Maine ALL 5UKI3 Let Your Boy Choose. If you, as the father, want your son to be a lawyer, and, on the top of that, your boy would really like to be a lawyer, that is all well and good. But if you want him to be a lawyer, and he wants to be something else—an architect, a musician, or what not, you are doing him an irre mediable injury when you insist on his studying law. You are injuring him be cause you are trying to mold his personal ity and gifts into a shape which is con trary to nature. That is, you handicap him by making him do something in which he can take no pleasure; and work that affords no pleasure is a trial which the human soul cannot withstand with out paying a big penalty. The labor of life, you must remember, is intended, not only to provide a man with the means of living, but also to sat isfy him, to make him feel contented, tc permit him to take pleasure in his hours and his days.—A. A. Brill, Ph. D., in the Mothers’ Magazine for June. The National forests this year will be open to 500,000 more sheep and nearly 250,000 more cattle than in 1017. this will bring the total of stock grazed under permit to about 0,000,000 sheep, 2,300,00( head of cattle and 51,000 swine. This in crease is in addition to one of 200,000 biieep and 100,000 cattle made last year. We get a hint of how Germany man ages to float her war loans from the fol lowing item reprinted from a recent re view of Germany’s financial condition: Among the heaviest holders of war bonds there are the girl workers in the factories. The maximum amount of the cash which is paid to each of them week ly is $1.20, regardless of the sum which is due them. The rest of their wages is de posited in a bank by the employer and goes into the next loan in her name without even the formality of asking her consent. Comment is unnecessary. More for Postal Workers. WASHINGTON, May 16. An amend ment to the Post Office Appropriation bill providing for an increase of $200 a year in the salaries of clerks, letter carriers and certain other postal employees, and increases of 20 per cent for rural mail car riers and for employees receiving less than $800 a year, was adopted late yester day by the Senate. Employees receiving between $800 and $1500 annually would be given increases of 15 per cent and the pay of substitute clerks and carriers would be fixed at forty cents an hour. This amendment, offered by Senator Bankhead, chairman of the Post Office Committee, is practically the same as the Madden-Moon bill which was adopted by the House as a separate measure, except that the amendment provides increases only for the fiscal year instead of making them permanent. Senator Bankhead es timates that about $40,000,000 will cover the increases. The Bureau of Crop Estimates makes these crop estimates in the U. S. and New England. Winter wheat, now above average in condition, promises 36 percent more than last year, and more than aver age. Rye, though under average condition, has a larger acreage, and promises much heavier production. Meadows and past ure are average condition in U. S.; above average in New England. Soldiers and Sailors Insured. Washington, May 16. The Govern ment War Risk Insurance Bureau an ' nounces that 2,029,000 soldiers and sailors are now insured fora total of $16,663,000, 000 under the Government life insurance plan. The average amount of insurance applied for is $8209; the maximum per mitted by law being $10,000. About 11,000 applications are received daily, and in the last two weeks $1,000,000,000 of in surance has been written. Since the middle of last October, said the announce ment, the bureau has written “more in surance than is on the books today of the twenty largest life insurance companies in the world combined.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years America s Fart in the War. j As a nation inclined to “brag,” it will do us no harm to occasionally see our ■ selves as others see us. In a letter to the i London Times, Mr. Sidney Low tells his ! countrymen that those who look to j ’ America to relieve them from their im- ! 1 mediate difficulties should read an ac- 1 count of the proceedings in the United ; ! States senate in recent weeks, wherein | was set forth the failure of the airplane ; and shipbuilding programs and the lack j , of facilities for making big guns. Con- i ' tinuing, Mr. Low says: “As these statements and reports have ! been widely circulated in the American | I press, I am conveying no information to ; the enemy by repeating them. But I think it desirable that they should be known and appreciated in this country, j as they can be without in the least under- | valuing the effort or the spirit of our * . friends beyond the Atlantic. We rejoice j i in the moral support and the resolution of | the American people; we hope that in the ' end their immense resources and invinci- I i ble energy may make our victory deci- | ! sive. But we should understand that for j • months to come the burden of checking I and defeating the Germans’ attack must , I continue to be borne by France and Great Britain. America may eventually “save democ racy;” but to save our own liberties and our own existence we must, for the pres ent, rely upon ourselves, our own valiant armies, our own mobilized industries, and j our own man-power exerted to the last ounce of available pressure.” j The truth is sometimes painful, but in : this case a big dose of it should have a | tonic effect. Although we had ample j warning of what to expect, America was j hardly better prepared for the contlict when war was declared something over a j year ago than she was when the Lusitania | was sunk on May 7, 1915. Some of the delay involved may have been unavoida ble, but in many instances the procrasti nation has been inexcusable. Who can doubt if we had had a fully equipped army of a million men available for ac tion on the western front when the Ger mans launched their big offensive that the