TO FOR " BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
IN WALDO COUNTY

Waldo County Agent N. S. Donahue in
addition to his regular schedule of work
will assist in organizing Boys and Girls
clubs in the several towns of the county
which do not have such clubs.
The county agent expects to have
clubs in at least twenty towns this COM
ing season. AS there are no clubs in the
towns of Unity, Burnham, Thorndike,
Frankfort, Winterport, Prospect, Nor
rill, Searsmont, Swanville, Lincolnville
and Northport it is likely some new clubs
will be formed in several of these towns.
Liberal prizes amounting approxi-
mately to $4,000 will be offered by the
Belfast banks, the Maine sweet corn can
ners' association and the Belfast Fair as
ISOLATION.
Boys and girls between the ages of 10
and l8 years are eligible for membership
in the following kinds of clubs: Sweet
corn, potato, yellow corn, pig, poultry,
small garden, large garden, canning, also
cooking and housekeeping
The goal for this county is set for $50
members. At the present time there are
about $50 members in the county. Meet
ings will be held in some of the above
mentioned towns of the county from
time to time in the next two months. In
formation concerning the clubs may be

Excerpt from the HOoverized food
experience of the man who edits the
missouri Notes" column in the Kan
sas City Times:
"The friends who entertained us
warned US that they were living very
frugally and proved the assertion at
every meal. For example, for break
fast one morning we had nothing but
cereal and real cream, homemade
sausage fried potato cakes. stewed
fruit, hot biscuit. two kinds Of pre-
serves and coffee. The menu for the
next morning. as announced the night
before was nothing but waffles. and
that's all they had, with the exception
of bacon and eggs and few little side
dishes. We Mortified our hostess that
morning by eating only 20 waffles. Our
allotment was 81. and she said it was
unpatriotic not to clean the platter"

MONEY TO WIN war
How Americans Can Defeat
Blood Crazed Kaiser.
Small Contributions From All Who
Love Liberty and Appreciate Its
Blessings Will Save World
From Grave Danger.

Many are familiar with the fable
that appeared in the old school readers
about the king who offered a fortune
and the hand of his daughter to the
man who could tell him story that
would last forever in the telling, with
the stipulation, however. that. in case
the story came to an end. the person
who failed to complete it was to lose
his head by the sword.
A number of adventurous spirits lost
their heads in the attempt to keep
serial going forever to amuse the &C.
centric monarch. but one young man
finally won the fortune and the daugh-
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king with the story about the locusts
carrying off the corn. And then an
other locust came and carried off an
other grain of corn" etc, ETC., until
the king decided he had had enough Of
the story.
Amerioa-in fact, the whole world,
is dealing with an eccentric" monarch
today. This monarch wants the impos-
sible and everyone who refuses to give
it to him must lose his head. There
is one way to deliver the peoples Of the
world from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can be worn out If
he cannot be crushed by one tremen-
dous blow. And the government at
Washington has pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the kaiser. Small
savings. like the locusts. coming along
from 100000 American citizens,
will wear out the soul of the war-mad
monarch. American money can wear
out any army in the world, because
there is a great deal of American
money and there are many Americans
who have 1t. Just mere matter of a
quarter n day from every wage Garner
in the United States would mean bill
lions of dollars every year to buy guns
and food for soldiers, and ships to
carry them across the Atlantic to de-
feat the sinister purposes of the kaiser
and his crew.
A quarter, like the grain of corn is
not much in itself, but millions of quar-
tiers every day mean victory for right
eousness and humanity.

OLD METHOD or TRANSPORT
Raft as Used in America Teddy Has
Its Counterpart in Every Ccun-
try in the World.

"The raft has been used for centu-
ries for carrying various chrgoPs,'
writes Day Allen Wiley in St. Nich0-
las. ut carried Egyptian cotton on
the Nile; it is III service on the kongo
river in Africa and the Gauges in In
dia but the raft which is its own
cargo is thar composed of logs-a
method of water transportation that
originated in Nova Scotia a half cen
fury ago.
"Tree trunks cut from Nova Scotia
forests were moved on wooden rollers
to one of the harbors, where the logs
were piled in layers and bound to-
gether with twisted wire rope. The
raft was to be taken to lumber mill
on New York harbor, where the logs
were to be cut into timber for building
purposes. To haul the raft while on
the sea, one end of heavy wire rope
was fastened to It's bow, the other was
secured to the rear deck of a steam
tugboat. 1t started on it's ocean jour
ney, but never reached it's destination,
for gale of wind sprang up, the tow
ing rope parted, and the raft drifted
out to sea. Later, some of the logs
were found washed ashore on the Nor
wegian coast.
''In the Northwest the transportation
of lumber in RATS is very extensive.
They are of enormous dimensions, in
shape closely resembling d cigar, hav-
ing its greatest number at the middle
and taperng to point at both ends.
While these RATS are of varying sizes,
the smallest usually contains at least
five thousand pieces of timber, ranging
from 80 to ITO feet in length and from
two to nearly five feet in diameter at
the butt.
consequently, some Of the RATS
made in this peculiar fashion are near
ly as long as the largest transatlantic
liners, measuring no less than $50 feet
from end to end"

Salt Water Fishermen Must
Have License.

After Feb. 18th all salt water fisher
men and distributors of seafood not al
ready licensed will be required to operate
under license granted by the U. S. Food
Administration according to DR.. Merrill,
the Federal Food Administrator for
Maine. President Wilson, acting under
authority granted by the Food Control
Act, has issued a proclamation which
gives the Food Administration almost
complete control of the distribution of
crustaceans and shellfish. Wholesale fish
cense.
The proclamation covers all fishermen
engaged at any period of the year,
whether fishing independently or on
shares 1t covers, as well, all people in
the commercial distribution, including
catching and selling of any or all va
rieties of salt water fish. The term salt
water fish is defined to embrace all forms
of seafood taken from salt water. This
places oysters, crabs, Holsters, clans, all
shellfsh and crustaceans under the con-
troll of the Food Administration.
citation engaged in catching or distribu-
ton of any forms of seafood who engages
in business after Feb. 18th, without Sc
curing license, will be liable to fine of
not more than $4,000 to Imprisonment
for not more than one year, or to both
fine and Imprisonment.
All persons subject to license must ap-
ply to the United States Food Admins
traton, License Division, Washington,
D. c., specifying the nature of the bust
ness to be licensed.
The licensing of the fishermen and the
control thereby given will enable the
Food Administration to foster and aid
the salt water fisheries and greatly in
crease the catches and the opportunities
of the fishermen to broaden their opera
tons. All this will be brought about by
regulations soon to be enacted and en-
bracing the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
which will largely supercede the local
laws in the various fishing districts;
these laws are at present discouraging
the fishermen, keeping them from using
the most productive kinds of gear and
curtailing the catches. Also in some OF
the districts closed seasons on certain
varieties of salt water fish are being en-
forced during the periods when these va
rieties are in greater abundance in the
shore waters and in many of the districts
restrictive laws against non-residents
and alien fishermen are rendering it i'm
possible for vessels and equipment from
one State to make catches in the shore
waters of adjacent States.
In the enactment of the regulations
due regard will be paid by the Food Ad-
ministration to any present restrictions
which are vitality necessary from the
standpoint of conservation.
