Traf ton at his Jersey farm which gives him distinction throughout New Eng land in that he is considered to have one of the best herds of Jersey cows outside of the Hood Farm in New England. Aside from that he holds the record for the amount of cream in any one month at the Skowhegan Jer sey Creamery, and in a list of cows furnishing butter fat to this creamery including nearly 1500 he received, last year, nearly twice as much per cow as the average of the entire number of the creamery. Most farmers getting a profit of $50 from a cow in a year consider that they have a good cow. but Mr. Traf ton from his cows received in a year $163.36 each in butter fat, disregard ing the milk, whereas the average in the creamery per cow is only $88.32. He has nothing in his herd but the pure bred Jersey type, mostly the Hood stock strain. His cows are exceptionally large for Jerseys and he probably has the largest heifer in New England. When she was 20 months old she girted six feet. He has one cow. Lassie of Highland, in the fifth month of her test in the ad vanced registry, that gave 68 13-17 pounds of butter. Sophie Hood made 60 pounds of butter in a month. He has recently purchased a bull from Hood Farm seven months old sired by Fog id vl Hood Farm. Another inter esting record that one of his herd has made In the stxth month after her freshening in seven days was made by Miss Crosby of 17 pounds and 11 4-5 ounces. That Mr. Trafton’s cows average well in the amount of butter fat is shown in the last month’s record at the Creamery where he made an av erage per cow of 38 1-2 pounds of butter fat. An interesting feature of i i his herd in regard to quality is shown in the Creamery record where with i 15 cows he led over another herd of 24 Guernsey cows. Mr. Trafton does all his farming in a big way. He has 30 acres of sweet corn for the factory. He will use the fodder for his silo in I connection with his dairy, thus mak- j ing in everything that he plants a j link that benefits his specialized phase of farming which is dairying, j Mr. Trafton dresses his land well and as a profit in dairying he reckons 1 that the dressing from his cattle is a big factor in producing a good hay I crop which is a most profitable crop j on a farm. He has in all about 50 head of Jersey cattle. He raises all his heifer calves. He has a big de mand for all his stock if he would sell it. but in the past few weeks he has purchased several head of young stock of the Hood strain to increase his herd. This farmer has a most ideal place for farming. He lives on what is known as Bigelow Hill, his farm sloping entirely toward the west and north and Is at an elevation of over a thousand feet, nearly the height I of land in this section.

M.—The sur- render of the entire German force in j German Southwest Africa closes one of the most important campaigns of the great war and releases for service elsewhere the African contingent. The campaign against the most im portant German-African colony was I considered so vita! that all the re t sources of the South African Union i were used in it, and its successful I conclusion probably means that de spite the fact that German East Afri ca remains unconquered a contingent will be dispatched to France, while additional forces will continue the campaign in East Africa. The final disposition of German Southwest Africa has not been offi cially announced, but it generally is believed here that it will become a part of the South African Union. History is repeating itself near Lublin in southern Russian Poland, where last September the Austro Germans experienced a severe check in their attempt against Warsaw. Russian Position Special dispatches from Petrograd report that the Russian position now j is very hopeful and that the possibil- j ity for the Austro-Germans carrying Warsaw by sudden onslaught is ob viated. It is explained by Russian commentators that the Austro-Ger man forces now are operating in a country which frequent campaigns j have turned into a desert and where the problems of transport and com missiariat are infinitely more complex than they were in the Galician opera tions. The Austrian reverse is explained by London military experts as due to the ardor of Archduke Ferdinand’s army, which in the rush on the Krasnik-Lub lin line go so far ahead of Field Mar shal von Mackenzen’s forces that a Junction was impossible and that the Russians being reinforced, flung them selves on their pursuers. Vienna admits that the Austrians have been compell ed to retreat from the Lublin region. The only success claimed by the Central powers along the eastern front is in southern Poland, west of the Vis tula river. Reinforcements West Reports continue to reach here by way of Holland that the Germans are sending heavy reinforcements to the western front. The press controversy over the dis agreement between Viscount Haldane, former minister of war. and Lord High Chancellor and David Lloyd George, minister of munition, grows in bitterness.

Merrill, president of the East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport, came very near meeting with a most serious accident Thurs day afternoon while on his way to Castine by automobile. Mr. Merrill met a heavy team from Bray’s Alili on the Castine road near the home of •Pearl Murnum. The horses became frightaned, and Mr. Merrill, in plan ning to give the team more room, ran too near the edge of the road which 1 as a very steep bank on the side and the automobile turned completely ever.

July 9.—(Special).— j Mary Louise Taylor, the 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Taylor was struck and instantly killed by the Waterville bound trolley car at about I 5.50 P. M. Friday, just below Doyle’s lane on Water street. The child had I been seen playing on a sand pile across the street from the car track, with three other children, just a few mo ments before. Kvidently she tried to dash across the track to the sidewalk ahead of the car. Motorman George Brown, who has the reputation of be long one of the most careful drivers on the read, stated that the car was not running at a fast rate of speed and that he did not see the child until she dashed directly In front of the car. He applied the brakes at once but the body was dragged about a hundred feet before the car came to a stand-1 still. The car was held on the spot where it stopped until Supt. Cole of. the road, Coroner Bates and Dr. Mc Kay of Augusta, who had been im mediately summoned, had arrived. Measurements were taken, the names of passengers and witnesses were se cured and the body was taken to Leonard's funeral parlors. The car was allowed to proceed. The deceased is survived by a father and mother and three little brothers. The sympathy of the entire communi ty is extended to the bereaved parents, who moved to this city from White field only a month ago. Funeral ar rangements will be announced later.

The work is expected to last for two months and will cost over *20,000. As usual the rain caused Hayden brook to overflow its borders and several small ponds were start ed at the North End. Very little dam age was done, however, the water jus; failing short of rising enough to get into the houses and cellars. The j streets in that end of the city were 1 rivers of water and walking was like wading in a brook. Subscribers of the Kennebec Jour 1 nal received their papers Friday. I some hours late, ow ing to a washout on the Maine Central which caused 1 all the night trains to be sent by way of Lewiston. The papers were started for Waterville at 2.50 by automobile, but did not get here until about 9 i o’clock because of the washed out j roadway. The carrier boys were ready for them and they were then distrib uted as rapidly as possible. The circus had an extremely hard time in getting out of the city not be ing able to leave until about 6.30 Fri da v morning. It was headed for Livermors Falls and hoped to be able to app-ear there as usual Friday, al though the manager was not at all optimistic regarding it. The things i that he had to say about Maine j weather would not bear printing. The circus has been in the State for sev- j eral weeks now and has had just two days of real good weather, and the members were hoping to get out as soon as possible to learn if there is sunshine in some other state. An innovation in the accounting of j the city went went into effect this j i month, the. auditor's report following 1 the passing of the July roll of ac counts being made up immediately and published on Friday morning. It has been customary for a number of years not to give out this report until i the day of the next meeting which made it practically a month late. The new style of sending it out. brings the matter up to date and enables heads of departments and others to i see just how the matters stand early in the month. Work on the alterations on the S. A. Dickinson block. Temple and Char.es streets is progressing rapidly. When completed A. F.

Company H. is now busily engaged in getting ready for the regular mus ter which will be held this year from Aug. 16 to 25. The hike will be to the same place as last year, the Sturgis farm at Riverside. The boys of the local company are confident of mak ing an even better showing than they did last year. It is expected that the hike will be held on the ISth to 21st and doubtless a number of people from this city will visit the boys while they are in camp at Riverside. Man Smashes Window A young man who had evidently been drinking a little of the stuff sim ilar to that which the deputies seized in the autos, went into the Boston Cafe Friday evening and after having a first class supper informed the pro prietor that he was short of funds and would be unable to pay for it. He was passed out the door with very little ceremony, but as soon as let go of outside he hit the plate glass door a regular prize fighter clip, splinter ing the glass and cutting his hand. He was taken to the police station but as the proprietor of the place wanted to go away early Saturday morning and could not appear against him, he was released.

