A copy of his report to the inter
state commerce commission on the
Shasta differential case, has been sub
mitted by Attorney c. R. Marshal to
the Oregon public service commission.
The report recommends that the case
be dismissed and that an order of the
commission in 1916 establishing the
same rate on passenger fares between
Chicago and San Francisco by the
northern and the southern routes, be
cancelled.

In a telegram received today by the
public service commission, the Great
Northern railroad agrees to permit the
sending of 81 of their ears south on
the Southern. Pacific. This is the first
time for years this has been permitted.
The action followed a request of the
commission, who called attention to the
fact that 70 ears loaded with automo-
biles were in the Portland yards, wait
ing to be transferred to Southern Pa
cific ears to go through to San Fran
cisco. The Northern Pacific has always
refused to loan their cars to the South
crn Pacific,a and as q result much space
in the yards was being occupied, 70 cars
were idle, and much more time and labor
would be required to transfer the freight
to other ears. Before the railroad com
pany could act on the matter, So cars
of freight were transferred, but the 81
ears viii be sent direct to their ,des-
tination.

and find out what we, as individuals,
will need the coming season for seed, and
then 90 to work Immediately to secure
the same.
We are threatened with something
worse than party politics, bad as they
are. Pres. Schurman of Cornell says:
eve are creeping close to the inferno of
starvation" The shortage CT grains and
meat products, available for food, is far
beyond our realization. If there was Ger
talnty of bumper crop in all cases this
year, the cause for fear would in meas
ure be removed, but, with three hard
years behind us, the fear must cling that
we will not be SO favored as to remove
responsibility for doing all in our power.
There was never such demand for care
in ordering to conserve the stock on
hand. This is the year when one must
grow all he can care for and not waste
seed in any way. Get what you need and
no more, and get it today. Still more is it
well to remember that we must this year
cut out the least valuable and necessary
crops and grow only those best adapted to
our soil, most certain to mature, and de-
handing the least labor per acre. There
is no other way to hope for increase.
Here, brother farmers, is the command
ing problem facing US for 1918. Don't
put it one side for anything, but prepare,
prepare, prepare for possible food sup
ply in 1919.-Dr. c. M. Twitchell IN the

George A. Gowen.

The late George A. Gowen, whose death
occurred at the Clara Barton Hospital in
Los Angeles on the 10th of March, was
born in Montville, Maine, on the 22nd of
March, 1882, son of Deacon Benjamin
and Sarah Messer Gowen, who were
among the earliest inhabitants of that
town. Mr.. Gowen married Mary Louise
Clement in 1856, who passed away TWEEN
ty-four years ago in Maine. The deceased
was for years actively engaged in the
carriage business in the town in which he
was born, and became widely known as
fine workman and a man whose word was
never questioned. He was veteran of the
Civil War, taking part in the siege OF
Port Hudson under General Banks, and
was always loyal to the flag for which he
!,ught during the dark days of '6l. The
death of Mr.. Gowen removes one of the
earliest Republicans in the Nation as well
as one of the oldest Prohibitionists. He
cast his first vote for President in 1856
tor John C. Fremont, and in 1884 he voted
for Ex-Governor John P. st. John, Pro-
hibition candidate for President, and for
over a generation he voted no other party
ticket in State and National elections.
He has been Prohibition candidate for
State Senator in Maine and was always
deeply interested in the welfare of this
party.
MIR. Gowen was resident of Hynes
for five years. He was very active for
man of his advanced years and highly
respected by all who knew him. He is
survived by daughter, Mrs. Osa Gowen
Chalmers; a son, Mr.. Frank w. Gowen,
the well known temperance advocate,
both of Hynes; granddaughter, Mrs.
Lester B. Tozier. and a great grandson,
Master Bradford Tozier, both of Santa
Paula, Cal a sister, Mrs Eliza A. Young
of Concord, N. H., who was spending the
winter with him. One son, the late Elbane
L. Gowen, died at Long Beach, CAL, in
1918. His widow, Mrs Mile Lane Cow
en-, resides at Long Beach.
The funeral, which was largely attend
ed, was held at his late home in Hynes
at o'clock March 18th, Rev. Mr.. Logan
of the Presbyterian Church officiating.
There was profusion of beautiful flowers.
The interment was at Sunnyside ceme-
terry at Long Beach.
Thus noble man has been removed by
death in old age, but the memory of his
good deeds will be an inspirat ton to those
of us who are left behind. California

