Children and the War.

Agnes Repplier says in the Woman's
Home Companion: 1--WE cannot afford
to have young people feel that they
have no part to play in the nations
heroic struggle, that they may go on
amusing themselves in the old careless
fashion, while men are dying for their
safety. The rites and ceremonies of
coming out may well be omitted, o.
at least simplifled. We have grown
to attach a tremendous but wholly
mythical Importance to a girls first
season, to regard it as something sa-
cred and inviolable, with which no
cataclysm should be permitted to in
terfere. and for which no sacrifice is
too great. 1t is not an uncommon
thing to hear the death of distin-
gujshed citizen regretted because 1t
fnterferes with the coming out Of an
18-year-old niece. If the war helps to
moderate this point of view 1t will
have done us one good turn. If girl
decides to take a hospital course in
stead of devoting her winter to gayety,
she chooses wisely. Her health will
be conserved, her heart and mind ex.
banded"

CONSERVING Niaoara's Power.

Anyone that has seen an ice gorge
on the Niagara river breaking up has
a vivid reminder Of titanic might let
loose. Millions of tons of solid ma
terial are then driven onward by the
cumulative impulse Of the slightly
impounded or checked waters. Plain
ly this is peril that would have to be
reckoned with by anyone building scat
tered power stations along the stretch
of the gorge. The plants would face
well nigh certain and complete de-
struction sooner or later. OF course
the cheapest way to benefit by the
river Is to use as much Of the water
at the Falls as the two governments
concerned will permit, and then, after
the diverted flow has returned to the
river below the cataract to employ the
full volume of the tidal prism. That Is
what is contemplated in the erection Of
dam at Fosters Flats.-Exchange

COLD STORAGE EGGS.

A New York law requires that "cold
storage" shall be stamped on every egg
that comes from the warehouses. It is
said that violators of this law are being
prosecuted and this leads us to disbelieve
the whole story. Two many of our laws
are mere scraps of paper. If Congress
would pass law that cold storage eggs
should be plainly stamped as such, and
the proper officers would enforce that
law first aid might be brought to the now
balpless consumer. We bought half a
qiszen eggs recently and paid four and a
half cents apiece for them. We bought
them as being strictly fresh eggs, but
three of them had been in storage till
thew were worthless. While not as hard
as billiard balls they could not be pull
verified without nutmeg crater. The
egg graft does not amount to much in one
way but in the aggregate it is too large
to be permitted. Cold storage properly
controlled would be great benefit to all
but as nov carried on it is curse to the
country.

Women in Trousers.

The question of whether women as
the result of the war should wear
trouserettes is being solved without
holding conventions and without the
aid of those who have heretofore made
the fashions, says the Omaha World
Herald. In Vancouver, B. c., there
was an enormous berry crop, cult
waited and wild, and there was only
enough labor in sight to gather one
third of it. Frantic with the thought
Of so much loss, the people appealed
to the government. The first PROPOSE
ton was to ship in two or three thou
sand Chinese coolies. The women up
there said that would result in two
or three thousand more to feed and
they made an appeal to the women
and girls of the province. In few
days more than 1000 were enlisted.
The briars and brambles Of the fruit
field would make short work Of skirts
and the women all donned trousers.
The army was drawn from all walks
of life.

RescriPts From Maine Law
Court.
Chemical Co. vs. Walton and Somerset
Co. Case.

