WORK OR FIGHT.

Some of our States have passed law
(which requires all citizens to work II
physically able to perform manual labor.
This law has had good effect especially
in MARYLAND. President Wilson has has
an interview with Governor Harrington
of that State and this was followed by
conference with Gen. Crowder. The re-
suit of all this has been that military
order has been issued which DEGREES that
if any registrant is an idler he shall
e'work or fight on and after July list.
This will eliminate idleness from the
ranks of those who are subject to draft
but does not apply to the able bodied
anen of our State who are not registered.
1T may appear next winter that law is
needed in this State which will compel all
idlers to work. If the war lasts another
wear as now seems to be probable, the
American people will have to toll as they
have never done since they carved homes
out of the wilderness hundred or more
wears ago We may as well realize that
y
now as to be convinced later. 1t is a
question whether the fact that 1000, 600
railroad employees are now, nominal
~ at least, so far under the control of the
government that the military power OF
the United States has authority to say
sswork or fight to railroad strikers. If,
however, we are compelled to fight Ger
MANY till we are hard pressed as the
Allies now are for food and munitions,
our government must then not only COM
mel the men but the women to work, and
to work where their labor is most needed.
Non. essential business and employments
must be given up. The country must be
preserved no matter what it costs. 1t
BODIES well for our future that the willing
ness and spirit of our people are rapidly
rising to meet the emergency whatever
it NAV be- This is evidenced by the
readiness and promptness with which
they over subscribed the third Liberty
Loan and the Red Cross fund, to which
nearly so per cent of our entire popula-
ton contributed. 1t is evidenced quietly
but no less Enthusiastically by the millions
of our women who are working in their
n ONES and in the Red Cross rooms to help
the cause The steadfastness and ear
nestness of our mothers, wives and daugh-
tiers are really the best auguries which
foretell ultimate victory With the ex-
ample of our patriotic women before us

work should not be necessary. But some

Cincinnati man discovers drug that loosens
corns SO they lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing freez-
one, the recent discovery of Cincinnati
man. which is said to loosen any corn so
it lifts out with the fingers
A quarter of an ounce costs very little
at any store which handles drugs, but
this is said to be sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
You apply just few drops on the ten
der, aching corn or toughened callus and
instantly the soreness is relieved, and
soon the corn or callus is so shriveled that
it lifts out without pain. 1t is a sticky
substance which dries when applied and
never inflames or even irritates the sur
rounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thousands
of deaths annually from lockiaw and in
lection heretofore resulting from the
suicidal habit of cutting corns.

LETTER RON AUGUSTA.
Correspondents Of The Journal,

Correspondence of The Journal.)
During our many trips from Belfast to
Augusta we have often seen Nature as
lavish in her adornment, as now. but
never more SO. Spring has not this year
fingered in the lap of Winter. From the
cars one fails to see the usual springtime
areas of land in tillage for cereal and
vegetable crops. We noticed, however,
near many farmers door an ample wood
pile, showing that the prudent owner had
safe-guarded himself and family from a
fall shortage There are not now the
usual amount of logs at Waterville or in
the great boom between Riverside and
Augusta, but the mills are running regu-
larly. At Augusta, on the east side of
the river, the Cushnoc' Company has a
large pile of pulp wood four feet long,
which probably was sent by rail from
towns on our branch road and from not
distant points on the main line.
Augusta, seen in December, is city of
hills. In winter, Old Boreas often comes
speeding recklessly down the river valley
and honks defantly through the city's
streets. But seen today, Augusta is
beautiful, comfortable and delightful. It
seems to be the natural habitat of the
elms, and nowhere have we seen them
LARGER. Viewed at this season from high
I'D in the dome of the State House, Au-
eusta loses its identity as city and,
camoufla ged by it's elms, it appears to be
forest. Coming here from our own
little city, the streets at first impressed
me as being animated by the impulse of
large and busy traffic. Inquiry soon dis
PEELED that impression The business
men here have the same troubles that
handicap trade elsewhere. Just now
Augusta is Justly proud of her patriotism.
Her people have gone over the top in
every great cause pertaining to the war.
Next winter the city will be seething
cauldron of politics, but Just at present

Jealous democrats are engaged in gen.
eral propaganda to discredit Governor

necessary to megaphone that statement
all over the State every month as was
being done two years ago. The hearing
in the case of the sheriff of Penobscot

invaluable. The Liberty motor is good

THE RAILROADS.

Mr.. McAdoo, director general of rail-
for new rolling stock and for the improve
Qnent of trackage, terminals and other
sShings to facilitate traffic. He has order
ed an increase of 25 per cent in freight
rates to take effect June 25th, and an in
crease of passenger rates to three cents
mile to take effect June 10th He has
also granted an increase of $500, 900, 600
annually to the railroad employees of the
country. This entails upon the people
di scernible tax of 81, 800, OOO, 600, and no.
body can tell what amount the increased
cost of freight and passenger Transporter
tion will add to that tax. Mr.. McAdoo
evidently realizes what burden he is
putting on the people for he says: 'It is
earnestly hoped that all citizens will &C
cept the additional burden in the same
spirit of self-saeriflce in which they have
accepted other burdens" Mr.. McAdoo
should not be too severely blamed if gov
eminent management of the railroads
proves to be as complete failure, in an
emergency as corporate management has
= been. The transportation business of the
country was inadequate, not only to our
every day needs, but to our immediate
necessities both individually and nation
ally. That something must be done was
more than a theory it was a condition
-ash5ch required speedy improvement if
esaa3 were possible. 1t was a condition
r3hicn would not yield to the ordinary
methods of business treatment. Some
sort of dynamic action was required and
such action was taken Mr. McAdoo
was chosen to act as director general of
the railroads of the United States and
doubtless soon learned that if the rail-
roads were to do more efficient work they
must be better equipped for service. With
the most vigorous efforts it will be months
before we can reasonably hope for any
considerable Improvement in the railroad
situation. In the meantime the public
must pay the bills and hope for the best.
We believe that government control of
railroads is long stride towards paternal-
ssm and that it is dangerous one, forced
upon us for the emergency OF war. Il

