Mothers’ Aid Law Goes Into Effect in
Maine.
Augusta, Me., July 7. Capt. James
F. Bagley, secretary of the State Board
of Charities and Corrections, is sending
out to the municipal boards instructions
on the Mothers’ Aid law passed at the
last session of the Legislature, which be
came effective today.
The act provides that every city and
town shall help mothers with children
under 14. The applicants must apply in
person to the Municipal Board of Moth
ers’ Aid and file a statement of their re
sources, and when medical aid is required
the request shall be made to the nearest
hospital receiving State aid.
Dependent children upon reaching 14
shall go to work for the time allowed by
the school attendance laws, if physically
able. Cash aid will be given in every
case, if the mother is found to be compe
tent to manage cash, and if she is not
competent, some one else will be ap
pointed. The municipal board will be re
quired to furnish proof satisfactory to
the State board that the applicant has
lived in Maine for five years. When an
applicant moves out of a city or town it
will be necessary for a new application to
be made.
The largest amount to be allowed any
applicant is $10 a month, where the moth
er has one child, and S4 for each addi
tional child. There is available for these
gratuities $10,000 for this year and $25,
000 in 1918.
New Liquor Laws in Effect.
AUGUSTA, Me., July 7. Among the
new laws which became operative in
Maine today were several concerning the
Prohibitory Liquor law.
The measures include the imposition of
straight jail sentences in liquor cases,
with no alternative, but a judge may use
his discret ion in suspending a sentence.
Another act bearing on the liquor sit
uation broadens injunction proceedings,
making the owners of buildings where
liquor is sold liable, after due notice. An
other prohibits transportation companies
from delivering liquor to any other place
than the regular place of business of the
consignee.
Other liquor legislation now in effect
removes county attorneys for failure to
enforce the Prohibitory law, provides for
the seizure and forfeiture of automobiles
and other vehicles used in the transporta
tion of liquor, makes a stiffer penalty for
pocket pedlers and also affects those who
loiter about saloons and give information
as to the approach of officers.—Special
Dispatch to the Globe.

MAINE TIMBER DEAL.
About 14,000 Acres in Merrill Town
Bought by Vermont Syndicate.
St. JOHNSBURV, Vt., July 6. A syn
dicate of St. Johnsbury men composed of
Georgie W. Caldbeck, Dr. J. M. Allen, D.
A. Lurchin, C. R. Lynch, F. C. Mayo, G.
E. Woods, C. A. Burrows and E. J.
Demers have completed a deal for a tract
of timberland in northern Maine, known
as Merrill Town, comprising 14,000 acres.
The land is in the Lake Megantic region
near Lowelltown and part of it is adja
cent to the Canadian Pacific Railway. It
is heavily timbered with hard and soft
wood and the St. Johnsbury corporation
will begin logging operations this fall.
The saw will be put into the 100,000,000
feet of spruce first, and marketing nego
tiations have already been made. The
clear stock will be used for the manu
facture of aeroplanes and the second cut
for pulp.
Will ship Wounded Direct to Portland.
Word has been received from Wash
ington that wounded American soldiers at
the front “somewhere in France” will be
shipped to Portland direct from the bat
tle grounds by transports. In order to
accommodate the wounded, Major Cous
ins of the local Medical Reserve Corps
unit has taken the matter in hand. He
is preparing to take over, as soon as pos
sible, all the hospitals necessary through
out the State. If the number of wound
ed is large and accommodations cannot
be made at all of the hospitals which are
taken over, such buildings as can be turn
ed into emergency hospitals will be solicit
ed in different parts of the State.
Dr. Cousins will immediately ascertain
the capacity of all hospitals in the State
and likewise the capacity and number of
other buildings that can be easily given
over to the hospital work. Several peo
ple in Portland have already offered build
ings and these have been gratefully ac
cepted. Arrangements are being made
for wharfage for the transport steamers
which will come to Portland.

