very independent and absolutely ugly

and just as liable to sink a friend as an
enemy The fellow measured nearly
three feet from his ugly nose to the tip
of his tail. which latter was a foot in
length and much resembled a squat ali
gator His back was decorated with
many characters and initials Of former
hosts, while his shell was pierced with
three different holes where he had been
held in captivity. He will be kept for
few days on exhibition and then released
to again take up his wanderings.

Mobilization Of Farm Bows

Another interesting incident of the
afternoon was the presence of Jeffer-
son c. Smith, the prime mover and
manager Of the Maine mobilization of
boys for farm work, coming at the
request of Governor Milliken to tell
the Council Of his trip to Washington,
where he met men from all over the
country. in consultation on the PROPOSE
ton of making the movement nation
wide.
Mr.. Smith said that great interest
was shown by the distinguished gath
ering from all over the states and
finally. after hearing what Maine had
done in the matter. the success attain
ed in training and fitting boys for
work on the farm, the national gather
ing rescinded all its previous action in
starting and simply adopted the Maine
plan-a tribute worth having by the
men who planned and carried through
the scheme here, in spite of doubters
and directors.
He was also given assurance that if
Congress did not at once take hold of
the matter and take definite steps
toward making it a national plan, it
would be laid before President Wilson
by one of the most able and influen-
tial of the committee. All We're en-
Unused over the reports Mr.. Smith car
ried to Washington from Maine.
Mr.. Smith also told the. council that
not a boy remained at the training
camp at Lake Cobbossee when he left
there Tuesday afternoon. all having
been sent to the farms. with the excep
ton Of about dozen and so great was
the demand for more boys that he had
sent those lads back to their homes to
do recruiting duty and gather in more
boys for the training camp.
Mr.. Smith said that some over 500
boys had been received at the camp
and with a small percentage sent
home for various reasons, between 400
and 500 were now assisting the farmers
Of Maine. The demand was for many
times that number.
