MUST DESTROY FOOD PIRATE.

Mr.. Carl Vrooman is U. S. Secretary of
Agriculture. In a recent address he said:
''Mr. Hoover has not overstated the
case against the food gamblers. The
farmers have not received too high a
price for their products. The average
price received by the farmer for his wheat
during the past year was about $1.35.
The rest of the exorbitant prices recently
obtained for wheat was loot-loot for the
Golfers of the food pirates.
preaching food economy is today
thankless task, for what the housewife
saves today the food pirate robs her of
tomorrow. 1t is like building merchant
freighters and sending them out unarmed
to be sunk by the ruthless submarine.
The submarine problem can never be
mastered by increasing the number of
ships to be sunk. The submarine must
be destroyed.
'The food pirate is the submarine as
sassin of the business world. His raw
ages cannot be stopped by the economy
and efficiency of the housewives of Amer
lea. They can only be stopped through
the passage of the food control laws In
Congress, giving to Mr.. Hoover and the
department of agriculture the power to
control food prices in the interest OF both
the producer and the consumer. l have
not the slightest doubt that these laws
will soon be passed. The people have
absolute confidence that Congress Wi
soon put a stop to our present carnival OF
food gambling"

WE ARE FIGHTING THE GERMAN

There is great deal of bosh going the

the kaiser and his autocratic government
Does it never occur to the sentimentaliStS
that if the German people were not behind
the kaiser and his form of government
that there would be no worldwide war?
Surprising the kaiser and all his official
retainers were left alone to fight Ger
many's battles, how long do you think
the war would last?
Was there ever time when a man
who called himself an American could
have favored the German form of govern
ment and still have been an American?
May prohibitionist favor the continu-
ance of the liquor traffic-a raving an
archist take stand for law and order?
Americans should not be deceived by
twaddle We are about to engage in the
tually engaged in it-with the most ruth
less, brutal enemy ever known in man
kinds history and that enemy is the Ger
man people just so long as they uphold
their present inhuman warfare, and that
enemy ceases to be the German people,
just as soon as they throw off the yok.
of imperialistic militarism, and no sooner
The fact should be clear to the mind of
everybody that the German people are
unfolding the kaiser's bloody arm and are
furnishing themselves as human sacrifices
for a barbaric ideal. The sooner we

heads, the sooner we shall be in mental

YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG.

[By Wilbur D. Nesbit, in Telephone Topics
Your flag and my flag!
And how it flies today
In your land and my land
And half world away!
Rose-red and blood red
The stripes forever CLEAN;
Snow-White and soul-white-
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to
CLEAN Alright
The gloried guidon of the day; shelter
through the night.
Your flag and my flag!
And, o, how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within it's folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight!
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed.
Red and blue and white.
The one flag-the great flag-the flag for
me and YOU
Glorifies all else beside-the red and white
and blue!
Your flag and my flag!
10 every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat
And filters shrilly pipe!
Your flag and my flag
A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope
1t never hid lie!
Home land and far land and half the
world around,
Old Glory hears our glad salute and rip
pies to the sound.

Ir,fantile Paralysis.

The Rockefeller committees declara-
ton that infantile paralysis is contagious
seems to mark a new stage in our knowl-
edge of this distressing malady. But it
will recall rival theories and certain
amount of conflicting testimony. The
earlier supposition, based on the summer
incidence of the malady, treated it as be-
ing spread by an air-floated germ released
from one or other of the plants In warm
weather. Some very confident state
ments were sent out alleging it propaga-
ton by insects, especially by flies. Its
rayages were also traced to contaminated
food, and plausible case was made out
against deteriorated or infected milk. Dur
ing the epidemics of poliomyelltls in
Massachusetts, from 1907 to 1912 doubts
almost amounting to denials regarding
the contagiousness of the disease were
expressed in our board of health reports.
The New York committee now comes
forward with the definite assurance ad-
dressed to the public, the medical profess
sion and the health authorities that in
fantile paralysis is communicated by per-
Sonal contact. And a conclusion more
vigorously founded on scientific method
was perhaps never reached. No fewer
than 5496 cases out of the total OF 9023
occurring in Greater New York last year
were investigated with exemplary min
uteness and care. The study involved
II, 1875 visits by nurses to 68,855 families
and 5000 additional visits were made by
medical inspectors, the precaution beng
taken that call statements by members
of patients families were confirmed be-
fore being considered in the final analy-
SIS" That after the experience in Massa-
chusetts all experts will agree with the
committees finding is perhaps not to be
assumed. But the recommendations 1T
makes are not open to serious criticism
One of them enjoins that "children who
are ill should be kept away from others
until it is definitely certain that the i'll
child has not communicable disease,
adding that eff ones own child develops
suspicious symptoms it should be kept
away from others until it is known that
the child is free from such disease 1t
such instructions as these did nothing
more than secure the cooperation OF par
ents and school teachers in the work OF
checking the spread of infantile para
lysis, they would be well worth while

MAINE AUTOMOBILE ROAD BOOK
TIE FINEST YET.

The Maine Automobile Road Book for
1917, issued annually by the Touring
Bureau of the Maine Automobile Asso-
citation, II Monument Square, Portland,
is now ready for distribution and the As
ISOLATION feels extremely proud of its
sixth edition. This years book numbers
nearly 500 pages and is nearly 100 pages
larger than the 1916 issue, which held the
record up to that time.
The scope of the book has been greatly
enlarged and it now covers not only
Maine completely, Tin fact no other vol
ume can anywhere near compare with it
in this territory,) but this year it has
been enlarged to include also the princi-
pal arteries of travel in all of the New
England States and all of the main auto
mobile routes in Canada from Montreal
away east through Quebec to the prov
inces of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia. The book will carry the tourist
from Washington, D. c., Philadelphia
and New York, to Halifax, N. S. Its
western limit is Washington, D. c., it's
northwestern limit is Montreal, P. O.,
its northern limit is Quebec and the North
Shore of the st. Lawrence river, and it
goes as far east as Halifax and the Land
Of Evangeline.
The famous Pine Tree tour is still a
feature of the book and it also includes
the widely known ideal tour. The ma
jority of the routes are given in both di-
rections. The book has rs city and town
street maps, new illustrations, new and
complete indexes; and features of special
value are the new automobile, fish and
game and other important laws enacted
by the Maine Legislature which was in
session this year.

SAVE EVE LAMBS.

Wool will command high price next
year. Save every eve lamb possible for
breeding is the urgent message the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture is
sending to sheep owners. Market for
slaughter only those absolutely worthless
for breeding stock. There is strong de-
mand among farmers for breeding stock,
and owners of eve lambs should have no
trouble finding a breeding market for
them through county agents or the State
agricultural colleges. Sheep specialists
of the United States Department of Agri-
culture believe that although prices for
breeding stock now are high, those who
start production of wool and mutton on a
moderate scale will have no cause to re-
gret purchasing breeding stock at present
figures. ~
