ev Associated Press,

Washington. May 24.-Railroad eX-
ecutives from widely separated Sec
tions of the country appeared today at
the interstate commerce commission
hearings on the carriers petition for
a Is per cent advance in freight rates
and submitted to vigorous cross-eS-
animation at the hands of counsel for
the shippers.
The shippers representatives prObed
into the finances of the railroads. try
ing to get the executives to say that
the emergency the railroads claim
exists does not affect every line.
T. c. Powell. vice president of the
Queen & Crescent, in response to
questions, said last week his company
declared a regular dividend OF 3 per
cent on the common stock and an
extra dividend of three and a half per
cent. He said the dividend was re-

Admits Revenue Growth.
Henry Walters, chairman of the
board of the Atlantic Coast line. said
that the increase in net revenue OF the
Atlantic Coast line was greater dur
ing the first three months Of this year
than in the corresponding period of
1916. but additional expenses which
the road must stand did not show In
the reports,
Mr.. Walters added that while there
was no doubt that the net revenues Of
| the line would be larger this year than
| last. they would not be sufficient to
| meet the increased costs.
The witness said the accumulated
surplus of the Atlantic Coast line was
about $35,O00.000. of which $4,000, 900
was in cash, and of that sum 10000
600 had been appropriated. He agreed

roads over lean years and meet emer-
seneies.

regarding the timber lands owned by

OBITUARY.

Capt. Geo. w. Crockett passed away
at his home in Winterport Tuesday morn
ing, June 18th, at o'clock. He had for
some time been suffering with kidney
trouble which eventually caused his death.
ne was 80 years of age and the son of
Capt. Thomas and Ann S. Crockett. He
leaves two sons, brother, Capt. Chas.
a. Crockett, and three sisters, Mrs. j.
n. Eagteston of Winterport, Mrs. Albert
Dean of Everett, Mass, and Mrs John
Aeley OF Winterport. His two sons are
capt. Frank and Capt Bert Crockett,
the former residing in Florida and the
latter in Winterport. Quite recently The
journal had an article bearing upon the
remarkable maritime exploits of the
Crocketts of Winterport and in that arti-
Gle it was stated that Capt. Geo. w.
Crockett had record of over 500 round
Trips in his own sailing vessel from Ban
gor to Boston. The funeral took place
from the Methodist church; the pastor of
winch is also chaplain of Howard Lodge,
r. q A. M, of Winterport of which
capt. Crockett was an honored member,
and indeed very valuable member &C
cordlng to the stories which they are now
telling concerning his remarkable achieve
ments along Masonic lines. He had a
most retentive memory which was of
great assistance to him in this direction.
lie was also a member of the Odd Eel
lows and the funeral ceremonies were
very interesting. Capt. Crockett had
held about all the offices within the Gift
OF both organizations.

The Cabbage Maggot.
Methods of Control.

fletnOQS OF NOntrOl.
Although this is common pest in seed
beds it is not often reported to the Maine
Agricultural Experiment Station as doing
a large amount of damage within the
State. AS it is always liable to appear
the grower should be on the lookout for
this maggot. 1t rarely does much dam
age in the field. The eggs are usually
deposited on the ground near the stems
OF the young plants, or on the stems
close to the ground or even trifle below
it, by fly resembling the common house
fly. In about week the egg matches,
and the tiny grub makes its way to the
roof, where it is able to rasp away the
tender bark and tissues with horny hook
included among its mouth parts. Decay
of the wounded parts aids its progress, so
that, although not equipped with Jaws,
its destructive power is considerable, and
the roots may be seriously injured or kill
ed by girdling. The grub reaches full
size (one-fourth of an inch long, in about
a month, and pupates in the ground, this
stage lasting from two weeks to several
months The winter is passed in the
pupa stage, and there are three or more
broods each season.
The safest remedy is to protect the
seedbed with cheesecloth, setting boards
foot wide on edge around the bed, and
stretching the cloth over the top. This
excludes all the other insect pests as
well, and the partial shade is beneficial
ever, commonly feel that this involves
too much expense and labor, and content
themselves with dipping the plants in
kerosene emulsion or whale-oil soap solu-
ton at time of TRANSFORMING White
hellebore, one part dissolved in two parts
of hot water, has been found very effec-
tive as a dip. Allow the water to cool
before using, and dip deeply enough to
wet the lower leaves as well as the roots.
Helebore dissolved in water at the rate
of two ounces per gallon has proved
perfect remedy when applied to the soil
at the base of the plant, about a teacup-
full of each.
Carbolic acid and lime has been found
very effective in New Jersey in repelling
the flies. Three pints of lime are slaked
to thin cream in gallon of water, and
a tablespoon of crude carbolic acid is
added. This is poured along the row from
a watering can or nozzle so as to form
complete crust about the base of the
plants, which are not injured in the least
by this treatment This circumvents the
maggots quite as effectively as tarred
paper cards, is cheaper, and is applicable
in the seed-beds, where cards are not.
Kerosene and sand-a cupful to bucket
of dry sand-scattered along the rows
will also deter the flies from laying eggs,
but there is some danger of burning the
stems of young plants. The sand should
be well stirred before applying.