Villa Claims Trapping of Hill’s Force Washington, July fl.—General Villa telegraphed an American consular agent at Chihuahua today that he had led the Carranza forces under General Hill into a trap and severely defeated them in the vicinity of Aguascalien tes. The consular report reached the state department tonight, contradict ing a message from an American con sul at Aguasc-alientes earlier in the day, who reported that Gen. V illa had been defeated south of Aguascalien tes and that his forces were retreat ing northward. State department officials were un able, to Clear up the discrepancy. Secretary Lansing today revealed that many of the consuls in Mexico recently had been sending comprehensive reports on the economic situation and some of them had expressed the opinion that while there was a food shortage now the problem would become generally acute in the southern republic within three or four weeks. One or two consuls were outspoken in their suggestions that unless the United States within a month took some decisive step the situation would grow much worse in time. THE PRELIMINARY HEARING WAIVED BY GEN. HUERTA El Paso, Tex., July 9.—Genera- Victor iano Huerta waived preliminary hearing on charges of conspiracy to violate the United States neutrality laws late today and was held under $15,000 bond for the federal grand jury at San Antonio Dec. in. He declined to furnish bond and was removed to Fort Bliss, where he will be guarded by federal marshals. Immediately Generals Ygnacio Bravo. Eduardo (’aus, Jose I *elgauo and Knrbiun orostieta and .1. B. Ratner, waived pre liminary hearing, but all excepting Hn vo furnished bond to appear at San An tonio. FORMER GENERAL JOSE ROBLES HAS BEEN ARRESTED El Paso, Tex.. July 0.—Jose Alesio Robles, a former Mexican general, was arrested by Federal authorities today charged with conspiracy to vio late tiie United States neutralitv laws. In default of $5,000 bonds ho was taken to jail. THE REPLY (Continued from Page One) been familiar with Germany’s pro posals as outlined by Ambassador i Gerard in the last few days are in favor of an emphatic assertion by the American government that it intends l to exercise the rights which it holds under international law placing upon Germany the responsibility for any further violation that may cause breach in friendly relations. Many persons conversant with diplo matic precedents in the framing of notes believed that the next step of necessity would be an advance in the position of the United States, for, having asked for assurances and failed to receive them, the field for further negotiations had been considerably narrowed and now re quires some assertion of rights. The press copy arrived too late to he read by many officials and those who saw it said they could not comment until the official text from Ambassador Gerard had arrived. This probably will reach here tomorrow or Sunday and President Wilson, it is understood, will start back for Washington to consider the communi cation with his cabinet as soon as word Is sent him that it has reached here. The appan nt restrictions placed by Germany on the use of American pas senger ships which are to be given complete immunity from interference only if they do not carry contraband yas regarded in many1 quarters as add ing another to the many issues which have arisen over submarine warfare. Assumption of liability for the loss of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy was considered to have been wholly evaded by Germany, and the chief principle for which the United States announced that it would omit "no word or act” to see observed, was viewed as having been lightly passed over. KITCHENER AND i ASQUITH VISIT FRENCH FRONT British Headquarters in France, July 8, Via London, July 9, 5.12 P. M. —For the first time since the army has occupied the present line. Field Marshal Kitchener has been at the front. He was accompanied by Pre mier Asquith and Colonels Hankey and Fitzgerald. He. arrived on Tues day afternoon, the guest of Sir John French, commander of the British ex peditionary forces on the continent and that afternoon visited the grounds of the Flying Corps, the cadet school, where officers are trained, and the machine gun school.

Thomas Addis of Lane hospital, alleged examining physician for Brit ish recruiting agents, also was ar rested today and gave bond on two indictments charging hiring and re taining recruits and conspiring to do so. Blair and Murdock, the firm at whose office recruiting headquarters for the British army were alleged to have been maintained, also was in dicted. All those mentioned except Hoyt, who has not surrendered, and Harry G. Lane arrested yesterday in con nection with the case, have been re leased on $10oo bonds. Lane has been unable to fihd security. REQUEST MISTRIAL OF THAW CASE ON EXCUSE THAT UP READER IS EMPLOYED TO AID THE ALIENISTS New York, July 9.—A charge by John I B. Stanchtield, chief counsel for Harry K. Thaw, that the state had in Justice Hendrick's court an expert lip reader who was translating for the benefit of alienists whispered conversations the slayer of Stanford While had with his attorneys and members of his family, precipitated a request today by Deputy State Attorney General A. D. Becker that a mistrial be declared. Justice Her dricks refused to grant the petition, but instructed the jury that remarks by counsel were not to be considered. Thaw himself was on the witness stand at the time of the occurrence. He was excused without cross-examination immediately after it. During the day he told his own story of how he shot and killed Stanford White, and he gave his ideas about alien ists who have testified for the state at previous proceedings. Thaw's examina tion was conducted b>' Deputy Attorney General Frank Cook. Mr. Cook passed rapidly from one subject to another, al lowing him to give full explanations The bark which was of 2176 tons gross left Valparaiso March 23 for an English port. LACK OF U, S, CABLE COMMUNICATION WITH; GERMANY CAUSED BY ENGLISH ATTITUDE Washington. July 9.—Germany's pro posals of last February for the re- i opening of her cable communications with the United States failed because they were conditioned on the consent of Great Britain and the Bondon for eign office never replied to the nego tiations communicated by the United States. State department officials made this explanation today in the light of a published statement by Herr von Ja gow, the German foreign minister, who laid stress on the lack of cable com munication as a means of an exchange of views between the American peo ple and the German public during the! submarine warfare controversy. 2000 OF HOLTS LETTERS SHOW HO TRACE OF AH ACCOMPLICE New York, July 9.—Nearly 2n00 letters found among the effects of Frank Holt at Ithaca have been gone over carefully by the police, it was announced today, j and not a single sentence has been j found among them to indicate that he had an accomplice in his program of terrorifm by bombs and assassination. The letters were written in French, Italian, Spanish. German and Knglish, and dated as far back as 19°6. In one of the letters—from the secretary of An drew Carnegie—it was learned that Ho(t M when he desired. 'With but one or two exceptions Thaw answered every uues ‘tion put to Jinn Uirecltj and with efh phasis. Spectators remarked that he seemed to be sure of himself. Three residents of Sherbrooke, John C. Cavanaugh, a lawyer, Lucia Bourpet, a life insurance agent. and Eugene Arrhambault, a waiter, followed Thaw to the stand. Cavanaugh said he "was sorry to say that he thought Thaw was irrational" when he saw him in the jail at Sherbrooke. Bourtnet told of seeing Thaw throwaway a tray or food on the floor. Arehamhault said he saw Thaw in the jail and that he complained of be ing persecuted. Xhe witness added that Thaw did not "appear very rational." Justice Hendrick having announced that he had been informed by counsel for the state that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was too ill to appear in court. Mr. Beck er read to the jury her testimony at the habeas corpus proceedings in White Plains. The reading was still in progress when an adjournment was taken until Monday. had offered to go to China to teach and to take his wife with him as a mission ary. He bad written that he could not do this, however, for 11000 a year, and hoped that Mr. Carnegie "could make It 11500." Two letters from an aunt of Holt, in Leipslc, Germany, were found. So far as could be learned, they contained no refer ence to Holt's life as Erich Muenter. Oth er letters showed that Holt had exchang ed views on topics of the day and pub lic questions with college presidents. A copy of a letter sent by him to Mrs. Bal lir.gton Booth told of his success in hav ing induced a prison official to introduce welfare work in the prison. It was said to be generally believed now that Holt worked alone and that nc* one else even knew of his plans. CORONERS REPORT ON HOLT S DEATH Mineola, L,. 1., July 9.—A coroner's in quest into the manner in which death was reached by Frank Holt, who at tempted to assassinate J. P. Morgan last Saturday, established clearly today that Holt killed himself by jumping head fore most IS feet from an iron bar on the side of his cell to the floor. There was noth ing to indicate that Holt had been shot or had shot himself, an opinion which ap peared in certain quarters to have sur vived the autopsy. It was learned today that Holt's brain, which was removed at the time of the autopsy for possible examination by alienists, had been sent with his body to Dallas, Texas, for burial. Augusta Locals Mrs. Ina M. Chandler, manager of Maplehurst Sanitarium for nervous dis eases at Hartford. Ct., is visiting her mother. Mrs. Georgianna V. Turner and brother, Kdgar S.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advpr*,~''rnenta to Kennebec Journal Company, Publishers. Augusta, Maine. Saturday, July 10, 1915. We Rush Along, Taking the Chances. Pointing out that the proportion of typhoid cases in the United States is from two to five times the rate in many European countries, due solely to the practice of preventive precautions in those countries, the United States Public Health Service announces an active campaign of education on the means of preventing this disease. In one of the bulletins attention is called to the fact that 30,000 persons in this country died last year from typhoid and 400,000 persons were incapacitated. "In many American cities,” the bulle tin points out, "there has occurred ■within the last 20 years a considerable reduction of typhoid fever. Due in a large part to improved sanitary condi tions in the cities, the typhoid rate for entire Sjtates has shown a material de crease. For the country as a whole, according to the available figures, the rate has been reduced about 50 per cent in the last 40 years. But the present rate is about the same as that which prevailed in some of the other advanced nations of the world 30 years ago. In other words the United States is a generation behind the times In respect to the reduction of its typhoid rate. Ii^ recent years a specific method for increasing in dividual resistance to typhoid germs has been employed. This is known as anti-typhoid inoculation or "vaccina tion.'’ It is pointed out however, that the protection given by anti-typhoid inoculation is relative not absolute, and that such Inoculation is not to be regarded aB a substitute for sanita tion. If so many wells were not inoculated with outhouse filth; so many cellars with steaming vegetable decay, so many raw foods served half washed, there would be little need of vaccina tion to resist typhoid. If we could shed old customs as easily as we adopt new fads we would not need so many anti-disease cultures. New England Lining Up. While patriotism has risen above partisanship in New England, so far as foreign complications are con cerned, reports from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont within the past few days indicate that in each of these States the Republican party is planning to conduct the next cam paign on a platform of opposition to Democratic inefficiency, and Massa chusetts is also lining up for that i purpose. New England feels that as a section it has been deliberately and unfairly attacked by the Democratic Congress, and that but for the war the Wilson-Underwood tariff would have brought widespread ruin to every one of these manufacturing states. The tariff, provided conditions are normal, will be the principal issue upon which the Republican party will make its j campaign, and there is a general feel- ing of a sweeping victory in 1916. New I England has been painfully conscious since 1913 that the South'is in the; saddle, and that in the tariff and oth- I er legislation, as well as in a rightful share in the allotments of office, it has been discriminated against to the advantage of the Southern states. The sectionalism created by war was faded away, but in its place has aris en a new sectionalism, and in the fight for political preferment the South has had all the best of it. “The Price of a Drink.” Dan Morgan Smith, judge advocate of the state of Illinois, who addressed the national convention of the Anti Saloon League at Atlantic City, Thursday, summed up in epigrammatic form what he called "The Price of a Drink.” He said: "If the results of drinking were purely personal then the complaint of the ‘wets’ that the anti-liquor forces ,are trying to interefere with the per sonal liberty of drinkers, might carry with it some force, but drink is sold on the installment plan, first payment is made when you get the drink, the others when the drink gets you! "The greater part of the payments are made by those who do not drink. "The price of a drink ranges from a dime to damnation—the drinker pays the dime and humanity pays the damnation. "Enforcement of local or state pro hibition depends upon the inclination, energy and honesty of local authori ties, but you can make prohibition prohibit—any one of you—by a per sistent prosecution of those officials who fail to prosecute the violators of the dry law. "If a judge is too wet to do his duty, make it so hot for him he will dry out. "It often does more good, in the en forcement of liquor laws, to kick one f crooked chief of police out of the ‘police station than to bring many 'drunks into the police station.” Referring to employers who have t taken a stand against the drinlto* employe, he said: "There is room on the water wagon for the employer as well as for the employe.” But what, let us ask Judge Smith, shall we do when the Governor says he doesn’t wish to "make a fool of himself by attempting to enforce the law? Anti-Suffrage Tactics On Friday, July 9, we received the following letter, enclosed therewith a copy of "The Remonstrance”: To the Editor: The Women’s Anti-Suffrage .Asso ciation of Massachusetts would be glad to have you use freely any ma terial in the enclosed copy of its or gan, The Remonstrance. The Asso ciation has a membership of more than 33,000 women of voting age, and it represents the views of the great majority of Massachusetts women, in view of the fact that this is the most critical year in the history of the suffrage agitation, and that the four states which are to decide the question this fall have a combined population more than two and a half times as large as that of all the 11 suffrage states, the Association hopes that it does not trespass too far up on your kindness in asking you to find space for some of the statements of the anti-suffrage arguments con tained in The Remonstrance. It will be glad if you will send copies of your paper containing quotations or comments to Mrs. Charles P. Strong, Cor. Sec’y.. 685-7 Boylston St., Boston. We should hardly care to depend upon the “organ” of an association that sends out such bald statements In its appeal for free advertising of its claims. Our readers will note in the above the same unqualified and un supported declaration that the liquor interests make, namely, that “the great majority” is with them. The Antis brazenly declare that their as sociation "represents the views of the great majority of Massachusetts wo men.” And this in the face of the fact that at the very recent Massachusetts state federation of women’s clubs the representative women from all classes there asembled voted, ”03 to 99, In favor of equal suffrage. We have before noted the employ ment by those opposed to woman suf frage of the same tactics, in baldly ignoring the facts, that we have so often shown up in the methods of the liquor interests. Both organizations fear the same thing—the effect of the higher morals of womanhood up on commercialized vice when the most Intelligent woman is the political equal of the lowest thug. Xo, we do not care to quote from "The Remonstrance,” If the above letter is typical of its contents. In his last annual report, Postmas ter General Burleson presented statis tics showing the steady growth in postal savings deposits and then said: "These facts afford conclusive proof that the practical operations of postal savings in this country have amply fulfilled the. predictions of its advo cates.” That is certainly some ad mission, coming as it does from a man who, as a member of the House of Representatives, voted against the postal savings bank bill. It is one rrote acknowledgement of the su periority of Republican ideas. But Burleson had plenty of bad; company, for every Democrat in the House who voted at all, recorded his vote against the measure. How custom takes hold of society as habit does of an individual, and how it is more difficult to get rid of a foolish custom than to break a bad habit—these old truths are shown again by the 176 dead and injured in New York on Sun dav and Monday. This In spite of all the efforts to make it the sanest Fourth the city ever had. The old way of cele brating the Fourth not only cost a total of more lives than were lost In the war which gave us our national independence, I but it degenerated into something that savored more of hoodlumism than of j the spirit of 1776. For half a dozen I years we have been striving to overcome a national bad habit. Great progress has been made, but the excess of casual ties over last year shows that there is no magic for changing popular custom.— New York Globe. We tolerate too many who seem to think they are robbed of the inde pendence which 1776 gave, if they are not allowed to slaughter and destroy indiscriminately. In an effort to pacify the farmers, the Democratic press asserts that tak ing ofT the duty of five centB a dozen and admitting 72,000,000 eggs free of duty did not reduce the price the farm er receives. If the importation of 72, 000,000 eggs didn't injuriously compete with the American farmer, why did the Chinese producer send them here after the tariff was removed, but not before? It is true the imported eggs are small in size and deteriorated by age, but so much the worse, for they serve that much more effectively in holding down the price the farmer re ceives for good eggs. Every time you buy a package or bottle of food or drugs with a label on it guaranteeing It under the pure food act, remember that a Republican Congress enacted that law and that every vote against it was cast by Democrat. Ever since its organize.* tion, the Republican party has been a party of progress and construction and the Democratic party has been a party of opposition and destruction. There is a great deal in habit. The New Jersey Zinc Company is planning to increase its capital from $10,000,000 to $35,000,000 and to distribute the $25,000,000 increase to stockholders in the form of a stock dividend of 250 per cent. The avidity with which the Democrats will seize upon this circum stance as proof of the wisdom of their policies is easily foretold, although the war has jumped the price of spelter from six to 32 cents. The chief of police of a Kansas city has been arrested charged with three sales of whisky which the police has confiscated in raids on joints.

