JOHN C. HOUGHTONThe sympathy of the community

He was horn in England, but a few miles out of London. With his wife and several of his children he came to Houlton about six years ago. The family have made many friends who sympathize with them in their great loss. The oldest son was killed at the first battle of Verdun in March, 1916. The shock was a severe one to the

The commission plans and is ar­ranging as fast as possible for a larger maintenance program. The spring has opened so early and the country roads have been so bad that it is very difficult for the supervisors o fthe department to cover their towns and arrange for patrolmen. Many boards of selectmen have writ­ten to the Highway Commission com­plaining about the delay in the com­mencing of the patrol service.

In this connection it is interesting to bear in mind that last season the commission employed 480 patrolmen in caring for 4,250 miles of road In 467 cities and towns. The gross ex­penditure for this work was about $006,000 of which the State paid prac­tically two-thirds of the cost.

As Lloyd George said in his triumph­ant spooeh in the House of Commons, Bolshevism is breaking down before the economic facts of life. That is inevitable. No single class can us- trp all the rights and privileges of the community and remain in power any longer than the time necessary for the oppressed majority to gather its forces for the restoration. But

this negative phase the dispatches from abroad and from Washington carry definite assurances that the loyal Russians who are the friends of the Allies and the enemies of the Bolsheviki are to be put in the pow­erful position of being distributors of food supplies by the conquerors of Germany. These powers in other words will enforce a blocade against Bolshevik Russia.

HIGHWAY PATROLOn May 1 the State Highway De­

partment put on its patrol crews for the season and the roads will now show marked changes ar once. It is surprising how a poor highway ran be improved and be made really very passable by just the few simple touches that can be given by a patrol­man. The majority of these benefits are effected by the drag, one of the simplest of contrivances, which does nothing more than pull back into the center of the road the material which has been blown off. filling up the holes and ruts and smoothing out its surface. Other simple road remedies are to keep the gutters clean so that water may easily run off and to keep the little rocks raked up. If these few things are done it is surprising what a good highway will result.

On Thursday when the State sys­tem went into effect, several hundred patrolmen will take up their occupa tions for the summer. Some of these men will be good, others fair, and still others very bad. Some will do a lot of work quid others will see how little they can do and still hold their positions. The State Highway De­partment does not pretend that it has a perfect crew of road patrolmen but each year it is weeding out the poor ones and trying to get better ones to fill their places. This often is hard to accomplish. Some men have a knack of doing just the right thing to make a road good, others have the happy faculty of putting the material in Just the right place to do the most harm. On the whole, however, the patrol system of Maine is a splendid one and the money required to main­tain It Is exceptionally well spent.Our roads have shown a wonderful Improvement since its inauguration only a short time ago and in many cases so marked have been the bene­fits that it has been found unneces­sary to rebuild stretches and before the system was established looked hopeless. The patrolmen of Maine save the State hundreds of thousands of dollars every year by keeping hun­dreds of miles of highway from not getting any worse even if they do not make them any better.

KAISER TO BE TRIED FOR SUPREME CRIME AGAINST INTERNATIONAL MORALITY

Trial of the former German Emper­or for “a supreme offense against in­ternational morality and the sanctity of treaties” has been determined up­on by the allied and associated pow­ers. Holland will be requested to surrender him for arraignment be­fore a court composed of five judges named by the United States,Britain, France, Italy and Japan.

The state department made public last week, proposed articles for inser­tion in the peace treaty, providing for his trial and also requiring Ger- thaiay to deliver all persons within its borders charged with “having ex­ercised acts in violation of the laws and customs of war” for arraignment before military tribunals of the pow­ers whose nationals suffered through such offences.

The state department’s announce­ment was received generally with sur­prise, because it was known that {Secretary Lansing, chairman of the commission for responsibility for the war, had steadfastly opposed any at­tempt to bring the former Kaiser be­fore an International tribunal. Mr.

The ex-Kaiser would be tried by an international high court composed of live judges. The United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan would each select one judge. Other persons including Von Tirpitz, who was the leader o f the submarine cam­paign, and poesibly Hlndenburg and Uudendorff probably would be tried by military courts.

FARMERS AND MINERS SUSTAIN THE WORLDThe MINER delves into the mountain for coal, ore

and minerals to warm, to house, and to maintain the man­ufacturing establishments of the world

The FARMER breaks up the soil, cultivates it and produces the food without which humanity could not ex­ist. The farmer is therefore the most important factor in the World’s production.

