Not long ago the employees of the
Bridgeport munition factories went out
on a strike. The men refused to work
for the wages fixed by the War Labor
board after an investigation and consid-
Grafton. President Wilson told the strik-
'ers that unless they returned to work and
accepted the wage award they would be
debarred from employment for year and
draft boards would be instructed to reject
any claims for exemption by reason of
their usefulness in war work. The work.
men in the plant of the Smith & Wesson
Co. of Springfield also struck and the
plant was promptly taken over by the
government which put the workmen in
the work or fight class. This action by
Mr. Wilson was not only entirely proper
but the promptness with which it was
taken vastly added to it's effectiveness.

Playing Safe.

"We have the problem of maintaining
the men in that line and back of that line.
We must not run any risk. There must
be no narrow margins. We must build
up reserves here against the lean years.
We must see that there is plenty over
there and that no matter what happens
to shipping in any month they are safe,
says DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur of the United
States Food Administration.
The recent wheat crisis is past. But
the need of saving is still here. Reserves
must BE built up Americas bread should
be no whittier than that of the Allies. We
must share and share alike.
It has been agreed that the wheat bread
of the Allies shall contain 20 per cent OF
other grains than wheat. To meet this
and to build up a reserve stock against
any forthcoming emergency, at home or
abroad, the following wheat regulations
have been formulated.
Where straight wheat flour is sold by
retailers, 20 per cent of other cereal flours
must be sold at the same time.
All bakers bread shall contain 2O per
cent of other cereals
Millers and dealers are encouraged to
sell "Victory Mixed Flour which is to
be labelled with the ingredients IN the
order of their proportion. These mixed
flours may be sold without substitutes but
at no advance in price over wheat flour.
This program conscientiously and pa
triotically carried out will insure COM
mon loaf for all and safe and sane con-
ServatiOn of wheat

THE FUTURE OF THE W. c. T. U.


That the occupation of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union will not be
gone after national constitutional pro-
hibition has been secured is clearly made
known in the letter Miss Anna A. Cor
don, national president of the organiza-
ton, is sending to every State w. c. t.
U. convention assembling this fall. She
says:
Some of cur friends, not close students
of the temperance reform, are short
sighted enough to say that with the Sc
curing of nation wide prohibition through
ratification of the federal amendment,
the work of the W. C. 7. U. will be &C
complished and our activities should be
directed into other channels. On the
contrary, we believe we may rightly
claim that our greatest constructive work
will then begin. Our educational propa-
ganda under the new conditions of ma
tion-wide prohibition will become even
more necessary than in the past. All our
educational lines of work that concern
young people and boys and girls should at
once receive our whole hearted, vigorous
attention. The children of today must
hold the rohibtory law tomorrow. Gen
erous investments of time, money and
and children of this nation will alone give
US the desired results The appetite for
alcoholic liquors and the avarice of the
would-be liquor dealer will not become
extinct when this nation wide law be-
comes operative. Locally we shall con-
tnue to be in offensive and defensive
struggles with the direst foe of the child
and the home; our best efforts will be
- halr fol ,hctit tint
the saloon and to aid in the election of
officials committed to the new law and to
it's strict enforcement. Our program Of
goes into effect will have new and vital
features and we should be alert in our
preparedness With added time and
funds at our command, our fascinating
and compelling lines of service among
foreign speaking people; on behalf of
moral education; child welfare; the well
fare of women in industry; the education
of women voters; anti-narcotics, anti
vice and many other important depart
ments, can be pushed with new zeal and
helpfulness.
At the coming meeting of our National
Executive Committee in Evanston, Hi
nois, November 18th to 18th inclusive,
we hope to have all needed time for the
discussion of the new program, the en-
larged opportunities, and the exalted out
look that will be ours with the coming of
nationwide prohibition July 1, 1919.
There will be many new inspratlonal
lines of activity to suggest coincident
to the establishment of dry nation, and
to our duty with regard to the interna-
tional phases of temperance effort during
and after the war. True to it's character
as a pioneer, the W. C. T. U. will forge
ahead in the social service activities OF
the new dry nation and in its mighty
national and international program"

The Reed amendment to the United
States laws relating to transportation of
articles from one State to another, pro-
hibited interstate shipments of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes into
dry States. The Federal Courts have
made two decisions which nullify the
Reed amendment and the government
has appealed both cases to the United
States Supreme Court. In one of these
ca ses the lower court held that the law
did not forbid the transportation of in
toxicating liquors through dry state,
the destination being wet state. In
the second case the court held that the
law applied only to liquors intended for
trade and not to liquors for personal use.
The higher court has been urged to give
an early decision in both cases. If the
d decisions of the lower court are overruled
that will be decisive victory for prohi-
Dition. If the decision of the lower
court is affirmed there will be another
amendment" which will stop the trans
portation of booze. A very large major
ity of the people of the United States
have made up their minds that dissipa-
tion and intoxication are evils which
m ust be suppressed.

