GENERAL PERSiING TALKS SEN
SIBLY.

Since he arrived in France General
Pershing has frequently been interview
ed. On one occasion he said: 81 came
to Europe to organize the participation
of our army in this immense conflict of
free nations against the enemies of lib
erty and not to deliver fine speeches at
banquets or have them published in the
newspapers. Besides, that is not my
business, and you know we Americans,
soldiers and civilians, like to appear and
to be, business-like. AS man and as
soldier l am profoundly happy, indeed
proud of the high mission with which
am charged. But all this is purely per-
sonal and consequently may appear out
of proportion with the solemnity of the
hour and the gravity of events now oc-
curing. 1t is much more important, l
think, to announce that we are the pre-
cursors of an army that is firmly resolved
to do it's part on the continent for the
cause the American nation has adopted
as it's own. We come conscious of the
historic duty to be accomplished when
our flag shows itself upon the battlefields
of the Old World. 1t is not my role to
promise or prophecy Let it suffice to
tell you we know what we are doing and
what we want.

WORK OF FARMERS
UNION IN MAINE.
(By C. d. Gardiner, President.)

AS the fiscal years of the Farmers
Union of Maine and the locals through
out the State ends with this month it
would seem that summary of some of
the work accomplished during the past
year will be of interest to not only those
who are connected with the organization
! but also to those on the outside that
should be on the in.
| By invitation the writer during the
past week attended the annual meeting
of number of the locals and the reports
at all places visited were most gratifying
as large surplus in all cases was dis
tributed among the membership, ranging
from three to six thousand dollars, at the
same time furnishing their members with
supplies at great saving.
For example, VIM Farmers Union
did gross business of $500, 600, net profit
$4,000, the same being divided among the
members; North Lincoln Farmers Union,
only eight months in business, divided
"a 600; Rockland Union divided So, 900, at
the same time selling their members at a
very small margin above cost. At this
meeting of the Rockland Union a vote
was passed by recommendation of the
Central organization that all goods in the
future would be sold with a fair profit
added, thereby assuring larger surplus
and at the same time placing themselves
In a position to take care of any loss that
might accrue through declining mar
! ket that is sure to come sooner or later.
This recommendation is being made to
all the locals as it is believed the better
business course to follow
| Many other unions have done as well
or better than those above mentioned.
The business of the organizations through
out the State the past year will exceed
S3, 900, 900, a fair showing for a small and
young organization.
AT the present time the work and in
terest manifested is growing rapidly and
1t now looks that when the annual meet
ing takes place the 10th of this month
that we shall have about one hundred
locals, as there are at the present time
number waiting to be organized
Through the central organization of
the Farmers Union of Maine during the
past six months contracts with many of
the large concerns of the country have
been made to handle their products.
The fertilizer sales of this season have
far exceeded those of last season, not
withstanding the bad transportation ia
cilities.
The Farmers Union Grain & Supply
Co. of Waterville, the wholesale grain
house of our organization, has done a
most satisfactory business.

Enlarged Veins.

A physician says that continuous
drinking Of alcoholic beverages is a
common cause Of the distension OF
minute blood vessels, particularly about
the face and nose These blood vessels
are Influenced each time alcohol in any
quantity is taken into the system, and
finally the elasticity Of the walls is de-
stroyed, and the veins become perma-
nently enlarged, and "red nose" and

A Cheerful Mind.

"a merry heart doeth good like a
medicine" The correctness of this
latter statement is seen in the fact
that it is much easier for person to
recover from an attack of illness if
he is cheerful and hopeful than when
he is either Indifferent as to his recov-
cry or despairs of it. This is also al
together aside from the strength Of
purpose which often helps one to throw
off an illness by sheer force Of will.
Just as the bodily health is improved
by cheerfulness so the mental condi-
ton is equally benefited by it.