Thursday evening's Lewiston Jour nal said: It will be good news to friends of W. A. Pidgin of Bartlett street, Lew iston, who has been ill for ten days, to know that he is planning to go to Southport, Monday. He will be ac companied by Mrs. Pidgin and their niece. Miss Bessie Little of Oberlin, Ohio. This office is not equipped with any of those patent contraptions which tell how much rain falls, but from a cas ual and unofficial observation the pre cipitation has been close to two feet since early Thursday night and still coming down—the wettest, soakiest, soppiest kind of rain and with wind enough to make an umbrella a useless burden.- The concensus of opinion ap pears to be that there has been plen ty of rain for a spell, if not longer.— Bangor News. A queer incident is", being related in regard to a $2.50 gold piece which Mrs. Fred Russell of Houlton lost last Christmas. This gold piece was given to her bright and new at Christmas time and in some manner she lost it. For weeks she searched, but was un able to find it. A few weeks ago she had one of the roosters killed out of her flock of birds and in dressing it found the gold piece tucked snugly away in the gizzard and nearly all worn away. Not a figure or any of the milling was visible on the coin. Mrs. Russell now has the small piece of gold, which one would not believe once was a good sized coin. Jimmy Pond in Litchfield Is now open to fishing, the first time in a score of years It is said. This pond is situated at the head of the Tacoma chain of lakes, and its only outlet is a narrow stream. This pond has been stocked with trout for years and it has been the source of stocking the Taco ma Lakes with trout. Because of the great number of bass and pickerel in these lakes, the trout have not thrived as it was expected they would, al though each season many trout are taken from these waters. In Jimmy Pond, however, it is said, there are a great many trout and since the pond was opened to fishing it has been the center of attraction for trout anglers. So far as reported no big catches have been made. It cost a Bucksport man $100 the other day to be in a hurry. He was hurriedly telephoning from a public booth in the Union Station at Bangor and hurried out to catch a train. He discovered that he had left his purse containing about $100 behind and hur ried back after it, only to find that someone else had found it and hurried away. It is evident that some of the San gerville people do not entertain the most kindly feelings toward the San gervillc Woolen Co. as the recent town meeting called for the purpose of see ing if the town would vote to exempt the company or its successors from taxation for a term of years voted "No." Another meeting has been call ed for July 12 for the same purpose, some of the citizens feeling that the previous vote did not fully express the real sentiment of the people. The personal property of the late Parker Spofford of Bucksport, be queathed to the Congregational church of that town by the terms of the will, was on Wednesday turned over to the church officials by the executor, John P. Knowlton. The former owners of the schooner Helen W. Martin, Percy Small of Bath, deny that the vessel has been •old to the Russian government to carry ammunition, as told in a story that has been going the rounds of the press, but that she will probably carry a cargo of cotton to some Russian port. The Popham Beach people are justly proud of the library that has in the past few years been accumulated, wholly by donation, some 700 volumes in all. Another fact, also pleasing, is that by various means, card parties, suppers, etc., during the winter a sum sufficient to wipe out all Indebtedness has been raised. The famous old bar at Wood island, mouth of the Kennebec, is again this year exposing itself at low water, per- j mitting one to walk across to the isl and. It has been some years since this freak of the coast changes has been seen. The Hyde Guards have received from the war department the scarlet figure l’s which each member of the company yill wear on the right sleeve of his dress coat in token of the champion ship of the company won last year, when it secured the highest flgute of merit of any reserve company in the United States at target practice with the coast defense armament. We think there is no doubt that Charles Foster is the youngest 32d de gree Mason in Maine, says the Damariscotta Herald. He was 22 last February and has now taken all the degrees in the York Rite and all of the Scottish Rite except the 33d. Charles is a good clean lad, born in Damariscotta, graduated from Lincoln Academy in 1912, soon afterward en tered the employ of the Bath Iron Works. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Foster of this place and comes honestly by his big strong body, good habits and a long list of other good qualities. Potato shipments over the Bangor Aroostook Railroad during the past season totaled 23,257 car loads, or about 16,279,900 bushels compared with 26, 895 car loads, or 18,826,500 bushels in the season of 1913-14. Editorial Comment England’s Change of Mind. (Portland Express) Free trade England has long been a source of argument for free trade advocates in this country. It will be a shock to the American free trader, therefore, to read the following ad vice iust given by a prominent Lon don banker to the English people: "We should import only absolute ne cessities and produce everything in this country that we possibly can.” Pretty good sense, that. Infant Victim* of War. (Albany, N. Y., Argus) One of many shocking features of, the great war is the effect it is having; on the infant death rate ip some ofj the countries involved in the conflict.! Even these little innocents arg being! sacrificed in the upheaval. If the warj has materially increased infant mor- j tafity in Great Britain, we can well j cohceive that it has done so even more! in the countries where the actual j fighting has been going on and homes1 have been destroyed and millions forc ed to subsist on short rations. The British registrar general says that in London infants are dying by hundreds. In 05 other large cities in England and Wales statistics just re ceived show that the present infant mortality Is the greatest in history. Children in London have been dying at the rate of 2000 a week for the past 13 weeks. The situation is partly due to a scarcity of physicians, thousands of whom are serving with the army; and partly, to the greo.t increase in the industrial employment of married wo-J men and the lack.of agencies for caie of children during,the absence of their mothers from home. Practically all the day nurseries that existed before the war have bee-1 con verted into institutions frr the care of the wounded These nurseries previ ously cared for and fed the infants of working mothers for two cents a day. Practically all the available nurses, too, are caring for the wounded sol diers. In this distressing situation it would be humane if physicians and nurses from this country went over to care for the sick and helpless infants. The Chihli en are entitled to a fai" chance for their lives and should 02 given aid from outside. There is no doubt of the need of it. The registrar general says that within the past four months in greater London alone 66:11 children under the age ;.f 10 years liar'; died. Regulate the Sale of Explosives. (New York Sun) It is obvious that the sale of ex plosives here and elsewhere through out the country is not regulated with sufficient strictness reasonably to pro tect the public. The legitimate users of these dangerous compounds are pro portionately few in number, and their responsibility can be easily establish ed. It would inflict no hardship on them or on the dealers who supply them to install a system of registration and certification, under which the ac quisition of dynamite and similar sub stances by criminals could at least be made difficult and highly expensive. The Federal law affecting the trans portation of explosives in interstate commerce is flagrantly violated, but even its imperfect enforcement has mitigated what a few years ago was a graver menace than now exists. A law governing the sale of such mate rials might not cure the evils of to day, but it would unquestionably re duce their danger. Good Business. (Collier’s Weekly) "Americans have four great and good habits upon which their present prosperity is established. These habits are; Health habit, study habit, work habit and play habit.’* That is what Yozo Nomura, Japanese com missioner to the Panama-Pacific ex position, said when he returned to Yo kohama from San Francisco &nd re ported to Japanese business men upon his trip. Yozo Nomura is, obviously enough, a diplomat. With Ameri cans, he continues, “business is no longer exploitation but service. The American principle is that business prospers when it answers the need£ of the people and enhances human happiness.” We don’t reprint these compliments because they are de served; they aren’t. And yet, just after writing these words, we picked up a copy of the directions given to their employes by an ice company in the West: Be courteous. Remember, every iceman is supposed to be a thief until he has proved his honesty. And again this gleam of advice: If the iceman "happens" to cut the piece a little short, he should confess to his customer "and then bring a larger piece next time and draw her atten tion to that also.” Perhaps the Japanese diplomat isn’t so wrong af ter all. “No longer exploitation, but service. Think it over. Light and Airy Bab. Most people with the gift of gab Give me considerable pain. But having once conversed with Bab I'd as soon converse again. —A. R. I

