“MORE SHEEP, MORE WOOL.”
For many years past The Journal has
advocated the raising of sheep in Maine,
not only for their wool but for meat.
There are many farms that have land
suitable for sheep, and good for nothing
else. Mr. S. G. Norton, noted as a suc
cessful farmer, has always kept sheep,
and certainly would not have continued to
keep them if they had not proved profit
able. He kept them on his farm in Pa
lermo, and since retiring from the office
of Sheriff of Waldo county has kept a
small flock on his farm in South Belfast
and is the first to market spring lambs,
which bring an extra price. In the very
early days the wool from the Maine
farmers sheep was carded, spun and
made into clothing by the farmer’s wife.
In later years many sheep were kept,
but with an adverse tariff this industry
declined here and elsewhere in the coun
try until not enough wool was produced
for home consumption., Alfred Decker
of Alfred Decker & Cohn, Chicago, in
an address before the annual convention
of the Ohio Retail Clothiers convention,
Feb'y 14, 1917, presented some interest
ing and important facts and figures in
support of his plea that the clothing
manufacturers and retailers should get
behind the “more sheep, more wool”
campaign recently started and which has
culminated in the National Sheep and
Woo! Bureau, located in Chicago.
Wool is one of the few every day es
sentials that we do not raise in sufficient
quantity to meet our wants: Virtually
all other raw products required for our
daily wants are produced in excess of
our needs, and we have a surplus to sell
to foreign countries. But while our
population is increasing, our sheep are
decreasing. We consume in this coun
try approximately five hundred and fifty
ro six hundred million pounds a year.
We raised last year two hundred and
eighty-eight million pounds, which means
that we were obliged to import about
three hundred million pounds. While in
1900 one million farmers kept sheep, and
in 3910 three quarters of a million, to
day. judging from good sources of in- I
formation,only about one-half million are
engaged in raising wool. There are to
day thirteen million less sheep in the
United States than in 1900. In seven
years our crop diminished over thirty and
one-tali million. Texas has two and
one half million sheep againBt eight mil
lion in 1883, and the State of Texas
could, if the country was fenced, sup
port enough sheep to supply the whole
nation. The far Western States Bhow
the same ratio of decrease; only two or
three States show a slight increase.
The decrease of sheep raising in some
sections is due to industrial and agricul
tural development along other lines.
Texas is producing oil and growing
onions and other vegetables where form
erly sheep were herded, but there are
thousands of acres as yet uncultivated
and unimproved, suitable for sheep rais
ing, and this is measurably true of other
States. As Mr. Decker said in hie
dress: ‘‘There is room a plenty for more
than 150 million sheep in the United
States. There are many million acres
of cut-over land in the North and South
awaiting the golden hoof that enriches
every good inch of ground it treads.”
Comparing England with our situation
Mr. Decker says: “You can put that
whole country in the upper and lower
peninsular of Michigan, and yet they
have thirty miilon sheep. If they can
raise wool profitably on land valued at
from $500 to $2,000 per acre, why not
here? Sheep have made England the
richest agricultural nation of its size in
the world. Without sheep, millions of
acres of chalk, so-called barren land in
England, would be useless for the pro
duction of farm crops. But sheep are
the greatest fertilizer. Put sheep on
the worn-out farms of New England and
you will no longer see her sons move
away.”
This mention of England recalls to the
writer notes of a trip to England and
Scotland some years ago. We did not
see much of the agricultural sections
and saw but one large sheep ranch (as it
would be called in this country) and that
was in the vicinity of Edinburg. But
we saw sheep everywhere. If the avail
able land would only support half a dozen
sheep that number was kept, and with
more land there were more sheep.
Sheep were always found on the estates
of the nobility and of people of wealth,
as much for their meat as for their wool,
and the many small units helped to make
up the grand total of thirty millions.
The same result would be brought about
in this country if every farmer would
follow the example of those across the
water and keep what Bbeep he could well
care for. Not many would engage in
sheep raising on a large scale although
under present conditions it must be prof
itable.

