Didn't See Nary One.

(Bangor Special, New York World)
 When Capt. William Ward of Rockland Me, master of the schooner Frontenac, set foot ashore at an At lantic port in the United States the other day, after a highly profita ble voyage to Italy, the first thing the managing owner said to him was:
 You did well that trip, Billy Now you're chartered for Havre, Bor- deaux or h.. Want to go?"
 Go? sure!" replied the Yankee skipper. "Oil, I suppose I'd hate to go to that last port you named with such a cargo, though"
 Like all the Down Easter master mariners, Captain Ward is very mat ter-of-fact and entirely unemotional. and there is no romance whatever in his sturdy soul, nor the least tinge of the melodramatic.
 See any U-boats?" some one asked.
 Mary a one. And, say! Let me tell you something. If any captain of sailing vessel tells you that he saw a German submarine and came back in his own vessel to tell about it, he's kidding you. Sailing craft that meet German submarines don't come back.'

LECTURES ON THE WEST.
Rev. Warren F. Cook to Describe
 Recent Travel Tour.

Have you ever seen the Grand Can yon over the ears of mule? Have you ever looked into the Back Door of Hell?" Have you ever held rain- bow in your hand? Warren F. Cook, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, has done all of these, as well as other interesting feats. He recently re- turned from trip through the west and has prepared a series of about four lectures, which he will deliver at the church Sunday evenings at 7:30 o'clock beginning next Sunday. Each address will be illustrated with beau tiful slides.
 Among the subjects on which Rev. Mr. Cook will speak are: Seeing the the Grand Canyon over the ears of mule. Watching an old Hopi In dian war dance. Holding a rainbow in your hand. Crossing the Painted Desert Through Yellowstone Park by auto and camp. Watching "Old Faith ful'' by searchlight. Looking into the Back Door of He'll" From the Garden of the Gods" into the Devils Workshop" Climbing Pikes Peak by Moonlight. On the "Top-o- the World" Visiting Petrifed Forest. Picking your own oranges. Fishing in the Pacific. Through an Old Spanish Mission. Dear old Del Monte Quaint old Monterey. Camp ing in a Giant Tree.

Potato Prices. (Ansonia Sentinel).

It is just as well that the food ad- ministrator of Connecticut has denied the report that he foretold famine ing the coming winter. There is no real reason why any such prices should prevail as were current during last year except the greed of speoula- tors who have cornered the crop or the thriftiness of the farmer, who is holding back his supplies In the hope that the market will reach the 8 figure before he has to unload.
 There are plenty of potatoes in New England, sufficient to enable the nor- nal demand to be met at a figure not higher than $2 many weeks later than today. We cannot expect cheap pota- toes this year or perhaps for years to come but 1t is possible to make specu- lation in this necessity a precarious and unprofitable occupation during the next six months.
 If food control means anything, 1t means that the potatoes that the state has raised shall be put upon the market in reasonable way, best suit ed to meet the demand, at reasonable prices. It does not mean or should not mean that an artificial scarcity Is to be created by hoarding the visible crop in this vicinity until necessity oompels the consumer to pay top prices in order to keep the table SUD- piled. There Is work for the food control committee in Connecticut and considerable part of that work has to do with the potato situation. While the crop has not been of bumper pro- portions, 1t is at least average and to 1t must be added the supplies that have been raised by the home gar- deners of the state. This is consid- erable amount and should cut down the demand made upon the large pro- ducers It is to be hoped that we shall not see in Connecticut, after all of the efforts of the last summer. the famine prices that prevailed in the spring and which caused real suffer- ing in many homes.

Stevenson Planned Much Work.

Considering Robert Louis Steven sons short life, he wrote a great deal, but he planned still more A writer who has been delving into his record offers what he says is hitherto un- published list of two novels and tales,' which Stevenson meant to write. but never did. It runs thus: The Indian Mutiny, Saranac Lake, 1888; Cannanmills, probably Saranac Lake, 1888; The Rising Sun, at Sea (Pacifc). 1890; Dyce of Ythan, sa- moa, 1892; The Shovels of Netwon French Samoa, 1892: The Beach, Comberss Samoa, 1893; Sophia Scar let, Samoa, 1893; The Owl, Samoa, 1893; Death in the Pot, Samoa, 1893; The Sleeper Awakened, Samoa, 1893.
 Stevenson planned other work not in the line of fiction. They were: A Biography of the Duke of Wellington, Biography of Hazlitt, a history of the Indian Mutiny, an English Gram mar, to be illustrated from the Eng fish Classics. He also began and, for one reason or another, never complet- ed these stories:
 The Great North Road, Bourne mouth. 1884: The Young Chevalier, 1893: Heathercat, Samoa, 1893: The Go- Between. Samoa. 1893: St. Ives. Samoa, 1894; Weir of Hermiston, Sa- moa, 1894.