papers or circulars. so that the whole
community may know who has joined
the Honor Roll.
An appeal to join the Roll
from motives of local pride will be
the second slogan on the Honor Roll:
HELP OUR TOWN TO WIN THE
RIGHT TO FLY THIS FLAG.
With the slogan will be displayed
a picture of the Honor Flag. This
will be the same symbol awarded to
individual subscribers, but no town
will be permitted to fly the flag untfl
it has exceeded its quota of the issue
of the Third Liberty Loan. The quo
ia is proportional upon the wealth OF
the town. Every community thus has
an equal chance to win the right to
fly the Honor Flag.
As a further honor a city or town
that buys double its quota of bonds
will receive the right to add blue
star to It's flag. Every additional
1000 will mean another star.
The proof of the power Of commun-
ity pride lies in the competition al
ready begun to win the first Honor
Flag in the country by securing the
first complete quota. Dozens of cities
or towns have announced that they
are out to get it.
The Government encourages this
competition by promising to make the
award Of the first Honor Flag an I'm
portant official event It is expect ed
that Secretary McAdov will attend
the first ceremony and raise the tag
with his own hands.
The towns of the West and South
are especially keen about this COM
petition. They realize the honor 1t
will be to have official proclamation
Of the community first to respond to
the nations call for funds
The competition should not only
add enormously to the total sub
scription of the Loan, rolling it up to
show the soldiers how the country 10

cementing individuals into communi-
ties, communities into States, and
States into q truer nation.
The Honor principle will be car
ried right to the top. All the towns
that have won the Honor Flag WIN
have their names permanently re-
ported on the Roll OF Honor at thv

The Seed Problem.

Somehow, cannot shake off the con-
viction that some things call for immedi-
ate action on the part of growers in every
locality.
Over and over has the lesson of buying
early been urged, but somewhere the pro-
crastination bug gets in its work, and
men delay. The seed situation, about
which much has been said, is too serious
to be neglected, yet we get wild over
some political scheme, foisted by self
seeking men, and let 60 the vital subject
of bread and butter.
One fact is certain, Maine must this
year produce its share, not of regular
products, but of increase demanded.
With tremendous shortage of labor
because of drafted men, enlisted men, and
the demand of the government for labor
in every other direction, nothing but
bountifui harvests in every direction can
save, and every man must do his best.
For this to be possible, the seed problem
looms big. Little seed is to be had, and
that threatens to be low in vitality
Some seeds cannot be obtained at any
price.
There's an urgent cry for flint corn
from western States, where they harvest
ed the biggest crop last year ever dream
ed Of, yet where it is so soft and imma-
ture that it cannot be shipped, and ger
mination runs as low as five per cent.
This certainly spells shortage another
winter, and we, SO dependent on western
corn to feed, must hustle to grow more;
we surely must see to it that seed is
secured for planting all we can take
care of. One carload of flint corn seed
has lately gone out of New England to
help the western growers. Officials in
other western States are begging of the
State departments in the east for help in
getting flint corn for their farmers. This
seed problem is startling when one gets
inside, and it will be well if we drop
theories and cease complaining about
politics and get right down to brass tacks

Boys Working Reserve.

