Castine Devereux Home Is
Rich in Historical Relations

Castine has many old attractive home
steads. There are several examples oil
large and comfortable Revolutionary
homes.
The Mark Devereux home, six miles
out, is one; and in this occurred an
incident of the war of 1912 which will
bear recounting. The British knew that
powder was secreted in or near this house
and were determined to get it. But,
when the commander and his men arrived,
Great grandmother was prepared to meet
him. She stood ironing in the great
kitchen, hanging the finished articles On
pegs driven into the closed door behind
her.
The officer roughly demanded the pow
der but Great grandmother faced him
stolidly across her board and ironed on.
He swore and ordered search to be made
while she noncommitally ironed on and
hung up another finished article, slam
ming her iron upon the hot bricks and
glancing glumly at her tormentors. Tie
officer threatened to burn the house over
her head, but she flinched pot-only iron
ed ON, sourly remarking as she hung the
last of her work on the remaining peg
that she supposed the men had ransacked
every nook. !
Somewhat crestfallen and at last very
apologize for his fruitless intrusion, the
officer withdrew his men and, when they
were safely on their way, Great grand
mother took down all her neatly ironed
garments, disclosed the wood closet so
dangerously close to the great fire, took
sundry bags of powder from their tempo
rary lodging and slowed them back in
one of the recently ransacked hiding
places-at last sweetly smiling all over
her usually sour countenance!
Many of our finest old homes were built
during the last decade of the 18th CEN
tury or during the l9tl century. They
are generously commodious old homes,
Square" homes as they are called, with
four great chimneys or some with two
even larger dimensions. !

NEW YORK FLINT CORN.
Found By Knox and Lincoln Farmers To
BE Best for Silage.


From statements and figures obtained
from the various farmers who carried on
the silage corn demons trations the New
York Flint was found to be far superior
to the other varieties planted, says the
Anox d Lincoln Farm Bureau News. The
Improved Leaning was the only corn
which compared with it. This variety,
as well IS the New York Flint, reached a
height of 10 to II feet, and both matured
SO that when cut for the silo the ears
were well formed and had reached the
glazed stage. Other varieties planted n
comparison with the New York Flint
grew rank but did not mature ears and
consequently would not make as valuable
silage.
One farmer, when asked what his sill
age corn yielded, remarked: II ha We
more corn than know what to do with; !;
have filled my silo and have the remain
ing corn stacked around the sides of the
field"
L. L. Mank of Waldoboro saved his own
seed this last year. with the result that
this year his piece of corn was better than
the preceding year. In 1920 he planted A
rows and filled his 8xeO silo to within two
feet OF the top. This year, from 40 rows.
he filled the silo even full. He has one
fourth acre which he has topped and is
going to use for seed next year
A number of other favorable reports
have reached the Farm Bureau office and
next year more farmers should plant this
variety, which has been tried and proved
superior. Gazette.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL"

If you were telephone girl and stood
at switchboard in a rush hour and il
some one took the telephone off the hook
when there were forty otis people doing
the same thing within Il minute, and if
that person having waited ten seconds
should ask you if you were asleep, how
would you like i,2
If you were a telephone girl and you
had eighteen telephone wires with plugs
at the ends inserted in eighteen connec-
tions to enable thtrty-six people to talk,
and there were seven of these close to-
gether and couple of people hung up
their phones and you pulled out of the
maze the wrong wire and cut two people
of from talking, would you think it fair
If either of the victims sWore a little and
asked you if you were out late last night?
1t would, no doubt, do us all good to
put ourselves in the other PERSONS place
whenever we are inclined to find fault
with public service.
