Fishing Chief Occupation.

"In peace times the chief occupation
of the people of Kola is fishing. which
is profitably followed by the natives
from May to August.
..Kola Is well within the Arctic cir
Gle. being in latitude 6S:52. 1t is 335
miles northwest of Archangel, the
great White sea port of Russia.
1.-The peninsula of Kola constitutes
the major part Of what is known as
Russian Lapland. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Arctic ocean and on the
south by the White sea. Its area equals
that Of the state of New York and Is
largely a plateau. having an average
elevation of 1000 feet. The Arctic shore,
extending a distance of 260 miles, is
known as the Murman coast "a corrup-
ton of ''Norman"). It presents rug
ged appearance, with cliffs rising
a abruptly from the sea to a height OF
nearly 700 feet in many places. There
are several indentations. however.
where excellent anchorage may be
found, and one of these breaks in the
granite line is Kola bay.

is not gift but an achievement. Un-
selfshness is not let down from Heaven
but sprouts from the soil of the soil
thru long cultivation. If we give our
selves to the care of goodness then its
harvest is sure in our lives. Christ
could say, II do always those things
which please Him." and out of such
sowing came the life of our Lord. Hun
dreds of the youths of China are in our
schools as the result of bit of simple
justice. Our break with Germany was
followed by her declaration of war.
Thru all her perilous days she looked to
US for help and understanding of her
difficulties and the attitude was the re-
suit of the sowing of men like Bash
ford and John Hay and others who
practiced the law of Christ. For a man
or a nation the result is as certain as
the sun; the sowing of good will bring
its kindred harvest. This is the hope
of the Gospel and the cheer of every
hard pressed soul DESTROYS of being like
its Lord.

Tip BURN" NOT A DISEASE
Is Attacking Potatoes This Year
and Doing Damage.

Tip burn" and not blight, is caus-
ing most of the trouble at the present
time.
Mr.. c. E. Temple, the State Plant
Pathologist and County Agent Middle
ton visited quite number of the po-
tato fields in Garrett county the past
week. The deadning of the vines, as
in most cases, is being caused by what
is known as tip burn. This is not a dis
ease, but is condition brought about
by dry, hot weather at the time the
potatoes are settling their tubers. 1t
was noticed that the tip burn did more
damage to the potatoes that were hill
ed up than it did on potatoes where
level cultivation was practiced. 1t was
also noticed that the early plants suf-
fered more than the later plants.
Mr.. Temple advises that potatoes for
general crop IN this county should not
be planted before the latter part of
May or early in June. Potatoes will

time of the setting of the tubels.
You can distinguish between tip burn
and blight by the fact that tip burn
works around the edges of the leaves
while blight spreade all over the leaves
from the source of infection. In tip
burn top leaves are. first infected while
in blight the bottom leaves are the first
to become infected
Spraying will not prevent tip burn to
any marked extent especially after the
damage has been done. We note on
the demonstration potatoes, south of
Oakland, in most cases the SPRAYED
rows did not seem to be quite as badly
effected by the tip burn as the check
rows.

