Control of Food.

The one most important fact that is
changing current conditions more than
anything that has occurred since the war
started is that the United States is now
in position to practically control, in con-
nection with the South American coun-
tries, more than fifty per cent. of the
worlds food products, and that, with the
Allied countries which will cooperate in
this great movement, the United States
will control more than three-fifths of the
ocean-carrying trade, if we include the
navies of the Allies, which really should
be included when they act as conveys and
keep the sea lanes clear from U-boat at
tacks.
While the food output for the United
States this year is not at all phenomenal
and the experts Of the Government are
not claiming bumper crop, - there is
enough and to share, when parcelled and
apportioned under the direct supervision
of the new Export Bureau, for the pur-
poses of making the present embargo a
most effective weapon in the hands of the
United States.

ZEBRA CATERPILLARS,

With the interest of this season focused
especially upon food, garden pests play
even more significant role than usual
Among those already greedily at work
in Maine are the zebra caterpillars, a
species with SO broad and eager an appe-
tite that it has been reported to include
in its dietary the following plants:
Cauliflower, yellow dock, burdock, rasp-
berry, mignonette, cabbage, clover, aster,
snowberry, lambs quarters smartweed,
corn, pea, bean, turnip, honeysuckle, as
paragus, beet, celery, carrot, potato, spin
ach, buckwheat, currant, cranberry, ap-
pie, orange, willow, sweet pea, oats, straw
berry, wungel wurzel, tamarix, hydran-
gea, lily, gladioli, rose, mustard
AS may be guessed, a caterpillar with a
bill Of fare as long as that can do consid-
cradle damage during those periods when
it is abundant; and although we have
seen little of this insect in the State for
about thirteen years until the present
season, complaints from various quarters
would indicate that it is prepared to make
up for lost time unless thwarted by the
gardener who, having planted the crop,
may wish to harvest the vegetables him
self
The culprit may be recognized by the
yellow and black stripes extending length
wise it's body and by the reddish-brown
head The sooner we become acquainted
with this denizen of our gardens the bet
ter, for it is creature with two broods a
season and we may expect another later
on unless the generation already at work
is brought under control by birds, disease,
insects, parasites or man.
The young larvae are found in colonies
on their food plants. AS they grow Older
they scatter and are then found singly,
here and there. When disturbed, they
are likely to curl up and drop. When full
fed, the caterpillars pupate in slight CO.
ground and in August, the adult insects
emerge. These are moths with a grayish
body, purplish brown fore wings, and pale
hind wings. The moths lay eggs from
which the young zebra caterpillars hatch.
The second brood passes the winter in the
pupal stage, the moths emerging in the
spring to lay eggs for the first brood OF
that season.
CONTROL. The gregarious habits OF
the young caterpillars render their des-
truction by hand picking, comparatively
easy. They can be killed by spraying
with paris green or arsenate of lead. In
cases where it is undesirable to poison
their food plants, the caterpillar can be
controlled by the use of hellebore or kero-
sene emulsion. CHAS. D. WOODS,

Sweden Repents.

STOCKHOLM, Aug 2. New regulations,
prohibiting exports, were issued by the
Swedish government today. They cover
long list of various articles, the most
important being provisions.
The regulations prohibit the exporta-
ton of nearly all sorts of machinery,
nautical and surgical instruments, musi-
cal wind instruments and windowpanes,
doorwanes and picture frames, (which
contain any other basic metal than iron. !"
Other articles included in the list are
pine cones, rag pulp, wooden or fiber
shoe soles, telephone and telegraph ap-
paratus, and ''electrotechnic special ap-
paratus not specially designated" and
railroad and street railway coaches.
The purpose of the new prohibition
evidently is to prevent brass, lead, cop
per, nickel and other base metals leav-
ing the country.

plications for admittance to these schools
were daily increasing and that the num-

Two million pairs of shoes will be sup

response to a request of the Russian am

the advisory committee of the council of

on leather for the entire amount of the
contract, sent out requests for bids to 100

as possible to Archangel before the close

for shoes placed in this country by the

WHY?

Why is it that one man succeeds in
business and his neighbor barely gets
along or fails?
Why is it that one clerk is advanced
and another stays where he was?
Why is it that one newsboy sells out
his papers and another is always asking
credit for returns?
They have the same chance-they sell
the same goods-but one got right down
to brass tacks and studied his problem
from the foundation up. He used his
head, developed his personality and is
selling real service.
The public nowadays is not satisfied
with simply getting what they call for.
In addition they must have service,
pleasant, courteous service by one thor
oughly versed in his business and who
can offer helpful suggestions.

VEHICLES MUST CARRY LIGHTS
Psrsens without Them are Liable 10
Arrest and Fine and Cannot Claim
Damages, According to Former
Chief Justice WhItehouse.

Persons driving a team on public
way without light are subject to
arrest and fine, according to a state
ment made today to the Maine Auto
mobile Association by Hon. William
Penn Whitehouse. Of Augusta. form
er Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court Of Maine.
Furthermore Judge Whitehouse de-
clares that should such a team be
damaged by another vehicle which
had complied with the laws its owner
would not be able to collect damages.
The two questions which the Maine
Automobile Association asked former
Chief Justice Whitehouse to give his
opinion on are as follows:
"1st. II party drives team on
public way, unless team is designed
for the transportation of hay, straw.
wood. lumber, stone, machinery. or
other heavy freight, without having
attached to it light or lights so dis
played as to be visible from the front
and rear, from one hour after sunset
to one hour before sunrise, is he sub
ject to arrest and fine?
"2nd. If team so driven on our
country roads without lights, should
be run into and damaged by another
vehicle which had complied with the
laws Of the state, would it not be DIFF
f1cult for the party driving the team
without lights to collect damages?"
His reply to the two questions are
as follows:
with respect to the first question
propounded by you, l will state that
section four of Chap. 272 Of the Pub
lie Laws Of 1917. expressly provides
that whoever fails to comply with
any of the provisions of this act rel
alive to the use of lights shall be liza
BILE to a penalty not exceeding five
dollars and Sect. Of Chap. 1875 R.
s. provides that every sheriff, deputy
sheriff, constable or police officer
shall arrest and detain persons found
violating any of the laws of the state
until a legal warrant can be OBJ
tained'
II accordingly answer your first
question in the affirmative.
"1n regard to your second question
l will state that person driving 4
team without lights in violation Of
the statute, is presumptively guilty OF
negligence, and in case of collision
with another vehicle which is provid-
ed with light in compliance with the
statute, he could not recover any
damages sustained by him on account
of such collision, without proof that
the absence of y light on his owr
vehicle was not one of the proxi
mate causes of the collision; and ht
would be liable for the damages sus
tanned by the owner of such othel
vehicle, unless, he could prove tha
his own violation Of the statute die
not contribute as a proximate cause
OF the injury.
II accordingly answer your secont
question in the Affirmative"

County has announced that from
