BROWN TAIL AND GYPSY MOTH

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2--The
brown tail moth was first found In the
United States in Somerville, Mass,
during the summer of 1897, and was
undoubtedly introduced several sea
cons before that time on imported
nursery stock.
The caterpillars Of the gypsy moth
may be spread for limited distances by
carriage on moving objects, such as
trains ,horse-drawn vehicles, or auto
mobiles. For this reason, it is partic-
ularly important to keep roadways
free from severe infection.
Egg clusters Of the gypsy moth may
be carried long distances on shipments
Of trees, lumber, stone or other pro-
ducts.
Gypsy moth caterpillars have been
carried more than twenty miles by the
wind. This wind spread occurs when
the temperature is above g. degrees
+, SO that the young worms are active
and moving around in the trees, and
when the velocity # the wind is eight
miles or more per hour.
The food plants most favored by the
gypsy moth arc the apple the differ
ent species Of oak, gray birch, alder,
and willow, though in cases Of heavy
infestation the insect will injure TO
some extent nearly all deciduous trees
except ash.
Thousands Of trees are dead in New
England as result Of defoliation by
the gypsy moth.
Methods for controlling the brown
tail moth include the cutting Off and
burning Of their winter webs before
the caterpillars emerge in the spring
and spraying with arsenate Of lead be
fore the middle Of August.

NJ. J. HAPGO0D ADVISES
Recent Letter 10 Manchester Ministers
Association Read and Thanks Voted


Peru, VT, Jan. 25, 1918.
Manchester Ministers Association:
am much interested in your pro-
posed meeting at the Colburn House
upon Monday, the 2Sth, and take this
extreme liberty of thus addressing you
since | firmly believe that the pulpit
can be, and should be the great center
Of influence in these well-night terrific
times when the Whole world is being
forced into the most terrible war ever
even dreamed Of.
Allow me to say that words the
most potent, plain and practical
should be used from your pmpits--
words that strike and will be felt
As you are aware, the great subject
IN now for US who must stay at home
is economy, and believe that the sup
posed well-to-do should be urged to
the utmost TO practice it and set the
example; 50 that those who are strug-
Cling for existence will not feel
abashed.
/ have much reason to believe that
many Of those who are at the head of
our RED Cross proceedings are not
practicing what they proclaim--are as
indulgent as ever in their households
the details are what need attending
to. Let these cakes and pies and lardy
compounds be abolished-the plainest
of foods are the most healthful any
way. Let them boil the potatoes with
the skins on and thus save the most
nourishing part. Let silks and satins
be put away in the back drawers. We
can well-nigh do away with all meat,
especially pig meat. Dowie success
fully started city uron the principle
Of mo rum, pig or tobacco" The way
that prohibition is now sweeping the
country is indeed, a matter Of extreme
rejoicing when we consider that the
use Of alcohol has been the cause Of
two-thirds Of the crime, poverty, mis-
cry, ignorance and degradation Of the
land; and woman now is to have her
rightful place--uphold her, please
she is to be your mainstay.
Be told, be fearless, be practical, is
the prayer and entreaty Of one who is
closely watching you.
Most sincerely yours,
MARSHALL J. HAPGOOD.

