THE DRAFT.

It will not be long before the President
will issue call for 500, 900 men between
the ages of 21 and 80. In the United
States there are said to be about 10, OOO,-
e00 men within these age limits. We
have total population of about 100, 900, =
900. Thus it will be seen that about one
tenth of our population will be subject to
draft. Maine has about 300, 600 popula-
ton. We may therefore expect that we
have about 80, 900 men in Maine who are
liable to be called.
The published estimates show that
Maine has considerably less than 10000
in fact only $4,000. But we may as well
face the outside figures.
From these 10000 men, Maine must
furnish 1000 able bodied men as her quota
to our first war army of 500, 900 soldiers.
Waldo county has a population of about
%, 600. One tenth of this population is
1900. Therefore we may conclude that
cur county has about 1890 men liable to
be drafted, and that of Names quota of
some 1000 men we shall have to furnish
about lis men. The above figures are all
estimated, approximately, but serve to
show what the draft will mean to us.

RALLY ROUND CORN.

For corn, as food for man as well as
beast, we enter the arena as one of the
chief prota gonists Ever since we read
that James A. Garfield was all but reared
on cornmeal mush, we have believed it
good enough for the best of men, In fact,
we cannot remember the time when it's
taste was not one of our chief delights.
We like it anywhere, at any time, in
every form-corn pone, corn bread, corn
cakes and particularly corn meal mush.
In memory, once more we stand by our
mothers side in front of the kitchen
stove and watch her stirring kettle of
corn meal mush with wooden ladle. We
see those bubbles rise and burst again-a
mystery profound as life itself to childish
minds. We snuff that fragrant odor,
sweet as new-mown hay. And, finally,
we devour the brimming bowl of mush
and milk, our little stomachs full to burst
ing No not finally" for in the morn
ing at the breakfast table it made it's ulti-
mate temperance. Transmitted, tram
substantiated, having suffered "a sea
change into something new and strange"
and wonderful.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard;
Heap high the golden corn.
No richer gift hath autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Be sure to plant enough and soon
enough! "Now is the accepted time. -

OUR FLAG.

The Stars and Stripes is the official
name of the national flag of the United
States.
In the army, the Stars and Stripes is
called the Standard when carried by
mounted troops. When carried by foot
soldiers it is called the Colors, and is
somewhat larger than the Standard.
In the navy, the Stars and Stripes is
known as the United States Ensign.
When the flag is used as an altar cover
ing the union should be at the right as
you face the altar, and nothing should be
placed on the flag except the Holy Bible
On the sea the Stars and Stripes is dipped
by way of salute or compliment. On
shore this is not done. In pictures of the
Stars and Stripes the staff should be to
the left of the picture with flag floating
to the right. When two or more flags
are displayed the Stars and Stripes should
be placed on the right To ascertain the
right of building one should face. in the
same direction as the building No flag
should ever be flown from the same staff
as the United States flag, except in the
Navy, and then only during divine ser
vice, when the "church pennant'' may
be displayed above the Stars and Stripes
God above country.

DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN

Practically all the Chambers of Com
merce and Boards of Trade, and many
other organizations of business men, in
Maine have endorsed the daylight saving
plan. A committee representing the State
Board of Trade, the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, the Committee of Public Safe
ty, the Lewiston Chamber of Commerce
and the Gardiner Board of Trade, recent
iy called on Governor Milliken and sug-
gested that he issue proclamation ad-
vising statewide adoption of the plan.
He expressed willingness to do so if he
could be convinced that there is in the
State a general call for it.
This plan simply stated is that the
clocks be set ahead one hour during the
summer. Work in the shop, the mill, the
store and elsewhere will begin one hour
earlier. The wage earning day will be
neither heightened nor shortened. The
argument in favor of the plan is this: '1t
means an hours saving of daylight after
work or business to be used for garden
ing, home duties or recreation.' Cleve-
land and Detroit tried the plan in 1914
and it is said to have paid France, Great
Britain and some other European coun-
trles tried it last year as war measure.
Dr. A. E. Dunning of Boston, prominent
man. who spent last summer in England
said that the results were satisfactory
and was highly approved. No doubt the
plan will work well in thickly populated
sections. In our county the real farmers
work during the summer in all the day
light there is, regardless of clocks In
our city it will be easy for our Board
ef Trade and our committee of Public
Safety and our workers to consult to-
gether and if desirable, they can arrange
to put the Daylight Saving Plan into eff
feet on June lst, and thus try it out. The
Public Safety Committee in our towns
can take such action as they and their
fellow citizens think advisable There
really seems but little need to send in any
request to Gov. Milliken. With US it
seems to be matter for local considera-
ton and decision