some three months ago, the favorable
word being received by him last Satur

her speed.
Death of General Connor.
General Selden Connor died in Augusta
on Tuesday, July 10th, and Governor
Milliken promptly issued the following
exceedingly appropriate announcement of
the loss sustained by the State of Maine:
STATE OF MAINE.
Executive Chamber.
With profound sorrow I announce to
the people of Maine the death, this day,of
former Governor Selden Connor of Au
gusta, Maine.
General Connor, son of William and
Mary (Bryant) Connor, was bornl n Fair
field, Me., January 25, 1839. He received
his education at St. Albans Academy,
Westbrook Seminary, and graduated from
Tufts College, 1859. Soon after his grad
uation he began the study of law in the
office of Washburn & Marsh of Wood
stock, Vermont, but on the first call of
President Lincoln for troops in 1861, he
abandoned his law studies and enlisted as
a private in the First Vermont Volun
teers. When the 7th Regiment was or
ganized in Maine, he was elected and
commissioned by Governor Washburn as
lieutenant-colonel of that regiment, serv
ing through all the campaign in Virginia
until December, 1863, when he was com
missioned colonel of the 19th Maine. As
the senior colonel he commanded the bri
gade to which the regiment was assigned,
attached to the Second Division, Second
Army Corps, under General Winfield
Scott Hancock. Upon consolidation of
the corps comprising the Army of the
Potomac in April, 1864, he returned to
his regiment and at the Battle of the
Wilderness May 6th he was seriously
wounded and taken to Fredericksburg,
and thence to the Douglass hospital where
he remained until July, 1865, when he
was removed to his home in Maine. In
June. 1864, President Lincoln, in recogni
tion of his eminent service and conspicu
ous bravery, appointed him a brigadier
ueneral of volunteers.
General Connor was one of the young
est to win high rank early in the Civil
war. It is well known that his promo
tions were due to his active and intelli
gent services. His military record is a
matter of justifiable pride to all citizens
of the State of Maine. In 1868 he was
appointed United States Assessor of In
ternal Revenue for the 3d Division of
Maine, and in 1870 was appointed collect
or for the State, in which position he re
mained until 1875, when he resigned to
accept the nomination for governor. His
election followed in September of that
year, and his popularity was such that he
was twice re-elected. In 1882 he was ap
pointed United States Pension Agent for
the State of Maine, a position he held for
several years until he resigned to enter
business. In 1893 he was appointed Ad
jutant General, and served as such dur
ing the administration of Governor Henry
B. Clea\ es. In 1897 he was again ap
pointed United States Pension Agent
with headquarters at Augusta.
As a mark of respect to his memory
the National flag will be displayed at
half mast on all public buildings, includ
ing armories of the National Guard, un
til sunset on the day of the funeral.
Given at the Executive Chamber in
Augusta, this ninth day of July, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and seventeen, and of
the Independence of the United States
of America the one hundred and
forty-first. Carl E. Milliken,
Governor.

Frank W. Ball, Secretary of State.
Laywers In Congress.
“If the present Congress err in too
much talking, how can it be otherwise, in
a body to which the people send 150 law
yers whose trade is to question every
thing, yield nothing and talk by the hour?
That 150 lawyers should do business to
gether ought not to be expected.”
The foregoing was written about the
present Congress, of course? Not at all.
It was written upwards of 120 years ago
by Thomas Jefferson.
But it is as true to day as it was then.

Shoes for Armv Ordered.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Contracts for
2.175.000 pairs of army shoes at an aver
age price of $4.73 a pair have just been
awarded by the quartermaster’s division
of the war department. The award in
clude 950,000 pairs of marching shoes and
1.225.000 pairs of field shoes. Agreements
with 29 manufacturers call for the com
pletion of all deliveries before the end of
the year. Prices were 12 cents a pair
lower than those of the first contracts
awarded May 29th, for 2,000,000 pairs. At
that time also 850,000 pairs were awarded
for the navy, making 5,252,000 pairs con
tracted for to date by the government.
The defense council’s committee on shoe
and leather industries recently formed an
agreement with*tanners to furnish the
government with all leather necessary for
army purposes at a fixed rate. “Had these
arrangements not been made,’’said an of
ficial announcement Tuesday, “the manu
facturers would have been compelled to
go into the open market and bid against
each other, and the leather market, al
ready high, would undoubtedly have ad
vanced again.’’

FOR FLETCHER’S
CASTORIA
PARTISAN PRbrbRbINCb.
Washington, !). C., July 11. Con
firmation of a report that the Massachu
setts and other New England national
guard regiments were to be sent to the
cantonment at Fayetteville, N. C., for!
training before their dispatch to France,
today, caus ed vigorous representations of
protest to be made to the war department
by both Senators Weeks and Lodge.
Acording to the plans of the war de
partment, it is calculated it will be impos- I
sible to ship the men over the seas until
early winter on account of the shortage i
of ships.
The Massachusetts senators pointed
out to the war department officials that it
would be exceedingly unwise to send
Massachusetts troops into the South for
training and then send them to northern
France during the winfer season. It was
stated that they could be better acclimat
ed if trained at some point in New Eng
land where they would encounter practi
cally the same climatic conditions exist
ing in northern France.
Senator Lodge was bitter in his denun
ciation of the proposal. “To send these
men down South, where they will be sub
jected to a mild climate, and then with
out further acclimation send them over
seas seems to me one of the worst pro
posals yet advanced by the war depart
ment.”
Members of the Massachusetts delega
tion acquainted with the situation today
freely charged that the war department
was prostituting the welfare of the men
called to the colors to the exigencies of
partisan politics. “All this means,” said
one prominent member of the delegation,
“is th at the war department wants to
spend money in the South. It should be
made the subject of a unanimous protest
from the New England States.”—Boston
Herald.

