JAPAN'S AJRMY IN THE FIELD PROVES THE EARNEST- NESS OF HER SECRET PURPOSE. The American, -war commission to Russia brought bacgfc one important piece of information not generally known. It learned from reliable sources that Japan has a n army of 2,000,000 seasoned fighters already deployed along lines of communication contig- uous \to the Russian frontiers and ready for active service the moment . th e word is given. Certain diplomatic \adjustments\ are the price of service! Japan, npt depending upon th e example of bar- ter furnished by smaller nations to teach Iter national thrift, and having a definite idea of her desires and a full knowledge of how valuable her -war power is, has no intention of fooling away her tremendous advan- tage under any idea of philanthropic service. She is ready to help crush Ger- many, but she has her price. Possibly one part of It i s free reign in China. Likely another essential feature is full recognition, by Britain and th e United States of racial equal- ity—<the extension of citizenship rights to the Japanese. Japan's only contestant to complete mastery of the Pacific at this time is the United States. How cherished is our national friendship toward the Celestial, and how deeply do we feel toward maintaining th e \open floor\ in that new republic? It may be that Japan is here £01' either \a fight or a frolic,\ but 11 is- contrary to her conception of states- oraft to display any such intent. Does she hold the wanning hand*? Has- th e time she .has fondly hoped for in secret finally/been presented to her/by the rapacity' of the German war machine? '••••*':;* k Japanese army 2,000,000 thor- ough tly seasoned'.-saldters already mo Tbolized is an element to b e reckoned with. And because it i s at present on the Russian border does not neces- sarily mean that iit ha s to remain there or ait home, for that matter. It begins to look as ilf Japan can \prove the -worth of her assistance. Waterlown Cily Market FARMERS' PRICES TO DEALERS. CORRECTED WEEKLY. Butter.

Department of Agriculture). Washington, Aug. 17.—The regi- ment of lumbermen, officially known •as the 10t h Engineers (Fprest) and nicknamed the \lumberjack regi- ment,' ha s been recruited to full strength, and the Forest Service, which has been securing the men, has been notified toy the War Depart- ment to list no more candidates for service with this regiment. In antic- ipation, however, of a possible call soon for another regiment of the same character th elisting officers all over the country have been instruct- ed to continue listing names of suit- able men who may be summoned when needed. The \lumberjack regiment\ is not a fighting force but svill be employed in woods operations in France, get- ting out material for army use. The recruits are now being assembled in Washington, where they are drilled daily by the officers assigned to com- mand them. Colonol \Woodruff of the regular army, who will head th e regiment, is in charge and with the •assistance of a staff made up of prac- tical lumbermen and foresters is providing an equipment of the most up-to-date character for the type of -woods operations called for, in the list of the- experience of the Allies. The regiment will take with it both stationary and portable sawmills •with everything necessary fo r logging and sawmill work and for transport- ing th e product.

As they -were proceeding i n their automobile ensiward about two miles this side of Rossie a black hear weighing' about 500 pounds sprang out of the dense shrubbery near th e roadside ancl started across the road in th e path of th e car. When the ani anal gained th e middle of the road it stopped. Plielman, who was driving, made the ca r swerve to the left as he saw the bear. The car shot to one side bill did not. escape striking- the ani- mal. In the collision that resulted , one of the fenders of th e ca r was torn off. The bear was bowled over on it s side. - Phelrmm put on full power and drove full speed ahead. The animal gained its feet and pursued the flee- ing ea r for some distance. There are many bears in the vicinity of Rossie. (\loverlSeral 12.0T, Alt Ifa Clover 13.50 S«eel Clover 15.00 Timothy — 3.00 Coal, Cok and Wood.

