Serving Where Most Needed.

The following letter was published
by the New York Times:
Cannot you bring your influence to bear
on this most serious question of taking
labor from the farms to serve in the ar
my? If farm labor is taken along present
lines Of the draft we can not harvest our
crops, and without food we cannot win
the war.
In the spring. the Government urgea
extensive planting and the farmer re
sponded TO the limit of his capacity.
Now the Government is taking the few
men left on the farms. latter the ammu-
milton factories have already drawn
heavily on this supply of lahoD. an
waste, discoura cement and great loss
face the farmer. And the country Is
threa tened by this shortsighted policy.
We have a neighbor. a widow, who has
given her three sons to her country. and
now the only man remaining on the farm
has been dra fled. AS it Is impossible u
procure extra labor. what is to become OF
her crops? This is only one incident,
there are thousands of similar ones.
We farmers are not sla ckers. but aC-
cording to Mr.. Wilson's message In the
spring a man must serve his tountry
where he is most needed. and men are
trenches. This Is a national issue. 1t is
folly to spend millions on ships to tran
sport food. and then blindly and foolish
ly cut off the food supply:
Warrentown. Va. Aug. 9. 1917.
Some members of draft boards
seem not to have heard of "serv-
ing the country where most needed.
nor have the young men of the
farms who have rushed to enlist
ment. apparently preferring to fight
Prussians to potato bugs. We VEN
ture the prediction that vastly
more will be wasted in this country
this year from lack of care of crops,
than will be grown in all the war
gardens. Many farmer finds himself
because a son has enlisted. We speak
from personal knowledge.

Women are good bargainers and keep

ties than men. let her do the trading

more valuable physical effort. and her
Homework can wait until after dark
when you can help her catch up-but
hoeing. haying and spraying cannot

We appeal, as does the Maine Anti
Suffragist, ITO the Farmer" to save
the work of one wherever possible.
And, while considering the possibili-
ties why not consider this one; If JUS
tice only prevailed and a man or his
wife could represent the other at the
polls a. they can and do in all other
ment for the wife to go to the polls on
Sept. 10 and cast two ballots, one for
her husband and one for herself. on
important constitutional or referen-
dunn questions in which both might be
interested. That would save the hus
lands time and increase the nations
food supply.
The farmer and his wife are of equal
footing in the grange. and The Maine
Anti Suffragist's appeal ITO the
Farmer" should have especial signifi-
canoe.
The farmer and his wife have equal
recognition in the church so that again
the anti appeal ITO the Farmer"
should set him to thinking about his
duty on Sept. 10.
The farmer and his wife have al
gays felt their standard of equality
iefore God and in earthly courts
where justice prevails, so that once
more the farmer should remember to
be fair to his partner when he goes to
the polls next month.

MoREY's AMBITION
Is Dan Mack to Aid
Partner in Attempt to
Be Governor
portland Express)

In this off-season, political gossip
has small chance to make itself heard,
fact due again probably largely to
the great interest In the war, and the
further fact that both Republicans
and Democrats are giving cordial and
Lnstintcd support to the Government
IN this crisis. Nevertheless some of
the men who are interested in politics
are talking about next years campaign
o little. For instance, they are saying
that former Congressman McGilli-
cuddy OF Lewiston is very doubtful
about being candidate next year It
is said that he has encouraged James
T. Perkins, of Boothbay Harbor. to
start a canvass for the nomination.
This move of Mr. McGilicuddys If
he really makes it, is said to be an
act of self -denial in order to promote
the interests of his law partner, Hon.
Frank A. Morey, who desires to be a
Democratic candidate for Governor in
the coming campaign. Along this
line, however. a policy has not been
settled upon by the Democrats Some
OF the leaders have urged former u. S.
Senator Charles. F. Johnson Of Wa
te-yille. 10 be q candidate and rumor

Mr. Johnson has finally said that if
the Democrats Of Maine desire him
to he their standard bearer, he will
accept the responsibility. Mr.. Morey

into account the ambitions of the
gentleman from Augusta who has
been trying. II must he now some a

An American from Germany.

There lives In Rock Island. ILL.,. an
American who was born in Germany
but having been nAturalized considers
himself q loyal citizen Of the United
States. His name is II. 6tephany,
and he formerly lived in Berlin. In q
letter to the Chicago Tribune he gives
the following as his Berlin address:
Formerly Berlin C. Breite Str. 3.
Reduction der vossischen Zeitung."
Chicago being I part of Germany.
many Germans write more or less
reasonable letters TO the papers In
that city. M. Stephany saw one In the
Tribune by certain @. F. Hummel.
who sneered at America. said the Ger
man citizens Of America are . part of
the German people and eulogized the
crown prince. Whereupon Mr. Ste
phany penned the following letter to
the Tribune:
The letter Of g. F. Hummel cannot
pass unchallenged. We who were
born in Germany and are now citizens
81 the n:d States It are n0 IT.. as cs he
man peepNis s,,,. And thank e asla for
Americans. for there Amt no such
animal" Either he is an American rS or
term Decentralization" Is today %
closely related to treason that 1t Is
well to fight shy OF those who desfg-
nate themselves by that hated appel
la.lon.
He speaks OF the Germans admira-
ton for the crown prince. Again
there amt no such thing I can
tell him from recent and personal OBJ
servation that the people in Germany
hate this fellow with the same iEtensi-
~ with which they deity the emrerer
He Is beyond question the best hated
man in all Germany.
Concerning the German press he is
also wrong. At the outbreak of the
war ! subscribed to a German page.
Die Westlche Post assuming that
thus l would get some real war news.
Alas. | had 70 stop the damnable trea-
son sheet within less than six months.
No such paper can come into my
house where l am raising my Ameri-
can children whom ] want to teach
love for the United States.
There is no room here for a German
newspaper. Hummels apology for 1t is
not based on sound reason nor Is IT
Corsonant with facts when he Spcaks
OF their truthfulness. There is about
as much truth to be founc in Ger
lished. as in a German diplomat or
German government official.
Let us hope that before long our gov
eminent will stop y-dallying ard
pat these traitors into concentrate
camps until the end of the war. which
erd would be materially fastened by
such action. especially if coupled with
the entire suppression Of the German
American press.