Chiquita. Seldom does one ever meet a Maiden who is quite as neat, a Maiden who is quite as sweet, a Girl, in short, just like Chiquita. —Morrie. "Now, if you are acquitted,” said the lawyer, "you can go on the stage." "But suppose I should happen to be con victed?" “Um. In that case, I suppose you’ll have to write a book.”—Kansas City Journal. Aunt—Your bride, my dear boy, is wealthy and all that, but I don't think she'll make much of a beauty show at the altar. Nephew—You don’1, eh! Just wait till you see her with the brides maids she has selected.—Boston Tran script. "Lookhere,” cried the angry farmer. “What do you mean by fishing in this creek? Don’t you see the property’s posted?" "Yes,” replied the discouraged angler. "If I had been posted myself 1 never would have tried to catch any fish here.”—Birmingham Age-Herald. "The great trouble with the American people is that they eat too much," said the doctor. "Nonsense,” retorted the statistical person. "I can easily produce figures to prove that one-third of the American people live in boarding houses.”—Judge. Crumley—So the editor refused your poem did he? Quiller—Yes, but I’ll make him regret it some day, when I get famous. Crumley—Well, but won’t that be tak ing an unfair advantage of an old man: Bulls and Blunders. Many years ago I heard the following notice read out in a Catholic church In England: "There will be a procession next Sunday afternoon in the grounds of the monastry, but if it rains in the after noon the procession will take place In the morning.” Among the mixed metaphors the most delightful I think I have ever heard was the statement of a town councilor in a Hampshire town some years ago during a discussion or projected expenditures on town improvements. "Gentlemen," he said, “we will have nothing to do with it; it is but the thin end of a white ele phant.” A distinguished leader of the Ulster party, writing to me some time back, said: "Before the home rule bill is en forced, Asquith will have to walk over many dead bodies—his own included.”— London Spectator. Of Course Not. A few days after a inan had been taken to the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane, two friends called on him. The man talked rationally until one of the visitors exclaimed at the time shown by a small alarm clock in the room. Think ing that perhaps the time was not cor rect he turned to the inmate and asked, I "Is that clock up there right.'-’ The reply was immediate. "You bet it hain t right or it wouldn't be here.” A Safe Conjecture. Tramp—Please, mum, I'm a Belgian refugee. Bady—Are you? Mention a town in Bel gium.

Miss Mildred Russell entertained the young people of the Hill to a Fourth of July party, which on ac count of the rain on Monday was postponed until Tuesday. After the guests had assembled out-of-door games, rocket tag and others were played until darkness came, when an adjournment w-as made to the house where many interesting games were played, including Red, White and Blue, and what I had in my lunch box. A contest was held and prizes offered to the one who could make the most words out of Fourth of July in a stat ed time. The first prize, a dainty box of candy, was won by Miss Hannle Falmer, while Miss Evelyn Peacock and Miss Jessie Bishop were tied for the second prize.

Hesi tation and heaviness were its chief characteristics, with increased weak ness in the railway group, notably the low-priced southwestern issues, as well as St. Paul and New Haven, and continued pool maniuplation in war specialties. Missouri Pacific fell to 3, the lowest price in its history, and St. Paul at TS1^ recorded tg minimum figure for many years. Missouri. Kan sas and Texas. Southern Railway Common and Preferred, Rock Island and Chesapeake and Ohio also regis tered lowest quotations in years. La 1 ter St. Paul preferred, one of the in- i vestment issues seldom traded in. fell to 122, its bottom price in almost a decide. The weakness in New Haven was attributed to the failure of the restitution suit against the old direc torate. Foreign liquidation was again re sponsible for today’s recessions, al though offerings from that source were mainly in bonds. London was a seller of Union Pacific, Canadian Pa cific and Coppers. According to com mon report, large sales of our stocks and bonds were again effected here by private transfer. Almost the only speculative favor ite to show steadiness was United States Steel which was supported in anticipation of an excellent June statement of unfilled tonnage to be issued after the close of tomorrow's session. Total sales amounted to 382, 000 shares. t Ifs easy enough to be pleasant When a man has all be requires; If his health is all right His heart will be light While he’s riding on Diamond Tires.” —Mr. Squeegee A man is a good deal like a tire. His greatness depends 'on the crowd he is in. The really great man—the leader—literally has to meet all comer* in the contest for public approval. Any tire is the best tire in a crowd of inferiors. But nowadays a tire has to be extraordinary if it is to make and hold a record for superior service and mileage economy. It is the extraordinary quality of Diamond i Tires that has given them their deserved pre-eminence. i Send for our book of letters from dealers who sold Diamond Tim in 1914.

Dunn’s Review I New York, July 9.—Dun's tomorrow will say: Uniform progress is not to be expected at this period, when inventorying and the advance of the vacation season tend to produce quietness in various mercantile lines. It is significant of the economic changes resulting from the war, however, that industrial conditions do not reflect the usual mid-year lull, and all indica tions point to fully sustained activity throughout the summer months. In stead of showing the customary abate i ment, industrial operations steadily ex pand and each week there is a further reduction in the percentage of idle ma chinery and in the number of unem ployed. This is a most encouraging feat ure. inasmuch as the retail demand for all kinds of staple merchandise is stimu lated as more wage earners find work and payrolls Increase. Since the Iron and steel trade is considered one of the best barometers of the general situation, it is gratifying that production at the mills and furnaces is rapidly rising close to the point of capacity, the output of pig iron last month being at the rate of 39j 500,000 tons a year against only 18,000,009 tons on Jan. 1. 4 Statistics of Building Opsrations iir New England.