MASS MEETING IS CALLED FOR
 FRIDAY NIGHT One of the Parties Inter- ested Says That No Agitation Will Be
 Allowed. PURPOSES AS OUTLINED Declares That Object Is to Have Labor and
 Capital to Co.,
 operate.
PURPOSES AS OUTLINED

A mass meeting of laboring men has been called for Friday night to meet at A. B. Hall to discuss gen eral labor conditions in the Territory and also in this section. and to take steps to secure further evidence to lay before Governor Strong relative to the eight-hour hearing which has ed as chairman of the last mass meeting will act as chairman again on Friday night.
 When seen this morning regarding the call MT. Harrison said This meeting will be a meeting of work ingmen to discuss labor conditions in general and to take necessary steps looking towards the bettering Of con ditions of the laboring men. It IS to be understood that no labor agi- tation looking towards the causing Of strife and trouble between labor and capital in this section is to be tol- erated.
 An organization may be formed along the lines followed by the An chorage Labor Union, but if one such is formed, it will be incorpor- ated in the articles that any man
 making utterances or talk tending to start agitation or strife shall be turned over to the Federal authori- ties to be dealt with according to the law.
 We are not looking for trouble, but we think that the proper kind of an organization can be formed which
 will cooperate with the employers of
 this section, not only to better the conditions of the working men, but
 also to help in securing the neces- sary labor for this section. The or
 ganization, if formed, will work to-
 wards the better understanding and cooperation between labor and cap ital here and work toward the best
 interests oss both and the country in
 general" he said.
 S. E. Mandle. representative of the Anchorage Labor Union, Bob
 Oliver, representative of the fisher
 men of Ketchikan, Senator o. F. Hubbard. representative of the Val | dez miners, will all be present and
 will address the meeting.

The increase has been largely due to the construction of the railroad, for it cuts through some of the fin est agricultural land in all of Al aska.
 The township surveys of the General Land Office have been ex- tended to several districts, princi- the Fairbanks and Nenana sections of the interior of Alaska, and to the Chitina, Anchorage, and Se- ward sections on the coast. The rest of the homestead locations, ac- cordingly, must proceed to patent without conforming their boundar- ies to the section lines and subdi- visions of a township survey.
 At present it is necessary for the homesteader to employ surveyor at his own expense to mark out the boundaries of his entry. This has discouraged many bona fide set tiers from carrying their locations to the patenting stage. The settle iiNIlt ol tuC puDllC dOluoili III tHCot more or less isolated but neverthe- less important. sections of Alaska has thus been often retarded
 From the report of the Commits sioner of the General Land Office, submitted to the Secretary of the Interior for the year ending June 30, 1917, it is learned that Alaska s total public domain consists of 37S, 165,76 acres. Of this area but S63, ,254 acres have been sur veyed. In other words, a one four hundred and thirty-seventh part of the entire Territory has been sur veyed. The proportion of survey ed land to the total area is the same as one-half the area of the State of Maryland would be if com pared to the total area of the United States.
 The bill under consideration has been the subject of favorable re- ports on several occasions by Gov ernment officials whose sphere of activity includes Alaska. In the last report of Commissioner Clay Tallman, of the General Land Off, flee the Commissioner says:
 l desire to reiterate my rec
 ommendation of year ago that
 provision be made for the sur
 vey of homestead entries on
 unsurveyed lands in Alaska by and at the expense of the
 Government, under such condi-
 tions as will restrict such con-
 ditions as will restrict such
 surveys to bona fide settlement
 claims
 The homesteader and pioneer rancher in Alaska is one of the most deserving citizens of the Ter ritory; he is there to stay and is blazing the way for the develop ment of a great Commonwealth; 1; he is making many sacrifices and should be given every reasonable measure of assistance; he is the one who will be aided by the passage of this bill.

 FRANKLIN K. LANE,
 Secretary. Out of a total territorial area of 596,S44 square miles, Alaska has approximately 1O0,ooo square miles available for agriculturai purposes. The bulk of this area is represented by the Matanuska-su- sitna-Cook Inlet district in south western Alaska and the fukon-Ian- ana district in the interior, put many important farming areas are also to be found in southwestern and Southeastern Alaska, in little valleys, at the heads of bays and inlets, and in pockets in the noun tains, which, although small, are favorably situated to markets.
 Entry on the public lands of Alas ka is being hastened by the con struction of the Government Fail- road from Seward and Anchorage in southwestern Alaska toward Fair banks, in the interior. In the year 1913 a total of 103 acres of land were entered on in the whole Ter ritory, according to the report of the Commissioner of the General Land Office The next four years showed increases as follows:
