COLONEL DEFINES
CHARM OF HUNTING


I'm hunting, the finding and kill
ing of the game, is, after all, but a
part of the WHOLE" wrote Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. in one of his
publications. The free, self-reliant,
adventurous life, with its rugged
and stalwart democracy; the wild
surroundings, the grand beauty of
the scenery, the chance to study the
ways and habits of the woodland
creatures-all these unite to give
to the career Of the wilderness hun
ter its peculiar charm"
Roosevelt, like all daring souls
who trail romance out of doors,
had, during his hunting years. in
Vulnerable adventures that have
been passed over rather lightly by
his b~iographers because they
seemed, as it were, mere episodes in
his wonderful career. But if some
less ubiquitous hunter, with a touch
of. exaggeration and vain-glory had
been the protagonist of these hunt
ing dramas, he would have mega
phoned his adventures to the four
corners of the earth.
In his own writings, Roosevelt
dismisses many of these sensational
episodes with a brief paragraph,
and sometimes merely grants them
a few scant lines. The feat of
killing an eagle with a rifle is, N
must admit something out of the
ordinary. Roosevelt performed it,
and here is his laconic description:
"Once, while hunting mountain
sheep in the Bad Lands, l killed an
eagle ON the wing with the rifle. l
was walking beneath a cliff of gray
clay, when the eagle sailed into
view over the crest. AS soon as he
saw me, he threw his wings aback,
and for a moment before wheeling
poised motionless, offering a nearly
stationary target; so that my bullet
came through the air, tumbling
over and over. AS he struck the
ground, he threw himself on his
back, and fought against his death
with the undaunted courage proper
to his brave and cruel nature"
1t is also interesting to recall
that Roosevelt in 1.-The Wilderness
Hunter" pays a glowing tribute to
Washington as a hunter, quoting
frequently from Washington's diary
to emphasize the first presidents
interest in fox, pheasant and duck
hunting.
Colonel Roosevelt during his
hunting days killed every sort of
game that abounds in the United
States, and he has described all his
various hunting trips in graphic
style, but one of the most picIur-
esque and interesting bits of writing
hat the lover of strange hunting
will find anywhere in his books is
the account of a peccary hunt on
the Nueces river in Texas in 1898.
1t was on horseback and he speaks
of one of these queer little wild pigs
being brought to bay whose teeth
kept going like castanets," keeping
the dogs at a respectful distance.
Roosevelt killed him by a shot
through the backbone.

BELGIAN STEEL SUFFERS
FROM SHORTAGE OF COKE

BRUSSELS. Oct. 2S.-The Bel.
gian steel industry is greatly ham
dicapped by lack of transportation.
About 20 blast furnaces which have
been repaired since the withdrawal
of the German forces could start
work within the next six weeks if
the necessary coke could be OBJ
tanned. The taking over of 400
American locomotives is being nego-
tiated with a view to relieving the
situation. Belgium is supplying Ru-
mania and Switzerland with coal in
exchange for food and is arranging
with Argentina for the shipment of
$4,000 tons of coal to that country
monthly against returns of wheat
cargoes.

ing here in Maine, the acreage of
the crops is decreasing. The rural
population of Maine has actually
decreased since 1890, while in the
United States there has been an, in
crease in population of approximately
nine million. gain of practically 20
per cent between 1890 and 1910. The
improved farm land in Maine has de-
creased from about three million OF
acres in 1890 to about 2,350,000 acres
in 1910. During the same period the
improved farm land in the United
States generally increased from $751;
900. 900 acres to 47S,000,000 acres.
Between 1890 and 1910 the unim-
proved farm lands in Maine in
creased from 100000 acres to $780,
600 acres. while during the same pc
Rod the unimproved. farm lands in
the United States decreased FROM
4o5, 900, 900 acres to 100000 acres.
The value Of farm investment in
Maine increased from 1890 to 1910
from $122, 100000 to 5000, 100000. prac-
tically 60 per cent, while during the
same period the value of farm in
vestments in the United States in
creased from SIG, 1000, 900, 900 to $41. 000.-
000, GOO, or practically $50 per cent.
Measured by every available stand
ard, the tendency Of agriculture in
Maine has been to decrease while
the tendency in the country at large
has been to increase and this loss in
Maine occurred when the consump-
ton of food products has been great
ly increased and in spite Of the fact
that Maine, naturally an agricultural
State, comprising half the area of
New England with millions of acres
Of fertile soil unoccupied and unim-
proved, land that under cultivation
yields larger crops of staple prod
ucts than any other state in the In
ion. Maine. situated as she Is at the
very threshold of the manufactur-
ing districts of New England. has
practically an unlimited market for
food supplies. -.
That this condition Is disturbing to
you as farmers is natural, but it
should be even more disturbing to
the rest of US in the State, to every
citizen who has a place in Names
future and an obligation to yield
service to Maine
To me, a native son Of Maine. com
mitted by every tie of past, present
and future interests to Names deyel-
opment, a knowledge of this trend is
most alarming, believe that a very
grave duty rests upon tho h,,s,nass
and financial interests of Maine anil
that they should accept this situa-
ton as one of their problems and
tnat they should join you in an at
tempt to solve it. 1t demands fru q nd

for his produce. 1t would provide a
means for the payment Of any given
obligation with. the fewest possible
number Of bushels of potatoes. or of
apples. or of any farm produce.
The, advantages to Bangor mer-
chants and business interests woul I
be equally great because the farmer
who found market for his produce
in Bangor would. so far as he needed
to buy. purchase them here.
While I make this illustration IN
relation to Bangor. I believe 1t could
be applied to all the natural centers
of distribution throughout the State.
There are no difficulties that couldn't
be overcome by coordination or CO.
operation among us. 1t has been my
fortune to pass most OF my life In
manufacturing and marketing the
products of manufacture. Speaking
from the standpoint of that expert
ence. I see no unusual difficulties in
this plan and I firmly believe that
it's adoption, by bringing a larger
return to the farmer would in the
average make the cost OF food less
to our people in Maine. The middle
man has his essential place In dis
tribution. He is an essential and i'm
portant part of the business worli
and an uneconomic system of mer-
chandising that makes the ultimate
cost of home grown farm products
to the consumer more than double the
amount that it yields the farmer who
produces them.
ask your indulgence for a mo-
ment longer to speak Of the phase of
the situation that has greatly inter-
ested me. It happens that the bu-
rean of statistics has compiled a ia
BILE showing the location Of manufac-
turing interests. az a study Of these
statistics discloses the fact that in

the manufactures is in rural conf
rnunities than is the case In any 9TH

Our State-Striking Facts Given

Orono, Me-, Aug. 19-(SpeciaD.-
Addressing Pomona Grange at the
University of Maine this morning,
Colonel Frederick H. Parkhurst of
Bangor dealt with the businessman's
opportunity and duty TO Cooperate
with the farming interests Of the
State. He gave a striking array of
facts and figures Of value to both ag-
ricultural and commercial interests
and he surprised his hearers with an
intimate knowledge of their affairs
and their problems.
Mr.. Parkhurst offered a sane solu-
ton of the marketing and distribu-
ton problem, but made plain that
business and financial interests must
take hold with a will and with a
willingness to share in some meas
ure of the hazards Of the farming
gamble. His address caused much
favorable comment. Following Is his
address in substance: b"

cause of my contact with agricultur-
al and farming questions during my
