thod of raising tulips, DR.. Van AIKEN
stressed the utmost care which is
being taken in the tulip fields of
Holland. In order to get every i'm
perfect plant, the inspector on a
sunny day, carries an umbrella over
his head. This Is so that the suns
rays will not obstruct his view. There
Is tiny worm which infests the
tulips. When the inspector finds one
he marks the plant. Then at the end
of the day, the field is gone over,
and no matter II 1t is one or q dozen
or more infected tulips, they are dug
up and the plants in a radius Of six
feet are also dug up. The earth in
that area Is taken UP, put onto
barges and carried far out to sea
and dumped. Before the bulbs are
sent abroad, each one is soaked in
water hot enough to kill every germ,
but just below the degree that would
kill the life of the bulb. That gives
some idea of the inspection that the
tulip undergoes."
Complete Reciprocity
When DR.. Van AIKEN learns OF any
one returning from Holland. he
makes 1t q point to see them and
gain from the first hand, their i'm
pressions of the country. Most par
ticularly he asks them to tell him
about what they didn't like in Hol-
land. And this information he pass
es along to the point where the mis-
take can be remedied. The Neither
lands Chamber of Commerce is not
a government institution but rather
is supported by private business men
of Holland. They work for the in.
terests of the United States. There
are today, % foreign chambers of
commerce in New York city work
ing along similar lines. But Hol-
land, because of her part in the his
tory of the world, a neutral country,
country with the wide open door
to the world, a country busy with in
dustry, with culture, has q place,

DIR. Van AIKEN in Interview
Tells of Dixie Country's
Great Tulip
Industry

DR.. Neil Van AIKEN Of New York
City, in charge of the publicity OF
the Netherlands Chamber of Com
merce, located in that city. is Wis
iting with Mrs. Van AIKEN in the
city for a few days with Mrs. Van
Aken's father, Power S. Mooney, OF
Court street and what DIR. Van
AIKEN does not know about the
Netherlands, especially Holland, is
not worth bothering about. He Is a
gold mine of information for anyone
seeking knowledge about this coun-
try Of the tulip, the diamond and
Sumatri tobacco.
The Netherlands Chamber Of Com
merce was established at the close
of the World War to establish
economic, cultural and travel con-
ditions between the Netherlands and
the United States and DIR. Van AIKEN
has been its publicity head since its
organization. Born in Holland and
living there for a number of years,
he is most well qualified to talk up
on the subject. He came to this
country 80 years ago but lost no
time in taking out citizenship pa
pers and is a citizen of the United
States.
Served In World War
Those who know him we'll tell a
story about him, which the doctor
doent mention. When the library
at Louvain was destroyed, every bit
of love, which was a great deal, for
the place was accentuated by a
desire for retribution. He applied
at the nearest recruiting station.
He expressed his desire to enlist.
The officer in charge said. Alright
come back day after tomorrow
And the doctor replied, Il cannot
then, because / will be As years old"
And the officer replied, Il am a
doctor and will examine you now,''
and DR.. Van AIKEN took the first
step in becoming soldier. He went
overseas witl~t the Rainbow Division
out of New York State and served
Is months in France.
Anything that anybody wants to
know about the Netherlands, they
will receive answers to their ques-
tions at the Netherlands Chamber
of Commerce If information re-
garding crop prospects is desired it
is forthcoming. In the cultural
phase of the work, recently in New
paintings was held. That exhibit
ton will be sent to other large cit
les of the United States for display.
If any news about travel condi-
tioins Is desired. that port of the
work Is under the direct control Of
DIR. Van AIKEN. A letter of introduce
tioin to responsible people, going to
the Netherlands, can be furnished
from the Chamber. Audience, even
to the Queen, can be arranged
through this medium.
Hollands Trade With v. s.

