In one governmental activity the

The Oaktield correspondent Of the
Houlton Times reports:
Fred Il. Corliss who bought the O..
l.. Withie farm in Sherman, raised
this year. some crops that any farm
er might well be proud of. From %
acres planted in potatoes he raised
306o barrels, an average Of 1873 bbis.
to the acre. From a measured acre
planted to Wellington's he raised Ill
barrels. On the % acres he used FL
tons Of per cent fertilizer. AL
though stationed at Fort Slocum in
the U. S. Army he came home on q
3 months furlougil and harvested his
crop and on his return he was sent to
Camp Forrest. Ca. where he now is.
A howl of protest has gone up from
the Eggemosgin reach and B!uehill
bay towns at the announcement that
boat service from Rockland was to be
discontinued for the winter. says the
Ellsworth American. whicircontinues:
1t is understood that the Boston Ban
gor and Rockland- Bar Harbor routes
the only means of communication to
many Of the Hancock county coast
towns. and a taste Of what is in store
for them was given by the ice en-
barge last winter. when freight had to
be hauled long distances from Ellis
worth over almost impossible roads.
1t looks like an opportunity for some
wide awake men to establish auto
truck and iitney routes from Els
worth. In many sections Of the coun-
try where there is as much or more
snow than here, roads are kept open
to automobile traffic by breaking
down the snow with large rollers built
for the purpose. These rollers, some
twelve feet wide, go over the roads
after each snowfall, light or heavy,
crushing down the snow. 1t is stated
that roads so treated bear the traffic
Of ten-ton trucks. except in thaw-
ins weather.

The cariilons
(Marion Couthouy Smith of The Vigi
lantes)
In Belgium, at dawn of day,
There comes thin sound, far away,
A silver thread OF sound. that runs
Through the dark thunder OF the guns
Like the soft tread of ghostly feet.
Like distant voices,-poignant, sweet
The carillons-the carillons!
In Belgium. through the silent hours.
They beat about her ruined towers,
Those wings of unforgotton song;
Like whispers of rustIing throng,
Like twitterings Of a waking bird.
Or leaves that forest winds have stirred
Ghosts Of dead 'ells-the carillons.
What wakens them? oh, watchers, say
The long night wanes, the dawn is gray
The torn roads echo with the beat
or rumbling wheels, Of marching feet,
And, through the darkness. sudder
CLEANS
Flame TO that music of old Dreams
The oarillons-the Carillons!
What are those red and golden bars
That kinlle in the dusk like stars,
There-where the mad invaders flee?
The flags of Belgium, rising free!
Soon their full glory shall unfold;
And soon. though softlier than of old,
Clear tones shall ring.
Sad hearts shall sing
The carillonS-the carillons.

Missing Disease Report
Blocks Exemption Claim.
Franklin County Draftee's Physician
hadn't reported to State Health
Department the tuberculosis Case
he certified to the Draft Board.

Columbus, Feb. %. Ohio men of
draft age who are victims of tuber-
culosis and are seeking exemption
because of the disease would do well
to make certain that their cases have
been reported to the State Department
of Health, as required by law
An instance of the Importance of
having this record on file has just come
to light in Franklin County. A Canal
Winchester man asked to be put into
Class 5 on the ground that he was in
an advanced stage of tuberculosis, and
presented physicians certificate to
support his claim.
The draft board proceeded to ask the
State Department of Health if the
claimant was on record as a tuber-
culosis sufferer. The Department
found that such a case had not been
Information to that effect has been
furnished the draft board and the ply
sician who certified to the mans dis
eased condition has been called upon
for an explanation. The circumstances
according to the department of health
show that the physician has either
issued a false certificate, or has failed
to obey the law which requires tuber-
culosis cases to be reported.
It is not yet known what action the
draft board will take on the applica
tion for exemption.
