AMERICAN BOYS BEST
BOMB THROWERS
Washington, Sept. 13.—Don't
take your boy behind the wood
shed if he throws a baseball
through the window, but encour
age him in his efforts to learn to
throw,” said an officer of the
United States Marine Corps to
day. “Americans would be the
best bomb and hand grenade
throwers in the world, and there
fore the best fitted to fight under
modern conditions, such as those
in Europe today.
“The average American vouth
early learns to throw a baseball
accurately and with speed, and
thta is the reason we are as a na
tion especially fitted for trench
warfare. Basebal lis encouraged
in the Marine Corps, and the skill
displayed by marines—even un
trained recruits—in the bomb and
hand grenade drill is nothing
short of remarkable.”

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
IS 13,000 IN MAINE
Largest Vote in History of the
State Polled at State
Election
Portland, Me., Sept. 12.—The
largest vote in the history of
Maine was cast at the state elec
tion yesterday. The total vote
will approximate 150,000. These
figures have not been approached
since 1880, the year the Democrat
and Greenback parties fused,
when the total was 147802, In
the last presidential year and two
vears ago it fell below 142,000.
The receipt today of the vote
irom the border and a few isolat
ed towns increase the plurality of
Carl E. Milliken, Republican, for
governor over Governor Qakley
(. Curtis, Démocrat, from the in
dicated figures of 13,000 last
night, to 13,800, Indicated plural
ities for the other Republican
candidates were confirmed by a
revision of the vote. The Repub
licans wil lhave solid delegations
in both branches of congress and
will easily control both houses of
the legislature.
SEPTEMBER
I have not been among the woods,
Nor seen the milk-weeds burst
their hoods,
The downy thistle-sceds taking
wing,
Nor the squirrel at his garnering.
And yet 1 know that, up to God,
The mute month holds her gold
enrod,
That clump and corpse, o’errun
with vines,
Twinkle and clustered musca
dines,
And in desterted churchyard
places
Dwarf apples smile with sun
burnt faces.
[ know how, ere her green is shed,
The dogwood pranks herself with
red.
e TR T R R
How the pale dawn, chilled
and through
Comes drenched and draggled
with her dew;
How all day long the sunlight
seems
As if it lit a land of dreams,
Till evening, with her mist and
cloud,
Begins to weave her royal shroud.,
If vet, as in old Homer's land,
God walks with mortals, hand in
hand,
e
Somewhere today, in this sweet
weather,
Thinkest thou not they walk to
gether?
—John Charles Mc¢Neill,
GREECE'S ENTRY IS
COMING IN TEN DAYS
Athens, Sept. 12.—“1f the en
tente ang anti-Venizelist facticns
can only keep quiet for ten days
and not embroil the situation,
Girecce’s entry into the war will
be a settled fact,” said a promi
nent Greek cfficial to the Associ
ated Press today. “If not,” he
said, “it is the end of Greece.”
Kiag Constantine and Premier
Zamis conferred at length today.
On the whole the situation with
regurd to Greece's entry into the
war on the side of the entente
scems very favorable, notwith
tsanding the arrest last Sunday
and Monday by Anglo-French se
cret police by German and Aus
trian agents, against which Pre
micr Zamis vigorously protested
and despite complicity by the
French in the disaifection of the
cleventh Greek division at Saloni
ki, which profoundly shocked the
Greek public and seriously en
dangered the success of the nego
tiations then in progress. The
mere suggestion of the possibility
of Ning Constantine command
ing the allied armies in Macedo
nia, however, scems to over-ride
every hesitation.