Mr, Decker, “but it is fair to presume
that England will first cover her own

CAMP FIRE GIRLS OF AMERICA
Pledge Loyalty and Service.
The following dispatch and its reply
definitely commits the national organiza
tion of Camp Fire Girls to the highest
form of patriotic service:
“To the President of the United States:
Eighty-eight thousand Camp Fire
Girls, from twelve to eighteen years
old, pledge themselves to preparedness
in the home; they pledge themselves to
learn to care for babies and little chil
dren; to study the economical production
and preparation of food; to learn the
theory and practice of simple "first aid,”
to guard at every point their bodily
health, and that of the women of the
nation.”
The Camp Fire Girls, Inc.
(Signed Luther Gulick, Pres.
Lester F. Scott, Sec.
Gabrielle Mulliner, Exec, Com.
The White House, Washington.
‘ ‘The President deeply appreciates your
very generous and patriotic proffer of
your services, and he wishes in this in
foi mal way to express his grateful
thanks.”
To those familiar with the principles
of Camp Fire this action on the part of
its leaders does not come as a surprise.
Since July, 1916, when a new rank
known as the Minute Girls was created
preparation for the present crisis has
been going quietly forward and an army
of girls and women have fitted them
selves for practical service through a
knowledge of baby craft, home econo
mics, primitive methods of food prepara
tion, building and controlling of out of
door fires, first aid and personal hardi
hood.
Dr. Gulick says: in “Wohelo”: “We have
taken the pledge of Bervice. What form
that service is to take must be for our
leader to decide—the leader who was
chosen by a great people to represent
them before the nations in this hour of
world peril.
Ours is a peculiar place in the great
army corps, we are an organization of
girls—have girls any part in prepared
ness? Can they do anything in times of
trouble or calamity? We believe that
Camp Fire Girls will prove in thousands
of homes and communities that they
have a very real service to give to their
country.
In the last analysis it is the home for
which men give their lives—the crossed
logs of the fire and the loved ones who
gather there. If when the word comes,
it be a call to armB, it will be ours to
kee p the crossed logs burning, to make
the spirit of Camp Fire, which is the
spirit of the home, reach out to the very
forefront of the battle to cheer and give
courage.”