dition is dangerous. Sometimes the crystallized state is reached sooner than expected. The gun then cracks or bursts. On the Michigan fifteen Feet of 12" gun broke off and fell on deok. On the next load the gun captain having opened the breech to report bore clear shouted "there ain't no bore" Fortunately no one was killed.
 The charge of 14" gun Is 385 pounds of smokeless powder put up m four sllk-hnen bags. The back end of each bag is painted red and con- ta1ns about six ounces of black DOW der called the ignition charge A brass primer, similar to a rifle car tridee except 1t, has no bullet, ignites easily the fired black powder which in turn sets fire to the smokeless powder, Contrary to popular belief there Is no real explosion but 8 progressive burn ing of enormous rapidity. Vast VOL umes of gas at high temperatures and pressures are formed forcing out the projectile.
 A IA" shell weighs 1,40O pounds, is five feet long and contains g. burst ing charge whose formula is a gov ernment secret. Twelve strong men lift one with difficulty. Yet from the gun it can sink a battleship twelve miles away. It travels 2,6OO feet in ono second, or a mile every two sec- onds. On striking it expends an energy of 65.6S7 foot tons, or enough to trans- port a two-ton load twice to the height OF Mt. Everest
 Counting depreciation it costs about $6,800 to fire a IA" gun. Liberty Is cheap at that.

same order there was also fixed the amount which may be paid as com- mission to jobbers. On the first day of October, this month, the govern ment stretched its hand toward the retail dealer and pointed warning the provisions of an act of Congress ito provide further for the national security and defense by encouraging the production, conserving the supply and controlling the distribution of food products and fuel" the Fuel ad- ministrator set down the limit of profit to be allowed retail dealers This limit is based on the margin of profit in 1915. Any retailer who demands and receives Q higher price than the law now allows may be subjected to fine and imprisonment.
 So much for the operators and the retail dealers of coal. Just when the government put the curb bit on their mouths the miners come out of thelr holes looking for more trouble. Mine workers in the fields of Missouri Kan sas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, to the number of 35,000, are scheduled to go out on strike tomorrow morning. AS the result of the strike already in force in Illinois, one-third of the mines in that state are shut down. There are 324 mines in Illinois, the normal output of which has been 16.OOO,OOO tons a year. With 1O6 idle, this pro- duction is shortened by about SO,00O tons day, or 24,000,000 tons a year. In addition to this loss of production some 5000 miners are out on strike in Indiana. Twenty-Five mines are shut down there. With this as the sit uation a coal famine faces some of the middle western cities, particularly Chicagos Ostensibly, something has got to be done and as Dr. Garfield, the Federal Fuel Administrator ad- mits that "The government can do many things in time of war; there is the possibility that the one big thing might be done, namely, government operation of coal mines. Neither the coal operators nor the retail dealers, nor the miners can be left to run things as they see fit. The consumers, prey to all hands, have suffered long enough and must be protected.

THE RIGHT WAY.

Some people have not bought a second Liberty bond because.-
 They feel they have done about all they can do to help the country in it's hour of need;
 They are afraid that the cost of living will go even higher during the coming Winter, and they want to have their hands on sufficient lucre to car ny them through;
 They have been taxed for this and that and are certain that more taxes are in the air;
 They do not like to make sacrifice, because sacrifices are not the most comfortable things in the world; They love to live lives of extrava gance and show, for a life of ease is more enjoyable any day than life of simple indulgence.
 Those are the objections
 The other side of the case could be future and the sight there of Germany conquering her enemies.
 Then some people might be sorry they did. not buy second Liberty bond because,-
 They would then be subservient to the.. will of the military masters of Germany;
 They would be forced to pay heavy indemnities to the Imperial German Government;
 They would have to give up all the money they now have to the hungry hands of a conquering foe;
 They would be forced to walk the chalk hne,' to bow before the poten- tates and wearers of Prussian purple;
 They would be treated not as in habitants of a free country but as serfs and subjects of a royal master Discounting the inconveniences that might go with the purchase of a Liberty bond, it is easly seen that the better way is the right way, to back up our soldiers in the field with good American dollars, dollars loaned not given outright, to the most liberal government on the face of the earth

