The Boston and Maine Rallroad'Co. , several day.«! ago, issued bulletins which contained a list of various trains w-hich would be discontinued be-i^injiing June 25. These trains a re from different divisions and among them are ceriain t rains of the Fi tch­burg. and Worcester , Xashua and

The changes on the Stony Brook branch are such that under the pro­posed change in schedule there will be but two t ra ins daily in ei ther direction, the trains leaving Ayer for Lowell at S.12 .t. m., n iaking all local stons. and

to be reduced to 1 < 5. Also, whfereas' the road desired to use the raen-'-now in the passenger service for freight ervice. that it had been intimated to

it is undoubtedly the opinion nf a £,'ro.')t many jieople that in these Timos nf 1 rouble, why look for more, but it is alw.Tys well to find out just whnt p'^uplo want befnre forcint: something upnu them and ; mce the announce­ment by the Hostun and Maine Rail-rf .ad 'Nimpany of the curtai lment in tho number of passenger trains, T havo b'-ard several people say that ' he pub­lio wnuld not stand fnr it. It might b,. well to ask here "Who is the pub-la '."• .-ind answer it "It is the entire rnnimunit>'. includinc: " yourself and ui\solf." and as a gonoral proposition the jMiblic doosn'i stand for things. Thfy simply lie down and go lo sleep ral her than m a k e an energetic movo rnward- refusing to stand for somo-tlr.n^' and mako an effort to prevent. nr remedy a treatonod infringement "f Ihoir rights and privileges.

At the prosont t ime, the question of curLailmenl tihnuIA bA sftrlously con-.sidorrd. Thorp Is no man huf. who wishes to do his littlo bit toward the successful promotio.i of our country 's end in the prosont war and to m a k e sacrifices, if need bo. to at ta in tha t end. but when we nro faced with a proposition such ns is tho subject of this articlo. lieforo submit t ing quietly wo should seek an a r rangement with tho r.allroad rompany which would be satisfnctory to the towns affected by the curtai lment .

It wa..< the wri ter 's pleasure, this wook. tu at tend tho mooting cnllod by tho Massachusetts'IMibUc Service f 'om-mission. tu hear the bonds of tho vnrl-oils ruads tcl! the whys nnd whoroforos of the curtai lment 1-afk of space for­bids mv g*iing into tho mat te r in great detail, but the reasons ndvnncod did ntd Appear tu .«atisfy the oommlpslon that there shuuUI be any great curtai l -

the .commls.siuh m a t a50Ut 44 M'Ake men had been dismissed from service on the I*ortland division recently and Supt. Rourke of tha t division was un­able to furnish exact- Information on this point and, in addition, that 15 en­gineers had been demoted to f i r emen ;n t h c i a s f f e w w e e k i f ' u n the Southorn"' division. Fur the rmore , the agreement between the railroad company and the brakemen was such tha t the passen­ger brakemen released hy the reduc­tion in service in tha t branch could not retain their, rating- in thc^freight service, but must take their places at the foot of the freight list and this, in­deed, would i)rove a hardship to them for while enjoying a ra t ing of several years in that branch to be suddenly Inlerjected into the freight service and-lake their places at the foot of the list would be an injustice.

Along with the prospect of an acuto fuel situation in the fall, in fairness to the Boston and Maine railroad, it should be stated tha t where they gen­erally are covered with contracts, they must go into the open market in Sep­tember and compete with the other loads and individuals for their supply. As it takes 450'pounds of coal-ttn^ hour to keep an engine under steam on a siding, the number of set-offs for pas­senger trains is of interes t -when it is found that in the seven days ending

that not only must freight be moved but the human brains of all the In­dustr ies must be catered to and t h o ' greates t results gotten therefrom. . --

It would seom that not only do changes affect the daily travelers, but ha t - t^ey—woul^a lco afTeet tho m e r

chant, t he buslngss man and any a n d -all persons who rely to an extent upon steam railroad transportat ion.

L was ta lking on Monday with Mr. Burt , head of the p a s s e n ^ r service of the railroad, nnf ^^ >'*'° "'pr^flod his willingness to take up the' mat te r of re-adjustment of schedule with a com­mit tee of persons of Ayer and sur­rounding towns at a date in the near future mutual ly , agreeable to us and I should be pleased to receive any sug­gestions frbm the people, of Ayer and the sur rounding towns a s to their views.

There is a great necessity for im­mediate action. The date set for cur­tai lment is but a little over two weeks away. Whatever is to be done"shoul4 bo di>ne bofore t-hat-time. It is mucn easier to prevent the happening of something than it is to remedy and amend, after the deed is done. It is an occasion for the exercise of a little rational patriotism by the public and

-the reaching of an understantl ing be­tween the public and railroad company as to how the service shall be curtailed and thc duration of the same.