BEGINNING TO REALIZE.

Recent dispatches from the German
cities indicate that the German people
are becoming seriously worried about the
conduct of the war. If this. is so, it is
because they have been shaken out of
their apathy by the reports of the Allied
advances. Until lately it seemed that
the plain people in Germany had become
apathetic. Being unable to puzzle out
the real facts of the war, they had stopped
trying to think at all.
"a brooding fear has settled over the
German Masses" wrote the Amsterdam
correspondent of the New York World a
short time ago ''They have grown ut
terly Indifferent" Another writer says:
"They have become so dulled that they
pay no more attention to the clash of
arms than they would to the ticking of
familiar clock"
''They have grown utterly Indifferent, :"
largely caused by the intellectual barrier
which has been built up around Germany
by the imperial censorship. Real news
has been reaching the people not at all,
or only in a doctored and falsified form.
Not until the great wall of silence around
Germany has been battered down will the
Teutonic people re- awake to take place
IN the circ'e of enlightened nations

If you have backache, urinary troubles,

These are often the symptoms of weak
kidneys and there is grave danger in de-

shop, so Union street, Belfast, says: 81

four years and tried most everything to
get relief, but nothing did me particle
of good until used Doan's Kidney Pills,

MR. CREEL ONCE MORE.

George H. Doran Company, reputable
publishing company, has printed volume
entitled 1.-TWO Thousand Questions and
Answers About the War" This book
had the laudatory Endorsement of George
Creel, the irrepressible child in President
Wilson's official family, who closed his
,eulogy of the book by saying: 1.-The Two
Thousand Questions and Answers, in my
opinion, constitute a vital part of the
National defense" DR.. Claude H. Van
Tyne, head of the department of history
in Michigan University and who is edl-
torial director of the National Security
League said of the book: 'In my
opinion it is a masterpiece of pro-Ger-
man propaganda" LOO copies of the
book had gone to the market when fur
Their publication or sale was forbidden.
The facts we have stated are taken from
the Congressional Record of Sept. II.
1919 The book is so palpably pro-Ger-
man that it could do little harm, but the
fact that Mr.. Creel is permitted to con-
tinue his career as official censor and
ella Dorator, is rather discouraging to peo-
pie who have desire for the plain and
IN adulterated truth.

Half the textile capacity of the coun-
try is said to be employed on government
work In consequence the civilian de-
mand for fabrics is outrunning the supply.
Iron and steel production and markets
were never so active as now, but prices
are prohibitive for building construction
by private interests During a recent
trip from Belfast through Waterville,
Augusta, Hallowell and Gardiner, thence
across country to Lewiston and Auburn,
we saw but one new building in process
of construction and that was on the
grounds of Bates College in Lewiston.
Continuing the trip to Boston we failed
to see a single new building going up
either on the route or in Boston. An
architect friend in that city who had a
good pre-war business has closed his
rooms and gone into government employ.
Scarcity of labor and high prices both
for labor and material are the reasons
assigned for these conditions. Materials
for building will be costly for some years,
therefore we look for a slow revival OF
new construction of either factories or
residences.

ordination and consolidation of ia
cilities and improved methods of handling
traffic, put into effect in the Eastern dis
trict since the government took over the
railroads, have resulted in an estimated
annual saving of approximately $50, OOO,-
600.
We clip the above from Washington
dispatch Not long ago we read that
government ownership of railroads up to
Sept. list had resulted in deficit of $780,
O0O, 900. We do not know whether either
of the above statements were put out
from the office of director general McAdoo
or from the IMAGINATION of newspaper
reporter. We do know that it costs the
traveller more to journey for business or
pleasure and that much higher rate is
collected for the carrying of freight. The
people back home are not making any
money out of the change of management
of railroads They regard the taking OF
the railroads as being necessary war
measure, and it is entirely reasonable to
suppose that there will be deficit be-
cause of conditions which no man can
control. The increase in wages to en-
ployees and the increase of rates were
necessary. Our people submit cheerfully
to war conditions, but some day they will
want an authoritative statement of the
balance sheet and will want to see the
profit and loss account.