enemy would now be in full retreat across the Rhine? The value to the al lies of our moral and financial support is 1 no doubt incalculable, but they are suffer- | ing now for support in the form of fully equipped fighting men. America will supply this need in time, but meanwhile the price of delay is being paid in blood. —Biddeford Journal. TRAINING FOR THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS It is inevitable that we shall have many soldiers on our hands when this war is ended who by reason of casualty will not be able to ret urn to their previ ous occupati ons. Our government will provide generously for these soldiers, but it is absolutely necessary that a way be found for them to maintain themselves ! and earn as much through their own ef- J forts as they would have earned had it 1 not been for their service for the coun- j try. The American Red Cross, with its many other activities, has taken up this branch of work and through highly trained and experienced men and women is now engaged in making plans to care for all such cases. Occupation is regarded by the medical profession as one of the greatest and best of curative agents and for this reason, if for no other, this work of the Red Cross is looked upon by those who know some i thing about the subject as highly impor ! tant. Many soldiers Will inevitably re | turn to their homes with the loss of their i eyesight. Of all the casualties these will i be the most to be pitied and requiring the ' most attention. They will be taught to do many things to take up their atten ! tion and to add to their income. There 1 has been wonderful progress made in teaching the blind useful occupations in j the last decade and the experts in this line of work will be made use of to assist ! in such cases. Many who have lost an lym or a leg, which would unfit them to do the things they were doing when the war came, will be taught useful trades and there are so many of these tradeB that when the work is systematised and properly carried on there will be no re^ son why a man who has been crippled in' such a way may not find an opportunity to make himself a most useful and suc cessful member of society. When the American Red Cross appeals to the country for financial aid it should be recalled that this is one of the splen . did things it is doing.—Portland Press. Boys Working Reserve. Applications have been recei ved at th< headquarters of the Maine Division oi the United States Boys’ Working Re serve, from more than 150 men wi > v i il to help in the raising of war tin.- < -ous by acting as captains in the army o. uie boy volunteers. To many of these men participation in the wo rk will mean finan cial sacrifice; they are actuated by a de sire to do something toward winning the war. The captain who goes into the held with a squad of boys fills a responsible position. He is comrade, adviser and business agent for his young charges and, at the same time, he is the farmer’s friend, because it is a part of his duty to see that the farmer as well as the boy gets a square dead. Some of the men who have this year applied for positions as captains served in the same capacity under the Junior Volunteer organization last year. Many of the applicants are college professors and school teachers. The captains who are selected to serve in this years’ campaign will begin work at the training camp in Winthrop. There they will meet the members of their com panies and take part in the preliminary instruction given them- Then comes the departure of the companies. When a request is received from the farmers of a neighborhood for ten or more boys, a company goes out in answer to the call. After their arrival at the scene of their labor, the captain visits the different em ployers and sees that the boy on each farm is living under suitable conditions. The captain arranges with the farmer the amount of pay the boy is to receive, which in no case must be less than SI a day. It is also part of the captain’s duty to see that the boy is paid weekly and that the records of the payments are properly kept and the required receipts are made out. During the season he keeps constantly in touch with the farm ers and the boys, making daily trips ol inspection from farm to farm. An important feature of the captain’s work is that of looking after the health of the boys. If one of his charges is il he arranges for medical attendance. Should a boy suffer an attack of appen dicitis, for example, the captain woulc see that no time was lost in getting ths patient to a hospital. The boy’s parents would be notified and their wishes follow ed in making arrangements for the treat ment of the case. One of the Junioi Volunteers last year was successfully operated upon for appendicitis. But whils the care of the health of the boys is £ part of the captain’s work, the experi ence of last year showed that there is little likelihood of any' considerable amount of illness among them. As e rule, the boys gain in health and strength. While a captain may be sent out from Winthrop with only ten or a dozen boys in his company, he will have more than that number before the season is over. The arrival of a company of boys in a neighborhood is almost invariably follow ed by requests for more. Last year one captain had 75 boys under his charge at the same time. He journeyed in an auto mobile from farm to farm and at the end of the season brought home his charges happy and healthy and left behind a group of farmers who were loud in theii praises of their boy help. Our Day of Prayer. Memorial Day began as a solemn recog nition of the sacrifice of our dead in the Civil War and in its early ceremonies had the sacredness of funeral rites. As the sacrifices of that war have receded into history and the years have dimmed its memories the day has been more and more given over to sports, with a mili tary parade in the morning as a reminder of its original significance. This