May 30. tho number oT freiKht tralii.^ £.£UiDg off for Nc. .11 ( the theat re t rain) was 39 and this setting off caused delays of 45 hours and -15 min­utes m that period. When one con­siders tliat the freiglir"l}lisln"ess'In the year 1916 -was greater than any previ­ous year in tho history of the road, and is slill continuing in 1917, this is not to be wondered at and may be consid­ered a very good a rgument for addi ­tional t rackage on the main line of this division.

The Fi tchbnrg division of tho Bos­ton and Maine railroad has 10',> of tho mileage of the system and carries 4 0 ' ; of the freight t ransported Over tbe lines of thf system. The doliveries 'if the Delaware and Hudson railroad

rank tirst and second in order of num­ber nf vnrs delivered to this system an*! while the Kilchburg division is almost always clogged T^'ith cars, the South-c m and T'ortlaiKi divisions are never rongostod,

This bointiT ' u, it presents a question In our minds <if the necessity fif re­duction uf the number of ]ia.«penger trains up"n this division. Yet. I may add this feature, will wo over got our trains back'.' What servico wull wo have whon the war is ovor? The com­pany have always dosirod that tho pas­senger service on this division shotild bo negligible and are the war an<l the necessities theroof the rea.'«on for cur­tailment or merely the occasion of it?

The coming of tho militnry camp at Ayer Is going to produce anothor seri­ous t ransporta t ion question.

The enrly morning t ra ins from Ayer nnd sur rounding towns to Boston and lale afternoon trains re turn ing a re al-way.H well filled and by far the great majorfly of the passengers on thoae trains arc porsons of both sexes who are engnged in husIncRS or professtonc Jn Boston. Tho rur tn l lmont in sor\'ice is going to nfTcct thom seriously. Every nddod S'top TO rt train, each mlnvite add­ed to the running t ime of a trnin. the crowding nf cars, tho wait hetween trains, seriously impair a-nd nffect the offlcioncy nf the indlvidunl. It IR quite a ride from Boston to Ayor and tho other towns. It Is well to con.sider

Upon the. use of

Formalcictiydc Everyone is especially in­

terested irrthe"comrrig^tato~ crop. More potatoes will be planted this spring than ever before. But, many growers will be digging "scabby" po­tatoes next fall if they do not use proper precautions this spring.

The best method for pre­vention of "scab" on pota­toes is immersing the seed potatoes- in a weak solution of Formaldehdye.

The directions are—Mix 1 pint of. strong Formaldehyde with. 30 gallons' of water. Immerse pota^ toes in this solution for 2 hours. Remove potatoes, dry and platit^

It Is not expected that It will be 100% suc­cessful. In some places the scale of payment Is more tban the farmer can afford to pay, and in others there IS skepticism as to tiie value oriBTs" boy labori -

Broadly speaking, • however, there Is a disposition to try it. Farmers desiring the services ot bby^ should-

After the seeds have sprouted or after the plants have been set ID their permanent location, continued cultivation becomes necessary! The gardener should never permit the surface of the soil to become baked or even to form an appreciable, crust.

FARMERS CAN DEFKAT U-BOATS.

The following letter issued by the British Premier, David Lloyd George, while addressed to the people ot Eng­land, conveys advice distinctly applica­ble to the United Slates which should be heeded by every one who can do anything to produce food or save food trom waste.

We have now reached a crisis in the war when, to ensure victory, the hero-Ism of our armies at the front must be backed by the self-sacrifice and tire­less labor of every one at home. To this end the production of each quart of wheat and oats, and of each bushel of potatoes is of vital importance- The work of the next few weeks must de­cide the harvest of the year; .ILJ In the nation's Interest I urge y,nu, at whatever personal sacrlflce, to over­come all obstacles, to throw your full­est energies Into the work, and to in­fluence and encourage all who ,nssist you, so that every poss:hIe acre shall be sown.

The Imperative demanda of w-ir have made It impossible to avoid call­ing up men flt for active service, even though skilled In farming. As far as possible this Is being met by bringing on the land men and women from oth­er Industries, Thcy cannot be expect-ed to do work equal to that of men ox-pert In agriculture; but there ia not

ABANDON FOOD PREJU­DICES.

Don't be flnicky. Be willing to try new foods. Certain plentiful and nour­ishing foods widely used and enjoyed In one section arc practically unknown in other sections of the oountry, Leam to know AlJLthe g66)J thliigs; not a few only. People too' easily get Into food ruts and insist on eating only the food they are used to and refuse to give a fair trial to others. This causes undue demand for certain staples, with resulting scarcity or high prices when crops are short. At the same time other valuable foods may be relatively choap and avallable,

A striking Instance ot this Is fail-are fully to appreciate ripe, a valuable source ot starch, when potatoes are scarce and high. Another example is refusal In certain sections to use any­thing but wheat as a brcadstult when com, a valuable cereal widely used elsewhere aa a breadstuff. Is plentiful and relatively cheap.
