Rows In Reserve at home.

The boy whose home is on the farm
Ia likely to suffer an injustice in years t.
come If he fails now to procure the
testimonial to bis patriotism that Is
freely offered him by Uncle Sam. There
is coming time when the boys OF today
will be asked what they were doing to
help win the war while their big brothers
were fighting In France. Then the man
of tomorrow will show with pride the
badge that he won through bis member.
ship in the Boys Working Reserve. It
will be his certificate of patriotism.
Uncle Sam is anxious that the boy who
stays at home and works on his fathers
farm should have bis badge as we'll as
the city boy who goes out into the
country to help in the raising of war
time crops. He is q wise old gentleman,
10 Uncle Sam, and he knows that the
time will come when those badges will
be highly priced. And the boy who is
already on the farm is as much entitled
to badge as will be the boy who
volunteers from the city.
But the boy on the farm cannot get
badge unless be enrolls in the United
States Boys Working Reserve. He must
enlist In the Reserve and become one OF
the great army of boys who will fight in
the burrows of the field while the bigger
boys fight in the trenches. 1t costs the
boy nothing to enroll. 1t puts him only
to the trouble of signing the card. 1t
does not interfere with bis remaining on
the home farm. 1t gives nobody the
power to say be shall leave home. What
it does do is to give him standing as q
recognized worker in his cOuntry's
cause. It puts him in line to receive the
badge which Uncle Sam will give him
after he has worked six weeks. Principals
of high schools and academies through.
out the state are acting as recruiting
agents for the Reserve. They have the
enrolment cards for the boys to sign.

On the afternoon OF Saturday. June 8,
1918, the wonderful spectacle OF . total
solar eclipse will be visible, weather
permitting, over track extending from
the Pacific (Washington) to the Atlantic
Florids). This track OF the moons
shadow IL 70 miles wide at the western
coast, narrowing to 40 miles In Florida.
For about an hour the moon will
gradually encroach upon the SUMS disk.
the daylight will fade, then the narrow.
ing crescent of tho sun will suddenly dis
appear, and around the jet black ball
of the moon, hanging In the north
western sky among the brighter stars,
will be seen the pearly radiance OF the
Mysterious solar corona. The remark
able spectacle may be enjoyed for 122
seconds at the western coast, and for
about half that time In Florida. Then
the crescent Of the sun will appear on
the other westerly side of the moon,
and after another hour the full disk OF

Water Powers
in Maine

During the last seven ve,,.
there has been completed ths
great Aziscohos Dam on ths
Magalloway River, which storss
up nine and one-half billion
cubic feet of water, thereby in
creasing the minimum flow n
the Androscoggin River more
than 100 percent. The cost
of this development was s..
100000.
On the West Branch Of
Penobscot River, the great
Ripogenus Dam has been
built which impounds the enor.
nous quantity of twenty-five
billion cubic feet of water and
which has added wonderfully
to the efficiency Of all water |
powers on that river. The
cost of this improvement was
more than 100000. These
two developments will gen.
crate when needed more than
10000 horse power.
At Rumford Falls, there is
being developed added power
to theamountof 1900 h. o.
and at a cost of over $1,000.
900.
On the Saco River, during
this period there has been
completed two of the largest
water power developments on
the river, namely at Benny
Eagle and at Hiram, where the
present installment Of water
wheels equals 5000 h. P, and
with a reserve when needed Of
1900 h. p. at a cost of s2,ooo,.
600.
At Grand Falls, on the St.
Croix River, there has been
developed by the St. Cron
Paper Company 5000 h. ?,
with an added reserve capacity
of 1900 h. p. The expenditure
at this development was more
than 81 1000, 900.
The Central Maine Power
Company is developing at
Oakland 5000 h. P. and
during the past seven
years has expended S.
100000 in increasing t. the
capacity and the efficiency OF its
plants.
The Portland and Lewiston
Interburban Railroad, in order
to use the surplus power o.
the Androscoggin Electro
Company, was built and put IN
operation during the past
seven years at a cost OF more
than 81 900, 900.
Here is a total of more than
10000 h. p. which has been
developed during the pas
seven years; one-half OF TIL:
period has been the war period
But for war conditions thelt
would have been developed
another large power on th'

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There is each spring a scarcity OF
good seed corn. This condition is all
the more regrettable, because 1t need
not exist; and 1t is much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
doUs loss to themselves and the coun-
try dueto the planting of inferior seed.
A full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection of seed corn
In the autumn.
To be first class, seed must be:
1. OF variety well adapted to the
seasonal and soil conditions where it
u to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants of a
productive variety, showing all the de-
sirable characteristics.
g. Well matured, and preserved from