The Bible in Literature.
To the Editor of The Journal:
Here we have the fountain source of all
literature, a sparkling spring gurgling
out of the earth on the eastern continent.
Its waters have flowed to the uttermost
parts of the earth. And when a speaker
takes an audience to the Bpring and says
“Here is the place where all must drink,
for the outgoing water becomes so con
taminated as to be decidedly injurious,”
we do not wonder that those who have
found very pure water in other places,
get sleepy. The fountain spring ia good
in its place, but the stream below is use
ful in many ways as for power and navi
gation. There is no doubt that Bible
writers were one with the creative spirit
of the universe and thereby acquired
from creative sources thoughts beneficial
to themselves and the people who read
of their experience.
But it cannot with truth be said that
the Bible writers were more fully direct
ed by the Divine spirit than the producer
of a steam engine, and a large part of
the Christian world is beginning to recog
nize this fact. Religious fanatics who
would confine religion within the lids of
the Bible, or within the four walls of the
sanctuary, are the greatest enemies of
Christianity.
Dr. Batten of Philadelphia, who as
secretary of a federation of more than
thirty Christian denominations recently
spoke in Seattle in behalf of social wel
fare work made social welfare work
as essential to Christian life as prayer.
Of course as a social worker he was
intensely interested in the places of abode
from which the thousands of innocent
American children come to the juvenile
courts to be sentenced to a brief stay in
some house of correction, only to be re
turned to their former habits of life.
The comforts of home they never knew,
except during their brief Btay at the re
formatory. The reformatory should be
abolished and in its place a home should be
established for the children. Such a
work would be true prayer, clothed in
material form. It is high time that peo
ple should go about their own work in
stead of eternally imploring God to do it
for them.
.... ...i,,. ,l.:i- t.il, tr.. ....M.r.™.,
of today by methods adapted to primeval
ages are so many useless weights im
peding the progress of society. Luther
thought to reform the church, but suc
ceeded in simply establishing a new rill
from the same fountain, and later in life
decided that no one beside himself should
attempt a similar work; hut, like Paul of
old, thought all should follow him as he
followed Christ, Paul was not the first
man thinking himself in the direct pro
cession leading from Christ to futurity.
We read in the history of the disciples of
those performing miracles in the name
of Christ. Other disciples reported the
matter to the Master, adding and “we
forbade them because they followed not
us.” But the response was “Forbid
them not, for those not against us, are
for us.”
Again we have given as Christian
graces, "faith, hope and charity, but
the greatest of these is charity.” Faith
to many is simply the realization of the
existence of divinity as the origin of
nature. To others, it is a belief in the
fallacy that the wrath of Divinity is ap
peased by sacrifice. Out of this fallacy
grew asceticism. Faith in its fullness is
confidence in the fullness of nature’s
laws. But we are told that charity is
greater than any form of faith. And
what is charity? Charity is an attempt
to view the matter from the other fel
lows view point. We know that the
picture of a building looks very different
when taken from an opposite Bide or
even a different angle, that is the reason
whycharity is emphasized. Charity would
end all war. It would enable those of
opposing views to work together in har
mony, for they would realize that they
simply possessed opposite sides of the
same great fact.
ine puDllC aeinanu uini uie ttracuer
and preacher be a sort of fountain of
living waters, which he showers down
upon the people. There is a tendency
toward inactivity on the part of the ma
jority and there are always those who
are willing to work for money. Hence
both education and religion are carried
forward more by proxy than is for the
benefit of the world. In former ages
society imposed the death penalty upon
those who would radically change the
trend of human conduct.
Facts of science, like the prevention
of yellow fever, have cost the benefac
tors of our race their lives. There is op
position to change or progress in all the
walks of life. Moses gave a good school
boy’s account of the creation of the
earth, which has been elaborated but not
contradicted by modern science. Modern
sociology learns many valuable lessons
from the early domestic life of the Jews.
Fairy stories of the ancients have ever
illustrated in a child-like manner many
of the fundamental truths of life. Mod
ern government is doing a few things il
lustrated in the Christ life, like healing
the sick, feeding the hungry and teach
ing the laws by which all things exist.
The Bible tells us to consider the lily and
learn a lesBon therefrom. Modern science
teaches its lesson in the same way. If
no one claimed more for the Bible than
its due, it would take its place as the
foundation of all literature. It is surely
as worthy of study in our schools as
Shakespeare though scenes of murder
should be eradicated from all literature.
Will society ever reach that standard?
In the Bible as in science, we study
man’s duty to bis fellow man, force of
wordB in sentences,' paths of planets
through space, and all the minute details
of the behavior of bodies both great and
small. The great movements of people
like the Crusades are as truly Bible as
any act of ancient Jew or apostle.
Men spent their lives and fortunes
without attaining that for which they
sought, but they obtained incidentally
something infinitely more valuable, viz,
the amassing of human experience. Peo
ple of today need not cross continents to
—
obtain the valuable experience of others.
It ia more easy to see wherein our neigh
bor excels in business affairs than it is
in edi-cation and religion, because dol
lars, the result of business, are more
easily computed than character, the re
sult of education and religion.
Pestalozzi wrote some Bible when he
said: "There is in the child an active
power of faith and love, the two prin
ciples by which under divine guidance,
our nature is made to participate in the
highest blessings that are in store for
us."
Caroline Faryl, commenting on the
book from which the above is a good quo
tation, says: “It need not have been
put into English or any language into
which the word of God has been trans
lated, for it belies it utterly.”
Those who view Pestalozzi’s teaching
as out of harmony with the Bible have
in mind some human interpretation
rather than the words of Christ, where
he says, "Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, for of such
is the Kingdom of heaven.” The Bible
story of how Eve was made from a rib
taken out of Adam is doubtless true,
but the modern name of that rib is germ
cell. The material for our redemption
flowed from the side of Christ, the son of
God, just as naturally aB Eve was de
veloped from the original rib or germ
cell.
The side of the great Christ spirit is
today accessible to all, not because he
hanged upon the cross, but Decause he
walked and talked among men, and we
today have the record of his teachings.
The story of the creation of Eve is the
embryo of modern physiology. The
Bible as a whole is the embryo of mod
ern science, which is a Bible in process
of development.
ine above wag printed in a local paper
last year ami a few days later in the
columns of the same paper one of the
bretheren of the stereotyped faith cen
sured it as a slam at Martin Luther, a
jab at Paul, a scoffing at the disciples,
giving the lie to the story ot Adam and
Eve, and he alludes to science as the
devil’s Bible.
We have a host of such men today,
who with the best of intentions are real
ly a greater hindrance to true progress
than the rumsei er. They are found
among the most gifted preachers who
denounce Unitarianism as darkest hell, \
Christian Science as the devil in kid
gloves, and evolution as the invention of
satan.
With the majority of our preachers of
that type there is little wonder that only
5 per cent of the people on the Pacific
coast belong to churches. As a matter
of fact Unitarianism has existed since
thje dawning of the Christian era, only it
failed to get the support of the Roman
Emperor, hence the true interprets* ion
of Christianity fell into disrepute. Chris
tian Science appears before the world
every Sunday with fine selections from
the Bible, together with Mrs. Eddy’s
explanation of the same as arranged by
some leader of the church. Mrs. Eddy’s
writings are so extensive that any man
would be able to compile a good Sunday
Bervice from her writings and the Bible.
The only just criticism that can be
brought against Christian Science could
also Se brought against its critics, and
that is that, the man who prepares the
service gets a greater benefit than those
who listen, for the Bible says “Be ye
doers and not hearers only.” Evolution,
so often censured by those who know
nothing of it, is the fundamental princi
ple of science and religion.

