Oh What a Mistake!

Recently an Oxford county couple in
vited another couple who were neighbors
and friends to take supper with them,
one of the special objects being to sam
pie some bran bread on which the hostess
somewhat prided herself, reports the Ok
ford Democrat.
The bread came on in the form of de-
liciously Drowned hot rolls, and the but
ter was promptly applied. But after TAX
ing a bite, Mr.. Smith, the guest, laid his
roll down and addressed himself to the
other things on the menu.
81 Judge you don't like my bran bread,
MIR. Smith" remarked the hostess.
ooh, yes, it is good, but l am not feel
ing particularly hungry tonight" said
Mr.. Smith.
Up to this time the hostess had been
diligently attending to the wants of her
guests, and had not herself partaken of
the rolls. When she finally took taste,
she looked across the table to her hus-
band, and asked:
Henry, have you moved that sack OF
bran in the storehouse2''
''Why, yes," said he, II set it over the
other side of the doorway"
'Then what is that sack where the
bran used to be2"
"Why, that's the Lay or Bust that
we feed to the hens"

U. OF M. TO OPEN RAINING CLASS
FOR RADIO OPERATORS.

The College of Technology of the Uni
versity of Maine is to form a trainin g
class for radio and buzber operators for
service in the army. The federal boar d
for vocational education is appealing to
schools of the nation to train men in this
work. Fifteen thousand operators must
be secured at the earliest possible mo-
ment. These operators must come from
the ranks of conscripted men of the sec
ond and following drafts whose instruc-
ton should begin before they are called
to the camps. 1t will exclude all such
persons as girls and women, persons IN
der military age, persons unconscripted,
persons conscripted but unable to pass
the physical examination, persons ex-
empted for any cause and persons who
are seeking free training along CONNER
cial lines. The authorities at Washing
ton state that drafted men who attain
the required proficiency are practically
certain of rapid promotion and increased
pay in the army. The desired standard
would be reached by the average student
in about 200 hours. Some would require
less than this time and some more There
will be no charge for this course. Glasses
will probably be conducted during the
day and evening, thus allowing the stu
dents to attend one or both of these
classes. Those interested should COM
municate with Dean H. S. Boardman,
Orono, Me.

AMERICANS BACK FROM THE
TRENCHES.

The first American artillery unit to es-
tablish contact with the Germans came
back to its billets Nov. It'll The men
were tired and muddy, but still as en-
thusiastic a lot of soldiers as ever came
out of gun pits. The artillery had a
longer stay at the front than the infantry,
and they came back, men and horses,
wet to the bone, covered with mud and
ready to sleep.
Despite the hardshipS not man was
heard to grumble except about the fact
that no mail from home was waiting for
him. Everyone declared enthusiastically
that the firing of shells at the boche
would be fine business" All were anx-
lous to go back again.
In this command there was not on e
casualty despite the length of i stay at
the front and the fact that the Germans
shelled the American Artillery heavily
several times The officers said the night
the American trench was raided the ar
tillery got into action quickly and poured
counter barrage into No Mans Land,
The members of the crew who fired the
first shot at the Germans admitted that
they enjoyed the experience greatly.
One gunner remarked that he would
rather have had that experience and hon
or as 'buck private" than to be ma
jor general. The crew is composed of
youngsters. They came from South
Bend, N. Y, Minneapolis, Chicago, Balti-
more, New Orleans and Douglas, Ariz.
After short rest this artillery con-
tingent will be sent to other camps to in
struct artillerymen who have not yet
been at the front.

First Aid to Marriage.

Of what use is diamond, anyway?
Conserva.ionists who are for cutting
out all extravaganza during the war
are asking the question, says the Kan
sas City Star.
The answer, based upon statistics
furnished by jewelers., seems to be
that the diamond is most valuable
as an aid to marriage. 1t is said
that the trade in diamonds goes up or
down in ratio with increasing or de-
creasing numbers of marriages. This
is because the diamond is used so
much as the setting in engagement
rings.
Last year the United States inn
ported S34,OOOO0O worth of dia-
monds, an increase of 70 per cent
over 1915 and ITO per cent over 1914.
Looking into this startling growth
of the diamond trade it was discov-
cred that, according to leading inn
porters, "every girl expects real dia-
mond in pledge Of plighted troth these
days, and the growth of that custom,
coupled with good times and an in
crease in the number Of marriages, ac-
counts for it."

