It is rumored about Piscataquis
county that Henry Lambert, serving a
life sentence at the State prison at
Thomaston for the murder of the fam
lily of ]. Wesley Allen at Shirley, is to
apply for a pardon in the near future.
Allen was sent to prison about Is years
ago after long fight to save him from
prison, The crime for which Lambert
is imprisoned for life was one. If not
the most atrocious ever committed in
Piscataquis county and it is likely that
an effort to obtain a pardon will sbe
strongly protested against by the peo-
pie Of Piscataquis. Mr. and Mrs. Allen
and their daughter were murdered and
their bodies consumed in a fire which
destroyed their farm buildings located
on the main road leading from Monson

Government Authorities Backing 1t
The National Council of Defense has
sent out a bulletin on this very subject
urging farmers to order their fall Ter"
tilizers early so full carload shipments
might be made and the largest amount
of human food produced.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture through the States he
lations Service and Bureau of Soils;
and agricultural colleges and coun'
ty agents, are advising the same.
The railroads are very urgent aDou'
the matter. The fertilizer manufac'
turers are offering to help the dealers
and farmers as much as possible to
overcome the transportation difficult
ties.
Half Cars Can Be Saved
Railway authorities have statistics
to show that half Of the cars ord1nar1'

do the business, if only they are load
ed to their maximum capacity.

The world is hungry. To get more
rood is an alarming problem.
How can the farms produce more
food when labor is so scarce?
How can more acres be planted to
1oOd crops OF how can more work be
given the acres usually planted with
out more labor?
increase of labor is hardly to be
expected, but there is one important
means of help which the Southern
farmer has been utilizing in the
past and that is Fertilizer But this
TOO is beset with difficulties.
Fertilizer can increase production
without increasing labor except at
harvest time. The warning nations
appreciate this fact, and are giving
all the encouragement they can to the
use of fertilizers.
The railroads can't do the bust
ness expected of them unless every
freight car is loaded to full ca
pacity. To load them to full capacity
the fertilizer dealer must have enough
orders in to make up a full car load
before he can reasonably hope to get
a shipment. The earlier the carload
orders are placed the better chance

The scant oat crop should be hus-

Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only in full

 URGES PATRIOTISM
 IN BUSINESS WORLD
Don't Be a Business Slack er,' Is Advice of Presi- dent Flowers in Pres
 ent Situation

"The most stirring commercial trumpet blast since America's entry into the world war has been sounded by J. c. Flowers, president of the Pre- mier Motor corporation of Indianap- olis," said H. F. Merritt, the local dis tributer '"Fhe Premier president s words Don't be business slaekor.' promises. in the present emergency, to become a national slogan, surpassing in significance and power England's S now famous slogan, Business as Usual
 Right now the man who allows fear to paralyze the hand he writes checks with is just as dangerous to his country as the deliberate crank is just as vital that the business of this country maintain it's boise and momentum as it is vital for Sir Doug las Haig to drive his iron wedge deep- CT and deeper into the vitals of yon Hindenberg.
 The real barometers of Americas s business are the smokestacks to her factories-her dinner pai1s-and the mouths of her one hundred millions
 America has taken what amounts to a $7,000,0o0,00O order and compared with what is to come this is only a drop in the bucket. Seven billion dol Jars worth of shoes, canned goods. harness. motor trucks, automobiles ships, blankets, clothes, guns muni- tions and what-not must be manufac- tured and delivered. Who gets this S7,000,0O0,O00?
 If you are merchant, every cus- toner on your books will get a piece of 1t. If you are a manufacturer, you yourself will get a piece of it.
 There is going to be no non- productive labor or capital in this country. Everybody must produce which means that everybody must Dc on somebody's pay roll
 For at least three years America cannot avoid being the most pros porous nation the world ever saw. So look out for big business-tremen- dous and inevitable big business and get ready to take care of it when 1t comes"

GASOLINE PROBLEM INCREASES
 FOR LIGHTER CARS
Distributor of Grant Cars Points Out Growth of Sen timent in Favor of More
 Economical Autos

"The gasoline problem which has been growing steadily more acute for several years and which has been attacked by scores of scientists in an effort to in- crease the production, may be solved by the trend of the public toward lighter weight and more economical cars. ac- cording to George S. Waite, general sales manager of the Grant Motor Car corpor- ation of Cleveland" said J. A. Lindner of the Lindner Motor Sales corporation, local distributor of the Grant.
 Tt is apparent that the present sup ply of gasoline and oil would take care of twice as many cars as it now does, if each car used only half as much lie toward light weight, economical cars has the same effect on gasoline prices and on the available supply as would be obtained by very much increased pro- duction
 q look for decided change in public sentiment on this point. The efficiency idea is growing steadily The sentiment against waste of every kind makes steady headway. It might readily come to pass that the ownership of an un- necessarily heavy and inefficient car will be so generally frowned upon as to offset any possible prestige that owning such a car might otherwise have. l say this might happen, but economic foGces will undoubtedly intervene before hand.
 The reports of Grant Six dealers indi- cate a decided tendency on the part of owners of large cars to supplement them with cars like our own. It is surprising slso how many farmers or retired farm CTS own two cars, one for state pur- poses and another for chores as they say. The same is true in the cities
 "The light weight economical six is just coming into it's own in another field, that of business use. The next year or two will see thousands of Grants and similar cars used by salesmen and other business and professional men. Of course, economy is big reason for this but business men are demanding also car that is dgnified as well as merely economical
 "The light weight six is the car of the future beyond any question, and it will mean an important step in conservation of our petroleum supply and resources"
