SaxA the Eats.

GIycerine enough for 1920 shells
Of the 75-millimeter type, fat enough
for 1000 pounds Of soap and fertii-
izer for 50 acres of land, is produced
daily from the garbage Of Los An
geles. Every ounce of table waste is
helping win the war. according to
report submitted to the Los Angeles
Chamber Of Commerce, comparing
the garbage situation with that OF
one year ago.
Less than one-third as much
garbage is being collected as twelve
months ago. The back yard chicken
pens have been increased so per cent
over last year. More table scraps
are being converted into eggs and
chicken meat than ever before, while
the collection of garbage has been
dwindling steadily for year.
Los Angeles was one of the first
cities to respond to the food ad-
ministration appeal to save fats and
fertilizer Many large cities are not
yet converting their garbage into war
material, as a result of which it is
estimated that 100000 pounds Of
glycerine. 100000 cakes of soap
and $4,000 tons of tankage are vast
ed annually through neglect.
If we speed up our savings from
habitual wastes before the Huns
throw up the sponge. we shall get one
more benefit out of the war. for when
the war is over these bad habits are
easily held over.

Maine Boys in the Camps.

Editor Kenncbec Journal:
AS our train drew near Aver
last night. at s o'clock. we ran
parallel for some time to a train
loaded with recruits from Maine
on its way to Camp Devens.
Each car bore printed sign Civ
ing the name Of a familiar Maine
county - Androcoggin, Penoh-
scot. Waldo. etc.
From every window a hand or
a hat or a flag waved vigorous

from the best blood of the land
that once was part of Massachu-
sets These boys were going to
the healthiest and best training
that can he had TODAY. My heart
warmed as | watched their cour-
ageous, manly faces coming into
view.
May | say to the fathers and
mothers to whom such vision
OF young manhood would have
been so welcome. that not only
the officers of Camp Devens. but
the civiliana near the Camp will
make their life here very happy.

At almost every house in the
towns adjoining the Camp boys
who wish il may find pleasant
associations for their Sunday
leisure. The opportunities for
recreation are as thoroughly or
ganized as in any camp in the
country. and the boy who misses
the friendships Of his home town
will find it easy to form new
friendships here.
The people OF Massachusetts
who spend their summers in

will have a special affection for
these boys who have come from
Maine to receive their training
here.

HAVE YOU SECURED
YOUR POULTRY LICENSE?

Orono, Me. July 29.-The Presi-
dents proclamation of May a. re-
quiring the licensing of those engaged
in certain lines of business, including
operators of poultry and egg pack
ing plants not already licensed by the
United States Food Administration,
has been misunderstood by some of
those affected.
Under the classification. anyone
who sells poultry or eggs in any other
way than at retail to the consumer,
regardless of the amount of business
done. must he licensed.
There are many country storekeep-
ers whose business is mostly retail
selling. but who buy eggs and some
times poultry from the farmers. They
have never considered themselves as
operators of poultry and egg packing
plants, but in reality that is what
they are. The fact that they are in
the retail business on too small a
scale TO require a retailers license
does not alter the case In order to
comply with the law they must fill
out blanks to be obtained from the
United States Food Administration
and have licenses issued,
