Chairman Tebbetts

Leon O. Tebbetts of Waterville, the
chairman Of the Democratic State
committee, Saturday made the fol-
lowing statement
II feel that Bertrand G. McIntire
of Norway, the Democratic nominee
for governor, will be elected by ma
jority between 5000 and 5000 and that
the Legislature will be controlled by
the Democrats. l also look for the
election Of Elmer f. Newbert Of Au-
gusta as United States senator and
the election of Lucius z. SWEET OF
Sanford and Daniel ]. McGillicuddy
of Lewiston. the Democratic nomi-
nees for Congress in the First and
Second districts respectively. We
have conducted our campaign in a
dignified manner and have only tried
to present such issues as could be
substantiated by the facts
Il have elieved ever since the be-
ginning Of the campaign that the
people Of Maine could not do a more
patriotic duty than support our can
didates at this time, for on next Mon
day, it will be the first expression OF
100, coo, 900 people since our entrance
into the war with Germany, and as
we are government by parties
there is no other way to endorse the
present administration than by elect
ing candidates who are friendly and
in SYM athy with the President. IL
is true that our RepublicaT senators
ard members of Congress from
Maine have been patriotic and in
great many cases have supported the
President. but that isn't any more
than they should do under the pres
ent conditions. for unless man Is
patriotic at this time, he should have
no place in our standing

Why should we mourn because sweet
days
Have fed beyond our eyes?
All life is ours, in which TO grow and
Rise TO Paradise.
Ahead OF US there lie the shores
Where purple mountains gleam:-
Ahead OF us. the city fair
That John saw in a dream.
If we have suffered on llfes way
The throes that rend the heart
Have we not gained the faith and
strength
From which we would not part?
Have we not gained the wisdom sough.
AS we drank draughts of pain?
And through our mortal griefs and
cares
Climbed to higher plane?
This is an age-more splendid far
Than age of Renaissance!
We hear the cannon boom and boom
Upon the Fields of France,
On bloody battleields today
We see a New Life shine;
And from the blood Of those who fall
There springs Hope Divine,
To Live, it is to think and feel
For Life is more than breath,
Life means to dare-perchance TO fall
Encounter all-even Death.
Life means to ride the crest, to sink
In burrows of the seas,
To lose our life-to find our life
In changing days like these
Then while we live . let US live
Sharing mems Joy and Woe.

Speaking Of bees, say The Way
farer in the Pennington Journal,
there has been a decided decrease i'll
their culture during the past few
years. For year or two they did
not winter well and in a succeeding
season there vas great lack of sum
mer feeding. Then came the sugar
shortage AMI one by one the hives
were emptied and attention was paid
TO other more profitable vocatiCns.
This decrease in bees shows how one
industry is dependent upon another,
for it has been demonstrated that
many OF our garden vegetables have
suffered greatly BY the lack Of aces
for -pollination, especially the
rqua shes, pumpkins and cucumbe $.
Talking with a man who mas made
something Of a specially OF sQuashes
in many past years, he sad that he
vas sure that the decrease in the
swarmS Of bees had seriously de-
creased his product Of that vegetable
and he longed 70 see the time wh?'
men would have the courage to go
into the bee business again on a
large scale. He says that the lack Of
sugar for feeding is a great handi-
cap, for the bees in recent years have
not been able to collect sufficient
nectar in the summer to last them
through the winter and leave any
thing in the supers for the apiarist.
Furthermore, experience has shown
him that the bees will keep up an
everlasting swarning during nectar
time. which reduces the quantity u
honey appreciably. II is estimated
that it requires AGO pounds Of honey
10 maintain a colony for one year, so
if they make 40 pounds the owner
gets one-ninth of the product.
Tanning G0ff Maloney. musician
in the orchestra at the Strand thea
ter, Portland, is in possession Of an
interesting and valuable copy of the
warrant signed by the judges Of the
high court of England for the execu-
ton % Charles I. who was beheaded
in January. 1913. Mr.. Maloney was
given this valuable document Sept I
by friends who found it in a trunk
down in the eastern part Of Maine.
Mr.. Malonev traces his ancestry back
to William Golf, who was one Of the
So high judges and who signed the
death warrant. Prominent among the
names Of the judges is that Of Oliver
Cromwell.
According to Mr. Maloney when
James came to the throne after the
death Of Charles I he sought to put
10 death all the high judges Of the
High Court of England who had any
thing to do with the affair and he
succeeded with the only exceptions
of Edward Whalley and William
Golf who fed to this country and
settled here. The warrant is very
old and contains the peculiar writ
ing Of that time. All the 50 names OF
the judges Of the High Court IF Eng
land appear on the warrant in their
own handwriting and beside them
their seals. Mr.. Maloney plans to
have the copy framed and will prove
n most valuable document.

HOW TO
CAN
Berries.


For dewberries, blackberries. 10
ganberries, huckleberries, raspber-
ries, and currants practically the
same methods of canning may be
used. The condition Of the fruit
Will have much to do with the
quality of the product. Berries
should be gathered in shallow
trays or baskets and not in deep
vessels which allow them to be
bruised and crushed. They should
be uniformly ripe, sound, as as
large as possible.
After the berries have been
sorted carefully and washed light
ly by placing in a colander and
pouring water over them, Instead
of immersing them in water, pack
as closely as possible without
crushing. This can be done better
by putting a few berries into the
jar. pressing them gently into
place, and proceeding layer by lay
er, than by nearly filling the jar
loosely and then trying 10 press
them down.
Fill jars full of fruit and cover
with hot sirup. Boiling berry
juice or other sirups can be used
instead Of sugar sirup. Partially
seal jars. Boil (process) pints 10
minutes and quarts II minutes.
Seal. When cold test for leaks
and store in cool, dark, Cry place.
The use of sugar sirup, made
by boiling pounds and ounces
of sugar to one gallon of water
and straining. adds to the flavor Of
the canned berries. The use Of
berry juice expressed from extra
berries instead of water in making
the strip will give a richer color
and flavor.-U. S. Department of
Agriculture.