George Washington said that farming is the noblest and most useful occupation of mankind. Prof. G. I. Christ­ie, formerly of Purdue University, Indiana, in a recent ad­dress stated: “At the head of all the sciences or arts, at the head of civilization and progress, stands— not Militarism, the science that kills; not Commerce, the art that accum­ulates wealth— but AGRICULTURE, the mother of all in­dustry and the maintainer of human life.’’ Agriculture stands as the basis of the prosperity of this country. The development of all other resources and the big business of our cities depends upon the foodstuffs that must come from the soil. It is therefore of utmost importance to the world that farmers shall be progressive and thereby make farm­ing profitable.

One of our statesmen predicts that if our present rate of increase in population continues we shall have one hundred and fifty million people by the year 1950. The great question in the minds of our people today is,— How are we going to feed them?

FARMING IS THE BIGGEST BUSINESS OF AMERICA, the biggest business of the earth. Without farming, the Railroads, the Banks and all business and all manufacturing industries would crumble. It will take years, possibly more than ten years for the agriculture in Europe to be restored to the condition in which it was be­fore the war. The world will look to America, the nearest and largest depot of supply for food. America must not only feed itself, it must feed Europe now and for years to come.

The ordinary successful farmer must use great care

and judgment in his occupation, and this same effort, if ap­plied to the banking or other business, would mean the ac­cumulation of large fortunes. There are compensations found in farming that do not exist in other occupations, namely: the outdoor life, the magic response of growing crops to the proper treatment of the farm and the happy contentment which comes to those who till the soil.

President Wilson states: “ IT IS NESESSARY OUR LAND SHOULD YIELD MORE PER ACRE THAN IT DOES NOW. Production per acre, with its coincident val­uation, increases in direct proportion to the plant food furnished it. We have got to increase the product at eve­ry point where it is susceptible of being increased. We have got to study how to assist nature by making the most suitable use of our several and various soils.’ ’

FERTILIZER FEEDS THE CROPS THAT FEED THE WORLD, and since the world cannot exist without food, Fertilizer has become a necessity. The use of manufactur­ed fertilizers is one of the biggest factors in the entire op­eration of the farm. Our Animal Fertilizers made from Bone, Blood, and Meat, with high-grade Chemicals, many of them containing large percentages of water soluble Potash, have established their reputation of increasing the crops and improving the soil. They are needed in a year like this, when maximum crops are essential, with the prospect of good prices for all produce at harvest time.

Farmers must keep up their good courage through these unsettled conditions and times of readjustment; they must as they always have done, put their hands to the plow, turn the furrows and plant the crops which feed the world.

Do not delay longer but order now. Use our Fertil­izer WHEN planting, and use it AFTER planting, at thefirst cultivation, to force your crops along to early matur­ity. High-grade Fertilizers and Prosperity will walk hand in hand this year, when the demand for food will be great­er than ever. Place your order NOW.

Ridge culture of the potato is uni­versally practiced in Aroostook Co. A few use a rather low broad ridge hut probably over 90 per cent of the farmers practice what might be called extreme ridge culture. The ridging begins at the time of planting. The planter most used has a plow so con­structed that it makes little more than a mark on the soil unless it is ▼ery light, instead of a furrow, the disks at the rear if the machine cover the seed by throwing up a ridge perhaps 4 Inches high so that the seed at the very start is practically •a a level with the surface between the rows. A few farmers make a practice of going over the held with a weeder and somewhat flattening the ridge but the number that do this is comparatively few. The method m ost. usually folowed is to go between the . rows with a cultivator perhaps 8 to

days after the potatoes are planted ! and then as soon as the begin to break the ground go over with the j horse-hoe and bury them up also burying the weeds at the same time i sad thereby raising the height of the | ridge. This kind of cultivation is continued until the tops are too large j to pass through without injury.

The deep planted required 4 horses instead of 2 on the digger, and a good deal of care was necessary to be sure that the digger was suffi­ciently deep in the ground to prevent cutting the tubers.

The Green Mountains averaged 360 bushels per acre for the deep plant­ed, 385 for the medium planted and 325 bushels per acre for the shallow planted high ridge.

WITH ALL OUR LIMBSWE ARE CRIPPLES

How many of us realize we are cripples? We have the usual quota of legs and arms, fingers and toes, but we’re cripples just the same. Samuel Hopkins Adams made the dis­covery while studying reconstruc­tion of maimed soldiers at Walter Reed General Hospital, Washington. Describing the incident in the Red Cross Magazine, he writes:

“ 'I suppose you regard yourself as a whole man,’ demanded one of the vocaltional therapy experts.

