REscRIPT RECEIVED

IN Somerset Go. Case, Harold E.
Smith VS.. Somerset Traction Co.
A rescript from the law court in
the Somerset county case, Harold E.
Smith VS.. the Somerset Traction Co..
has been received at the office Of the
clerk Of courts of Kennebec county.
This rescript which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish reads
as follows:
In an action to recover damages
caused to the plaintiffs motor sprink-
ling truck, driven by his servant, by
collision with a car of the defendant,
the jury having returned a verdict
for the plaintiff, it is held:
l. That the drivers own negligence
in turning directly on to the track
Of the defendant without using rea-
sonable efforts to discover whether
a car was approaching precludes re-
covery. His conduct was not that of
a reasonably prudent man concerned
for his own safety.
2. The last clear chance doctrine
does not apply. The drivers negli-
gence actively continued from its
commencement up to the moment Of
collision.
3. The verdict is so manifestly
contrary to the law and the evidence
that 1t should not stand.
Motion sustained.

AUTOMATIC" TRAIN
SERVICE IN FRANCE

American Regulating base, Advance
zone. France. Sept.-(Correspon
dence).-The automatic train Is one
of the strange devices which has
sprung out Of the war. and there Il
nothing like it In the whole range OF
railway transportation. 1t has been
developed by the American military
authorities here as one Of the neces-
stiles Of keeping up an automatic
daily supply Of food. forage and all
requirements. to every unit Of the
Expeditionary Forge in
France. To do this with unvaryiAg
regularity each day. SO that every
man in every division stretching
over q vast area along 800 miles of
front, would have his daily needs sup
piled was a huge problem.
The only solution was to secure alb
solute uniformity, or a STANDARDIZED
ton of trains by which the makeup
would be automatic day after day.
And out Of this has come the 'auto-
matte train" Of the American army.
which is one of the wonders Of Amer
lean organization.
Watching the makeup Of the "au-
tomato trains" as they go forward to
the American divisions On the fight
ing front, is like watching some gil
gantic jig-saw puzzle, for there is
the same fitting together Of confus-
ed parts, until at last all the pieces
form a complete whole of Is Of these
so-called "automatic trains" so cars

one Of the American divisions.
Here at a small interior village Of
the American Advance Force is the
center from which the automatic
trains move out daily. The place is
well forward in the advance zone.

ing to be out Of reach of hostile raids
and yet near enough to permit the
supplies to move forward with the
greatest facility.
1t was u sleepy village last Octo-
Der, with 1000 inhabitants. Today il

Last month $1,000 cars wers moves,
or over 1000 day in this stupepdous

Colonel Hilgard, commanding ON
Ger, and Captain Bigger, regulating
officer, explained the details of these
automatic trains assembled like parts
in a huge puzzle and started on their
way to the front The basis on which
the automatic trains are made up Is
as follows:
Two cars of refrigerated fresh beer;
2 cars of fresh bread; : cars Of food
comprised in the soldiers ration;
forage for horses: car Of gasoline,
mineral oil and lubricants for mo-
tors; 1 car for mail and packages.
These are the fixed and practical
invariable elements of each automat-
&c train. the same wants Of food and
forage being repeated day after day.
In addition each division has vary
ing wants Of clothing. ammunition,
medical supplies, etc. as 1t may be
| in the midst Of the fighting or fur
| they back in a calmer section. These
| varying elements are added to each
train, according to the needs Of the
; division.
Thus, Is trains 90 out daily in IL
directions, each train having some
| 80 to IS cars in the fixed and auto
matte makeup, and some Is or 20
| cars with the varying elements OF
ammunition, medical supplies, cloth,
ing. ETC., dependent on the proximity
to the fighting.

OUR SEED AND FER
1|L|zER FOR 1918
The Grower Should Attend
Early to His Own Needs

Orono, Me-, Oct. 30.-The following
has been issued from the office OF
Charles D. Woods, the director OF the
Maine agricultural experiment sta
ton at the University Of Maine:
For years the seed and the fer
tilizer situation has been acute. And
it bids fair to be, to say the least, no
Better for the coming year. For In
addition to the shortage and high
cost Of materials, and demands upon
transportation for war needs, there
is already an increased difficulty
owing to the shortage of labor in fer
tilize- plants.
If we are to have a fairly comfor-
table time at home, and are to do our
duty supplying the food needed by
our own soldiers and those Of our
Allies, and do our part in helping feed
the civil population of Europe, we
must see to it that our crop yields for
1919 90 not fall off. With the dinin-
ished male farm labor it is highly i'm
portant that we grow maximum crops
per acre. Our cultivation must be
moro intense. We cannot well in
crease, and may not be able to main
tain, our present acreage devoted to
crops. To get maximum production
under these conditions means thor
ough preparation Of soil, good sense.
liberal application of manures. and
protection from insect and fungous
enemies.
If field selection Of seed has not
been made, the grower should ct
once select from his own crops the
seed needed for next year, and If he
finds that he has not enough. or good
enough seed, he should at once look
to an adequate supply of high grade
seed. Cheap seed is likely to be poor
economy. A well bred seed will
often make a difference of many bu-
shells in return and without any add
ed cost except the difference in price.
A small investment may make mar
velous returns.
Maximum acre yields cannot be OBJ
tanned without high fertility. All

What Building Up the Blood Did for
Youngstown Woman Who
Suffered from Anemia

When a woman's color fades, when
she gets short Of breath easily and
her heart palpitates after slight ex-
ertion or under the least excitement
1t means that she is suffering from
thin blood. Headache and backache
often accompany this condition and
nervousness is frequently present.
The remedy, Of course, Is to build
up the blood and for this purpose DR..
Williams Pink Pills are recommend
ed. They are the remedy best suited
to restore the blood. bring brightness
to the eyes and put color in the
checks and lips.
This is proven in the case Of Mrs.
r. A. Tarr. Of No. 80 Custer avenue.

astic in her praise Of these blood

food should be placed at the earliest
possible moment. Because of the
shortage of labor in fertilizer plants
the companies were unable to fill
more than Is per cent Of their Au-
gust orders for winter wheat fertili-
zers. There is apparently little hope,
even If the war stops soon, for in
creased labor supply during the win
ter and spring to be used in making
up the spring fertilizers Of potatoes
at other crops. The only way out
is for the fertilizer factories to start
manufacturing at once, and ship out
the goods as rapidly as they are
cured. This, of course, requires that
tn, farmers order what fertilizers
they can now and be ready to accept
shipments as soon as they can be
made. If this is done, there Is reason
to hope that the industry will be
successful in producing a fair proper

in getting the fertilizer to the farms