The Law court has handed down re-
script in the Waldo county case of the
American Agricultural Chemical Com
pany versus Hattie A. Walton, giving
judgment for the defendant and return
of the property
The rescript, which was drawn by AS
sociate Justice Arno w. King of Ellis
worth, is as follows:
This is an action of replevin brought
by second mortgage for about 80 tons
of hay harvested in the year 1916 and
claimed by the defendant as lessee of the
farm under the first mortgage.
The plaintiff, having foreclosed its
second mortgage, took possession of the
farm in 1915, had the hay for that year
harvested for it's benefit, made an ar
rangement with the mortgagor, the hus-
band of the defendant, to have one-half
of the cultivated crops, and left the
mortgagor on the property as caretaker
for it. Held:
1. In this State the legal title and
right of possession of mortgaged real es-
tate, unless otherwise agreed, is in the
mortgage and so continue in him until a
full and complete performance of the
condition of the mortgage, or tender
equivalent thereto.
2. In the absence of a stipulation to
the contrary either expressed or implied,
the mortgage is entitled to take posses
sion of the mortgaged property at any
time either before or after the breach of
condition. But in such case if the mort
gagee is afterwards redeemed the mort
gagee must account for the clear rents
and profits.
3. The right of the first mortgage to
take possession of the mortgaged premi-
ses was not affected in any way by the
fact that the plaintiff as the second mort
gage took possession of the premises in
1915. The second mortgage had no more
right to hold possession of the premises
against the first mortgage than the
mortgagor would have had if the second
mortgage had not been given.
4. The first mortgage having the legal
title and right to the possession of the
farm could lease it, subject, of course, to
redemption; and the evidence shows that
he did lease it to the defendant on Jan.
IL, 1916, for one year at rental of $500.
5. In the opinion of the court the first |
mortgage asserted his right to the pos
session of the mortgaged premises in
January 1916, and from that time his ten
ant, the defendant, was in possession of
the property under her lease and she had
the right to the hay for 1916 which she
harvested, and which is the subject of
this action.

IN BOSTON.

Placards quoting the constitutional
definition of treason and warning the
people of Boston to be on the watch for
German spies and propagandists, have
been posted conspicuously throughout
the city by order of Brig. Gen Johnston,
commander of the Department of the
Northeast. Gen. Johnston in making
the announcement said:
"Watch for the acts of alien enemies.
Be suspicious. Do not trust any stranger
in your midst until you know that he is
perfectly all right. e"
Belfast should be suspicious of strang-
ers and watch them. The time is not far
distant when a home guard may be need
ed. The government cannot do every
thing that needs to be done to put stop
to German intrigue. The public must
do it's part and perhaps resort to extreme
measures.

TO AVOID FUTURE SHORTAGE.

The bumper crops of 1917 and oul
conservation will carry us comfortably
through this winter and till another CROP
is harvested. But will the food situation
when we face the next winter be as fav-
orable as it is now? If the war continues
till the harvest of 1918, the winter follow
ing may test the American people as they
nave not been tested since the terrible
days of the Revolution. Our people re-
sponded nobly last spring when the call
went forth for increased paintings and
sowings Everywhere the farmers strove
to increase their acreage of cultivated
crops thousands of people unaccustomed
70 gardening planted and titled little
plot of land, more canned goods were put
up in our households than ever before, and
the Boys and Girls Clubs did their part
in a wonderfully effective way Next
spring the call will again be made for the
raising and conservation of food and the
call will be louder and more insistent
To this call there will be a spontaneous
and general response on the part of our
farmers, our housewives and our gard
eners. Nowhere on earth can be found
more loyal and patriotic people than those
who live in our modest homes. In these
are to be found the real heart of the
Nation, which beats true in its devotion.
NJ hog 0rf ont
dut y presented to it which must be per
formed if success is to crown the labors
of the farmer, and this duty applies not
only to next year but to the years to fol-
low. Crops cannot be abundantly grown
unless fertilizers can be obtained, espec-
tally potash and the nitrates. This coun
try has depended upon Germany for it's
potash of which about 23O, 900 tons are
needed annually. Before the war, potash
of the grade used in commercial fertilizers
cost little less than $40 ton. The
price is now, according to recent quota
tons, S475 a ton, which makes the cost
of phosphate almost prohibitive to many
of our farmers.
If we are to feed ourselves and half of
Europe, haste must be made to develop
the ample potash resources of the United
States. There is an abundance of potash
beneath the surface of large lake in
California. The government owns this
lake and has provided by legislation that
the deposits may be operated by the
United States, or leased to be operated
by Others 1t is said that plants sufficient
to produce the potash needed for the
whole country can be established for
So, 200, 600, but nothing of Importance
Is being done. In order to develop a
supply of nitrates an appropriation of
$40, 900, 600 has been made but very little
as yet has been accomplished. The
country has right to demand that the
work of producing potash and nitrates
shall be vigorously pushed. Soldiers,
ships, engines of war and munitions
will avail little if food be lacking.

