the NOME TREASURY.
Paper Is Booming With Large Circulation,
Under New Management.

The Home Treasury has been pub
lished in Augusta for some years as a
monthly journal. and now, under EN-
tirely new management throughout, it
is stronger and better in every parti-
cular.
Mr.. g. F. Terry of Waterville, is the
head of the new Home Treasury Co,
and it is needless to say that he is
most successful publisher and conser-
vative business man. He believes in
the future success Of the Home Treas
ury, and is exerting every effort to
bring about such a desirable result.
Already Mr.. Terry says he has spent
more than $4,000 in advertising the pa
per, and has begun to receive an enor-
nous mail.
The paper is 16-page sheet and is
cut, pasted and folded Its tvno-
graphical appearance is all that could
be desired, while its columns are well
filed with advertising The circu,a-
l.
of over 100000 copies a month, so it is
claimed, and is constantly increasing
Mr.. Terry hopes to build up the cir
culation to very much higher num-
Der. and to that effort is sparing nei
Their time nor money in pushing it into
the homes of the people throughout the
country.
The Offices of the company are To-
Gated in the granite building over the
Augusta Savings Bank, where all
necessary facilities for publishing and
mailing the papers are to be found
Altogether the present outlook of the
paper is very encouraging to the pro-
moters, and of course the people of
Augusta will be glad to see another
big, publishing business firmly estab-
lished in this city.

These are the last days of the sun
flower. Already the hens that run over
everybody's garden in the outskirts of
the city are making wild flights to
several of the outlying farms large
crops of sunfowers have been raised for
poultry From the seeds of the sun
flower is pressed an oil, which is al
most equal to olive OIL and it is said
that the Indians once made bread OF
the seeds. We have read that the sun
iiCwer has habit of turning it's face
to the east in the morning. and of fol-
lowing the sun all day. looking toward
writes of it,
The sunllower turns on her god when he
sets
The same look which she turned when he
rose.
Eut it is now generally believed that
the blossoms donot turn on their stems.
The people of PERU. from which coun-
Try the Sun1loWer came, at one time
Worshipped the flower as the image of
the sun-god. When their religious
feasts We're held. maidcns, called the
virgins of the sun, wore on their heads
crowns of gold, made in the likeness of
these flowers. and they also carried the
same flowers of gold in their hands. We
are told that Father Jean de Bussiere
compared the sunflower to the time of
Constantine, saying that it, like the
empire which soon fell, was at first a
fine flower, but terminated in useless
wood. But uses have been found for
the sunfiOwer. as the leaves and seeds.

wood of the stalks has been used for
