without permission. There are some
times special reasons why a citizen
is justified in carrying weapon for
protection; in that case he should 60

a permit. To refuse to grant this
permission for good reason would
put the law-abiding citizen at the
mercy of the thug.
If the penalty for carrying deadly
weapons without license were made
heavier and punishment more certain

fact that a pistol and brass knucks

A Mexican gentleman decided to
be a Bolshevist and began by re-

was buried in Mexico City, in a

carried red and black flags.
The coffin, bright red, will look

Pistol Toters.

# all the pistol toters could be
rounded up and gathered into one
vast crowd, we should have the op-
portunity of looking at one OF the
sorriest and most cowardly set OF
people on earth. AS rule the man
who carries a pistol with him carries
q consciousness Of inferiority and an
unwillingness to settle his conflicting
problems by the usual means employ
ed by people Of character. He is q
constant menace, since his weak ma
t,re renders him irritable and the
ready gun in his hip pocket gives him
. spirit of bravado which gets him
into trouble that he could not be
driven into on equal terms.
Nearly every daily paper recounts
gun work; usually over trivial mat
ters. A fash of fire and poof! out
goes a life.
Now these people who shoot so
readily c. not get into fights when
they leave their guns at home. From
a pugnacious standpoint they are
harmless enough when unarmed.
This being the case and there being
no earthly reason why a well-behav-
cd citizen should carry a firearm, the
hsavisst penalty should be inflicted

Planting Fall Irish Potatoes.

The greatest dtnculty In the grow
ing Of a second crop over that of
a spring crop is the defective stand,
which may be overcome by employ
ing the careful planting and cultural
methods necessary at this season.
The fall or second crop of potatoes
may follow the spring crop or any
crop that is off the ground by the
first of July. Planting after the
spring crop is especially desirable,
as volunteer" plants from the first
crop will add to the stand of the
second crop.
Soil-This crop delights in and
grows and produces to perfection on
a rich sandy loam soil underland by
a clay subsoil retentive of moisture.
However, the absence of such soil
should not be hindrance in the grow
ing of Irish potatoes for home con-
sumption, as they adapt themselves
to a great diversity of we'll drained
soils.
Preparation of Soil-Thcrough
preparation can not be stressed too
much. This consists of thorough and
deep turning, followed Immediately
by narrowing until thoroughly pull
verized seed-bed is formed. Rows or
deep burrows, 8 to 8 1-2 feet apart,
should be laid off and well thrown
cut, using either turning plow or
a shovel plow.
Fertilizers-Both barnyard manure
and commercial fertilizer ar, used,
but the former must be well rotted
and judiciously applied; other wise,
scab and similar diseases mcy re-
suit. In the use of commercial fer
tilizer, a complete mixture, phos-
phoric acid 8 to per cent, nitrogen
4 to 5 per cent, and potash 4 to 3
per cent. is advised. The fertility
and physical condition of the soil
should determine the amount of the
application.
Barnyard manure, if used, should
be applied broadcast, 8 to 10 tons
per acre, and thoroughly disced into
the soil. In the use of commercial
fertilizer, it is best to apply in the
drill, using 800 to 1,500 pounds per
acre depending upon the strength Of
the soil, and thoroughly mix with the
soil; otherwise, a poor stand may be
obtained as result Of the contact
of fertilizer and tuber,.
Varieties and Time Planting-W
the many varieties suitable for fall
planting the Lookout Mountain is
usually recommended as bsing the
best and most popular in South
Carolina, not because of its superior
table quality but by reason Of its
good yield and excellent keeping
quality. Substitutes for this may be
such spring varieties as the Cobbler
and the Early Rose, each of which
is good but neither of which is nearly
50 good for the fall crop as the
Lookout Mountain.
This crop should be planted from
July 10 to about August depend
ing upon climatic conditions Of the
section in which it is to be grown
warmer climates calling for later
planting. Fall varieties amount to
very little when planted out Of season
and this Is especially true Of the
Lookout Mountain variety. "Better
safe than sorry"

GETTING TIRED OF IT

A very natural reaction to the attitude
of Europe in the matter of payment fol
THE American expenses of occupation of
Germany has appeared in the United States
|Senate, where senators of such ordinarily
widely differing opinion as Messrs. Lodge,
Underwood and Borah have expressed the
&belief that the American troops should i'm
mediately be withdrawn.
& As practical, common sense PROPOSE
lion it would seem that this is the proper
thing to do The United States derives
no benefit from maintaining it's troops in
Mtne Rhineland. They were kept there at
a the urgent request of the allies and with
the clear understanding that the expense
ol such maintenance was to be paid out o
The reparations settlements made by Ger
many.
NOW, on presentation of a demand for
payment, the United States is met with
evasion, delay and the raising of technical
questions as to our right to demand re-
muneratiop from the reparations pay
ments, and with the suggestion that we
must look directly to Germany for such
4 enumeration rather than to the repara-
| lions commission.
II is all of piece with the calm Euro
pean assumption that Uncle Sam is a
SIMPLE minded old giant with more money
than sense and that the laudable and cor
rect thing to do is to take the money
away from him in as large chunks as pos
sMioie, and make him enjoy the process.
Inc symptoms, however, of being tired of
THIS attitude are becoming daily more
evident on the part of Uncle Sam.-Mil-

THE CHECK-OFF SYSTEM.