AEROPLANES MAY BE USED AGAINST SUBMARINES I (Associated Press Correspondence> London, Juno 24.—That aeroplanes can be effectively employed against submarines is the opinion of L. Blin Desblede •who is regarded here as an .ruthority on aeronautical engineering. He has evolved a plan by which, he contends. German submarine warfare i against British commerce can be checked. “Put in a nutshell my scheme is as follows,” he writes in The Syren and Shipping. "To have at selected places along the coast of Great Britain and Ireland a number of small but highly efficient aerial squadrons whose duty would be either closely to scrutinize the area comprised between the coast i and a line some 150 miles from it, or in special cases to act as a convoy j to liners or cargo steamers. “If the sea area defined above were rendered a danger zone for the ene- j my's submarines to enter, and if the enemy were made to realize that within that zone their submarines ran a greater risk than the merchant vessels they were oat to attack, then it would follow that the submarine ‘blockade- would be rendered Ineffect ual. "It would of course be argued that 1 GUARDING MEAT FROM THE HEAT A Few Simple Precautions for the Housewife Who Does Not Want Her Supplies to Spoil Washington. July 5.—A few simple ,'recautiens will aid the housewife in Keeping meat untainted in hot weath er. It is. of course, common knowl edge that the higher the temperature, the quicker meat will spoil, but the family's supplies are not absolutely at the mercy of the thermometer. Ice end cleanliness are two great weapons of defense. For many families a refrigerator is obviously out of the question, but it s perhaps better to have no refriger ator at all than a neglected one. Mere iy to wash it out occasionally does lit tie good: it should be thoroughly scald ed at frequent intervals, in particular the drain. This, if overlooked, is apt to harbor fungous growths, which may spread to the food. On or.e occasion a mar. applied to the Department of Agriculture because he had found that 2 joint of beef placed in his refriger ator had turned a peculiar bright red. t'prn examination it was ascertained that the meat was covered with a pe culiar fungous growth due entirely to the condition of the refrigerator. Growths of this kind do not always ad vertise themselves so prominently and there may be much evil in an ice box1 that the eye can not detect. If the refrigerator drain is not thor oughly cleaned, moreover, it is likely to become choked, the water is not, earned off quickly enough and little pools are left standing in the interior. Dampness is one of the conditions most favorable to bacterial growth, n ice box in this state will not pro ct food long. It is. in fact, a wise' precaution to wipe the intenor of a refrigerator every day with a dry cloth. The temperature of the average re frigerator is higher than most persons suppose, and in those households where a regular supply of ice is not obtain able, a cool cellar, a spring house or the depths of a well may serve some what the same purpose. On farms where there is an ice house, the meat may be placed in some form of closed retainer and buried in the ice. In any event, the meat must be carefully screened from flies. The danger from infection fr m these pests has been pointed out many times, but familiar ity breeds contempt and they still per sist- The fly not only does the meat: itself no good but it may readily de posit upon it some infection, which is earned in turn by the meat into the human system. Some flies wilt deposit' fheir eggs on the meat and these in a short time will become maggots and the meat is ''fly-blown." SYRIA BEING BLED BY TURKISH OFFICIALS i Associated Press Correspondence) Beyrout, June 15.—With cereals and foodstuffs scarce and the Turkish of ficials exacting every possible cent out of the people for war taxes. Syria :s in a bad way. But this is not all. The country' is becoming as dry as a desert, and the lines of communica tion between different parts of the country have been almost ail stopped by the military. At Beyrout itself, the schools are closed with the exception of the Am erican Protestant College, which, ow ing to the neutrality of the United States and the diplomacy of its presi dent, Dr. Bliss, has continued to work peacefully. Three of the professors of the medical department of the college. Dr. Graham. Dr. Webster and Dr. Day. were summoned before the military authorities recently as they were thought to be British-Canadlans. But they returned after three days' de tention. British missions in the Lebanon have so far been undisturbed. The inhabitants of this hill country have been exempted from military service, but economic conditions are bad. In stead of dally trains, as formerly, be tween Beyrout and Damascus, there is now only one or so a week. Any one leaving Syria for a neu ral country Is not allowed to carry with him more gold than Is needed to reach his destination. If going to the United States, he can not take more than $260. Generally the sums limited to the travelers range from *50 to $125. The Turkish government pockets the rest and gives a receipt. This is the age of advertising —the daylight age. if the enemy's submarines were pre vented from operating within 150 miles of our coast they could still carry their operations beyond that limit. This argument would, in the i ory, be correct, but it should be noted i that all German submarine attacks on I British vessels have been carried out j within sight of the British coast and inside the 150 mile limit, which is well witfrin the range of aeroplanes in most weather conditions." To meet the double difficulty of hit ting a moving submarine and of the possible harmless explosion of bombs by their impact against the water Mr. Desbleds holds that aeroplanes intended to tackle submarines must be specially armed. “That special armament,** he sal's. "must consist of a number of efficient anti-submarine bombs capable of sur J mounting the two preceding difflcul ties. In other words, an anti-sub marine air bomb, must damage the submarine, whether it actually strikes Ithe vessel or not. provided it falls within twenty yards of the craft, and i i it must not explode on impact with the water. “Such anti-submarine air bombs," I Mr. Desbleds adds, “have now been designed." HOME CARE _OF MILK Milk Sours Very Slowly at Low Temperature^-Clean Recep tacles Aid in Keeping Milk Sweet—Whipping Cream. Washington. July 9.—With the ad vent of warm weather the care of milk in the home becomes more com plex than during the late autumn ar.d winter. Heat to the extent accu mulated by allow ir.s milk to stand on a warm porch or in the sun is enough to start the bacteria in milk to multi plying at a rapid rate and thus make it unfit for use as sweet m:ik accord ing to the dairy specialists of the United States Department u? Agricul ture. The hot day* also bring the flies, the great germ carriers, and the clouds of dust laden bacteria, which, when coming to rest or. milk recepta cles, may easily contaminate the milk. Milk Is regarded as a natural cul ture medium for bacteria, and the rapidity with which the various forms will multiply, under the proper tem peratures. is astonishing It has been shown that if a cubic centimeter 'about t, teaspoonful) of milk con taining 10 bacteria is kept at 6> de grees temperature for 21 hours the bacteria wiil have multiplied into about 61,000. In the same milk, if held at 50 decrees, the growth of b&c 1 teria would be very small, possibly as 'low as 40 in 21 hours. Milk which contains a large number of bacteria is either not fresh or has come from a •diseased cow or has otherwise been contaminated. Flies are possibly the most danger ous bacteria carriers which are likely to come in contact with milk. These scavengers may convey the cerms of typhoid fever or other contagious dis eases from the sick room or excreta to the milk. Typhoid epidemics have been caused by flies spreading the germs. Milk should be guarded from flies as rigorously as you would avoid exposure to disease. Cows are now out on pasture, and milk is more easily produced under sanitary conditions than during the winter months when the cow s are stabled continuously. Milk may be handled by the farmer in the most correct and sanitary methods known, and yet if it is not cooled immediate ly after milking and kept cool until consumed, it very soon begins to change ana grow sour. In fact, the bacterial content increase.# rapidly as 1 long: as the milk remains above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The bacteria are dormant or increase slowly at a lower I temperature. For this reason, every precaution for keeping milk cold from the time it is produced until it reaches the consumer is essential, and especially so during the warm weath i er" Milk may absorb impurities when j ever it is exposed to the air, or placed in unclean vessels. The amount or degree of contamination depends on the cleanliness of the air and of the utensil. Even the air of a so-called clean room contains some impurities. If the producer and dealer have done their duty, there is left at the con sumer’s door a bottle of clean, cold, unadulterated milk. But the con sumer also has responsibilities in handling milk so that it continues to be fit for consumption, especially as food for babies. The milk in -the home may be placed in unclean ves sels or exposed unnecessarily to the air. or not kept cool until the time of using'. Thvts things may happen to the milk affecting its quality, many of which are caused through careless ness. Receiving Milk at Home. The expression "a bottle of clean, cold, unadulterated milk" describes the kind of milk which should be de livered to the home. The method of dipping milk from large cans and pouring it into the customer’s recep tacle in the street, with all the inci dent exposure to the air. not always the cleanest, is a bad practice. Draw ing milk from the faucet of a retail er's can is almost as had as dipping milk, although the milk is not exposed to the air as long by the dipping process. Besides the insanitary part of this method, some consumers, un less the milk is kept well agitated, are likely to receive less than their pro portion of cream. The custom of set ting out at night an uncovered vessel which collects thousands of bacteria j from the street dust before the milk is put into it. is obviously very insani- I tarv, and yet it is practised to a large extent. If milk is to be received in a bowl or pail by the consumer, it is worth while to have it delivered per sonally to some members of the fam ily, or if the receptacle is to be placed in waiting for the milk deliverer, it should be covered with a plate, or better still, a glass preserving Jar may be used, in which nothing but milk is put. The jars ■with the glass tops are preferable; no rubber bands should be used. Direct sunlight on the bottle of milk warms it rapidly, and increases the bacterial content. Milk which is de livered very early in the morning, say at 4 A. M., and remains out-of-doors until 9 or 10 o'clock, is very likely to become warm and less fit for human consumption than if it were taken in the house and placed in the refngera i tor early In the morning. Milk should not be transferred from the original bottle into another recep tacle until just before consumption. The bottle should be kept covered with a paper cap. or an inverted tumbler I as long as the milk is In it. Milk de terioriates by exposure to the air in i the pantry, kitchen or nursery. House wives are familiar with the ability milk has to absorb smells from strong foods, like fish, cabbage, or onions. It is obvious, therefore, that such foods j should be kept out of the refrigerator which contains milk. If milk is received In a bowl, pail, or other receptacle, instead of a bottle, the same rules apply to the keeping of the milk as those mentioned above for bottled milk. Milk from the gro cery store or bakery which is kept in a can, open most of the time, and pos sibly without refrigeration, is to be strictly avoided. Care of the Refrigerator. The refrigerator, unless kept scru pulousiy clean, often is in itself a 1 source of the production of bad flavor in milk The refrigerator should be inspected at short intervals, at which times the outlet for the melted ice should be freed, the ice-rack cleaned, and the place where the food is kept scalded with sal-soda solution. Even though the refrigerator is cold, a few drops f spilled milk, or a small par ticle food neglected, will soon con taminate it. Care of Milk Bottles and Utensils. Milk bottles are made for milk and not to hold sundry other foods. As soon as the milk bottle is empty, it should be rinsed with luke-tvarm wa ter until it is clean, and then set bot tom -side-up to drain Bottler- should never be returned in a dirty or filthy nuitiuz; Ali Utt'liS.iS' nail "iliui comes in contact should be rinsed, washed, and scalded every time they are used. When cleaning these uten sils. do not wash them in dish water or wipe with ordinary towels. First rinse them and then boil in clear wa ter and set away unwiped. If the re ceptacles are hot. they will soon be come dry without wiping. Whipping Cream Should Be Cold. When a baby is bottle-fed. every t.me the feeome bottle and nipple are used they shoud be rinsed in luke warm water, washed in hot water to which a small amount of washing soda has been added, and then scalded. Xever use a rubber tube between the bottle and nipple. If a case of typhoid fever, scarlet fever or diphtheria breaks oat in the family, do not return any bottles to the milkman except with the knowl edge of the attending physician, and under the conditions prescribed by him. Tii-* above suggestions on the care of milk are equally applicable cream. Often the housewife finds that til? cream she has will not whip. The de 1 partment's dairy specialists point out that to obtain satisfactory results in whipping cream it should be cold and of the right thickness, containing about 3d per cent or more of butter fat Ordinary cream, designated as coffee cream by the trade, is altogeth er toe thin to give good results. The whipping cream, as deliv* red by th milkman, contains C> to 4" per cent of butterfat. Thoroughly chili the cream before whipping by placing it in a covered bowl on the ice. The whipping process is also aidea and hastened by standing the bowl in a pan of ice water. Tv o other subjects bearing on the topic of care of milk in the home are pasteurization and the food value of milk These are treated in U. S.

