NEiGHsoRHooo CLUBS.

In many cities and towns In the
State of Maine there are neighbor-
hood or community clubs which in
ciude the churches and other organi-
nations, temperance or fraternal
meeting regularly and considering all
sorts of matters touching the neigh
borhood welfare. These clubs have
been giving a good deal Of attention
to food conservation. as their pro-
grams show. The result has been
helpful. and it is noteworthy that
where these neighborhood clubs have
taken an active interest in food and
other patriotic questions, there the
pastors Of the churches have paid at
tention to the matter from the pulpit.
The neighborhood club speaks well
for the enterprise and the spirit Of
the neighborhood. One of these clubs
that has had war kitchen, reports
an awakening interest not only In
regard to food conservation but in
everything connected with the vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the war.

MEAT CONSUMPTION.

The United States Food Adminis-
tration is extremely DESTROYS of Sc
curing voluntary reduction in the
consumption of meat to provide
sufficient, supplies for the army and
Allies and thus avoid reintroduction
of the meatless days.
There is now a seasonal shortage
of meat and the shipment of live
stock to the market will steadily de-
cline for the next few months, max
ing it imperative that conservation
measures be taken If the needs Of
the army and the Allies are to be
met.
The necessities for shipment abroad
to our army and our Allies are very
large and amount to roughly 10000
600 pounds of meat and meat pro-
ducts of all kinds per week against
pre-war normal of less than $4,000
600 pounds.

Dear Aunts. Aadoe and other N.B.s.
In the disastrous FIRE that occurred at South
Deer Isle few weeks ago was burned a
relic of olden times, barn which must have
been nearly $50 years old. My grand
father, stephen Babbidge, had an extensive
farm, and the barn must have been built
when he was young man. He died in ls4I,
aged eighty-two years. After that the farm
came into his sons hands. The son repaired
it more than seventy years ago. Then his
nephew took possession, and sold it TO Seth
Hatch. The barn has stood all these years.
until this winter the roof was blown of and
the big doors, but the frame was apparently
Just good as ever.

Dear Mutual Friends:

Dear Mutual Friends:
i am aware that there will be another

day occurs, but as that day will come so
soon after the paper is printed, am Civ
ing you this week, Memorial day poem
furnished by "Did." We fully realize
that the wishes expressed in the fourth

this season when the world is in the
throes of a mighty conflict, we will not
forget the boys of 81 who gave their all
for their country. 1t is the grandsons of
many of those veterans Who are in the
conflict to-day, filed with tue same
patriotic spirit which inspired their an
cestors to stand firm for principles OF
justice and right.
The boys in the army to-day have, ever
since their remembrance, watched the old
soldiers once year march TO the cemetery
to decorate the graves OF their comrades
Many OF them followed those men, grasp
ing their bouquets OF flowers, and added
their little gifts to the others, as with
their schoolmates they took part in the

them in patriotism. Il doubt not that on
the thirtieth of May this year, many of
those lads, now far away in their country's
service, will. in memory see the little flags
and the wreaths OF flowers, and the
marching veterans; and the fact that the
heroic deeds and the sacrifices for great
and worthy cause were valued and re-
membered may strengthen their own
hearts and give them encouragement in
these trying times.
