Official Statements from Officers of the 2nd
Maine as to Conditions at Laredo.
Laredo, Texas, July 17, 1916. The
Second Maine, as you know, left Au
gusta with the men in day coaches of
good type, three men to a double seat,
which we consider was the best that
could be furnished under the circum
stances, and great was the delight of
the men and the satisfaction of the offi
cers when Sunday noon at Kansas City
we were furnished with tourist sleepers,
thus affording the men two good nights
of sleep before reaching Laredo.
The attention of the railroad men was
all that could be desired. Mr. Doane of
the M. C. K. R., who accompanied the
Regiment to the end of the trip, was un
tiring in his efforts, and representatives
of every road over which we passed ac
companied to the end of their road. We
believe we have a great deal to thank
Mr. Doane for, in smoothing out all the
little difficulties that would have occur
red. At no time were we lacking for
water or ice, a very pleasing change
from all past experiences.
The Regiment reached here in good
condition, and the ailments from which
we have suffered up to the present time
have been minor ailments incident to
camp life, and to a complete change of
food and living conditions. We have
today received the khaki clothing for
use in the tropics and are already getting
well acclimated. Laredo is considered a
health resort, and, while the heat is ex
cessive, there is practically no humidity
and we will not suffer on account of the
change. The men are receiving abund
ant rations now, as we have had ever
since reaching camp at Augusta, and no
complaints have been heard on account
of rations. Frank M. Hume,
Colonel, Commanding
2nd Maine Infantry.
Laredo, Texas, July 19,1916. Having
seen from Maine papers many copies of
letters from this section, and num< rous
reports of our start from Maine and sub
sequent trip southwest, many of which
are misleading to say the least, 1 desire
to state some plain facts with the under
standing that they be used by the Press
either as a whole or in part as may be
desired.
We left Maine with the men in ordi
nary day coaches (not rattle traps) and
the men were delighted and the officers
much gratified when two days later at
Kansas City tourist sleepers were pro
vided. The United States intends to
transport its soldiers in tourist cars, but
it would not be hard for anyone not look
ing for criticism to realize that in such
an immense movement as has been the
present one it would be impossible to
provide tourist sleepers and kitchen cars
for all these troops, and I wonder that

nights in them. In place of kitchen cars
we had baggage cars with an oven in
stalled, which answered the purpose
admirably. The day coaches were the
best which could be furnished and much
better than were assigned the Maine
Regiments who attended maneuvers at
Manassas some years ago, when we
made the whole trip in “Jim Crow” cars.
The travel ration was excellent and
ample, and in the matter of meals the
enlisted men were served better than
the officers, having their meals at regu
lar times, while the officers had to de
pend upon railroad restaurants, with
meals coming at times close together and
at other times being more hours apart
than one would wish. However, we all
fared well. I have never known a time
when railroads served troops so well in
the important matters of water and ice,
and our arrival at Laredo was one day
ahead of the time we had set. Mr. Doane
of the M. C. R. R. accompanied us
throughout the trip and was at all times
looking out for us in every way, and he
earned the gratitude of the Regiment by
his whole-hearted interest in us and our
welfare. We know of no other railroad
which sent its representative with the
troops apart from over their own line
and the presence of Mr. Doane smooth
ed out all difficulties before we got to
them.
We reached Laredo the afternoon of
July 4th, and since that time have been
getting settled and now are about ready
to begin to build an organization on the
return of the Battalions from patrol
duty on which they have been sent. The
heat here is something new to Maine
men hut there is no humidity and there
have been no prostrations. And every
day there is a cooi breeze blowing, which
offsets to a degree the heat of the sun.
And the nights are the most delightful 1
have ever experienced. Our sickness so
far is from minor ailments due to change
of living and food, and we believe that
we have not so much sickness as we
would have in camp at Augusta. The
food supply is ample and of excellent
quality, and water is piped through the
camp, with a tap at each kitchen, and an
ample supply for bathing and watering
streets about camp. The water is filter
ed hut we are ordered to boil it before
drinking, which of course takes time
and causes some objection.
In relation to cerrain “Diamond Dick”
or “Nick Carter” tales which have been
related in certain State of Maine papers,
in regard to stabbings, shootings and sui
cides, I would state that it has never
been the experience of the Regiment to
be quartered in a place where they were
so well treated by the citizens as in the
City of Laredo. We are welcomed here
heartily and the Board of Trade has done
everything in its power to make us com
fortable and to make us teel at home.
It is a quiet town, with Mexican quar
ters of the type of most Mexican cities.
And, in spite of the presence of many
mately 5,000 of the National Guard, in
addition to the Regular Army and regu
lar Coast Artillery Corps, stationed here,
we have heard of n . affrays and men
are allowed about town at night without
restraint. The Ninth Infantry has been
stationed here for thirty months and
while the men would not select such a
hot place to spend the summer months,
they appear contented and are splend'd
soldiers. And I do not know of a single
case of suicide in their ranks. The Rio
Grande is about half a mile from our
camp and is patrolled on the Mexican
side by soldiers, but their duties are the
same as those of the patrols on this side,
to prevent smuggling and border raids.
Laredo is considered a health resort and
certainly the experience of our regiment,
transported from the far northeast at a
time when Maine had had no warm
weather to the midsummer heat of the
Tropics, would appear to bear that claim
out.
I believe this is a true statement of
conditions.
Very truly yours,
Frank B. Cummings,
Lieut. Col., 2nd Maine Infantry.
Mold on Canned Goods.
Mold may develop on canned goods—
"(1) If the seal is defective.
(2) If, after sterilizing, tops are re
moved from jars to replace rubber ring.
Jars should be returned to the canner
for at least five minutes when this is
done.
(3) If jars are kept in a damp place
where the rubber may decompose, mold
may enter through these decomposed
rubbers.

