The comment may not be
quite fair to our senator never

genuine regret in Oregon over
the apparent inability of the
senator to view affairs as does

In a general way Senator
Chamberlain seems embued
with the idea that things are

American war waging. Yet we
have more than a half million

the secretary was showing a crowded

The thought came to the hut man
that perhaps he could learn from his

on the impulse. which proved an in
spiration. he passed out slips con-
tanning the question As 70 what the
men regarded a. the worst three

the answers would be. Naturally he
expected that early religious training
would make the position OF murder

Foodstuffs which America is pre-

next twelve months will. provide a

Food Administration officials declared
yesterday. This is almost double the
result Of the last twelve months ef-
forts to make up the shortage in
rations of the allies.
Exports during the last year
amounted to 100000 tons of food
stufts. During the next year IT is
believed the amount can be increased
to 1S,OOO,000 tons, and Canada Will
provide an additional 100000 tons.
This program Is AGO per cent greater
than in pre-war times. :
Conditions are SO greatly improved
that 1t is believed the program can
be carried out with less pressure of
saving on the American people. At
the same time reserves can be built
up against the possibility Of famine

GROWING IN MAINE

BANGOR, Me-, Aug. 1s.-Friends OF
over the discovery OF a whiskey still
in full operation in the cellar of q
farmhouse near Bangor.
Others have regarded the incident
as more or less. OF q joke, but the
earnest Prohibitionist realizes that.
with alcohol at s13 a gallon and the
meanest kinds OF whislxey "a to 81 a
quart in Bangor and other parts OF
Maine, there is 4 very powerful temp
tation for the farmer to turn his
crops OF corn and potatoes into Sc
loon supplies.
Everybody knows that the Maine
Yankee can do anything with any
thing, and that he has a very keen
eye for the high dollar, and so, with
all the signs right. he is just as likely
to take flyer in homemade whiskey
as he is to smugg1e the Scotch article
over the border, catch short Holsters
or put all the good apples in the top
layer.
Getting Rich Quick.
The signs are Just right at this mo-
ment for the ingenious and indus
trious to get rich quick in making
whiskey. Maine raises more than
&c, 100000 bushels OF potatoes, which
are hard to handle as food, being
bulky and expensive to move, sus-
ceptible TO FROST always the prey OF
greedy middle men. and, frequently a
drug on the market
Potatoes, with or without corn, and
little molasses. are the chief requi-
site in the distilling OF the most ener-
getic whiskey known to bone-dry
communities.