IN politics, Mr.. Henry Ford of auto
mobile fame, does not seem to know
vphe4her he is con foot or horseback. ="
Vie was nominated by the primaries as
+be democratic candidate for U. S. sena-
Tor from Michigan. He was also can
d;date for the same office on the Repub-
lican urinary ballot, but the Republicans
Hid not take kindly to man who tried to
face both North and South at the same
time, About week ago the Democrats
,of Michigan held State convention. Mr.
Ford did not take the trouble to attend it.
Instead, he sent letter as his donation
TO the 'feast of reason and the flow OF
Soul. - in which he said that although he
was their candidate he did not intend to
ne hound by any party considerations,
Dem ocratic or Republican. He also said
~ hold myself free to support such
measures, whatever their origin, as COM
mend themselves to my judgment for the
best interests of all the people" The
convention pledged complete support to
Mr.. Ford We suppose MIR. Ford and the
Democrats of Michigan consider this per-

wheat Breeding.
A.,d;e. at Aroostook Farm.

The object of this work is to secure
wheat Of GOOD quality. The quality OF
wheat il principally determined by the
milling or flour yield and the flour
strength, The flour strength is closely
correlated with the gluten content OF
wheat and is measured by the volume
and texture of the bread loaf produced
from the flour. The majority OF Aroos-
took grown varieties of wheat develop
soft grain producing flour OF inferior
grade. Wheats imported from the north
west after one seasons growth IN ARGOS.
took lose their character of hardness.
These conditions have led the Maine Az
ricultural Experiment Station to under
take definite breeding work with wheat
at Aroostook Farm. The principal aim
of this work is to secure hard wheat
that would maintain its hardness under
Aroostook conditions. The methods fol-
lowed in this work include pure line Sc
lections and hybridization work.
Since the imported northwestern
wheats showed such rapid deterioration
and lack of adaptation it was thought ad-
visable to confine the selection work
chiefly to Maine grown varieties OF
wheat. In 1915 large number OF plants
were selected from commercial wheat
varieties grown at Aroostook Farm as
well as on several farms in the county,
The seed from individual wheat ears was
planted in garden rows in 1916 giving rise
to about 800 pure lines of wheat. The
seed of each row was harvested separate
ly and tested in the laboratory with
grain tester for hardness. About loO
pure lines were retained and continued IN
duplicate /. 1000 acre plots in 1917. Each
of the pure lines grown in 1917 furnished
enough seed so that protein analyses
could be made with each line. Inc
analyses show marked variation in the
protein content which, however, is gen
orally quite high. Using these analyses
and the field notes as basis further
scrutiny of these pure lines of wheat Will
be made and the inferior strains ellmlnat-
ed. Several of these lines are very prom.
Using and are being propagated IN l,8o
acre plots in 1918. 1t is expected that a
sufficient yield will be had to make
small baking as well as other laboratory
tests possible.
1t is of interest to note that the most
promising strains represent selections
from Maine grown wheats In the hy--
bridization work with wheat, several
crosses have been made between hard
northwestern and Aroostook grown hlgh
yielding wheats Some of these are also
promising.

Mr.. Redfeld, Secretary OF Commerce,
strongly recommends the construction OF
a canal system of deep sea canals from
Massachusetts to the South Atlantic
States, and says: ''The time for action
has Gomez A ship canal has been dug
across Cape Cod and is in daily use. This
shortens the distance of navigation be-
tween Boston and eastern ports to New
York city and Southern ports and de-
creases the danger of shipwreck. 1t also
often lessons the discomforts OF passen-
ger traffic especially in stormy weather.
Another canal can be built connecting
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, and ex-
tensions of the system further south are
feasible. The desirability of having such
a canal system is admitted, but we do
not think it necessary or wise to divert
man power and money just now to the
building of canals. We have quite Job
of digging inn over in France which is
keeping us busy, and the country will
not agree with Mr.. Redfield's suggestion
that the time for digging canals has come.
