There is rumor being circulated at
the present time which will no doubt in
terfere somewhat with the food produc-
ton unless promptly contradicted. This
rumor, very much like all German propo-
ganda, starts from some source unknown
and is extremely difficult to locate.
Householders have been told by some-
body that it is the intention of the Feder-
al Government to take over all food sup
plies, such as canned yege tables and
fruits, in fact everything in the way of
food which in their judgment the repre-
sentatives of the Federal Government
think are not necessary for immediate
use. This rumor has no foundation what
ever. 1t is not the intention of the Fed
eral Government to do anything of the
kind. You can make your garden as
large as you desire, you can plant it with
anything you wish to eat or can, and you
may rest assured that the Federal Gov
ernment will not interfere with the re-
suits whatever. This rumor is put into
circulation by agents of the German Gov
ernment for the sole purpose of reducing
the food supply during the season of
1918. They well know that if they sue
ceed that it will aid them very material
ly in winning the war. For the public to
listen or to be influenced by such rumors
means that we are assisting the Ger
mans to win the war. 1t will be well
for the public to remember that the
chances are about 9 to that all rumors
of this kind are absolutely false.-O. E.
Frost, chairman of the Waldo County
Public Safety Committee.

What is life without a sweater?
Just like home without a mother-the
next thing to impossible. Besides the
comfort of them sweaters are con-
venient for the casual touch they lend
to the toilette, and they manage to
tone 1t up, or tone it down-depend-
ing on the kind Of sweater and the
manner of wearing 1t. If one has
busy day ahead and begins it by
dressing for the afternoon, the sweat
ercoat conceals the fact. And smart
sweatercoat lends character to the
piainest of morning or sports clothes.
Those who manufacture them have
turned out variety of wonderful
sweaters and sweatercOats for women
and almost as interesting an assort-
ment for men. Soft knitted wool ap-
pears to have outdistanced silk in the
race for popularity, but silk is never
theless well represented.

Fruit and Farm
Intercepts Foreign Pests.

In all, some 259 different species
OF insects and no less than 130 spe-
cjfic diseases were intercepted by in
spectors and colloborators of the Fed
eral Horticultural Board on nursery
stock imported to this country dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1917.
The insects that were intercepted in
cluded one nest of the brown-tailed
moth from France, two egg masses
of the gypsy moth from France and
England, the gold-tail moth from
Holland, an undescribed weevil in
seeds from Guatemala, a flat-head
borer in chestnuts from Japan, a
number of nests of white tree
Pierid" from France, and numerous
scale insects from various quarters
of the globe.
Some of the more important inter-
ceptions of plant diseases were citrus
canker on pomelo from China, the So
called pineapple disease on sugar
cane, also from China; a disease af-
fecting radish seed from Japan; an
other affecting the roots of fig trees
from Spain, and number of other
diseases affecting fruit trees, garden
crops and flowers.

to produce the things the government
must have.
Every yard of linen that is bought
from today on puts the buyer in di-
rect competition with the aeroplane
board in equipping the fleet of aero
planes which we hope to put over the
German lines. That should be very
plain to every one when it is known
that the need of linen for aeroplane
production exceeds the total stock
there is in the world But the same
rule applies in almost every direction
that we turn.
There can be only two reasons why
men should not see in their personal
expenditure their individual RESPONSE
bility for equipping the army. One
is belief that a fully equipped
American army is not going to be
necessary; that the war either will
be won by our allies, or it has already
heen won by the exhaustion of our
enemies. There is little in the situa-
tion upon which to base such a belief.
The other reason must be that people
believe that there are labor and ma
terials enough to produce everything
that they want for their individual
uses and everything that the govern
ment must have. Absolute blindness
to what the total is when you add
two and two is the only excuse there
can be for believing there are labor
and material enough for the individ-
ual comforts and military needs of
the country. The man who is not pre-
pared to economic today either be-
lleves there is no necessity for mill
tary preparedness or he will not look
in the face the plainest facts in re-
gard to industrial capacity. The gov
eminent has provided the easiest pos
sible road for the individual to turn
his personal sacrifice into patriotic
aid-save and buy war savings
stamps.

GOVERNMENT OFFERS
SAFE INSURANCE

To the man who has gone to the
colors the United States government
c.fers the safest, the most liberal and
the cheapest insurance on the face
Of the earth approximately 800, 900
men have already accepted the gov
ernment's offer, applying for insur-
ance of about two and three-quarter
billions of dollars. The average
amount applied for per man is more
than $4,000, which is very close to
the $4,000 maximum provided for
by the law.
This insurance total. great as It Is,
should be only a beginning. Every
person in the military and naval
forces of the nation owes to himself

Of the full insurance protection. But

FLYERS AT FRONT
BADLY HANDICAPPED
(By Frank A. Vanderlip.)

Hardly a day passes but there is
some fresh illustration of the inabil-
ity on the part OF governments to buy
with money something essential for
war preparation. We are now discov-
ering that there is not linen enough
in the world to cover the aeroplanes
that the allies are producing. The
English government has just decided
tDat at least 10000 acres of English
soil must be devoted to the produc..
ton of flax instead of food. That
government is making terms with the
farmers which will lead to the plant
ing of that crop.
The illustrations are endless of the
fact that there are not labor and ma
terials enough to produce the things
tnat the people want and the things
that the government wants. There
are two ways of helping solve the
problem. One is to speed up produc-
ton and industry. The other is to
cut down unnecessary consumption
BY the latter method every one can
put himself in an effective way in a
front trench. Every one can make
sacrifices that will be reflected in a
quicker and better equipment of arm.

by speeding up production can be
exceeded many fold by the effect
which can be produced by a whole ma.

equipping the army would be easil,

POULTRY NOTES
Save the Hens.

Every pullet and young hen SOLO
for food this winter means reduc-
sion of from five to twelve dozen eggs
in the potential egg supply OF next
spring and summer.
Hundreds Of thousands of farmers
who have not raised poultry will do
90 next spring and summer-re-
sponding to the demand for more
chickens and eggs so that beef and
pork will be released to help win the
war. They will need young hens
The United States Department OF
agriculture urges the saving of fowls
Of producing qualities, so that they
may be used for stock in the early
spring.
Water Supply for Poultry.
A supply of pure drinking water
frequently renewed is as necessary
for poultry as sufficient supplies OF
food.
There are two different types OF
drinking vessels for poultry in COM
mon use: Open vessels--pails, pans,
crooks and the like; and drinking
fountains so constructed that dust
and dirt can not get into the water
except by way of very small ex-
posed surface
These quite opposite types OF
drinking vessel are about equally pop
ular with poultry keepers, Open yes
sells catch more dirt and dust but are
more easily cleaned. Closed foun-
tains may be used longer without
cleaning, but if allowed to become
foul are harder to clean thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on
a shelf foot or more above the floor
prevents the hens from scratching
coarse litter into them, but does not
keep out fine dust which floats in
the air and settles in the water
Thoroughly rinsing open vessels
once a day and scalding drinking
fountains once or twice a week will
usually keep them as clean as neces-
sary.

fore October 10, 1917, must apply for
the insurance on or before February
~. 1918. After taht, it will be too
late. The automatic insurance which
is provided until February IL, 1918,
is only partial protection.
Parents, brothers and sisters who
have a representative of their family
in the army or navy should, for their
own sake and for his, write to him
at once, urging him, if he has not
already done so, to buy the govern
ment insurance. They should urge
him to buy the full $4,000, and,
above all, to buy it now.
