PUT IN CROPS

Still time to plan to put out in a
small patch of roots, rutabaga. turnips,
mangels or carrots. For the farmer
who hasn't a silo, roots offer the most
satisfactory succulent sileage substi-
tute. What apples and green yege-
tables are to the human in winter,
roots are to the cattle. Any person
who has ever watched a COW dig her
nose into a part of slicer roots will APP
preciate how much the cattle like
them. They are not only a food but a
tonic.
Many successful farmers plant roots
to feed their cattle in the late fall be-
fore the silo is opened. The season
when pastures still afford a little feed
but not sufficient TO keep up the milk
flow. 1t postpones the date of opening
the silo and does away with the waste
resulting when q sufficient amount of
sileage is not fed daily. Next winter
will see more Marathon County far

than ever before. Roots have no equal

GEORGE BYRON JAMESON.

George B. Jameson, lifelong resi-
dent of Ellsworth, and one of it's use
full and worthy citizens, died last
Thursday, in the seventyfrst year of
his age.
Mr.. Jameson was born in Ellis
worth. AS a young man he learned
the trade of a sailmaker, and worked
at it for years, for some time being
in business for himself. This
naturally led to awning work, and
with the decline of sail-making here,
he gave most of his attention to avn
ing work. adding to this carpet
cleaning and laying.
He was a useful citizen, good
neighbor and loyal friend. He
leaves a widow, one son, Edward D..
Jameson of Bangor, and one sister,
Mrs. Clifford Cousins of Ellsworth.
The funeral was held at the home
Sunday afternoon, Rev. r. H.
Moyle officiating.

There are more women In industry
In Japan than there are men, accord
to statement recently made by the
War Work Council of the Young Wo-

The world war has brought $4,000
women and girls into the daily grind
Of industry according to this state
ment; 10000 of them little girls under
fifteen years of age who work twelve
hours at wage of ten to twenty cents
a day, that the world may have silk
dresses and munitions.
In Tokyo alone, a city of two and
one-half million people, there are 1O0,.
900 women employed In sixty-two In.
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators, clerks,
stenographers and bookkeepers to
work in silk and other sorts of fac
'orles and domestic work.
Each year thousands Of these wo.
men go back to their homes In the
country, broken In health and victims
OF tuberculosis because of the poor
conditions under which they work and
live. They are housed In dormitories
in the factory compound. These dormi-
tories are frequently unsanitary. The
girls work long hours, have no recre-
alton and on finishing their long day

Of these is Mrs. Suzuki, the most

Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to

a permanent school where japanese

in reading his papers and magazines.
He could bark back to events of his
boyhood and early life, and his first
trips to Boston when the streets of
that city were lighted by fish-oil
lamps. He enjoyed nothing better
than recital of some of his earlier
experiences, unless it was his work
in his garden, in which he took de-
served pride. He continued his
work in his garden all through the
past summer, and his almost daily
walks down town until the severe
weather of the past few weeks pre-
vented.

address of welcome, Friday, the
thirteenth, for the thirteenth reun-

visits in Lamoine in summer, and
those staunch friends of Lamoine,
Eben Googins, Ansel Reynolds, J. F..
Coolidge, and others.
The business meeting resulted in
the reelection of Crosby r. Young
as president and Anna M Young as
secretary and treasurer. The asso-
citation also voted to have more stere-
opticon views made for next year, and
ones, are invited to send films, with
print OF each. of interesting places,
people or scenes of Lamoine, to the
| secretary, 211 Huntington avenue,
Boston. They will be returned as
soon as slides are made from them.
Letters were read from absent
ones in Stuart Fla, and others whom
illness kept at home. The program
consisted OF monologues by Miss AL

social hour and refreshments.

OBITUARY.
CAPT. NEHEMIAH H. MEANS.


Capt. Nehemiah HI. Means, Ellis
worth's oldest citizen, died Sunday,
in the ninety-sixth year of his age.
With no apparent disease, slight
cold overtaxed the heart, weakened
by age, and he passed out.
Capt. Means was born in Surry on
October Is, 1924, the youngest of a
family of eighteen children, of Jesse
Means, and all noted for longevity.
AT thirteen years of age he began GO
ing to sea, and at twenty-three had
reached the captains berth, going
coasting and southern trips. After
life on the sea longer than the av-
erage span, he retired to his farm on
the Surry road, and lived to enjoy
another good lifetime as farmer.
Capt. Means retained his health
and his faculties remarkably, except
that dimming eyesight deprived him
of the enjoyment he had long taken