Growing and Curing Clover Hay.
GBy F. S. Adams. Chief. Bureau of Animal
Industry

GBy F. S. Adams. Chief. Bureau of Animal
Industry
Under the present abnormal high price
for grain and the prospect that it may be
even higher and perhaps be unattain-
able for feed purposes, it is absolutely i'm
perative for the dairy farmer of Maine
to raise for his dairy all the home grown
feeds possible.
AS is well known, clover hay is one of
the best of our home grown feeds, being
almost as rich in protein as bran, and
bran is selling for about S45 per ton.
Clover will grow on almost any kind Of
soil, provided that this soil is well drain
ed, either natural or artificial Land that
grew hardwood timber will, usually,
grow good clover 1t will not do well on
acid soil Lime should be used at the
rate of one ton to the acre. 1t can be
grown well in rotation as it will follow or
precede almost any crop, since clover
brings nitrogen from the air and deposits
it in the soil and also, through the medi-
um of it's roots, stores the ground with
humus. Such crops as feed generously
on humus or nitrogen, like wheat, corn
and potatoes, should follow clover.
Clover and lime should certainly play
more important part in our State of
Maine agriculture. The great mistake
that many farmers make is not harvest
ing the clover crop early enough-that is
when it is in full bloom. If cut too late
there is a decided loss. All clovers are
much impaired by exposure to rain, dew
or too much sunshine. They will lose IN
aroma and palatibility. When curing, the
aim should be to prevent to the greatest
extent the loss of leaves.
The method of procedure to be follow
ed in harvesting clover, is as follows:
Now in the afternoon, if possible, when
the wind is in the west; leave in swath un-
til next day when the dew has dried off.
Go over it twice with a tedder. Before
the dew begins to fall, when the clover is
warm from the sun, rake and bunch,
about one hundred pounds in bunch,
shaped like miniature stacks, so they
will shed water. If possible, hay caps
should be used. They may be made from
strong cotton cloth and, if well cared for,
will last long term of years The hay
should stand in punches for at least two
days, or until it undergoes the heating or
sweating process. It becomes warm in
the center of the bunch, after which the
heat gradually leaves it. Then open the
hay two or three hours in the sun before
hauling it to the barn, to dry out the re-
naming moisture. When unloading into
the NOV keep the hay level, well tramp
ed down. and fill the NOW in the quickest
time possible Remember that the more
clover hay is handled the more it's feed
ing value is impaired. The dairyman
that has his silo full of good corn ensilage
and his mows well filled with the best of
clover hay can feed his cows through the
winter and keep up a fair production,
even if he is unable to get much grain.

The Milk Situation.

The mass meetings of milk producers
last week disclosed intolerable conditions
in the dairy industry of New England
and meeting of the executive commit
tee of the New England Milk Producers
Association has been called for Tuesday
evening, May 22nd, at Boston Immedi-
ate action is necessary to avert disaster
and this board will take steps to relieve
the harassed and discouraged producers
of New England. What action will be
taken is not known, but it is supposed it
will relate to a more satisfactory price
for milk and urge the cooperation of
civic authorities to bring about relief in
the grain situation. The latter has be-
come acute. The price of the commodity
has scared beyond all records. Its search
ty is the matter of serious concern in all
parts of New England. Not few farmers
find it impossible to secure grain for i'm
mediate use, and there is evidence that it
cannot be obtained in necessary quanti-
ties in the future. In fact, relief must be
found and it is hoped that the executive
committee will point the way. 1t is like
ly that the committee will recommend an
increase in the price of milk. The pro-
ducers are strongly in favor of an imme-
diate increase.
A straw indicating the situation in the
dairy industry is afforded by the slaughter
ing reports at Brighton and Watertown.
For the week ending May 9th, there was
1896 calves; for the week ending May 1st,
8433; corresponding week last year, 1926.

one company from the Maine Central,
one from the Boston and Albany and two
companies from the New York, New
Haven and Hartford.

During the Spanish war, when the bat
tleship Oregon arrived from her long
cruise around Cape Horn the captain re-
ported that the ship was all ready to fight
the enemy. When in Manila Bay Ad-
miral Dewey said: ''you may fire when
you are ready, Capt Gridley." The cap
tain was ready and a storm of shot and
shells was Immediately poured into the
Spanish ships. When our squadron of
destroyers reached England few days
ago the British officers asked how soon
the squadron would be ready for duty.
"All ready now, sir" was the reply and
away they steamed after the U-boats
That's the way America likes to have
things done.

CENSORSHIP OF MOVEMENTS OF
u. S. NAVY ABROAD.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, an
nounced recently that he had received
no confirmation from Rear Admiral W.
S. Sims, who is directing the work of
American destroyers in the war zone, of
the report that one of our destroyers has
engaged in a fight with a German u
boat.
Mr.. Daniels today cabled Admiral Sims
to report by wire, keeping the Navy De-
partment fully informed regarding the
progress of the submarine as it affects
the sturdy American destroyers. An un-
derstanding between the Navy Depart
ment and the British Admiralty will pre-
vent the publication hereafter in Great
Britain of the movements or strength of
American naval units in European waters.
While Mr. Daniels made no definite an
nouncement on the subject, it was init
mated that the Navy Department may
follow the Anglo-French policy of not
publishing the capture or destruction of
German submarines, or at least-pOt stat
ing the latitude and longitude where
captured or destroyed, or giving the num-
Der of the submersibe
Secretary Daniels said that the crews
of the American destroyers on the other
side were provided with ample clothing
before they sailed for Europe, the identi-
cal outfits used in winter in Nova Scotia
waters.
In anticipation of more severe weather
during the winter season, Secretary Dan
iels has ordered supply of even heavier
clothing. This order was placed some
time ago and deliveries are to be made the
first of August.
Secrecy regarding operations on land or
sea should be adhered to if publicity would
be of advantage to the enemy. But there
will be plenty of information which the
public has right to demand, the promul-
cation of which can do no harm. If one
of our destroyers is sunk or U-boat
is sent to the bottom by them we want to
know about it, The American people
are waging this war in part and they will
not tolerate kaiserism from Sec'y Dam
iels or from anybody else without making
it hot for them. The people who make
the sacrifices enforced on them by the
war have reasonable right to know
what is going on as far as the exigencies
of the hour will allow. They do not
want too much "watchful waiting"

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21. Senator
Fernald of Maine has received number
of inquiries from his constituents con-
corning a chain letter now being circu-

no such shortage exists.
Upon the advise of the Surgeon Gener-
aPs department, Senator Fernald has re-
ferred the matter to the Postoffice depart
ment, which is now engaged in an in