Mid the pines of dear old Maine
We are list’ning for the call
That shall say our boys are needed forthe
strife.
And they’ll stand behind the flag
Like the men of ’61.
And defend it now as they did with their
life.
CHORUS.
Maine, Maine, Maine, we hear thee
calling
To your sons so brave and true.
And we know the boys in brown
Will be sure to win renown
As did those who once so bravely wore
the blue.
Where the surf breaks on the rocks
Up and down our rugged coast,
Our good Navy will protect us front the
foe.
And we have no need of fear
With our home guard always near,
Though our boys in khaki to the front
must go.

Investigation is Vexation.
The price of grub still upward goes,
The cost of shoes I’d hate to state;
But says the guy who thinks he knows,
“Somebody will investigate.”
Let meat and eggs and bread and pie,
And all the stuff we ever ate,
Go climbing upward to the sky;
Somebody will investigate.
Full many a hope stirs in my breast,
As headlines bold vociferate;
The barons, trusts, and all the rest
Somebody will investigate.
Commissions then begin their fuss,
At length their findings they relate;
But any good that comes to us,
I wish you would investigate.

Belfast People Should Ask 1 hemselves
This Question.
Don’t say: “It’s just a cold.”
It may turn into backache, rheumatic
aches, achy joints.
Or other serious sickness that comes
from weak kidneys.
Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys over
work to filter the blood.
Colds often leave the kidneys weak.
First break the cold;
Then use Doan’s Kidney Pills to avert
the kidney dangers.
Let this Belfast resident tell you about
them.
A. J. Noyes, Vine street, Belfast, says:
“I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills off and
on for a few years and they have always
relieved me of attacks of kidney trouble.
I was in such bad shape with backache
about six months ago that I couldn’t
move. I believe my work, driving so
much and the jolting, was what caused
the trouble. Every cold I caught made
the complaint worse. Whenever I have
been troubled in that way, I have got
Doan’s Kidney Pills from the Old Corner
Drug Store and in a short time they have
fixed me up. I recommend this medicine
willingly.”
Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply
ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid
ney Pills—the same that Mr. Noyes had.

BUMPER CROPS.
A billion bushels increase over lac
year’s production in the principal foo
crops is the response American farmei
have made to President Wilson’s mid
April appeal, saying that upon thei
“rests the fate of the war and the fate c
nations.”
The extent of the farmers’ respons
was disclosed recently when a productio
of 6,093,000,000 bushels of principal foo
crops was forecast in the Department c
Agriculture’s July crop report. It show
this year’s corn crop will be the largest i
history except one and that four and pos
sibly five other crops will make new hig
records.
Corn and Wheat Increase.
The corn crop, which with favorabl
weather from now on may equal th
bumper yield of 1912, shows an increas
of 541,000,000 bushels over last yeai
with a total of 3,124,000,000 bushels. Th
total acreage is 14 per cent larger tha
last year.
The combined winter and spring whea
crop will be 38,000,000 bushels more tha
last year’s, with a total of 678,000,00
bushels.
Barley, with prospects of the third larg
| est crop ever grown, will exceed las
year’s production by 33,000,000 bushels
with an output of 214,000,000 bushels.
Oats promise to exceed last year’s cro;
by 201,000,000 bushels, the total produc
tion being forecast at 1,453,000,000 bush
els. That is slightly under the record
Improvement between now and harvest
however, may result in a record crop.
BUMPER CROP OF POTATOES.
White potato production, on a 221-:
per cent, increase in acreage, will be s
record crop with 452,000,000 bushels,, o]
167,000,000 bushels more than last year,
not taking into account the home garder
production, which this year is estimated
to be much larger than ever before.
Rye, another record crop this year will
amount to 56,100,000 bushels or 8,700,00t
bushels more than last year.
Sweet potatoes will register a new- high
total with 82,200,000 bushels, or 11,000,00C
bushels more than last year.
Rice production will be 34,400,000 bush
els, the second largest crop ever produc
ed.
Production of tobacco will break an
other record with a crop of 1,215,000,000
pounds, which is 64,000,000 pounds more
than was grown last year.