The first pay- ment under th e auspices of this com- pany was made Tuesday. Under the Ullman & Hank opera- tion payments were made but once a month, but the Bordens will pa y every 35 days, which is more satis- factory to the farmers. m- LOCAL DEMOCRATIC GOSSIP —: ; By Eugene F. Idvermore ro , ' , , — Tin! eyes of all'-of his 'ciopstituents are on Senator Elon Tt.- Brown, He has appeared before th e AVat-ertowii Produce Exchange and has told that body of nien that when th e vote came on the food and market- bill that h e would be found lined up on the side of the prochicer, He has stood firm yet, apparently, despite reports t o the effect that he had surrendered to Governor Whitman and his scheme. The, governor vetoed a food an d market bill last year because it did not have teeth' enotigh. It did not limit .the sale of farm produce, par- ticularly milk, to suit the governor's notions. . The pet bill of the governor would make Georg-e W. Perkins of New York head of the food and market commission. Perkins, wh o is of harvester trust .fame, was here last winter and addressed a meeting of the cheese, men, Holstein cattle breed- ers and others, and h e heard what men here had to say. He learned a lot about, the production and sale of milk that h e did not know before. Brown, like many other men in the legislature does not believe that Per- kins is the proper man to have tft the head of that comimlssion and th e farmers up here are probably of the same mind. They ar e inclined to think that the farmers would no t get all that they ar e entitled to for their produce. The bill i s up in th e air an d it may be unless the governor submits t o the demand that Perkins shall not b e named. An d then there is th e re - port that this is a part of th e pro- gram to forestall th e appointment of Perkins in order to kill the- propsed legislation. \Whitman wants him, i n facts demands him, for head of th e commission, and the legislators ma y use this as the ground for refusing to pass the food and market bill, al- though there is no doubt more im- portant reasons. Brown has made a promise to the farmers and dairy- men, an d he. must show his hand be- fore another election, either now o r at the next session. Me told the cheese board that he -wante-'l their support, and realized that if he did not stand by them that they would not stand by him. * * * The. Democrats have decided on a ticket for this fall for th e county an d it's a mighty respectable ticket, too. Manford ]j. Burnham will be the can- didate for member of assembly. Mr. Burnham is a resident of the village of Henderson and there he conducts undertaking parlors and a barber shop. Mr. Burnham has always lived in that vicinity and he has a host of friends. \Chub as Mr. Burnham is best known among his frends, ought to make an excellent run and he would make a good legislator, too\. Newton S. Beebee of Evans Mills is the candidate for sheriff. \Newt\ would make an excellent sheriff and would g-ive all of his time t o th e office if elected. He is fearless and would show n o favoritism to anyone. He i s not a politician and does not know the game of polities. He has never held office and the nomination will not come t o hi m through his seeking-. The Republicans have some scrap on in their ranks and stranger things have happened than t o see Mr. Bee- bee elected. A lot worse could be done, that is certain. \Uncle Ed\ Nichols and \Ed \ Tall- man are out t o beat the Republican organization with \Lew\ Butterfield for sheriff. Mr. Nichols tried it three years a<ro with the same man and then he was third. It took some money to keep in the race, but Mr. Butle.rfleld remained to the finish. Then Mr. Butterfield did no t have Mr. Talhnun with him, but this year he has and the Orleans politician never worked harder in his life than he i s working now. It cuts n o figure with him because \lioss\ Gates, formerly of Orleans, who was fo r years a lieu- tenant of his , is a candidate. H e knows that (tales can not win and h e wauls to beat the organization and \Mike\ (lleason, the organization candidate, regardless of what it costs, lie i s working night and day. A your ago Air. Tallmnn got into tie light fo r district attorney and he wa s responsible fo r the defeat of Fred I-l. Moore, the organization candidate. Tallnuvn was for Clarence L. Crabb •first, but when he saw that Crabb's chances were futile then he backed Jerome B'. Cooper to a finish, doing a lot of work in Orleans, Clayton, Cape Vincent and Philadelphia, surprising. Frank Lowe, \Cap\ Bees, John Kil- born and many others who thought that in their towns Mr. Moore had a walkaway. The organization wants to keep its eyes on'both Mr. Taliman and \Uncle JSd.\ Mr. Nichols is spend- ing his leisure time at his cottage down on. Point Salubrious, but Mr. Gleasori and his friends should not forg-et that i n th e past when he has. 'been down and a friend of his has been running- for office, that he -has, been bnsy. * * * t The time ha s come to make nomi- nations for town officers. The Demo- crats should see t o it that th e strong- est men in the towns who can be in- duced to run are nominated. The ticket, should be made as strong- as possible from to p t o bottom. Every good man adds strength and ev»ry poor man put on takes just so much awn-y. There ar e several towns in which Republicans are in control which ought t o be wrested from them this year by th e Democrats. The only way t o do i s to name the best possible me n t o fill the offices. Independent votes ma y be necessary and independent voters are th e ones (who vote for th e best men. TWO GRANARIES, GARAGE AND AUTO DESTROYED BY FIRE Barns on Farm West of Theresa Saved by Fitemeii From Village. Theresa, Aug. 17.—Fire of an un- known origin destroyed two gran- aries, a garage and a five-passenger automobile Tuesday on th e property of Melvin Tim-merman, three miles west of this village on th e Lafarge- ville roach The fire was discovered by Mr. Timmerman, who was awak- ened by the light from th e burning buildings. The loss is placed at .$3,- 000 by Mr, Timmerman and there is no insurance. The Theresa Fire Department was called by telephone and responded within thirty minutes after the fire bell rang. Fully one hundred men from Theresa and th e surrounding country were at the scene of the fire. The large farm barns, located about eighteen feet away, in which was stored th e season's out of hay, caught fire several times, but the flames wore extinguished. But for the timely arrival of firemen, all the farm buildings would have been de- stroyed. It is believed that someone sleeping in- th e second story of the garage unknown to the owner was the cause of the fire.