HAS DISAPPEARING GUN FOR SUBMARINES Washington, July v—A three-inch disappearing gun for submarines has been perfected by the navy ordnance liureau. Secretary Daniels announced Wednesday, and in the future all American under-water craft will be equipped with such weapons for sur face lighting. i Mr. Daniels said every test had re sulted satisfactorily and that within 10 days the gun and its carriage would be sent front the ordnance factory i here to New York for mounting on the new submarine M-l, under con struction at the Electric Boat Co’s, j plant. No navy in the world has a better weapon of the kind than the ordnance bureau has evolved, according to the secretary. The carriage, it is explained, ope rates like those of disappearing guns in shore batteries. The rifle is raised through ports to the deck by electri cal machinery, and after firing is car ried quickly back into its place by Its own recoil, the same force closing the water-tight hatch as it appears.

How Mr. Smith escaped he does not know, events passed so rapidly when the car, went into the river esterday after-. noon. He was not much hurt and the] automobile will soon be in commission. JL E. C. PLUMMER GOES AFTER SHIPPING LAWS E. C. Plummer of Bath, who for many years has been in the lobby at 1 Washington as helper of the Atlantic Carrier combination, contends not for reform of tariff which makes ship construction and running of ships I far more expensive than elsewhere, but stands for subsidizing to offset the ar tificial high cost of building ships. Mr. Plummer wants the shipping commissioners to be restored. The ship commissioner not only prevents sailors from being signed in a drunk en condition on board a ship, but he is of great value as an employment I agent. Securing a crew is no small task. Schooners are often delayed! days and weeks and forced to pay de- j murrage and support a crew already j signed while waiting for delinquents, j The last report of the commissioner; of navigation mows that 1516 sailors j were shipped at Bath, the salary of' the commissioner being $1000; 1957 sail ors from Rockland, and the commis sioner's salary was $1250 3964 at Port land, commissioner’s salary $29)0; and j 2203 at Gloucester, commissioner’s sal- i ary but $600. Touching this matter, j Mr. Plummer says; "People have no idea how much the shipping commis-; sioner saves an owner. Losing one man of a crew just before sailing may 1 cost a great deal. I rec^l that the schooner Edward Winslow had a man: slip out at the last minute and it cost j her demurrage at the rate of $300 a day before the vacancy was filled from Boston. Then there was the Helen At w od. whose captain got into trouble with a crew over some trivial thing ar.d before she saiied had to ship prac tically three full crews to get one. Where vovid the captain be without the aid c-f the shipping commissioner ar.d his oor.necjions? We will do all we can to have the office retained, but! if it isn't, it will be a fine sample of the way concress is ’aidine" to build up an American merchant marine. It seem? stranee that congressmen can't s*e that all these measures make impossible competition of American ships with foreien manned vessels— operating at lower wages and almost half living costs, to say nothing of other easier conditions. It costs us on the a'erage 63 cents a day to feed American sailors. Many a master or owner detf-sn t fed so well at home as his sailors d at sea under the Ameri can !lag. The La Follette law is full of im practical things. The proportions of American citizens, or men who speak the English language, is absurd. There is never ary trouble about making the orders understood. Then there's the proportions of able seamen and ordin ary seamen, arbitrarily specified. No need of it. whatever, and the total number of men reo:iir°d is ruinous to any hope of competition. I know of two foreign ships, exactly alike, one of which was temporarily placed un der American registry, and she im mediately had to carry eight men more than she did hefong, just because of our ridiculous navigation laws. Not only that, but the minute she came un der the American iag her crew insist ed on an advance in wages."’ Such strenuous laws have loomed American shipping, according to the story lold in aimer any New England shipping office. More than one great ship owner declares he will u?- *r in crease his Seet nor replace his vessels as they gradually vanish. The great shipping concern cf A. E. Swell of Bath. Me., is a .sample. Once it m-.d a laree fleet of the finest sailing ves sels afloat, but now—with the ec r.t sinking of the William P. Frye by the Prince Eire! Friedrich—there a;e on!v three left—the shirs Dirigo and Ed vard Sew ail ar. J "e schooner Knev all fine, steel vessels built in a modern plant a; Bath. Samuel Sen-all, er.e of the two heads cf the family, declared last week that the family was through with Ameri can shipping, so far as any future ex pansion is concerned. "There's no money in it. he said. and we've bet ter use to make of what money we have than to run ships for the bene fit of tl:e iabor unions and the poli ticians.” Story of Opium Reform, China (Associated Press Correspondence) Peking. May i§. A proclamation bearing the seal of the President tells in a picturesque way the peculiar sto ry of the opium reform in China. From the proclamation the following paragraphs are taken: “The evil of opium is known to all men. and no less th»n *$.(00,000,000 and tens of thousands of lives have been sacrificed during the past few decades as a result of this evil. Once a per son acquires the habit of opium smok ing he degenerates into a parasite and is reduced to a skeleton; thus a rich man becomes a pauper and a healthy man a weakling. This consequently j gives rise to the prevalence of unde sirable characters and people who do not care to work, causing the deteri oration of the race and the decline of morality; and both the family and the nation are affected and harmed. For tunately. however, as a result of the unprejudiced spirit of the friendly na tions and the well-intentioned public 1 itv given by Chinese and foreigners, an agreement was made with Great Britain in the Third Tear of Hsuan Tung for the prohibition of the impor tation of foreign opium and the cessa tion of the cultivation of native opi um within a certain time limit. A persistent policy has been pursued with regard to the prohibition of cultiva tion, smoking, and trading in opium: and as a result of it many provinces have succeeded in completely destroy ing all poppy plants: consequently transportation of opium into these provinces has been prohibited. If this opportunity were seised completely to banish the opium evil, the country would be put on a strong footing. This is why the order was repeated at the beginning of the inauguration of the Republic. But owing to the lack of discipline and the fact that both des peradoes and unruly recruits were mostly opium smokers, the evil sprang GREAT BLOW TO THE SHIPPING OF ROTTERDAM (Associated Press Correspondence) i Rotterdam, June 20.—Official pre diction is made by the Rotterdam Chamber of Commerce that "the ship ping at this port has been reduced to such an extent that it may safely be stated that it will not recover its for mer status in less than five years.” This comment is made in the an nual report of the Chamber of Com j merce, which shows that during the year 19X4, five months of which were affected by the war, the number of ships clearing in and out of this port was reduced tremendously. "It is feared.” the report adds, "that i 1915 will be even more unfavorable if j this tremendous universal struggle is not terminated.” The weekly clearances in and out of the Nieuwe Waterweg, the channel which leads to Rotterdam, is now re duced to about 90 ships of all kinds, as compared with a weekly business of over 250 ships a year ago.' During the year ending December 31. last, 15,842 steamers and 284 sailing I vessels, aggregating 19,873,646 regis tered tons passed through the Nieuwe Waterweg. In 1913 however 22,178 steamers, and 467 sailing vessels, totaling 27,545,475 net registered tons, were cleared in and out. This is what five months of hostilities did to a commerce that had previously been growing every year by leaps and bounds. Even the number of fishing craft was 33S7 in 1914 as against 3934 in 1913. The only gain for the year 1914 was one in average tonnage, which increased 1.3 per cent, over the year before. In Rhine shipping, however, the re port does not show the port of Rot terdam to have suffered so severely. In 1911 Rotterdam claimed 82 per cent. again into being. The ignorant peo ple. seeing profit in the opium busi ness, defied the law. which up till then was in force. This was most regret table "Some people urge that since the opium trade affects the livelihood of' many persons, it is unjust to use ar- 1 bitrary methods for the prohibition of poppy planting. They forget, however, that the evil of opium is like a dan gerous ulcer that sinks deep, to the bone and for the cure of which it is better to cut away part of the bone i than to patch it up with a piece of flesh taken from another part of the body. Whether the profit in such a trade is big or small the traders should be made to understand in unmistak able language that no one can live by drinking poison to quench his thirst. The local eiders should be entrusted with the task of uprooting the poppy plants and the planters supplied with cotton, grain or other seeds for sow ing instead. "The whole thing depends upon the officials, who should earnestly and per sistently urge them and compel them to plant some other useful crop. We j shall not permit or.e corner of the: country to spo.l the general movement' of the whole nati•••n. and the Ministry of Interior is hereby instructed to communicate the order of prohibition, and not to allow the cunning tc util ize it as a means to enrich themselves. Yamen runners (local government •m ployes) must be strictly controlled so that they msv not use this as a pre text to oppress the people by extor tion: otherwise the old evil will sim ply be replaced by a new one. The chief aim is that the people and offi cials of the whole nation should look. upon this as a great disgrace and shame. Let no undestroyed seeds poi son the new nation! Wake up. ye people! This is the order of the Gov ernment!" Seal of the President. Signature of the Secretary of State, j PALERMO BRANCH MILLS—A. W.

