said: What can we do with fee
BILE minded girl of 17?' Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that the girl doesn't
even know enough to feed herself or
care for herself in any way. Her
father is a working man with large
family of other children. The moth
er has recently died. So long as the
mother lived, she cared for her
faithfully. Now this girl is left as
the oldest of the family of children.
The father cannot afford to hire any
one to care for her and even if he
had the money he probably could
not hire anyone. He has more than
he can do properly, without a wife
and mother, to care for the rest of
the children. The School for the
Feeble Minded has an application on
file, a description of the case and the
urgency but can do nothing.
There are at least 20 applications
Of a similar kind on file and many of
the cases are quite as urgent as this
one. Furthermore, the superintend-
ent says vacancies seldom occur
The girl must become a public
charge and the only thing I could
suggest was the city almshouse, not
at all equipped to care for a case of
this kind. And the city must foot
the bills, whatever they may be, per-
haps for number Of years, and this
poor unfortunate girl go without the
care she needs.
do l blame the LEGISLATURE? No.
I blame all Of us that we do not give
some heed and some thought to this
situation and let our representatives
in the Legislature know that we will
stand behind them in a constructive
program to meet this situation, cost
what it will.
I'VE can't spend our money in a
way that will secure larger returns,
both from a humanitarian stand
point and on question of simple
dollars and cents"

nearly all growers are, that Che only
proper thing to do is to hold the wool

method of handling their wool il en-

past 1t has been the custom to dis

the profit. The Maine Sheen and

was accompanied by Merton r. UNI

Mr.. Brown in Aroostook county last
week gathered samples of milk, in
spected diaries. investigated local
conditions and held conferences with
local health officers. Mr.. Umberhind
made store inspections and took sam
Piles of ice cream and vinegar. They
covered 100 miles in IL days
Mr.. BIpwn said that conditions in
general among the dairies were found
to be very satisfactory, although
some were in better shape than 9TH
ers. All the producers were found in
good spirit of cooperation and not
the slightest opposition was found.
Messrs. Brown and Umberhind This
week visited the beaches, taking in
Ogunquit, York Beach, York Harbor.
York Village and Kittery Samples
OF milk were taken from the retailers
and vinegar from the stores. The
creamery at Portsmouth, which SUD-
plies part of Kittery and the gov
eminent navy yard, was inspected
and found to be in excellent condition.
Mr.. Brown reports that in the case
OF the violators of the law up in Ok
ford county, he has had eight of the
Offenders in the Norway municipal
court before Judge VIM. F. Jones.
Five Of them pleaded guilty of nolo
contendere, one case was dropped.
one was suspended by request of Mr.,
Brown and one fought the charge, but
was found guilty. He appealed, but
settled the case after court The
guilty parties were each fined $40 and
costs.
MIR. Brown is now getting together
his material for his departments ex-
hiblt at the Eastern States Exposition
in September at Springfield. He pro-
poses to have good exhibit, includ-
ing full showing Of the Turner Cen
ter Creamery products and BIZ

showing the volume of the dairy busi-
ness, cattle, etc, and other things.
One thing that is rather difficult to
secure is Maine cheese. very little of
that article now being made in this
State, where once. large Quantities

The Price of Milk

Mr.. Adams says that the market
committee of the New England Milk
Producers Association will meet in
the last week of August with the
nfik dealers of Boston to discuss the
prices of milk for the fall months
1t is said that the increased freight
rates that will go into effect about
Sept. will amount to three mills per
quart.
1t is also said that the milk pro-
ducers' employees are demanding an
increase of wages on the same date.
one man says that alone will mean
the addition of a cent a quart to the
price of milk. The Turner Center
Creamery is considering a system of
bonuses, which would obviate the in
creased wages, while the other pro-
ducers must meet the Increase

 Reindeer hair is in great demand for the filling of life saving appara- tus, and from the horns is made the best existing glue. Two great articles, smoked reindeer tongues and tanned skins, are among the principal pro ducts of the great annual fair at Nischnij -Novogorod, Russia.
 "In Lapland Con an area of 14,OOO square miles) there are about 100000 head of reindeer, sustaining in com fort some 26,0OO people. There is no reason why Arctic and sub-Arctic Alaska should not sustain popula- tion of 100000 people with 100000 head of reindeer"
 Lapland sends to market about 22,- 900 head of reindeer a year, the sur plus of her herd; which at an average weight per carcass dressed of about one hundred and fifty pounds, is equal to 1,60O tons. AS this industry in the near future, as source of meat sup ply from lands comparatively value less for agricultural purposes, be- comes apparent. The present herds are nearly all located on the western coast from the Kuskokwim to Point Barrow, distance of some 800 miles, but in the near future this industry will extend over the entire Alaska peninsula and many northern locali- ties not yet occupied. Those best acquainted with surrounding condi- tions estimate that Alaska has graz ing grounds sufficient to support from 1OOO0,OOO to 20,0O0,O00 head of stock Under such conditions meat export with it's product will form an i'm portant item in Alaska's undeveloped resources.

PRIVATES WHOLE SHOW
 IN NEW MEICAL CORPS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 (by Asso- ciated Press). - "For buck priyatss only"-such is the way in which your old soldier already affectionately re- fers to the new medical administra- tive corps created by the law de organizing the army. This is the one branch of the service where regula- tions expressly stipulate that it's of ficers must be from the ranks.
 The new corps is to have a mem bership of one man to every 2,000 en- peculiar provisions, all officers in this corps must be picked from among the enlisted men of at least two years service ill the medical department, who are eligible to become second lieutenants, if between the ages of 21 and 32. Thy can rise to the grade of captain.
 Already 140 enlisted men have been commissioned; 50 as captains, 20 as first lieutenants, and 70 as second leutenants. Outsiders cannot be com missioned at all in the medical ad- ministrative corps.
 "In this new way" announces Gen. eral P c. Harris, the adjutant general of the army, linen who enlist in the medical corps and obtain some tech nical training in clinical dental, dis pensary, laboratory, or X-ray work, can soon qualify to become commis- stoned officers in the army. All ex perts receive extra pay, and are placed in the particular section of the medical service best suited to their capacities. Recruits are especially desired for this branch of the army, and opportunities for rapid promotion and better pay are many"
 In addition, for the first time in the history of the army, a medical regiment has been authorized, with a strength of SS7 men. The new com mand will be known as the second medical regiment, assigned to the second division, now recruiting up to full strength at Camp Travis, San Antonio, Texas. A telegraphic hurry up order has gone out from Major General Harris to all recruiting sta tions to enlist men for this particu- lar outfit.
 Under the new tables such a regi- | ment consists of an administrative company, sanitary battalion, an am bulance battalion, and a veterinary l company.