AUGUSTA, April 8. tOf1icial.) Can the
boy who works on his fathers farm this
year get credit as member of the Unit
ed States Boys Working Reserve? At
the headquarters of the Maine Division
of the Reserve, letters are arriving re-
questing an answer to that question.
These letters show gratifying spirit of
patriotism on the part of the boys who
write them. Boys who will work on the
farms owned and operated by their faith
er's naturally desire to receive proper
credit for the work they will do in rails
ing the war time crops. They are going
to serve in the Army which will fight for
freedom by waging battle in the burrows
of the fields as other armies are fighting
in the trenches. The anxiety that these
youngsters show as to their standing Is
one of the hopeful signs of the times.
They make it clear that they look upon
the work they will do as patriotic ser
vice.
The answers that go out in response to
the letters of inquiry set the minds of the
Young patriots at rest. The boys work.
ing on their fathers farms may become
members of the reserve. But they must
be regularly enrolled at the first of the
season. They must fill out the enroll
ment card which may be obtained from
the superintendent of schools, the princi-
pal of the High school or some other re-
cruitng agent. And the boys must be
prepared to show at the end of the sea-
son that they have actually worked for a
period of at least six weeks
What is said here as to boys who re-
main on the home farms applies with one
exception to boys who enroll to work IN
other industries without leaving their
homes These boys, in order to obtain
badges, must show that they have work
ed for a period of at least ten weeks.
Uncle Sam wants the help of all the boys
and arrangements have been made to
give the boy who cannot leave home his
chance along with the boy who can.
But the boy who volunteers for work
wherever the reserve may send him with
in the State gets some things which can
not be provided for the boy who enrollS to
work at home The volunteer is given
the benefit of preliminary instruction IN
the training camp at Winthrop. HIS
course there includes not only instruction
in the work he will do, but he gets taste
of military drill under an army officer
He receives a uniform. 1t is stipulated
when he is placed on farm that he shall
receive fair wages for the work that he
does there If he is one of a group of
bows working in the same neighhorhood
he may live in a camp all summer.
Whether he does or not he will be con-
stantly under the guidance of man Sc
lected as director because of his fitness
for the task Uncle Sam intends to give
all the boys chance to help win the war
but the boys who volunteer for service
wherever needed will find that there has
fallen to their especial lot some things
that make strong appeal to them.

The adoption of the Honor Roll AM
the Honor Flag for communities in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign
promises to add an element of com
petition in service throughout the
whole country, to the sale of Liberty
Bonds, which was seen in neither Of
the earlier loans.
What the Honor Roll did at Cedar
hurst, Long Island. the only town
which employed it on the Second
Loan. proves the tremendous force of
the idea.
On the First Loan Cedarhurst took
$4,000 worth of Liberty Bonds
through $50 subscribers; on the Sec
ond, $500 subscribers took 10000.
Yet Cedarhurst was just an average
American community with perhaps
more citizens of foreign birth than
the average and many citizens Of
small means.
All that the Liberty Loan Commit
tee did was to make public day by
dav. acknowledgements, not of money
subscriptions but Of the list of those
who had answered the call Of the
nation, and by giving this list the
honor that was due, persuaded others
to secure a place.
To the Honor Roll idea has been
added for the whole county, for the
Third Liberty Loan the Service Flag
idea Those who acknowledge their
debt to the nation by aiding with
their money will receive widest pub
lie recognition for their act Enlist
ment among bond holders will get
credit just as II 1t were enlistment
in the ranks Of army or navy.
Those who enlist money in the
Government service will have
symbol to display in the form Of the
Honor Flag This Is like a Service
Flag in design and in spirit. 1t is
rectangular, with a broad red border
surrounding white field. the field
bearing three vertical blue bars,
marking the Third Liberty Loan.
There will be no provision on the
dag to show the amount subscribed.
The slogan This flag in your window
will help win the war" is counted
upon to point the way to win sub
scriptions.
Whether it is one $50 bond or 50
bonds at $1,000 each. the same cred
1t will be given on the public Honor
Roll. The name Of the subscriber be-
meath this caption.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE OF
OUR TOWN WHO ARE HELPING
TO WIN THE WAR BY INVESTING
IN GOVERNMENT BONDS OF THE
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.

Soldier Insurance

Secretary McAdoo has called
upon all local draft boards to ac-
quaint drafted men with the pro-
visions of the soldier-insuranc !
law and to urge every drafted
man to take out this insurance.
The boards have been furnished
with literature to aid them in this
educational work.
The law affording insurance to
our fighting forces has well been
called the most just and humane
provision ever made by a nation
for its soldiers and sailors. The
Government and the American
people recognize the justice Of
affording this protection to the
men who risk their lives for their
country and to their families and
dependents at home. 1t is only
just to themselves and to their
families and dependents that our
lighting men avail themselves Of
this opportunity.
Every american enlisting
should take out this insurance
and carry with him into danger
the heartening knowledge that
whatever happens, himself and
his dependents are protected by
his Government.
