n,opwE1;1AN SHIPS CHARTERED.

The shipping board has chartered AGO.
ooo tons If Norwegian sailing ships. They
iii he nut into non-hazardous trades,
nr;nc;nallv with South American, releas-
inc ships for war trades. The sailing YES
sells will supplant about one-third as much
steam tonnage, the difference being due
r. slower speed. Some of the chartered
sbins are as large as 5000 tons capacity
and all are of steel.
The chartered ships will be allowed to
fulfill existing contracts, most OF winch
expire soon, after which they will be d.
rected in their trade according to war
needs. Control by the shipping board
will result in lower rates to Shippers and
more handling of the ships. Most OF the
vessels are iii the Atlantic, but few IN
the Pacific will be allowed to remain for
trade with Australia and the ORIENT.
The addition of the Norwegian SAILING
ships is one of the most substantial IN
creases which the Amerlcan-controlled
merchant fleet has received. Previously,
all available steamers flying the Norwe-
gian, Swedish, Dutch and DANISH 1lags
had been chartered. While control OF
the vessels has BEEN prompted by war
needs. it was indicated that as far as pos
sible they will be allowed to carry the or
binary merchandise of peace times
1000 tons of Japanese ships will De
turned over to the United States during
Nav. A part of these will load nitrates
in Chile for the United States and few
will 90 to Australia for wheat, where
there is a surplus of $50, 600, 600 bushels.

TRACTORS Al COST FOR MAINE
FARMERS.

John A. Roberts of Norway, State
commissioner of agriculture, has received
from Wilfred Wheeler, secretary of the
Massachusetts State Board of Agricul-
ture, communication calling attention
to the fact that the Massachusetts, Board
is distributing Ford tractors in that State
at cost. He also states that New Hamp-
shire farmers have sent in calls for the
machines, and possibly other States would
if the idea was known. The Massachu-
sets Board can secure more tractors than
are needed and Commissioner Roberts is
asked to give publicity to the same in
Maine.
Seven machines come in a carload
and if applications are received for car
load in Maine these could be sent to some
central point in the State. The cost of
the tractor in Massachusetts, is $3.50 f. o.
b., and the freight in carload lots is
about SIS in that State. The British
government has recently purchased 5000
of these tractors on farms in England and
other parts of the empire.
The tractor is a powerful compact ma
chine, weighing 2700 pounds and de-
velops 22- horse power. 1t is driven by
kerosene. The tractor draws two plows
and has a record under actual working
conditions in England of blowing As
acres in 46 hours. 1t is suitable for use
for both blowing and narrowing and, I'M
der average New England conditions,
will do the blowing and narrowing of
three teams On large fields where there
is not much turning the tractor will re-
place even more horse power.

THE NINE MINUTE MAN.

Charles NJ. Schwab, the day he report
ed in Washington to take up his work on
the shipping board, determined to trans
fer his officers and activities to Philadel-
phia There he believed the officials
could better concentrate upon the work
they have to do and be nearer the work
which is being DONE 1t took him only
short time to arrive at this conclusion.
The next thing was to find suitable
quarters for the offices in Philadelphia.
He went there on Saturday for this pur
pose. In nine minutes he had come to
decision, taken over the big office build
ing, ordered the removal of the two
thousand clerks of the shipping board
with all the office equipment and today
the great Emergency Fleet corporation
will be doing business at the new stand.
America has been longing for such
man as this-a nine minute man-who
does things and knows how to do them.
Had this administration employed such
men at the beginning, as our Allies eX-
pected US to dove should be much near
er meeting the needs of the hour and the
expectations Of our Allies than we have.
Thank God, at least one mine minute
man" is on the Job There is plenty of
room for more of them, however.-The

OUTLOOK FOR LUMBER.

Prospects for shipping lumber are not
promising, both vessels and cargoes be-
ing scarce. Very little lumber remains
over from last year, the winter demand
having taken whatever was on hand at
the closing of the mills last fall. There
is little prospect of much early saving at
tidewater mills, most of which are short
of logs.
It appears that Maine has log cut of
about ESQ, 600, 600 to SOC, 600, 600, or rs to
so per cent of normal, the reduction be-
ing attributed to scarcity Of help and
hard weather conditions. The winter
brought few hard storms, but cold was
almost continuous and the snow was
The Republican journal., 1918-05-02

deeper than ever before in forty years
Only three sawmills on tidewater at Ban.
aor will be operated this year, and their
output will be less than usual.
Help Is hard to get, and those who
have no logging operations of their own
will find the price of logs extremely high.
Everything has been thrown out OF Joint
by the war. Lumber freights are likely
to start on the basis of IS to New York,
with few vessels offering. A great deal
of money will be made by those fortu-
nately placed in the lumber business this
year, with spruce selling at three times
its old time price, but the activity will be
confined chiefly to the railroad saw mills.
The Nova Scotia cut is about Is per cent
off.

LETTERS WILL WIN THE WAR,

In the May American Magazine Cor
poral Holiness writing about how the war
has changed his life, says;
~ believe that the mothers and fath-
ers in this country who are receiving let
tiers from over there will say that these
letters are a revelation to them. -FOUR
bows never used to write as they do now
These are not the casual notes they serb
bled at college, nor the matter-ot-fa
epistleS YOU received after they had gone
to the city to work After they have
been over there longer, and the thought
of death has become something that IS
never absent from their minds, you Will
find that YOU are only just beginning TO
know your boy.
Somehow, the best side of man is
the one that he takes the most pains to
hide He can't talk about the things ne
threshes out in secret. He doesn't tell
you about his struggle with temptation
He'd almost bite his tongue out before ne
would admit that somewhere deep INSIDE
of his heart or mind is an ideal that he is
more or less intent on realizing.
"But when he thinks that he may ole
before he can do much about that ideal,
he wants his mother and father to know
that at least he did have one. The war
may take your boy away from you-but
it will also reveal him to you. When he
feels that he may never have another
chance, after he has sealed his letter, to
tell his mother that he loves her, he ism
going to let that chance 60 by. over
there in the trenches, with the thunder
of the guns and the screech of the shells,
he can, and will, talk to you as he never
did here at home. That will be one OF