The street parade at 4 of the business done between Dutch ports and Germany; in 1912 the figure was SI per cent., in 1913 81.5 per cent, while in 1914 it had dropped to only 78.5 per cent. In 1911 Rotterdam did 19,042,847 tons of business with Ger-> many via the Rhine. This was the highest figure ever known. In 1914, notwithstanding the war, there was 15,335,982 tons of business done be tween Rotterdam and the Rhine cities. Rotterdam is a port, pure and sim ple, albeit a great one. It is new; it is ugly; it is noisy; it Is dear. Few people who can afford to live else where live in Rotterdam. An increas ing number of those whose daily busi ness requires their presence in Rot terdam, live in The Hague, and go over and back every day, by electric tram—a pleasant journey of only twenty minutes. The Rotterdamers are. however, inordinately proud of their harbors. They are the property, of course, of the city; every possible public service in Holland is jealously administered on the basis of local autonomy. The modern improvements of the main harbor, which include be sides the new waterway, the very newest appliances for loading and un loading. were begun in 1870, and cost the city $24,000,000. At present work is going rapidly forward on what is known as the Waal harbor, the latest addition to the list of railwaV. warehouse, petroleum, inland commerce. Rhine salmon fish eries. Xqr&i Sea herring fisheries, Rhine Meuse and other special har bors. It is intended as a transship ment center for Rhine traffic outward bound, and draws its name from the river Waal, which is the name the Dutch give to the lower Rhine, as it passes through Holland. 1 o’clock of horribles was good and caused considerable fun as usual. The ball game in the morning between the Albion boys and Branch Mills result- ed in Albion winning by the score of S to 3. In the afternoon China played against Branch Mills and won by the score of 9 to 3. The drama “The Pen- i alty of Pride,” which was presented j in the evening by Branch Mills Dra matic Club was exceptionally fine. Those who took parts sustained their former reputation and received many compliments. The hall was well filled and more than $125 was cleared. They will repeat the play at East Palermo i tonight. Mrs. Lizzie Brawn was quite badly hurt Friday, a week ago. While go ing to the ball game an auto and team attempted to pass, when the j horse became nervous and jumped to the side of the road, knocking Mrs. Brawn down. Both of the wheels ran over her. hurting her very badly. A i physician was called and found that no bones were broken. She w is taken i to the house of E. S. Ki;chm. where she was kindly cared for. She is now- j much better and has returned home.

“Billy,” the pet squirrel 'that has I attracted" much attention at Choate's Variety store at 92 State street, re cently came near to his death by swal lowing a portion of a rose which was covered with hellebore powder. The littie animal, which is allowed to run 1 about the store at times, is very fond of the pollen of roses, and upon this particular occasion ate a large por tion of g rose. The poison on the flower bad its effects immediately and the squirrel in agony commenced to drink the water in the tumbler which held the roses. In a very short time the squirrel was to all appearances dpad and medical assistance was sum moned. It was some time before the i little pet was resuscitated. Needless to say poison of any sort will not be left within the reach of “Billy” here I after. YASSALBORO An interesting meeting of Vassal i born Grange. No. 321.

ELKS WILL BUILD A HOME THIS YEAR Will Be Handsome Structure of i Brick and Comfortable and Convenient in Every Way— Estimated Cost About $20,000 At the regular meeting of Augusta Lodge. No. B. F. O. Elks. Thursday evening, among other business consider ed was that cf the proposed Elks’ Home, the erection of which on the lot owned by the lodge at the foot of Winthrop and i Court streets has for some time past been under consideration, ar.d after some dis j cussion it was voted tc erect the Home j this year. The matter was placed in the hands of a committee of which George W. Merrill is chairman and the other members are Elmer E. Bradbury, Everett; M. Mower, London L. Wellman and John E. Hanson. Just what the building will i be has not been decided but the commit tee has three sets of plans under con sideration and it is expected that a de cision in the matter will soon be reached, after which operations will be commene ed at an early date. j It is probable that the r.ew building will occupy the site at the Northeast corner of the lot where now stands the buiidir.g known as the Manchester house ar.d which it was at one time thought possible might be moved to the center of i the lot ar.d remodelled to suit the re quirements cf the lodge. Just what will be done with this house has not been decided, but it will probably be taken down or perhaps moved to another part of the lot and used for renting purposes. The home will be built of brick, of modern style of architecture and two sto ries in height, and will be an ornament to the section in which it will be erected. The interior arrangement will be such that it will in every way fulfill the re quirements of the lodge and will be com fortable and convenient in every way. It is expected that the home will cost between $15,000 ar.d $20,000.