HAS PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Melville Robbins, electrician for the
Penobscot Bay Electric Co., met with
painful accident at the Stockton ship
yards Friday morning. Mr.. Robbins was
cutting branches from tree which had
fouled the electric wires, when his axe
slipped and going through his heavy boot
cut deep cash in his foot. A physician
took several stitches in the wound.

by the executive board of the Massachu-

Christmas tree harvesting has COM
menced in many places in Eastern Maine.
Christmas trees will be much higher in
price this year, so the contractors say,
as they get higher prices but at the same
time claim to be making no more margin
than usual, as help to cut the trees is
hard to get.
The first year of the Eastern Maine
fair under the new management, was a
financial success, coming out $4,000 ahead,
although two days were rainy. About
$12, 900 was expended in permanent i'm
provements. Next year more are to be
made, including new baseball diamond,
re-arrangement of the Midway and sew
eral buildings.
An event in Bangor of much interest
to art lovers of the city was an exhibi-

of the kind ever made here, and arranged
by the Bangor Art Society.

NOT BEYOND ENEMY'S REACH
There Is Scarcely Spot in a Beliiger-
ent Country That Cannot BE- Az.
tackled With Modern Equipment,

By far the greatest of revolutions
was the industrial revolution-that
broad change in human society which
attended the supplanting of home pro-
duction by machine factory produc-
ton. Take any conspicuous detail in
which the nineteenth century differs
from the eighteenth, and you will prob
ably find that it runs back finally to
a mechanical invention. Throughout
two-thirds of the century the condition
of society was determined much more
by the state of the mechanical arts
than by politicians, warriors or teach
erS. -
A distinguished economist now
urges that this same factor-the state
of the mechanical artists pushing
war off the stage, and of itself neces-
states new relationship among lead
ing nations by which peace may be as
sured.
Mechanical science has already vast
ly changed and will soon completely
change the conditions of warfare In
ventions make war an unlimited liabil-
ity In new way, declares the Satur-
day Evening Post. Probably within
five years it will be as practicable for
an enemy to attack Chicago and Den
yer, or Berlin and Munich, as New
York or Bremen. Already English
men have been killed on their own
soil by an invading enemy for the
first time since the Stuarts, and
German submarine has visited Ameri-
can ports. Already scarcely any spot
In belligerent country is beyond an.
enemy's reach. If there should be
war ten years hence between a pow
er as ready as Germany was in 1911,
and one as unready as the United
States then was, the former could
wreak incalculable destruction upon
the latter within a month; no spot in
it would be safe, and the cost of ade-
quate preparation for war by competi-
tive arming would lay an intolerable
burden on the world.
The cost of playing the old game
puts 1t out of the question. Develop
ment of the mechanical arts vetoes It,
Only few people in control of dy-
nastic states and their encourage have
any real motive for regretting the veto.

Advice BY Food Administrator.
Farmers Asked TO Gull Frosted Potatoes.

Farmers Asked TO Gull Frosted Potatoes
The United States Food Administration
appeals to the farmers of the country to
sort potatoes and remove frosted ones
before shipping, as few of these in a
sack may ruin the entire sackful during
shipment. Potatoes, labor, freight
charges and car space will be saved. The
frosted potatoes may be used for stock
feed
Potato growers are urged to market
their potatoes throughout the year. An
even flow of the crops through the chan
nels of trade will aid in stabilizing the
market and preventing waste.
Order Fertilizers Now.
Farmers who order fertilizers now and
haul them to the farm as soon as the cars
arrive, will help to improve the railroad
service next year, and will protect them
selves against failure to receive fertiliz-
ers in time for spring use, according to
the United States Food Administration.
The National Fertilizer Association
urges that freight cars be loaded with at
least fifty tons instead of the average
car lot shipment of twenty-five tons.
Several farmers in a community can save
car space and labor for war uses by COM
bining their orders to make a full car
load
Save Food by Destroying Rats.
On many farms rats and mice waste
grain which, if sold, would more than
pay the owners taxes
In many pantries rats and mice waste
food enough to offset half the patriotic
housekeeper's efforts at food conserva-
ton.
The common brown female rat breeds
at the age of four or five months produce
ing from four to ten filters year with
an average of ten young at time.
Rats carry and distribute the germs of
tuberculosis, septic pneumonia, epidemic
iaundice, measles, diphtheria, typhoid,
scarlet and other fevers.
The Bureau of Biological Survey, U.
S. Department of Agriculture, is prepar-
ed to give instructions for destroying
rats and mice and protecting food stuffs
from them.
The direct loss from rats is estimated
at s2OO,OOO,OOO year Help to cut it
down this year.
