AND INSTALL

First Player-We have reformed
that indifferently. with US, sir"
"Hamlet-O reform it altogether"
TWO thirds of our grave and digni-
fed Legislature decided that three
matters were of such great concern
that our State Constitution should
be amended in those three particu-
! lars-or did they simply pass the
buck" saying to themselves: 80,
well, let the people vote on it?"I
Anyhow. the Legislature invoked
, the great and glorious referendum at
which all the dear people, hearts
bursting with civic pride and pulses
leaping responsively to the call of
duty, both male and female alike
endowed with the dearly bought
privilege of suffrage, might express
| that public opinion which topples
tyrants on their thrones. So the
election machinery was set to work,
| ballots were printed and distributed,
the polls were opened and the public
bid to the feast of that blessed priv
ilege accorded only to freemen and
freewomen.
The results at this writing are in
doubt. No one seemed to be in any
hurry to report, probably because
there was no public curiosity to sat
! isfy. Augusta that last fall cast 4514
votes for Governor cast as high as
SAT at the referendum. A similar
| proportion appears to have obtained
throughout the State.
Indifference and instability walk
| hand in hand. They are not the
Gold Dust Twins. however. as they in
no way help to clean up the situa-
| ton. They are the Trouble Twins,
under the suspicion of every enter
| prise in need of enthusiasm and
! stability for assurance to go ahead.
| If no more people than appears in
| this referendum vote are interested
in the questions pertaining to our
highways it matters not what
the Constitution permits or
| doesn't permit, those highways
will become the thoroughfares
to graft, But of course the
vote doesn't measure the interest.
II does, however, reveal an indiffer-
ence that is dlscreditable to Maine
and her good name and dscouraging
! to every citizen who is striving to
have her come into her rightful her
itage. If it also shall discourage the
! Legislature in this matter of invok-
| ing the referendum we shall be glad.
! One discouraged individual, noted
, for his interest in civic matters,
! speaking out OF his Indignation over
! the result declared that in self pro-
! lection it ought to be provided that
no proposed change in the Constitu-
! ton which didn't receive IS per cent
of the possible vote should become a
law. What do YOU think Of it?

tomobile association today said the as
sociation is preparing to boost some
of the new state parks particularly the
new Vinegar Mills park in Jennings
county. This park lies between North
Vernon and Vernon and consists or

raphy. Circulars describing the new
park are being prepared by the com
mercial organizations of Vernon and
North Vernon and the Hoosier State
Automobile association will send these
to the entire membership throughout
the state with a view of interesting
tourists to make trips to the park.
Anticipating an influx of visitors,
Vernon and North Vernon are prepar-
ing list of private houses where mo-
florists may obtain meals or lodging.
which will be included in the circular
sent out by the motor association.
Manager Noblett of the association
says we'll marked highways lead into
the park from either Vernon or North
Vernon. We have a complete tour
ing bureau, constantly in touch with
road conditions and useful informa
ton, which service is free to our mem
bership," says MIR. Noblett. Motor
car owners of the state are urged to
affiliate with the state association
which is a civic organization, not con-

The Home Garden

Many insects attack the crops
grown in the home garden, often caus-
ing serious damage.
Insects are controlled chiefly by
spraying or busting the plants with
some poisonous material that will kill
them. Some poison that will be taken
into the stomach with the plants or
leaves eaten will control most of
them. Paris Green, arsenate of lead
or white hellibore are the ones most
commonly used. Examples of the
eating insects are the cabbage worm
and potato beetle. Insects which OBJ
tain their food by piercing the leaf
with their bill and sucking the juice
from the plant, are controlled by con-
tact solutions such as extracts from
tobacco. Apply the spray when the in
sects first appear. Cover the plants
thoroughly especially in the case of
plant lice. as the liquid must touch

BELIEVE ELkS Will
REJECT $4,000 OFFER

Richmond lodge of Elks. No. 649,
will consider an offer Of 100000 for
its club property on North Eighth
street at a meeting Thursday night.
Sentiment expressed at a meeting last
Thursday night indicated almost unan-
imous opposition to the sale, and it is
believed that the offer will be rejected
tonight.
Some members assert that the ia
foot frontage on North Eighth street
is worth $1,000 a foot. The determin-
ing factor however, is the opinion
that no better site for a club building
could be found in Richmond than the
present one.

to prevent the Germans from learning
about the first destroyers sent over. They
sailed under sealed orders, and until
he was fifty miles at sea and broke the
seal not even the commander Of the
fotila knew its destination.
Yet the day before the division arrived
German submarines, for the first time
in months, sowed mines all across the
entrance to Queenstown, and the Ger
man papers printed the news of our de
stroyers' arrival before 1t was published
in England or America. The latter is
more easily accounted for, as it was
several days before we announced that
they had reached a British port, but the
mine laying led many to believe that the
enemy had, in some way, learned they
were coming.
When oar first troop conveys went to
Europe they were attacked far out at
sea, and Admiral Sims cabled that it
was practically certain that the enemy
knew positions Of the first rendezvous
ind accordingly sent a submarine to
intercept before junction with destroy
ers." Though Sims afterward discounted
the idea that the conyoys were attacked,
he was excited enough about 1t at the
time, for he sent pe two cabiegrams
about 1t in three da5s.
But whatever the Germans might have