“Looking myself hastily over to make sure that I had not lost any­thing in the surgical ward, I replied that I could count the usual number of arms, legs and other appurten­ances.

“ ‘All right,’ said the expert, ‘but yonr’re sort of a cripple at that. Yon’re atrophied.

“ 'If I am, I’ve never discovered it,I assured him.

“Of course not. People never do until they’re shown. You haven’t got anything like the full use of more than four fingers and two thumbs out of a total of 10. The normal man— the man who believes himself normal,

mands the writer. “Go wherever children play— Osmanlis or Kurds, Armenians or Arabs. Druses or Greeks— and you will see that the sheep bone represents everything from a doll to a sword, from a Pas- cha’s horsetail-ornamented shell-tree to a British gunboat, from a mosque to a church.”

NAMED NEW ENGLANDIn 1614 He Explored Region Called

“North Virginia”

Capt. John Smith, dear to our young readers and many older ones for his romantic career, particularly for the Pocahontas episode, is gen­erally associated with Virginia, but he was also the first to discover the beauties of the south-western half of the Maine coast and the first to draw a map of it. In 1614 he explored the shores of what was then known as North Virginia, but which he called New England, a name that has stuck, as have many others given by him.

In “A Description of New England,'’ printed in London in 1616, Smith wrote: “I have seen at least 40 sever-

! the Penobscot was not only the di- j !viding line between two hostile tribes; | of Indians, but the limit of English dominions. Beyond lay the Aeadie of the French. Other lands, other lords.

The northeastern half of the Maine coast was put on the map by Champ­lain. Ten years before Smith’s voy­age he had visited Nova Scotia, dis­covered and named the St. John riv­er, and cruised as far south as the mouth of the Penobscot, which he. too, entered.

On the way he discovered “an is­land four or five leagues long * * * very high and notched in places, so that there is the appearance to one at sea, as of seven or eight mountains extending along near each other. The summit of most, of them is destitute of trees * * * I named it Isle des Monts Deserts." And Mt. Desert it has remained ever since.

I mean—never has. Can you light a safety match with one hand?”

“He handed me the box and the match. After the second abortive at­tempt the match fell on the floor and the box fell on the match.

“ ‘That’s elementary, that stunt,’ remarked the Instructor. “Our one- arms can do that before they get out of bed. You see, your two smaller fingers are really cripples. Now we teach our fellows to do the work with those fingers that you have to use another hand for. There’s the whole physical principle of our training In Its simplest form—substitution.’ ”

Without the bone of a sheep, “that eternal, ubiquitous playtoy of all the east,” the children of Asia would be absolutely without an amusement de- j ▼ice.

That is the solemn conclusion of Achmed Abdullah In “A Little Brown Girl Child” In the Red Cross Maga- zlne. Otherwise your small oriental is . not noticeably different from our own youngsters in his or her main busi­ness of life—play. He finds zest in playing “Cowboy and Indian” even though the punchers wear such, names as Mohammed or Moustaffa, and the cowgirls and squaws are the j deserted-bred hoydens, Aziza and!

General March was talking about the impressions soldiers received in the war. “One,”he said, “when I ask­ed hi mhow he felt, said he was too busy to feel, and when I asked him what appealed to him as the most re­markable thing about the war, ans- 1 wered:

Now probably none of these neces­sary things in preserving and Jn- creaaing the country’s business ever enters the thoughts of taxmakers at Washington. Their idea is to allow just enough in a business for fair sus­tenance and to fasten upon all the rest, eusdi scoop it into the public treasury.

SHORT FINGERSSPELL SUCCESS

Are your fingers long or short? A perfect hand, according to the estab­lished rule based upon the Greek sculptured ideal figure, should meas­ure seven inches from wrist to the end of the second finger.

Nevertheless according to the palm­istry experts, the palm of success goes to the short-fingered folk. They are the ones who usually are gifted with perservance, grit and inability to recognize obstacles. They are born leaders of men. They achieve literary distinction. Great singers

Scientific Taxation A tax on sales of one per cent

would raise three or four billion dol­lars every year, would be easily col­lected, and the ordinary consumer would not feel it at all, while in lar ger transactions it would weigh no more heavily than a stamp tax on documents. This, in addition to the Income tax, would raise all funds needed.

On the the other hand, the long- fingered may “point with pride” to some successes among their ranks. Persons with long fingers apparently do best either as pianists, profession­al baseball players, actors, or, occas­ionally, as writers and thinkers.

“ Well, yes,” was the answer; “you can put it that way if you like.”

“Well, all I have to say,” said the prelate, in sweet and musical tones —"all I have to say is that he has much to be thankful for.”