WAR.
To The Editor of The Journal. As
far as I can understand the present situa
tion, a state of war exists between the
United States of America, and Germany.
It is highly probable that we in Belfast
will never hear the report of the cannon
of the Kaiser, the reason advanced for
this statement being the fact that Ger
many is quite busy at present at home.
There is a very remote possibility of a
German raider getting lost in the fog
and making the port of Belfast between
two days, also it is possible that at some
time, a lUboat might periscope her way
around Islesboro and take a sail ud the
bay, I have heard that U-boats, and
raiders carry guns, and in case they got
to using those guns some of our shade
trees might get damaged.
Of course our cruisers, and coast pa
trol would get here on the double quick,
and rout the enemy, but some little time
would elapse before the arrival of the
Naval policemen on the scene.
I should think it would be a very ex
cellent idea if we had a nice little three
inch rifle to convey to the possible
visitor from over the waters a proper
American greeting.
I wonder if there isn’t some way we
can procure at least one little field gun
for the defence of Belfast.
If our ships had carried even one small
gun, three-fourthB cf them would have
out Blugged the submarines.
Even though there is very little danger
of our needing that gun, I don’t like to
thiak of Belfast being unprotected.
This may be a while lot of senseless,
"supposing”; but then again, it may net
be.

THE BLUEHILL COPPER MINE.
The F amous Coast Property to be Operated
On Lai ge Scale.
Bluehill, March 28. With the finan
cial backing of the American Smelting
& Refining Co., which means the Guggen
heim interests, the Bluehill copper mines
of this town, ihe most valuable mining
properly in Maine, long idle for lack of
monetary support, are about to be re
opened and operated upon a most ex
tensive scale. In fact, the work has
already started and within a period of
four months at the outside it is promised
that hundreds of men will be given em
ployment there.
Already large sums have been expend
ed for lumber and other materials and
supplies. This activity will mean a great
deal to eastern Maine, especially, but to
the whole State, as well, as it ensures
permanent work for many years to eome.
Until recently the property was owned
by John S. Morris, he having purchased
the interests of his partner, Major George
M. Irwin of New York. Mr. Morris has
disposed of the bulk of his holdings, but
retains a block of stock which will make
him a partner in the new concern. Work
would have been starte I some months
ago had it not been for delays in the de
livery of equipment, That, however,
has been eliminated and the concentrat
ing plant and mine machinery are on
iheir way. Inside of four months all the
equipment will have been installed and
in operation and products will have been
shipped to the smelter.
For a year and a half Mr. Morris has
been engaged with some of the most
noted mining engineers, metallurgical
experts, in the examination of the sur
face and inside of the shafts. In the 238
acres which the mining property covers,
these experts concede that there are mil
lions of tons of ore and that it will take
years to exhaust the supply. Then, to ;,
the new interests start by having on the
surface at the o!d Douglass shaft more
than 20,01)0 tons of ore, promising a pro
fit of $100,000 in copper alone, and this
figured on the basis of 15 cents, which
would mean more than double that, at
present prices.
ine oiu Ltougiass shatt, now 375 te» t
in depth, will be used ar first and will be
sunk to a depth of 1000 feet, opening up
two or more levels.
In addition to the copper contained in
this ore, there has been found other pre
cious metals, goid and silver having a
profitable working value. These ores
also carry 28 per cent, sulphur, which
also has a value, although in the past it
was a costly e ement that had to be elim
inated before smeiting.
There will be no smelting plant at
Bluehill, and all ores are to be concen
trated and shipped to rhe company’s
great, smelting plant in Perth Amboy,
N. J
Mr. Morris had been more or less iden
tified with thesf properties since their
discovery in 1878, but nor until 1904 did
he become an outright owner with others.

Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect

action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many r.ervous, tired, run-down men

If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, disordered or