The Bread Problem.
Philadelphia Inuuirer)

IllIdu0lpllld lnQu1r6r)
 MT. Hoover is finding himself con- fronted by many difficulties. He can not handle wheat until it gets into the market, and although he threatens to commander all surplus supplies of the farmer, that is certain to be an expensive operation. Just now he is after the millers, a few of whom have come under his ban as warning to others. It has long been the conten- tion of the wheat growing farmers that there is a milling trust which has kept down the price of wheat and unduly increased that of flour. The farmers are now protected and 1t is up to MT. Hoover to make the millers come to terms.
 One of the leading economists of the country Is of the opinion that one of the great tragedies of our recent history is the disappearance of the small grist mill which used to supply the needs of almost every community. It did good service in many ways-did not eliminate some of the best por- tions of wheat, furnished Graham bread if desired, left bran in the neigh bofhoOd where it was needed, etc. The country mill has departed along with McGuffey's Readers and the Barlow knife.
 If MT. Hoover can give Us cheaper flour the bakers will do the rest, and if the war lasts long enough most of us will learn that bread made from "patent" flour is not so good as whole wheat bread.

NEIGHBORHOOD CLUBS.

Everyone appreciates the noble ef- lorts of the Red Cross in providing comforts for New Britain men in the lrmy and navy; but it is possible the organization has overlooked a field Tor increased success,-neighborho I,lubs So far as knitting and sewing lure concerned, we will back the wom- len of New Britain against the state. They know how to knit and sew and They are anxious to do their bit Many of them, however, are not anx- Ious to go to Red Cross headquarters lso exercise their skill because they s,re not acquainted with those in s.harge or those who attend on this abor of love. It might be said that such objections are silly. Maybe they slre; but they exist just the same. With the neighborhood club idea, hundreds of hands not at present en- gaged in sewing and knitting would become active. Representatives of he Red Cross could instruct these
 
 gsheir number. The Red Cross could continue to be the clearing house or headquarters for the work and the .lubs would merely be branches. This dea opens to view field too broad 10 be neglected. It is worth inves- lhgating. The clubs should be or yanized. And when organized, as we trust they shall be, there will tome bigger and broader civic spirit. siCommunion of this kind is good for | he soul. Petty dislikes now existing will be wiped away. Laboring for yhe same end, working side by side $ Tor the same lofty principles, women will be brought together in a new mode of life with the establishment of aeighborhood clubs. Let us have .hem.

WHEN UNCLE SAM STEPS IN.

Operators, dealers, and even the miners of coal themselves seem to have determined to throw the entire business on the hands of the Federal government. So much so that the gov- srnment may give them their wish. Through the Federal Fuel Admins !rator, notice has Aeen served on coal operators and miners that unless or Ter is brought out of chaos the gov srnment will take drastic action,- which means, in a word, that Uncle Sam will take over and operate the mines so the coal supply may keep pace with the nations demands
 Governm regulation is an un- pleasant thought to the coal barons. Tn the past they have ruled with T nigh hand, with mailed fist.

Limits of Embargo.
(Rridgeport Farmer)

Those who advocate suspendlng shjnments of coal destined for public service corporations operated by Ger man citizens, in South American states. do not give, it would seem at this distance, wise advice. The South American republics are all of them disposed to favor the plans and the attitude of this country. The most powerful of them have severed d1plo- matic relations with Germany.
 The means of internal transporta- tion in those countries, even when owned bv Germans are a convenience to the people, To deprive South America of local transport, by cutting off coal, would surely create ill-feel- ing, and raise sentiments adverse to cooperative effort.
 Suppose that Great Britain could stop or cripple the operations of the trolley lines in Bridgeport, by shutting off coal. Would not this act create a feeling of irritation against Great Britain? This could not happen. America controls it's own coal supply. and Great Britain would not shut off the. coal supply if it had the power. But the illustration brings home the condition that would exist in South America. if coal shipments were cut off by the United States merely be- cause the owners of a trolley service, or of a railroad are German citizens. The Farmer feels quite certain that such a limitation will be no part of the embargo
 The embargo will, extend only to what can be used, or that likely to be used, to give aid to the Central Pow CTS
