OUR NEXT IMPORTANT DUTY.

When Congress was in session it was
often asserted that prices of food in Eng
land were lower than in the United States.
This may have been true few months
ago but today butter is 10 cents higher
there than here and the same can be said
of cheese and almost every food product.
Before the harvest of 1918 is available
England and France will need much more
wheat and much more. of many other
kinds of food from this country than we
can supply if we maintain our usual or
our present style of living. Mr.. Hoover
is not victim of hysteria. He sees the
situation as it is. The Allies are demon
strating that they can whip Germany if
their soldiers are well fed and know that
their folks back home are not famine
stricken. Germany is slowly losing her
power to fight because of the lack of that
vigor and courage which food gives. We

LITTLE CUSTOMS REVENUE.

The Daily Treasury Statement for Oc-
tober 10th is suggestive 1t shows ordi-
nary receipts of sl,849, 600 and ordinary
disbursements of S11, III, 900; and it
shows that only S1O4, 600 of the receipts
for the day were derived from customs
duties. These figures are exceptional
of course; but they are indicative of the
trend of the fiscal policy of the Demo-
yield the smallest percentage of the ma
tional income that they have ever pro-
duced and the policy of the party in
power is to render our tariff income neg
iiglble on the country's balance sheet.
At the same time the direct taxes are

IN FRANCE.

There is a touch of deep pathos in a
private letters description of the dis
charged soldiers who are employed as
hotel help in Paris. These men, says the
letter, Ego about their work wearing their
medals and ribbons, but some of the poor
fellows look pathetically weak and brok-
en-" Home-wounded, decorated, hon
ored by the accolade of the highest in the
land-but down now to answering calls
in hotel! Surely that is the anti-climax
of war. But those medalled bell-boys
are still doing their bit. If they can no
longer front the enemy in the field of
battle they can make frances guests
comfortable in their inns. But to be
waited on by one of those wounded and
medalled veterans must be harder than
to perform the service itself. 1t would
be little like having Joffre black ones
boots; one would much rather it were
Hindenburg.

Subsidized Flour.

Many people often wonder why flour,
exported from this country to Great
Britain can be purchased by the public
there cheaper than it can be bought here.
This has been more or less of a mystery
ever since war began. But the explana-
ton is simple. Lord Northcliffe, head of
the permanent British mission here,
speaking in Chicago recently, revealed
the battling secret. The English govern
ment subsidies flour to the extent of
5000, 900, 600 taken in taxes from the rich
for the benefit of the poor, so that it can
actually be sold at less than it can be
bought in Minneapolis.

Powdery Scab Of Potatoes.
Soil, Temperature and Moisture are Limit
ing Factors.

ing Factors.
A few years ago powdery scab was
very live topic with Maine potato grow
ers and shippers as well as with growers
in other States who depended upon Maine
seed. Following the discovery of the
disease in Maine in 1918 it became sub
iect of intensive study in this State both
by the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Powdery scab is now known to occur
in Maine, New York, Minnesota, Wash
ington and Oregon. A careful survey of
the distribution of the disease has shown
that in each of these States where it has
been found it is confined entirely to those
portions which have a relatively cool
growing season, associated with abundant
rainfall An extensive series of expert
ments conducted by the Federal patho-
logists in IL different eastern States from
Massachusetts, to Florida have shown
quite conclusively that powdery scab will
not develop under the climatic conditions
which exist there.
In Maine it has appeared only in Aroos-
took and certain parts of Penobscot and
Washington counties and there is very
little reason to think that the infected
area is likely to increase materially In
other words the probability of powdery
scab ever becoming established, in the
dryer and warmer portions of the State
of Maine, is slight. Moreover in Aroos-
took county, where the disease attained
its greater development few years ago,
its prevalence is markedly influenced by
seasonal climatic conditions
The seasons of 1913 and 1914 furnished
relatively large amounts of powdery scab
but since that time the amount found in
the Aroostook potato crop has declined to
almost nothing Undoubtedly some of
this decline is of a temporary nature and
due to climatic conditions of individual
seasons, but there is reason to believe
that the decrease can be made permanent
to greater or less extent, if present
methods are followed.

ENGLISH WOMEN IN FRANCE

Several thousand English women have
taken the place of men in the British
camps in France. The Women's Auxil-
larry Army Corps has charge of the work
of recruiting for this work. The need is
for cooks, house and pantry maids and
mattresses. The English view is that no
soldier should be in camp kitchen, be-
cause this is essentially women's work.
The call is out for 10000 volunteers for
each month from now on. Applicants must
be 10 years of age for service in training
camps in England and 20 years for over
seas duty. Those selected are examined
by women doctors and are asked to sign
for the duration of the war. Thousands
of American women are ready for a SINH
lar call when Pershing says come.

TAKE THE LOAN.

The following poem was written by
Edward Everett Hale in 1861 when the
first government war loan bonds were
offered:
Come, freemen of the land,
Come, meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand,
Take the loan!
For the hopes the prophet saw,
For the swords your brothers draw,
For liberty and law,
Take the loan!
We ladies of the land,
AS We love the gallant band
Who have drawn soldiers brand
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she could,
Who would give the soldier food,
Who would stanch her brothers blood,
Take the loan!
An who saw our hosts pass by,
All who Joined the parting cry,
All we babe them do or die,
Take the loan!
As We wished their triumph then,
AS We hope to meet again,
And to meet their gaze like men,
Take the loan!
Who would press the great appeal
Of our ranks of serried steel,
Put your shoulder to the wheel,
Take the loan
That our prayers in truth may rise,
Which we press with streaming eyes
On the lord of earth and skies,
Take the loan

Healthy potatoes for planting, and dis
infection to prevent the introduction of
disease by means of the seed tubers is
more generally practiced than in the
past. 1t has been shown that, even in
northern Maine, severe outbreaks of
powdery scab are restricted to the wet,
poorly drained soils of definite type and
that the disease is seldom of much conse-
qdence in the best types of potato land.

AS he reached the purieus of the

decorations, activity. People arrayed
in mask and costume were focking

from street to street Finally his
wish to conceal his identity was graf

reckless abandonment flung aside
the half mask and fancifuI tinsel

Now, mixing with the throngs, he
was holder and felt more secure. He
did not know where the LandOns
lived, but he planned to make inqui-
ries that would lead to that discOv-
cry. AS he approached the public
square he came to a halt with a
shock. An automobile had drawn up
to the curb in a side street. It con-
tanned an old man, the chauffeur and
a girl At her Rowland stared,
breathless, ecstatic.
1t was Eunice! It was the object
of the undying love he had cherished
all these years. Her father spoke to
her as if asking her to join him in a
tour of the gay square. Her face was
set, cherries. She shook her head,
settled herself back in the seat and
her father and the chauffeur mingled
with the throngs and were lost to
view.
Eunice LandCn gazed with lack