THE kAIsER's DREAM

There is story. though strange II
may seem,
OF the great Kaiser Bill and bis won
dcrful dream.
Being wraried by Allies, he lay down
on his bed,
And among other things, he dreamed
be was dead,
And in a fine coffin was lying in state.
With crowd Of brave Begians
mourning his fate,
He was not long dead when he found
TO his cost,
That his soul like his soldiers, soon
would be lost
On leaving this earth. up TO heaven
he went,
And arriving up there, gave a knock
on the fence.
Saint Peter locked out and exclaimed
loud and clear:
"Try down below, Bill, you can't get In
here"
Now" said the Kaiser, 81 call that
uncivil,
But q welcome III get from my old
friend, the Devil"
He turned on his heel and away he
did go,
At the top Of his speed to the region1
below,
But arriving down there, he was filled
with dismay,
For while waiting outside, he heard
old Nick say:
"Scc here, all you imps, | give you
fair warning,
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here
this morning,
But don't let him in, for TO me Ills
quite clear,
Hes after my job, so we don't want
him here.
If he once gets in, therell be no end
Of quarrcls,
In fact, I'm afrcid hen corrupt all our
morals"
"All right, my dear FRIEND" the Kais-
or cried,
Excuse me for listening while
waiting outside.
But if you don't let me in, then where
will go?"
Indeed" said the Devil, "'m damned
if ! know"
"Oh, do let me in, I'm feeling quite
cold!
And if you want money, I've plenty Of
gold!
Let me sit in corner, no matter how
hotW
mo! Nor yelled the Devil, most
certainly not,
We don't allow folks here for riches or
pelf,
Here's sulphur and matches. Make q
hell for yourself"
And he kicked him away, and then
vanished in smoke,
And just at that moment the kais,s
aWJ'C.
He jumped out Of bed in shivering
sweat,
And said, THAT'S a dream that
won't Son forget
That | can't 70 To heaven, I know
very well,
But It's really too bad to be kicked

DEATHLESS LOVE
Park Andrew Bradford

Love never dies;
Forever in the heart it lies,
Eternal as the arching skies.
Love never tries"
1t does the deed,
The deed Of sacrifice.
Love sceketh not her own
1t forever blooms,
On earthly tombs.
Love never falls"
Earthly things fade away.
Love bides the eternal day.
Love is not a shade;
Creation beautiful its life
Eternity its spirit made.

dents, all OF which occurred out of town.

Bangor short time ago to spend
the inter with his sons, died Dec 10, at
the home OF his eldest son Alger. Capt
Farnham was a lifelong resident here.
He had been deacon OF the Congregational
church for many years. He was genial
and kind hearted and will be greatly
missed. The funeral was held Thursday
at his sons residence. Many friends were
in attendance. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful. The bearers were
three sons, James OF Portland, Orin and
Alger OF Bangor, and a grandson, Fred
Farnham.
Mrs. Clara E. Condor OF West Brooks
Vile, died in Bangor Dec. IL, at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. b. w. Johns, where
she went few weeks ago to spend the
winter. Death followed a weeks illness
OF pneumonia. She was the widow OF
Capt. Augustus Condon OF this place,
and had many friends. She is survived
by four daughters Mrs. B. w. Johns
and Mrs. Herman P. Tapley OF Bangor,
Mrs. FL. l.. Limeburner OF North Brooks

vile, and a son, DR.. G. s. Hagerthy of
Ellsworth; also two sisters, Mrs. Florence
Carter OF Bar Harbor and Mrs. Frank
Mason of East Oriand.
Ella Darby, wife of Capt. Ira varnum,

ter of the late Capt. elisha and Eliza

Must Have REGULAR Meals.

1t is said that the native in India
is extremely particular about regular.
ity in his meals: once accustomed to
eating at a certain hour he must stick
to it at all costs. An English engineer
had an awkward experience of this
when erecting a 100-foot steel pole
with the aid of about thirty natives
and the minimum of tackle. The pole
was halfway up when the 'headman"
intimated that it was dinner time. On
ly the most desperate entreaties, cou-
pied with threats, prevented, the men
letting the pole come down with a
run, though it had taken several hours
to get it into this position.

Looking Throuah a Tunnel.

The little circle of the world you see
when you are looking through the
length of a tunnel is always beautiful
by contrast. No matter if it is only
stretch of track with few scrubby
trees and an arch of blue sky above
it, you, looking from the blackness of
the tunnel, think it picture worthy
an artists brush. To the sick good
health seems happiness enough, and
those who are in trouble ask nothing
better than a mind free from care.
But sensible people do not need to be
deprived of life's blessings in order
to appreciate them.

those who do much writing are liable

fiicted with it has no complete control