the writer of that article was talking,
spoke of what would happen after the
war. He knew of the strategical, po-
litical and inventive developments. He
knew of the air warfare and of the Hun
attacks upon London and other cities by
Zeppelins, of the sub warfare and spoke
of the moral effect upon the British
people of massacres of non combatants.
But, the writer asked. where does
Christianity come in in a scheme of
Germany crushing without quarrel
small, weak country that she is pledged
protectress of, or in killing civilians,
men, women and children? Come! Ger
many is great Christian nation and
Here he was interrupted by the officer
who said, 'you talk of moral wrong"
The new Germany does not recognize
moral force, but only physical. You speak
of Christianity. 1t shows my friend, you
neither know Germany, nor have read
our great modern German writers. Chris
tianity is out worn in Germany. We Ger
mans. despise it. 1t is an alien eastern re-
ligion that has been grated upon
Europe. 1--WE are creating our own
religion, of physical and material force.
You English think our Emperor bias
phemous when he calls upon God and
claims Him as an Ally. But He is not
your God. He is German God we
create for ourselves. All true Ger
mans disdain the teachings of Christi
anitv, its meekness and humanity. The
only religion we recognize is that might
is right and that the strong shall take
from the weak. 1t is the Kaiser's re-
ligion; it is the religion of all our pro-
fessors."
We may not wonder that the English
man was dumbfounded; that he could
scarcely think that his cafe acquaintance
spoke seriously. He and we all have
learned that he spoke the sentiment of
Germanv's lords. 1t was an eye opener,
cruel shaking up; nasty discovery
that Germany is out. as he said, mot
only against the old order of human
civilization. but against the Christian
religion. Can such power, with such
motive become world conquerors?
NotEso long as the God of justice and
right sits on the throne; not so long as
Jesus the true and only King is on the
throne, waiting the opportune moment
to establish his kingdom.

1t stands for War Savings Stamps.
1t also stands for I'VE shall succeed -
The fact that the sale of W. S. S.
is limited to 81, 200 to any individual
proves how Government financiers re-
gard war savings stamps as an invest
ment.
They know that they are 80 attrac-
tive to men of great wealth that they
would be tempted to buy them in large
quantities. Four per cent. is big inter
est. 1t is an allurlng return.
W. S. S. are better than cash, because
they draw interest from the time of
purchase and because the money they
represent is equally available.
The owner of one or two hundred
savings stamps can take them to any
bank or postoffice and get the cash they
represent without delay
Undoubtedly many know this, but
many others do not. and it is the duty
of those who are informed to post those
who are not.
Buy war saving stamps and thrift
stamps up to your full capacity and use
all your influence to get everybody else
to do the same.

to have the revised list up-to-date
and accurate so that relatives of men
in the service should furnish the
bureau, or Rev. Mr.. Fiske personally,
with all new addresses received, and
in this way the official addresses may
be checked up.
If the people Of the town will CO.

time will be saved and it will help to
prevent letters being missed in cases
where service men have been trans

the War Bureau will be sent to men
overseas as we'll as to those on this

of the service is represented in the

work are confident that the plan will
prove highly successful.

The dead hand clasped a letter.
Here, in this leafy place
Quiet he lies.
Cold, with his sightless face
Turned to the skies;
'Tis but another dead.
All you can say is said.
Carry his body hence.
Kings must have slaves;
Kings climb 10 emincnco
Over mems graves,
SO this mans eye is dim
: Throw the earth over him.
What was the white you touched
There at his side?
Paper his hand had clutched;-
Tight ere he died.
Message or wish may be-
Smooth the folds out and see.
Hardly the worst of us
Here could have smiled
Only the tremulous
Words of a child
Prattle, that has for stops
Just a. few ruddy drops
Look. She is said to miss
y Morning and night,
His--her dead father's-kiss -
Tries to be bright.
Good to mamma and sweet.

All, if beside the dead
Slumbered the pain!
All, if the hearts that bled
Slept with the slain!
If the grief died;-but no.

! that showed better than anything else
i how completely the enemy had been

in a column of tours into and through
the town of Berry. The men were

| British troops are steadily advancing
| eastward astride the road from Cam

north of Cambria has been passed vir-

far behind. In the fighting south of
Cambria the British have cleared the
enemy from the last line of the Hin
denburg system, which in this locality
was extraordinarily strong.
Many French civilians have been
rescued from captured towns. Five
hundred were brought back to free
dom in one town alone.
1t was soon after the Germans
broke and ran that fires began to
break out in the whole district behind
them and the ground rocked with ter
rife explosions as stores of ammuni-
ton were destroyed. Everything COM
bustible in the area around Caudry,
Inchy, lie Cateau, st. Benin, st. Soup

fired and since then towns and farms

and south. Airmen have reported
