MAKE THEM PAY.

Mr.. Frank H. Probert, consulting en-
gineer of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, was
a m mber of an investigating committee
which recently returned from Europe,
where this committee went to investi-
gate and officially report upon the de-
struction of steel plants, coal mines, etc.
Following is an abstract from his report:
In my opinion, no such atrocity was
ever perpetrated against the industrial
life of any country. Magnificent steel
plants, comparing favorably with any
thing we have in the United States, are
now but tangled, twisted mass of struc-
tural steel and broken stone. The Willful
demolition was scientifically planned and
Systematically carried out. This after the
removal of all such mechanical and cleo
trial power units as could be used by
Germany. The righteousness and effici-
ency with which this crime against French
industry was carried out is almost I'M
believable.
The coal veins of northern France are
overlain' by water bearing strata. necessi-
tating special methods of shaft sinking
and support to keep the mines dry. The
steel lining of the shaft was dynamited,
letting in the quicksands and flooding the
underground workings for miles around.
In the entire Pas de Calais region it is
estimated that 100000 900 cubic meters
OF water must be pumped before the min
ing operations are resumed Having flood
ed the mines, the head frames and sur
face equipment were Systematically dyna
mited, the twisted debris in many cases
1llllng up the demolished shafts.

TO EXPLAIN The COVENANT.

1t is said that an expert may be sent
from Paris to Washington to explain the
covenant of the League Of Nations. There
have been explana tons in plenty and no
more are needed. When Mr.. Wilson re-
turned from Paris he explained that to
amend the covenant would be to defeat it,
When he got back to Paris, he explained
that to fail to amend the covenant would
be to defeat it.
The British explained that the coven-
ant, as was, amply covered the Monroe
Doctrine. But they finally consented to
recognize the Monroe Doctrine in the
covenant. Then they proceeded to ex-
plain to the Brltishers at home that if
there should any question arise under the
Monroe Doctrine the League of Nations
would ''be there to settle it." Yes, they'd
settle the Monroe Doctrine all right if
they should get a chance and it should
happen to conflict with their interests.
There have been all sorts of explana-
tons and we opine that the Senate would
pay very little attention to the "explana-
tons" of an expert" There seem to be
some "experts" in the Senate and there
is every reason to believe that they can
explain the covenant quite as we'll as any
joy-riding experts" from Paris.-Ameri-
can Economist.

CREAMERY BUSINESS TO BE SOLD

1t has been known for some tim that a
movement was on foot to secure the
property Of the Turner Center Dairying
Assoc alton for the New England Milk
Producers Association. The latter or
ganiza ton has an option on the property
which expires Oct. LIST, and 1T is expect
ed chat before that time the arrangements
will be completed for the transfer to the
new proprietors
The Turner Center Dairylng Associa-
ton, starring about So years ago in the
cooperative marketing move of few
dairymen at Turner Center, later moved
to Auburn, and has constantly been in
creasing its business, purchasing cream
cries ard establishing new branches. 1t
has now about 25 plants in Maine for the
handling of milk, cream and butter, and
is capitalized for 100000, of which
amount $3.50, ZOO has been issued. The
price named in the option is $4,000,
which is the government valuation, and
it is said to represent actual visible prop
erty, without including good will or paper
prospects. 1t is said that the business of
the Association last year totaled 81, 100, =
900.
E. L. Bradford has been the manager of
the business since it started, and it is I'M
derstood will be continued in that posi-
ton with the new owners.
1t is designed to make the enterprise,
under the new ownership, a real CO. OPP
erative affair, SO that the farmers OF
Maine will own and run it. The stock
holders in the present company will re-
ceive some more than double the par
value of their stock.

OUR MAINE SENATORS i.

The coming of Republican majority
in the Senate of the United States affects
the country in more than purely parti-
san way. 1t removes the control of i'm
portant legislation as affected by the COM
mittees of the senate from the sectional
basis upon which it was placed by the
Democrats, all of whose important chair
manshipS were located in the section of
the country known generally as the
South. Under the new regime the chair
manships are much more generally dis
tributed about the country and we, in
Maine have the qualification of knowing
that our own senators are recognized and
placed in positions of great Importance in
the legislative situation. Senator Hale,
who from childhood has been familiar
with public men and measures, has been
given committee appointments which
carry with them great responsibilities
and which will enable him to be of the
greatest service to his constituents, to
render to the country service like that
which for many years was given by his
distinguished father and grandfather in
the senate of the United States. The
senator is placed upon the committee on
appropriations. the committee on naval
affairs, and the committee on rules. 1t
may be added in passing that Senator
Hale was active and efficient in bringing
about the changes in the senate rules
which have resulted in more liberal allot-
ments of committee places.
Senator Fernald, whose business acu-
men is SO highly appreciated by the peo-
pie of Maine, upon whose sterling integ-
rity they so surely rely, also has his i'm
portant allotments. He is to be chair
man of the committee on public build
ings, and also a member of the commit
tee on fisheries and on interstate and for
eign commerce Thus, Maine achieves a
prominence it SO thoroughly deserves,
and it will have great influence in shap-
ing the legislation of the country in the
future.