A MARYLAND PROGRESSIVE LEADER
Regards Wilson ’ as the Weakest and Most
Incompetent Man who has ever been
President.’’
Many Progressives, who are dissatis
fied with President Wilson’s Mexican
policy, have declared that they would
support Mr. Hughes. T. G. Pownall of
i Cumberland, Md., a Progressive leader
in that State, criticised the President
I and declared for the Republican nomi
nee in a le ter received by Chairman
Willcox. “I regard the election ol Mr.
Hughes as certain and hope that the
dawdling, inane, vacilating policy of Mr.
Wilson on the Border will be vigorously
exposed," wrote Mr. Pownall.
"The whole furore along the Border
was by design and was developed to be
get in the minds of our people a spirit of
war and chivalry to boost the waning
political fortunes of Mr. Wilson, whom 1
regard as the weakest and most incom
petent man who has ever been Presi
dent.
“You may read in the papers that
Progressives here and elsewhere are for
Wilson. Don’t be misled. This was
the stronghold of the Progressives in '
Maryland. I was at the head of the
Progressive party and 1 do not know a
single one, other than a half score of
Progressives who were Democrats, who
will support Mr. Wilson.”

1U BUY DANISH WEST INDIES. |
Copenhagen, July 24. A treaty for j
the purchase of the Danish West Indies ,
by the United States has been negotiated
betweer the governments of Denmark
and the United States, and, in the near
future, is to be submitted to the Senate :
and House of the United States and to !
the two houses of the Danish Parliament
for approval, according to information
given a Philadelphia Ledger correspon
dent today in Copenhagen by the highest
official authority.
If the treaty is ratified as it stands in
“project” form today, the United Slates
will pay for the islands $25,000,0110, and
in addition will relinquish to Denmark
the rights of the United States in Green- :
land. Greenland is a Danish possession ]
and the rights which the United States '
will abandon are merely rights of dis
covery, the scope of which is ill-defined.
The United States will obtain from
Denmark full possession of the islands of
St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, or
Santa Cruz, as it is better known. These
islands lie about 50 miles off the cots of
Porto Rico. They are 142 miles in area
and support a population of 27,000 per
sons. Nearly all the inhabitants of the
islands are negroes, who live by the culti
vation of cane sugar.