After the first of next = year no
daffodils, narcissi or jonquils can
be shipped to the United States
| from Holland. This embargo is
placed by the Department of Horti-
culture and the predictions are that
in time it will reach to the tulip.
DR.. Van AIKEN points out that II
| has been proven that tulips, from
| the Seed, cannot be raised to the
| sturdy and consistent growth in the
| United States and cannot compete
with the Holland grown tulips. Ever
natives of Holland coming to this
| country with the knowledge of years
. accommodating. cannot make a sue
| cess of it. 1t has been proven that
| in Holland the climate and the sol
are the very best for tulip raising
! And the tulip raisers of Holland are
| most patient. Even when they
come to this country they lose that
! quality Of patience.
Forced to Grow Tulips During the
War
| A fact that is very little known
| in this country regarding the tulip
industry in Holland is that during
| the war they could not stop raising
tulips, because to stop would be to
lose the work of years and would
mean beginning anew. So they kept
on raising tulips. But of course they
had no market or a very small mar
ket. So the tulip bulbs were ground
up and mixed with flour and used in
baking. A great deal of the tulip
-four was used in Belgium. While DR..
Van AIKEN has never tasted any he
| has been told that 1t can be used
most satisfactorily.
Holland has always been an open
door to the world. And history
shows us, DR.. Van AIKEN pointed out,
, that she has lost nothing by it.
Three hundred years ago, the Port
uegese-Jews, driven out of their own
country, went to Holland. With
| them they brought their trade, that
of diamond cutting. And today mi
Amsterdam alone, there are 10000
diamond cutters. all Jews.
The biggest market in the world
| for Sumatri tobacco, is in Holland.
The tobacco is brought there and
sold at auction. This leaf Is espec-
tally fitted as wrappers for cigars
as it is neutral 1t had no odor and
lnuS as u wrapper uoeS not iHlcrlere
with the inside tobacco of a cigar.
Praises Maine Publicity
DR.. Van AIKEN was high in his
praise of the State Of Maine Pub
licity campaign. He said that In his
stay in Maine he has learned many
things about the publicity game
which he is taking back to New
York with him to aid in the work of
the Netherlands Chamber of Com
merce.
'''The State Of Maine publicity is
very well organized and it Is doing
splendid work. considering the
short time it has been in action. l
think the literature which the bur-
eau is handing out is excellent. They
answer questions very quickly,
courteously and adequately. And the
Maine publicity work is ahead of all
others in the United States, with the
exception of the tourist state of Cali
fornia and possible Florida. Maine
is certainly to be commended upon
her excellent work in this line"

is soon to be placed upon small
bulbs, and referring back to the me-

Mrs. George ID. Swift

On Friday morning at the farm on
the Pond road, which has been her
lifelong home, occurred the death
of Mrs. Clara Augusta Swift, wife
of George d. Swift. Mrs. Swift had
been i'll for the past twelve weeks
but word of her passing was received
by the entire community with sim
cere sorrow. She would have OBJ
served the S1st anniversary Of her
birth this Saturday, August 8.
Mrs. Swift was the last of four
children and was born in the town
which has been her home for 81
years, the daughter of Lewis P. and
Olive r. Sawtelle. Besides the hus-
tand she is survived by two sons,
willis E. Swift of Augusta and Lewis
D. Swift Of Sidney: also by two
grandchildren, Raymond w. Swift
of Waterville and Mrs. Marjorie
Swift Sullivan of Augusta. There
are four great-grandchildren.
Aunt 'Gusty," as she was known
to veritable legion of friends of
three generations, was a woman OF
wonderful attainments and charac-
ter. Until her last illness, Mrs. Swift
retained all her faculties and always
evinced the keenest interest and un-
derstanding of world events. she
was beloved by a wide circle of
friends, not only in the little farm
ing community where she was born,
married, raised her family and lived
her life, buh~ also by all who ever
was priveledged to meet the mother
ly woman and came to know her
sweet personality and great kindA-
ness.
She had a perfectly splendid char
acter and truly delightful person.
ality, and was ever considerate of
others. Even during the twelve
weeks Of her last illness her
thoughts were not of herself. but
of the neighbers and friends who
might need her ministration. She
subscribed to the Universalist faith,
and though particularly in her latter
life the opportunities to attend de-
vine services were not frequent or
regular, the late Mrs. Swift was no
less one of Gods true noblewoman.

BAN Frs WILL
FIGHT BANDITS
Organize Against HoIdup
Men in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS June l5,-Law
enforcement in Indiana is becoming
almost completely demorallEed so
serious has the situation become
that the state Bankers association
has formed statewide vigilance
organization in an attempt TO put
an end 20 bandltry.
Between April and June 6 there
were IL successful bank holdups In
Indiana and only one that was un.
successful. During that period han.
dts obtained n total OF S4s. go from
Indiana banks. Their activities GOV.
cred all parts or the state. including
indianapolis.
The Bankers association has
asked the federal government for
arms and ammunition to be used In
combaing banditry. Meetings for
the formation OF vigilance commit.
tees, sponsored by the bankers.
have been held in nearly every coun.
ty in the state.
Meanwhile, no bank bandits. with
the exception OF some amateurs,
who robbed the wadcsville bank OF
SIS. have been caught.