THOSE STUPID ARMS CONTRACTS.

Nothing could be more exasperatingly
stupid than the action OF the army pur-
chasing officers in undertaking to place
contracts for artillery and rifles differing
in bore and pattern from the standard
Allied types. This, as staff correspon-
dent of the Public Ledger pointed out in
his dispatch from Washington yesterday,
means changing and re-equipping new
munition plants, failing to utilize those
already established here by the Allies and
delaying the sending of the forces so sore
ly needed in France. Such contracts,
which are as yet merely oral, can and
should be revoked at once. The delay in
making the selective draft is ascribed to
their existence, and this is reason enough
for immediute action. But it is extreme
ly important, besides, that the arms and
ammunitions of the American troops and
their Allies in the field should be inter-
changeable. Otherwise any interruption
in the supply from this side would have
the most serious effects. Why this very
obvious consideration has been ignored it
were fruitless to try to explain. But now
that it's bearing upon our efficient partici
patton in the war is realized, there should
not be one moments delay in rectifying
the error.-Philadelphi Ledger.

PLAYING BASE BALL UNDER
SHADOW OF why RIDGE.

British Headquarters in France. From
a Staff Correspondent of the Associated
Press. The old adage of ''all work and
no play has its application in war as
well as in peace. The base ball season on
the western front is in full swing. Under
the very shadows of Vimy Ridge a great
game was recently played before an all
khaki audience on bit of the battlefield
on which the shell holes had been filled in
and rough grandstand erected for the
officers and other spectators, including
General Horne, commanding the first
British army, who has become an enthu-
siastic fan.
The game was between teams repre-
senting two Canadian brigades. AS a
matter of fact all the teams in what may
be called the world war league are now
composed of representatives of the numer-
GUS Canadian bodies, and all the players
are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the
American forces to arrange for an inter
league series.
The Second Canadian Brigade beat the
Third by the score of to 1. The Second
Brigade had a great left-handed pitcher
whose delivery the Third Brigade batters
could not solve at ALL The Third Brigade
team also had good boxman who for
merly played with Ottawa In the Cana
dian League. The catcher was unable to
hold his delivery we'll, and this fault &C
counted for many Of the runs scored by
the winning side.
The game was remarkably free from
errors, considering the battlefield diamond
on which it was played. All the equip
ment had been brought from America, in
Guiding the base bags.
AS side show it was possible from the
grandstand to see an occasional German
shell dropped half a mile or so away.
Airoplanes were humming overhead but
assuming them to be friendly no one look
ed their way except when fly ball hap
pened to be hit
There was typical roofing by the Cana
dian and American among the khaki
clad spectators, and much wagering on
the game. One subaltern bet enough, he
said to pay his expenses on three weeks
leave in Paris, but he chose the wrong
side and his leave was indefinitely post
poned. The games are played twice a
week in this strangest of all base ball
teams

THE ENGLISH STARTLING.

Several specimens of variety of birds,
which, although at present practically
unknown in Maine seems certain to soon
be as plentiful here-perhaps as plentiful
as were the English sparrows few years
ago, have been received at the State
museum, and are being mounted for ex-
hibition. The name of the variety is the
English Startling There are seven adult
and three young birds, and they were
sent to the museum by Charles F. Sorries
of Meriden, Conn. The adult birds are
about the size of the red-winged black
bird, and the coloring is dark brown and
black, showing rich irridescent tints
The male and female birds are very
similar in appearance. Their beaks are
long and sharp and bright yellow in color.
The young show but little partial resem-
blance, being of light olive brown hue.
The starting eggs, which for some time
have been in the possession of the mu-
scum, are of pale blue tint, and are
little smaller than robins egg.
Curator James states that the starting
is regarded as rather undesirable bird
citizen, having a propensity for driving
away other small birds from his neigh
borhood. He has the redeeming feature
of being an insect catcher, as was EVIL
denced when the gizzards of the specl-
mems received here were found filled with
beetles and flies of various kinds. Like
the sparrow, the startling is soclab!e
body, and builds his home where there is
human companionship.
The birds were introduced several years
ago in New York city by some presum-
ably misguided person. They increased
rapidly and are now getting well estab-
lished in Connecticut and Massachusetts,.
Their arrival in Maine can not be far in
the future. The fish and game depart
ment has received numerous inquiries
about the starting and Curator James
purpose in securing the specimens was
that those interested may see Just what
the bird is like. Specimens will probably
be sent from here to other museums of
| theIState. f3nk ohieS