THE "FIRE ROLLER"

Unwilling testimony of the irresistible
might of the British offensive in Flanders
is given by Lieutenant General Won Ar
denne, the military critic of the Tageblatt
of Berlin, who sends from the Flanders
front graphic picture of the difficulties
of the German defence. No way, he says,
has been devised to prevent the s'fire
roller" as the Germans term the moving
barrage, from making slow and steady
gains. He reports the German losses as
very heavy if an attempt is made to hold
the front-line trenches in force, while a
thin line adds to the speed of the British
advance.
"The sufferings of the defenders in the
front line," General Won Ardenne writes,
composed of shell holes almost filled
with water, are such that the men must
be relieved every two days, instead of
every week or every ten days, as last
year. The infantry now spends two days
on the firing line, two in support and two
in reserve until relieved.
''The German artillery is so numerical
ly inferior to the British that it is seldom
relieved, and as it cannot dig in, owing to
the Doggy terrain, it must fire without
cover"

0NE.TIME PIRATES
Esthonian 0utrages EnkindIed
Wrath of Danish Kings.
Records Show They Were Regarded
as a Daring, Predatory People
of the Baltic.

The Esthonians, who constitute four
nfths OF the population of the Russian
Baltic province of ESthonia, which lies
between Riga and Petrograd, are the
subject of bulletin issued by the Ma
tlohal Geographic society from it's
Washington headquarters
Like the Finns to whom they are
closely related, the Esthonians or
Esths, a race numbering 100000 peo-
pie, more than 100000 of whom reside
IN Esthonia, retain many character
1stics which bespeak their Monaghan
origin. They are long-armed and short
legged, have broad face and low brows,
are usually beardless and have oblique
eyes.
1.-THE first record of the Esths in
Europe reveals them as daring, pred
atory people of the Baltic whose
piratic outrages enkindled the wrath
of Danish kings as early as the twelfth
century. In 1884 and 1896 Canute VI
sent strong expedition against them
and forced number of the lawleSs
bands to accept Christianity and allow
themselves to be baptized. Hardly
had the warlike proselyters left the
Esthonian shores, however, than the
Inhabitants reverted to barbariSm and
their heather practices. A quarter of
q century later Waldemar II was more
successful. He subjugated the north
ern portion of the land and brought
the Inhabitants under submission to
the Danish crown. 1t was never d
willing submission, however, and for
more than 100 years the inhabitants
gave their conquerors endless trouble
until 1343 Waldemar " decided that
they were not worth the bother SO
he sold his interest in the rebels and
in their land to the Knights of the
Sword, who were gradually spreading
their net of power northward from
Teutonic lands.
For more than 500 years thereafter

man landowners.

mobiles and the fortified towns of Esth-
onia placed themselves under the pro-
lection of the Swedish crown, but they
We're forced to acknowledge new
master after Peter the Greats success
full wars against Charles XIIs
"For the last thirty years the Rus
sian imperial government has been
making systematic efforts to abolish
the Esthonian language, to which the
people have chung tenaciously. Harsh
regulations as to the use of the Ian
guage in the schools have not served
to wean the people from their Ian
guage, however. One Characteristic
which has served to preserve the Esth
language through the centuries has
been the peoples love for poetry, and
they have rare natural gift for versi-
ication.
'"The Orthodox Greek church of Rus
STA also has conducted an active pro-
gram in Esthonia. but according to the
latest religious census 90 per cent of
the inhabitants are still Lutherans."

Meteors From the Moon.

Taking up an old theory Of meteors,
Emile Belot, French astronomer, has
attempted to demonstrate that these
bodies may have resulted from vol
canic eruptions on the moon and other
satellites of the solar systems planets.
He finds that an initial velocity of
projection comparable to that which
has been observed in the eruption of
Cotopaxi and only twice as great as
that developed in artillery of the pres
ent war. would be sufficient to carry
a body free from the moon and he has
made calculations of the speed Of pro-
lection and other conditions that would
cause such a body to become satellite
of the moon, Of the earth, or of the
sun.

GIRLS! IT'S YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS
Says Women Pay too Much Heed to
Their Face Instead of Their Corns

Watch your step! A brisk, lively step
is what charms more than a lovely skin,
but your high heels have caused corns
and you limp little. That's bad, girls,
and you know it. CornS destroy beauty
and grace, besides corns are very easy to
remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by asking
at any drug store for quarter of an
ounce of freezone. This will cost little
but is sufficient to remove every hard or
soft corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, touchy corn relieves the soreness
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts right out without pain.
The freezone is gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply shrivels
up the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that corn
less feet create youthful step which en-
hances her attractiveness.

Germany Calls up Her Last Reserves.

her last reserves within the last few
days, according to the General News

This action, says the correspondent, is
attributed to the intention of the Central
Powers to make final effort on the
