THEIR GOLDEN ANNIVER-
SARY.
An Aged Couple Celebrate SOth Anni-
versary OF Marriage at Falmouth.

On Thursday, at their home in Fall
mouth, Mr. and Mrs. Laust G. Miller
celebrated the Both anniversary Of their
marriage. The occasion was made a
most enjoyable one and on this day the
aged couple had about them their child
rem and grand children. Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller were married June. 14th, 1850. in
Schleswig, Germany, where they lived
until 1870, at which time they embarked
for America. They first lived for some
years at Portland, and later moved out
to Falmouth, where they had purchased
farm ON which they have resided ever
since. Nine children were born to them
and six Of these are living. The eldest
daughter is Mrs. H. p. Hanson, who
resides at 46 Forest avenue. The next
child, son, c. Miller, lives on farm
adjoining his parents. Another daugh-
ter, Mrs. A. p. Anderson, lives short
distance from her old home, and still an
other daughter, Mrs. Martin Iverson,
resides at Falmouth Foreside. The
youngest son, Lawrence Miller, resides on
Ocean street, and the youngest daughter,
Mrs. Mp. Schmedegard, lives in Boston.
On Thursday all of these children to-
gether with their sixteen grandchildren
and fourgreat grandchildren, were pre-
sent with the aged couple.
Dinner was served at 1890 o'clock, the
Rev. Mr.. Hanson of Roxbury, Mass,
Offering prayer, and the Rev. p. Thoreby
of Falmouth, speaking few words of
congratulation and cheer to the aged peo-
ple Mr.. N. p. Schmedegaard of Boston
gave a brief sketch of the life Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller. In the afternoon hosts of
friends from Portland and Falmouth
came to greet Mr.. and Mrs. Miller,
bringing with them many valuable pres
ents. At 3. 80 O'Clock refreshments were
served. 1t was most enjoyable occasion
for Mr.. and Mrs. Miller, whose friends
wish them many happy returns of their
marriage anniversary.

A NOTABLE ENTERPRISE.
There has recently been undertaken in
Maine an enterprise, which, II Its pro-
posed objects are successfully carried out,
will prove of great benefit to the consum-
ers of dairy products, and to the farming
interests Of the State. This enterprise
has thus far been conducted so quietly as
to attract little attention; but 1t has al
ready been productive Of much good.
Most people little realize the Importance
of pure milk and cream to the health OF
the oummunity, nor how large percent
age Of impure milk and cream they daily
use. The health of the animal and the
quality of food IL consumes Is not thought
OF by the householder, although these are
vital factors In the production OF healthy
dairy products; yet cows, like men, are
subject to various diseases, especially tu-
berculosis, which render their milk both
disgusting and dangerous. The average
farmer cannot afford, If he was so dis
posed, to pay a skilled veterinary for fire.
quent inspection OF his animals, nor can
he adopt modern hygienic methods in
feeding and caring for them. Even in
milking, disease germs. we are told by
writer's on the subject, fall from the FL
thy skins Of ungroomed and unwashed
animals into the milk pail, and vitiate
its contents. To attain the best results,
the skins of dairy animals should be kept
perfectly clean; this we know is rarely
done by farmers and dairymen. OF course
milk and cream produced without care
can be sold cheaply, and this cheapness
seems to be the sole thought Of consum-
ers. All milk, they think, is alike, and
worth the minimum price, and yet
some milk is better worth 25 cents
quart than some other worth
one tenth as much, and people
should understand this. 1t is the
poorest economy to buy any poor food,
and above all cheap and poor milk or
cream.

Secured More Terminals,

The Northern Pacific railroad has
bought from Standard Oil interests the
western section of the Everett and
Monte Cristo railroad and it's terminals
in Everett, Wash. 1t is important, as
the Northern Pacific is expected to
build up Everett and will come into
direct competition at that point with
the Great Northern.
The Everett and Monte Cristo (west-
ern section) extends from Snohomish h
to Everett and is about eight miles
long. The terminals are extensive. The
reason the Northern Pacific bought the
road is to obtain more terminals for A
growing Pacific coast business.

the salaries OF ticket agents, as their
pay was to an extent regulated on the
theory that a certain amount of COM

into the pockets of the agents.