year President Wilson seeks to re store to the day for once something of its original solemnity by selecting it for that day of humiliation, fasting and prayer which the Congress has requested him to appoint. The selection is admirable and the suggestion in the proclamation of the character of the prayers appropriate for the day could not be improved upon; the victory of our armies as they tight for freedom, wisdom for those who guide the affairs of the nation in war and “stead fastness of the people to make sacrifice to the utmost for what is just and true.” Under this proclamation there will be added to all other observances of ‘.he day, naturally taking precedence of them be cause of the nation’s need, services of prayer in the churches of all faiths. Ar rangements for these services have not yet been perfected. They will naturally be made after consultations with the Grand Army committees having in charge the customary memorial observances of the day, so that its old and its new uses may clash as little as possible. But the spirit of the President’s proclamation will not be carried out unless the services of prayer are given precedence in the public and private plans for the day. The religious services need not prevent the outdoor recreation usually sought on that day. But a day of prayer would not be entitled to respect which found the churches empty and the ball parks and the automobile highways filled. The day is long enough for both consecration and recreation. The two uses of it need not be antagonistic save for those who choose to make them so by ignoring the Presi dent’s call. Happily the proclamation falls in with tne serious spirit wmcn tne war ana its sacrifices have created. People who send their sons to the front fee) the impulse to pray for their safety as they may never have felt it in times of peace. The call for men has reached so far that we are becoming not merely one people but one family in our attitude toward the men in the war. If our own sons are not in service the boy up the street, to whom we used to say good morning on his way to work, is wearing khaki or the navy blue and the call is that we take an hour from our holiday to pray hat he may not tlinch under fire and that, if that be possible, he may be safely retuined to those whom he has gone out to shield. Because that aspect of the matter touches most of us so closely it is hardly possible that the President’s proclamation shall fail to meet a general and impressive re sponse.—Brooklyn Eagle. Presque Isle Selected for Site of State Hos pital.

While the Pine Tree State is not by any means the lowest State in the coun try in the race to sell Uncle Sam’s “baby bonds,” yet Maine has still $14,000,000 worth of War Stamps to sell before the State attains its quota, which must be reached by January 1, 1919. The War Savings workers are now aiming at a new quota. When the cam paign opened in December the national committee assigned Maine $15,000,000 as a quota. This was based on the 1910 census. On the latest estimate of the State’s population, which is 784,000, the quota to be attained by the sale of War Stamps is boosted over $600,000. Up to j date a million and a half dollars’ worth of stamps has been sold in Maine. Based on the former quota Maine folk would have had to average $19.13 to a person for the year, the new quota raises this per capita to $20, or within a few cents of that figure. One of the features of the new in j tensive drive planned by the county di rectors will be a competitive system among the agents. Nearly 4000 agencies have been named by Director Brown in Maine, and it is felt that these agents have not been pushing the stamps in many cases. After this every agent will be assigned a quota and will compete with others in his class. If he lags in the patriotic work another agent will get the job, which while not remunerative is a clean cut test of the agent’s patriotism. ne-Man Tanks in France. “Mosquito” tanks, which essentially are diminutive replicas of the powerful armored land dreadnaughts used with great effect by the British on the western front, represent the latest type of fight ing machine that has been developed. These one-man devices, illustrated in the June Popular Mechanics Magazine, mount three guns, and the controls are so ar ranged that the driver can pilot the ma chine and keep the guns busy at the same j j time.

Beverly, Maes., May M, MIR New Road-Making Machine. A new road-making machine com bines the functions of a scarifier and a grader, making it possible to break up old and rotten mac.adam, or gravel, and level it off for the roller, in one operation. The scarifier, or rooter, is held in place just back of the front wheels by a diago nal arm and is provided with five teeth, set staggered, 10 in. apart, their ends be ing bent forward so that they easily enter and remain in the ground. It is illus trated in the June Popular Mechanics Magazine. Dr. G. M. Twitchell writes: As though the war was not bad enough when back ed by labor and trade complications, now comes the certainty of great injury to fruit trees by winter killing. As days pass, the certainty of promise of a good crop of fruit fades away, and the outlook today is by no means flattering. Those who have borrowed trouble about dispos ing of the coming crop, can rest easy, for we shall not be burdened. Parties who have carefully gathered scions of differ ent varieties for grafting, tell me that they prove to have been winter-killed, indi cating that many varieties have suffered. For the first time in ten years, I iind, on high, dry land, that apple, peach, plum and quince trees have winter-killed, while the unevenness shown by older trees in starting tells of the effect of the long and extremely cold winter. If other manufacturers have their troubles, the farmer surely has his this year. The threatened loss to our fruit industry will be a serious blow to the growers.—Maine Farmer.
