France and for the World.
And DER their heads are wide unfurled
Banners Of gold-the f1eur de lis
Defiance to their foe is hurled.
Napoleon, do your brave men
Still stand behind the Men OF France
With bated breath and unseen lance!
AS full of loyalty as when
They followed where You, fearless, led!
The way marked by the feet that bled,
Loyal in spirit, unafraid,
As in the martial days long fled!
Napoleon, the fight today
Is Greater than in days of yore!
1t beats against the whole worlds shore
From Northern seas to Mandalay!
And French and English feet today
Tread foreign soil. fair fields that lay
Near to Jerusalem the Old
Again to hold the Turks at bay!
Napoleon, if the dead know
The Dreams of men more lately born,
The Hopes that come with each new
morn,
If they can hear earth's trumpets blow
Do they not gather in a band
On some eternal mount to stand,
And pray for Peace to quickly come
To One. to All! to Every Land.

Rufus Penney Of Old Town, an engi-
neer who has seen many years of SER
vice and is now running on the 4.3o
tP. NJ. train from Bangor to Old Town,
can look back to the days 40 years ago
when his services as a baseball player
were in great demand in that city.
Baseball was then just getting foot
hoold in Old Town. The Penney fam
lily went to Old Town in the early days
of the Bangor and Piscataquis Rail-
road. The father, the late Horace
Penney, was well known mechanic
and perhaps that was the reason his
three sons took to railroading the
whole or some part of their lives.

In case the United States becomes
involved in war it is certain that Port
land will be without boat service to
Boston, New York and points east, and
Bath steamboat service to Boston will
be cut off. Already the government
has had it's engineers make an in
spection of the boats of the Eastern
Steamship Company with the view of
taking them over. They are well
equipped for service along the coast
and could be put to many uses. AL
ready a number of the crew have been
placed on the reserve list. The gov
eminent may do one of two things,
either buy or lease. In case of the
latter they will pay a goodly rental
and will allow for the 10 per cent. de-
probation. Furthermore the govern
ment would return the boats at the
end of the war. While the change
would inconvenience the public the
company would not lose any money by
the government taking possession of
the ships.

Chicago, June 19.-In an ap-
peal to lumber dealers to help
farmers of the country to build
proper buildings and thus con-
serve foodstuffs by preventing

ing, the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association. through
E. A. Sterling, manager of the

made this declaration:
Increased grain and live stock
production is essential in the
present national emergency, and
this is the time to urge upon
farmers the erection of suitable
hog houses, and protection of
farm implements, as well as the
erection of granaries and other
farm structures on model lines.
This is the first step towards pre-
venting waste. the preservation
of a crop once harvested"

This is a very painful and dangerous

so as to be prepared for it. Mrs. Char

Washington, June 18.-Sena-

eminent regulation of the manu-

the President to appoint an
agency, under the jurisdiction
of the department of commerce,
to take over and operate during
the war, print paper mills in the
United States and to secure the
cooperation of the Canadian
government in the creation of a
similar comission. The bill was
introduced as a result of the fed
eraI trade commissions report
on its investigation of the paper
situation, which suggested such
an arrangement because of the
excessive prices charged by the
paper manufacturers.

TRY II! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0ME[
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
SUITS" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs so cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone Is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or coAsti-
pated bowels. It doesn't grippe or
cause Inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel.

Because of the scarcity of good
seed oats in the South. the De-
partment of Agriculture advises
farmers in the South who have
winter oats of good quality to
save them for seed rather than
feed them to stock. The crop of
oats in the South last winter was
very generally winter-killed. and
the u. S. specialist of the Agri-
cultural Department says that
the indications are that the sup
ply of good seed oats is going to
be very short. Farmers are
therefore urged to feed corn or
other grain, or to purchase north
ern grown spring oats for feed
ing, and to save up their good
winter oats for seeding.
On account of this scarcity of
winter oats of good quality those
who have them are quite sure to
profit by saving them for seed.
Farmers who do not know where
they can sell seed should COM
municate with their parish agent,
with the director of their State
experiment station, or r. A.
Oakley, chairman of committee
on seed stocks, Agricultural De-
partment, Washington, d. C..
The present indications are
that there will be a ready mar
ket for-all good seed in Louisi-
ana of the oat crop of last year.