C< >RN PACK 70 PFR CENT OF NOR M \L
Cold Weather and Fain Holding Crop Back;
U arm Weather Ne. ded.
The most optimistic view of the corn
packers of the State does not place the
promise of this year’s pack much above
7<> per cent of the normal.
The prospects of even that figure de
pends very largely upon continued fair
arat warm weather for the remainder of
this month and August.
The planting was delayed on account
of cold weather until nearly two weeks
inter than is usual under normal condi
tions. While th s is bound to have con
siderable effect upon the size of the
crop, the fundamental cause tor the an
ticipated shortage can be laid at the door
of this year’s short acreage of the corn
producing land of the Stale.
Maine’s corn-producing territory cov
ers, in ail, about 16,000 acres, and of
this area there have been planted this
year only about 11,000 acres.
The shortening of the acreage was
due to the long-continued rains, which so
saturated the soil with water that much
of it was in no condition for planting
when the time came. Much of the land
-vas then under ponds of water and even
today is soggy with moisture.
Under normal conditions, Maine puts
up 15,000,000 cases of corn as its natural
output. This year’s canning will not
exceed 11,000,000, according to the con
census of opinion expressed by the can
ners.
Bert M. Fernald of Poland, one of the
State’s leading canners, does not take
an optimistic view of the situation, plac
ing the year’s pack as low as 55 to 60
per cent., contending that much the
richest land which in past years has been
the largest producer has not been utilized
this year. Of the land that is producing
a crop he medicts that its yield will not
be more than 90 per cent of what the
same land usually preduces.

Development of Social Side of Rural Life
Prominent Feature of Club Projects.
In the early development of the agri
cultural club work the financial possioil
ities were usually stressed, and large
cash prizes were offered to induce young
people to enter into and complete the
various phases of club work. This
method of creating interest has fallen
into disfavor, i'ne tendency has been
to present ide work on its merits. The
desire on the part of club leacjers and
other extension workers is that the mem
bers enter the work for the benefits to
be derived rather than in t^e hope of
winning a large cash prize.
The agricultural papers of the country
have published the financial side of the
work. The school authorities are more
and more appreciating the educational
value of practical agriculture. Many
educators, who know the great need of
rural children for school training that
will fit them for their environment—life
on the farm —turn to the agricultural
club work as one of the means of vital
izing the work of the rural schools—
especially those schools that are attempt
ing to teach agriculture without ade
quate laboratory equipment. Such edu
cators see in club work a means to the
end that the home farm of the student
becomes an efficient working laboratory
without the expense to the school sys
tem. They have been convinced tha
ihe schools that are active in club work
are in general the most efficient schools,
and that the pupils engaged in club work
are not only the best behaved but thai
their scholarship grades are much high
er than those of the non cluh memuers.
! l'his comes from the fact that the neces
j sary motive is offered and the heart in
I terests of the children are engaged. As
I a result, the school work and the home
j life of the members are tied up very
: closely and the relation between the two
i is more firmly cemented. Club work is
; an important spoke in the wheel of vo
i national training which is rapidly being
rolled to the forefront of educational
endeavor.
The social side of club work is more
and more to receive the attention its im
portance merits. The cluh groups in
practically every State of the Union are
holding regular monthly meetings under
! perienced leader (In many casts school
j teachers.) Officers elected from the
club membership preside and carry on
the meeting according to parliamentary
law. The programs, together with ref
erences and suggestions, are furnished
to the club each month by the State
agent. Each member reports the prog
ress of his or her work. Timely articles
of instruction are presented by the mem
bers and by experienced adults. In
most of the Northern and Western
States the club meeting is divided into
three sections: First, business; second,
subject matter program; and, third, the
Hoctal program, suggestions being fur
nished by leaders on ail three phases. As
a rule, 90 minutes are used, giving 20
minutes to business, 40 to the subject
matter, and 30 to the social interests.
The local leader is always present at
these meetings to advise and direct
when necessary.
The association with each other and
with those taking part in the club pro
gram causes the members to wear off
the rough corners of their social sid3.
Tne individualistic tendency of the rural
people is thus weakened and the way to
rural cooperation aim organization is
paved. Strictly social meetings, picnics,
field days, etc., are held at various
times. Tnus, the dub work tends to
take an increasingly important part in
the development of the social side of
| rural life.— News Letter, U. S. Dept, of

DEMOCRATIC EX I RAVAGANCE.
We wish that those numerous Repub

They can at least say that these Demo

extravagance are as extravagant as Rt

country is richer now. We wish the