Two New Wheat Diseases.
Have They Reached Maine With
Imported Seed :?

Information has come to the Maine Ag
ricultural Experiment Station that two
serious diseases of wheat, new to Ameri-
ca, have been discovered recently in
Madison County, III. These are known
as the Australian "take-all' or foot
rot" and the flag smut" 1t is not
known whether these diseases are pres
ent elsewhere in the country, but un-
doubtedly they have much wider dis
tribution than is now indicated. Much
seed wheat from divers sources has been
imported into Maine during the past two
or three years. 1t is hoped that neither
of these diseases have come with this
imported seed, but there is possibility
of it. Anyone who finds in his wheat
field diseased OF abnormal plants that in
any way resemble those described below
should either send specimens directly to
the Station for examination, or bring the
matter to the attention of the County Ag
ricultural Agent of the College of Agri-
culture. The disease was first reported
from Illinois by the County Agent.
According to descriptions sent out and
to specimens that have been received at
this Station, plants suffering from the
"take-all' disease are much dwarfed and
show a bluish-preen color in striking
contrast to the normal green of healthy
wheat Badly diseased plants remain in
the rosette stage while surrounding,
healthy plants are knee high. In badly
infested fields many Of the dwarfed
plants are dried up and brown, leaving
patches entirely bare. Some of the
dwarfed plants show rather wide rosette
leaves. Others, less severely alta cked,
may show attempts at recovery by throw
ing up narrow, more or less grass-like
leaves. The disease may occur in dis
tinct patches of varying size, or it may
be general over the entire field.
The 'flag-smut" of wheat likewise oc-
ours in Australia where it is often re-
sponsible for losses of from to 10 per
cent of the crop, or more. 1t is also re-
ported from India and Japan. This is a
leaf smut which becomes evident soon
after plant begins to produce stalks. The
upper leaves are More or less twisted and
dark lines appear, extending lengthwise
upon them. These dark lines are caused
by spore masses beneath the leaf surface
and later open and allow the spores to
escape. The smutted plants are fire.
quently stunted and seldom form heads.
If SO these heads rarely produce seed.

PROPOSED TORSEY MEMORIAL
CHURCH, KENT'S HILL, ME.

Kent's Hill has been without the use of
a church building for several years. The
students and citizens have attended wor
ship in Deering Chapel of the seminary.
This has proved inadequate for the needs
of both the school and the community.
The renovation of the church began
last year and is to continue this summer.
The outlay needed is much larger than
the small community around the semi
nary can bear. Many of the families are
here in connection with the seminary
and have few permanent interests.
The appeal of Kent's Hill Church is as
wide as the appeal of the seminary. The
church building adequate for the semi
nary's need cannot be furnished by local
resources, although The toWnspeople
have been and are toling far more than
could be reasonably expected. The help
must come from those who are interest
ed in the educational work of our type.
and cherish memories of the past.
The work has been gradually carried
on through the efforts of the past until
the time for the consummation of the
dreams has come. We have a splendid
pipe organ, and solid basement has
been put in, but these are of no avail I'M
less we complete the work, so that the
structure is physically and artistically fit
to worship In.
Outside of monument down in the
little cemetery, overlooking Jersey Pond,
there is nothing to perpetuate DR.. Torsey's
memory. There is nothing to raise the
question, Who was DR.. Torsey2 There
are few who are living to tell of him,
but when they cease to speak, what other
appropriate source of memory have we2
What better than comfortable, artistic
church?
We need 81, 500 to renovate and re-
model our church and make it fit me-
mortal to DR.. Jersey. The project has
the hearty support of the district super
intendent, Principal Newton, the faculty
and trustees. Surely there must be
twenty five graduates of the seminary to
whom the memory of Torsey is worth
500 each, or at least one hundred gradu-
ates to whom the project is worth S25
each. The funds are needed now. Send
money and suggestions to Principal j. O.