STATE HOUSE j _* Public Utilities Commission j Gives Advice to Electric Rail roads in Its Report on the Atlantic Shore Railway Acci dent of June 11th RECORD RAIN FALL Fruit Dealers Fined and Many Other Fruit Dealers Should Take Care Lest They Are Ap prehended for Similar Error i* j On June It, a passenger car and a I freight motor with empty cars at- I tached came together in a head-on collision in broad daylight upon the Atlantic Shore Railway at Sanford. The Public Utilities Commission held a public hearing in the Sanford town j hall. June 24, where the accident was reviewed and evidence gathered. In I its report upon the accident the com- j mission advises all electrically ope- rated railways to examine the meth- ocs of steam railways in relation to the passing of regular and special j trains. The commission’s report reads in part as follows: i t pon June lith the passenger crew 1 took their car at the waiting room in Sanford in the neighborhood of half past four in the afternoon and pro- j ceeded m the direction of Springvale the few hundred feet before reaching the mill yard switch. Fred W. Mei j vin. a transportation foreman of the electric railway, testified that at that point the car stopped to take on a passenger, and that, during the time the car was stopped the motorman j was in his position on the front end, i and the conductor just a little d:s- i tar.ce back of him changing his fare register. The car in use was an open one. Mr. Meivin says that he stepped i up on to the running board end told j the motorman to report out of Springvale." There was. and is. no dispute but that such an order, if I heard, would be understood by ai! j railroad men to mean that the car was not to leave Springvale until the motorman and conductor hac talked with the train dispatcher, or someone of c..ua! authority, who would issue an order v. .th reference to ti e future movements the tar: and that it would .tot be -roper oi safe to leave i Spring', ale without such a t- nver&u tion and order. Mr. Mei-.in further states that he stepped back to '.'here the nductor '.'is at work and re peated tit order to him. and in his testimony Mr Meivin further says: I didn't thin'- he 'the conductor.* un derstood perfectly the first t.rr.e. and repeated it; and, as I stepped off the running board. I «aid te> the conduc tor, “Be sure and report.’ The motorman in his statement be fore the commission admits that he distir.'.'iy heard and understood the order and Adolphus L. Porrele. a freight checker, testified that he stood i r:e rby and heard ,tfce order given to the motorman. This last witness states that he did r.ot hear the or- der repeated to the conductor, for the reason that his atieeiion was attract ed or distracted by a passing automo- J bile which was mating a noise, and j he was giving attention to that rather than to what was taking place be- tween Mr. Melvin 83d the conductor. The conductor in his testimony states! that Mr. Melvin did not give him any order, or at least that he did not hear it. nor did he hear any order giver, to the motorman. ar.d this statement seems to. be the one to which the conductor has adhered from a tine immediately fol lowing the collision which is the subject of this investigation. The freight motor, with several empty cars attached, was waiting to go out be hind the passenger -.*r ar.d go onto the side track at the steam railroad station. Mr. Melvin stated that his purpose in is suing this order w?.s to give the passen ger crew definite instructions as to the place at which they might pass the i freight motor ar. 1 its load. The freight motor left several minutes later than the passenger car. and the freight motorman testified that he was instructed to proceed to the turn-out at the steam railroad station, but to be on the lookout for the passenger car. as Mr. Meivin had not then received any re port from the passenger crew. A very few minutes later the two cars came together on a curve at a point where, by reason of projecting buildings, the dew from each car was restricted to a very short distance. It seems that, after the motorman of each car saw the other, each motorman did all he could to stop his car and ismped at the last moment. Some damage was done to the motor: considerable damage to the passenger car: and nearly all of the IS or 31 passen gers were more or less injured, one or two quite seriously. The motorman of the passenger car frankly admits that he completely for got his instructions, giving the reasons why he concludes he fcrgot. which rea sons are of no particular importance in this investigation. As stated above, the conductor of the passenger car denies having received any instructions whatever, and states that he gave the motonr.an the starting signal as usual. The freight motorman did as he was expected to do. namely, went ahead, and was on the lookout as much as could be expected under the circumstances. Xo blame attaches to him. It seems strange to us that the pas senger motorman could absolutely for get such an order, and it seems equally strange that the passenger conductor did not hear the order which Mr. Melvin says he gave. We do not undertake to determine just where the truth lies. Our duty, as we understand it, is to ascertain whether the accident could have been avoided with reasonable precautions and proper rules and regulations, and. if so, point out to the railway wherein it can avoid future accidents of a similar character which are likely to occur under similar circumstances. We suggest that, not only the At lantic Shore Railway, but each elec trically operated railway which does both a passenger and a freight busi ness look into the custom of steam railroads where an extra train is to go out upon the line and cross a reg ular train at various points. The freight motor and its load, running as this -freight motor did on June 11. would be similar to an extra train, and the passenger car would be aim QUALITY WINS Bussell Weston Company Will Continue the great money-saving Dollar Day Sale!

We under- I stand that the ru!es of the steam roads now require that, whenever an extra train is to cross a regular train, 1 a written order is delivered to the I engineer and an exact duplicate to the conductor, and each is required to’ l read it aloud to the other and to keep j the order in his possession. In this way there can be no failure to under i stand an order, and it is not likely that both the engineer and the con ductor will forget. Without attempting to suggest that the exact method employed by the steam railroads should be the one :n force by the electric railroads, we da suggest that attention be given to the matter, and some method worked out whereby the public may be pro tected from a similar occurrence and the utility from damage or destruc tion of its property. In this matter we find that a cause of the accident was the failure of the i passenger motorman to observe the j instructions given him. and. with ref erence to any joint responsibility on i the part of the conductor, we make no finding either way. the evidence being insufficient and unsatisfactory.

Public Utilities Commission of Maine. The Public Utilities Commission has rendered decisions touching upon the accidents resulting in the deaths 11 Charles Sands of West Fitchburg. Mass Jerome Witham of Carmel, ar.d reports upon the strange death of Jo seph Roberge. Charles Sands was injured near the Sebago Lake station of the Maine Cec tral Railroad late at night, July 5. The commission says: i "We find that Charles Sands, aged about 19. of West Fitchburg. Mass.. was riding on one of the freight trains of the Maine Central Railroad Co.. and was seen by one or more of his i companions walking along some coal cars while the train was in motion. ar.d was seen to fall between two of such cars. No member of the train crew was no- tified of such accident, and it was not until the train arrived at Sebago lake, that any employee of the railroad com pany knew of the accident. I rimed i- ately several persons went back and; found the man lying on the track, with one arm cut off and one leg and hip terribly crushed. Medical aid was summoned and the man was placed upon a train for removal to Portland, i but died before reaching the hospital. The accident resulted from the care I lessness of the victim and no other person seems to have been ir. any way responsible for the unf matoes, grapes, cherries.

Whi'n Thursday's rain storm was a good thing to a certain extent it was rather more than was needed ,iust at the present stage of the farming game Ont of Augusta's well known agricul turists saiu yesterdaj morning that while the rain would not interfere se riously on some parts of his farm where he had just commenced haying, lo has a lot of meadov. land that is jiractically flooded and he could not tell how long it would he before he could get on to it. Some of the cottagers at Coobos seecontee had the pleasure Tuesday evening of witnessing one of the larg est meteors that has been seen in this I viciniiy for years, as well as one of the must brilliant The stranger ap peared in the southern heavens at about S.30. well up toward the zenith ana its flight was near!.' straight downward. It did not appear to travel very fast and all had ample oppor tunity to witness it before it exploded. To those who saw it the meteor ap peared about the size of one's hat and when it appeared to be ap proaching the position of the earth it exploded verj much as does a sky rocket the fragments flying in all di -"ctions ]I is said tiiat there is one Augusta youngster who learned by experience h fev nights ago a bit of wisdom tiiat veil: not soon forget, it seems that h« is tr.-ubled sometimes with tender feet and as hf was about to retire on the night his mother told him to bathe feet before he went to bed, and at tilt- same time gave him a tablet which is supposed to be a remedy for tender feet and which when used is dissolv ed in the water in which the feet are be bathed. The boy took the tab le* and left the room. onl> to return again in about ten minutes and when his mother asked him if he had bathed his feet he replied that he had not but had taken the tablet in a glass of wa ter. Then there was trouble, for the mother, not knowing what the tablet contained, called the father, who had gone to bed. The latter, fearing that the tablet might contain poison, got tiie boy. who was somewhat scared himself, and mixing some mustard in a glass of warm water, made the boy swallow it The expected happened and up with the other materials which had been in the boy's stomach came the tablet, in three pieces. With the recovery of the tablet came a feeling of relief to all. including the boy, and he was soon sleeping the sleep of the .iust, but he learned an unforgetable lesson, that foot tablets are not to be taken internally. Stops the Pains Of Indigestion When Sods Tablets Lose Effect Try This Simple Remedy. People who are accustomed to taking some digestive tablet after meals which depend solely on Soda or Pepsin as digestive aids, gen erally find such remedies soon lose their force and that it takes two o! three tablets to bring relief where at first it took but one. Such a condition is dangerous and the use of such remedies should be promptly stopped before serious damage is done the stom ach. The excessive use of Pepsin weakens the natural organs of di gestion. while frequent doses of Soda irritate the stomach walls. Speedy relief from the distress of sour, gassy stomach, heartburn, or that full, heavy, lumpy feeling can be safely obtained from Ali o-na Stomach tablets which are a physician’s prescription. Mi-o-na increases the flow of the gastric juices, strengthens, instead of weakens the stomach and pro motes a natural, healthy and pain lesF digestion that soon makes any digestive pill unnecessary. These Mi-o-na Tablets are al ways sold by Bowdiich-Webster Co. and other leading druggists on a positive guarantee of satis faction or money back. jlj-7-9-10 I WEEVER TO OBSERVE 95TH BIRTHDAY TODAY It’s Coming Finds Him in Good Health and Remarkably Ac tive for a Man of His Years. Today will be a great day in the life of Georpe Washington Weever of Au gusta. but who i6 better known to al most everyone in the city as "Uncle Georpe”. as it marks his Bath birthday and in honor of the occasion he will be the recipient of conpratluations from everyone who knows him and which in some cases will be of a more substantial form than words. And it mipht he added that he will also receive the best wishes of Aupus ta people who know of him but have not had the pleasure of meeting him personally. Although nearly a century has flown since Uncle Georpe first opened his blinking eyes to the sunshine in his childhood's home in Mercer, the com ing of his birthday finds him in good health physically and with a mind that is remarkably active for one of his years For the sake of exercise, which by the way he claims is one of the reasons why he has lived to the ripe old ape which he has attained, he keeps himself engaged in gardening and in cannp for lawns about town, using in the latter occupation both the lawn mower and scythe, and in this way keeps himself in pood health and with muscles as “hard as nails.” During his leisure moments he de votes much of his time to reading the daily papers and also to such books of a scientific nature as he is able to pet hold of. He keeps in touch with the national administration and is ready to. discuss the doings at Washington at any time. He is particularly inter ested in the European War and his sympathies are inclined toward Ger many, that feeling on his part being due no dt^bt to his German ancestry. Mr. Weever changes but little as the years roll by and his many friends will unite on this, his birthday, in wishing him continued health and happiness for years to come.