WOOD’S VISIT TO
HOLD THE TROOPS
Macon, Ga., September 12—
That the Georgia troops will be
detained at Camp Harris for at
least two weeks before they are
told whether they are going to
the border or not is now consid
ered a certainty because of the
announced visit of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood, former chief ofl
staff, United States army, and
now in command of the depart-l
ment of the east with headquar
ters at Gevernor’s Island, N. Y. 1
According to advices received |
vesterday morning by Adjt. Gen.
Van Holt Nash in a letter from
the department of the east, the
time that Maj. Gen. Wood will
visit the camp at Macon is not
made known, but simply men
tions the fact that'the general will
visit here “in connection with the
inspection of the militia camps in
the South.”
To Leave After Wood’s Visit _
It is generally believed by the
officials at Camp Harris that the
visit of Maj. Gen. Wood will pre
cede the movement of the Georgia
troops to the Mexican border on-
Iy a short while. Since the long
ten-day inspection by Inspector
General T. Q. Donaldson, it has
been thought by many at the
camp that as soon as Col. Donald
son’s report went into the depart
ment headquarters that notice
would be sent for the troops.to
entrain for the border.
The contemplated visit of Maj.
Gen. Wood adds more strength
to the report that the troops
would soon move to the border
to take the place of many of those
ordered to leave for their respec
tive camps where they have been
ordered demobilized. It is the
belief of those close to military
affairs in the state that the re
maining units in mobilization
camps will be given their turn
and that the general movement to |
the border will be in command as
soon as the inspection tour of
Gen. Wood is completed. .
It has even been hinted at
Camp Harris that each unit as
soon as inspected, will be ordered
‘o the border and that service to
be seen By those yet to go will be
six months, at least, as against
but two or three months' service
ziven the units that were first to
go.
BACHELOR’S PARADISE
Free as the birds, and a lucky old
boy! ;
FHandsome and rich, and a foun
tain of joy,
Sugar and lots of spice!
Who could resist if the gods
should decree
Something as . jolly for you and
for me—
A batchelor’s paradise.
® WM e e wggfi{:“
Nothing to fret or to worry
about;
Cash coming in and not much go
ing out;
Always enough and to spare!
No one at home to know how it
was spent,
No little rowdy to beg for a cent,
And nobody bothers to care!
Nothing to do at the close of day,
Nobody asks him to hurry away,
Home to the same old shack!
No little sleep-heads watching the
gate,
Nobody wonders what keeps him
so late,
Or cares if he never comes
back!
Matrons and maids are waiting
his smile,
Sparkle, and music, and dance to
beguile,
[-verybody natty and trim!
No little tousle-heads cuddle
down tight,
No little woman to whisper
“goodnight”—
Nothing like that for him!
Nothing to trouble him all the
night long,
Monarch of all! And his life like
a song,
Ilasy, and cozy and nice!
No little bear-hug, and no morn
ing kiss,
No little nuisance and no little
bliss,
Not in his paradise!

TWO KILLED IN CRASH
. IN NEW YORK STRIKE
Rioting Marks Night, Shots Are
Fired and Several Arrested
New York, Sept. 12—The first
serious accident of the street rail
way strike occurred early today
when a trolley car oi the Union
Railway company in the Bronx
operated by a “green” moterman
got beyond control on a steep
grade and jumping the track at
a curve, crashed into two jitney
busses, killing two persons and
severcly injuring thirteen others.
Four of the injured may die. The
car crew was arrested.
After a night of intermittent
iotingr, motormen on the Sixth
and Ninth avenue elevated roads
reported to the police that they
had been fired upon by strikers
from roof tops. Third avenue el
evated trains were repeatedly
bombarded with bricks and stones
from buildings. One passenger,
a woman, was struck on the head
and seriously injured. Five ar
rests were made.
The congest'on on the subways
and elevated roads today was
even more pronounced than yes
terday, due to the fact that there
was little or no service on the
surface lines of Manhattan and
the Bronx.

Flour cost, the price of Nu Do

cents, commencing on ’l‘hursday.‘
We are further advised that the

to leave the size and quality the

Your creamery will pay you from $6OO 5 $7OO a ton for butterfat. You
would not knowingly feed this valuable product to the pigs. Corn meal at $3O
to $4O a ton will answer that parpcse quite as well, Yet thousands of well
meaning farmers are doing this very thing,
Every old-style separator has constant faed but a changing speed. Whenevar the speed
falls, the milk supply becomes too great for the reduced separating force. Thus a Ict of butter
fat escapes into the skim milk—goes to the pigs.
Experts estimate the an;mal lo_ss of cream in this way at from $2.40 to $l2 for each cow in
the herd. You can turn this loss into a new profit which we cail “velvat” by using ,