This system is one of the points at is
sue in the coal strike. This system first
became a part of wage agreements be-
tween the operators and miners in few
bituminous mines, in 1898. Since then
the check of system has developed grad
ually until now it is in vogue in most of
the bituminous mines which are ununion-
ized, but it has not been adopted in the
anthracite mines. The general public
know very little about this system, little
having been said about it in the news
papers. Briefly, it is a system whereby
the mine operator deducts from the min
ers' wages his union dues al d assess
ments and pays the money over to the
treasurer of the union of which the min :
eT is a member.
Prior to the adoption of this system a
committee of each local union stood at
the mouth of the mine on the day when
dues were to be paid and if a miner did
not pay the union refused permission for
him to return to work. The so called
check off system took the collection of
dues and assessments out of the hands of
the local unions and placed the power of
coercion in the hands of the officers of
the United Mine Workers with the result
that the mine operators had 10 check off
from every payroll sum of money
amounting in the aggregate to large
amount. If the system ha been worked
solely for the purpose of collecting dues
and assessments there might not be any
serious objection to it by the operators
1t is charged, however, and the charge is
probably true, that considerable por-
ton of the money thus collected has been
used by the union officials against the
people who have acted as collectors. 1t
has also been charged that some 81, OOO,-
600 of this money has been used in efforts
to induce non union miners, especially in
West Virginia, to violate their contracts
with the operators and was therefore IL
legal. But that is matter for the courts
to decide.

MRS, FRANCIS NEVILLE tMONROE)
HOPKINS.

In the death of Mrs. Francis Neville
tMonroe) Hopkins at her home in Wash
inston, d. c., on April IS, from the effects
of the grippe, two of Belfasts early
families lose a prominent member, who
will be recalled by our older residents.
Her maiden name was Frances Anna
Monroe and her girlhood was passed in
Belfast, where she was born September
8, I8i8, the oldest child of DR.. Nahum
Parker and Ann Sarah (Johnson) Monroe.
Throughout the middle third of the last
century DR.. Monroe was leading physi-
clan here. During the Civil War he was
a noted surgeon of the goth Maine Regi-
ment. Mrs. Monroe' accompanied her
husband to the front, and her services in
the hospitals, and in connection with the
Sanitary Commission were prominent.
DR.. Monroe later removed with his family
to Baltimore, Md. In the latter place his
daughter, Frances Anna married February
7, 1870, Francis Neville Hopkins, who died
February 10, 1879. He was the son of
Gerard Thomas Hopkins Jr., whose father
was cousin to j ohns Hopkins, founder of
the Hospital, University etc, in Baltimore
bearing his name. Johns Hopkins was
brought up and given his start in life by
his cousin Gerard. On her mothers side
the subject of this notice was descended
in the third genera ton from Rev. Alfred
johnson, the second minister to be settled
in Belfast, through his son Alfred john
son, who for many years was Judge OF
Probate here. Though the greater past o.
her Ii fe had been spent in Washington ID.
c., where she was widely known and So
cially prominent, Mrs. Hopkins retained
her love for Belfast, and was always in
terested in hearing of her girlhood friends
and of the changes and developments
whic half a century had brought TO her
native place and it's surroundings. Pos
sessed of a generous and hospitable nature
a nd gracious manner her home was, to
the last, center for a large circle OF
friends and relatives. Her love of family
was very strong. She was most devoted
mother and extended her maternal care
and affection to her grandchildren and
great grandchildren to rem rkabe de-
gree. OF her immediate family she was
the last of her generation. Her parens, two
sisters, who died in infancy, and her
brother, Alfred johnson Monroe, are all
buried in Grove, Cemetery, this city. She
was buried in Washington from her home

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

In his quarterly report of the progress
of boys and girls club work in Maine,
conducted under the auspices of the COL
lege of Agriculture extension service,
State Leader, Lester N. Shibles states
that the total enrolment up to April 1
was 1906 members, in comparison with
5O4 during the corresponding period last
year. Every county shows an increase.
Cumberland has the largest enrolment,
but Oxford, Andrescoggin and Sagadahoc
counties have made the highest percent
ages of gain.
The sewing, cooking and housekeeping 6
and poultry projects have the largest en-
rollment, in the order named. More than
half of the increase in enrolment thus
far is in these three projects. Mr.. Shbles
credits this fine showing of early enroll
ments to three causes: Better functioning 6
of Farm Bureau organization; increase in
number of standard clubs; increase in
number of field agents.
The counties whose enrolment exceed
ed 100 April were: Cumberland, 214;
Androscoggin and Sagadahoc, loo; Ok
ford, ISL; York, 1873; Kennehec. 125. The
other counties followed in this order:
Washington, Somerset, Hancock, Waldo,
Knox and Lincoln. Piscataquis, Franklin,
Penobscot, Aroostook.
The total enrolment in the Maine clubs
last year was 3337 1t is hoped that the
activity evidenced by tine early enroll
meut is an indication that last years rec =
ord of membership will be surpassed.

CORN FOR THE SILO.

County agents and state field workers
connected with the College of AQricul-
ture extension service are recommending
! the planting of New York Mammoth yell
low flint corn for silaee purposes. This
recommendation is based on an analysis
OF results of silage corn demonstrations
hat have been conducted several years
by the extension service in cooperation
with farmers throughout the state, the
object being to secure evidence relative
to comparative yield and value of numer-
GUS varieties.
AS 20 time of planting, character of
soil, fertilization, cultivation and harvest
ing, New York Mammoth has been grown
under equal conditions with Eureka,
Leaning, Red Cob, Sanford, Eight Row.
ed, Twelve Rowed, Prizetaker, Longfel-
low and other varieties
AS a result of the demonstrations the
number of Maine farmers using the New
York Mammoth for silage has increased
every year. Last years acreage of this
variety in Maine was 1924 acres, compar-
ed with 440 in 1919. Many farmers grow
it exclusively, having become convinced
that it gives the best results. In every
county some of it was planted last year.

The average yield of all varieties of si-

value of yield of this variety was S102 80
