about $35. Uc0. After talking with other

ly able to take care of itself, but it
should own its plant as the Legislature
is more willing to aid a hospital that
owns its uWn buildings.
Having This hospital in Augusta
gives a place where men, women and
children can receive proper care and
accommodation during sickness at a
Very low cost where. for any reason, ii
might be necessary to move them to
it. At a little additional cost a private
room may be obtained. In either case.
the entire charge is less than ordinary
medical attendance. If in private
room the patient may have any Of the
physicians he or She may choose.
outside of the good of having a hos
pital here and ready for any kind Of an
accident, il is a great advantage to
have access to trained nurses at rea-
sonable cost. This feature alone means
much in a community. It is also i'm
portant that there be a place ready for
emergencies. Last year. a young man.
son Of wealthy parents, was i'll with

the maintenance of such a plant upon
whose resources he may he obliged t.

In advocating this. | understand
that there is t. be no attempt to large

STATE HOUSE.
Some Industries Passing and Others
Growing.
Three Moro Towns Vote 10 Have Free Public
Libraries.

While there are some few industries
that are dropping out Of the State others
are coming in to take their places. Dur
ing the past 20 years the tannery bust
ness has steadily decreased. At one time
many of the smaller towns in the State
and especially those in the hcmlock re-
gion had small local tannery. These
are gradually passing away.
In the place of these industries are
coming up plants which give employment
to great many more men. In speaking
of this matter. yesterday morning, Com
missioner of Labor Statistics Matthews
called attention to the fact that while
some of the industries are dying out, oth-
crs are sprinsing up which give employ
mcnt to great many more people. me
coming industry seems to be the manu-
facturc of paper and pulp. Later comes
the manufacture of wooden novelties and
in the same line comes packing. Of late
there has been strong move in increas-
ing the number Of dlirics. Ship building
has seemed to be dropping out from
among Names principal industries. But
in place Of the building of wooden ships
is that Of constructing steel vessels. this
being carried on at the Saith Iron Works.
But even though there has been a ten
dcncy 10 close up some industries there
seems to h. i bright spot at the present
time. as many of those which have been
closed are showing the effect Of the re-
Vival in business

What surprises me, said State Su-
perintendent of Schools w. w. Stct-
son, is the manner in which our young
men listen at the lectures that are Civ
en-" The conversation had driftcd
from the remarks made by Bishop
Goldman to the possibilities of what the
State would send out as representative
young men in the next generation
Few men are better qualified to speak
of the future outlook Of the State than
Superintendent StetSon from the fact
that there is hardly a nook or a corner
into which he has not penetrated, not
as a mere traveller, but as a student
of the manner in which education is
being carried on.
These young men" continued Mr.
Stetson, ARE most eager to learn.
They do not go to the lectures from
idle curiosity, but TO hear and learn
from what is said.
NO, it is not in any particular sec
ton of the State, but all parts 1t
does not apply to any one, but to all
classes. There are but two classes in
the State. The number imported from
other states is 50 very small. So small
that they cannot be said to constitute
a class. The two classes are the ma
tives, those whose parents and grand
parents were born here and have al
ways lived here. and the people who
have come here from other countries.
This fact that the young men listen
so attentively at the educational lee
lures, that they are 50 anxious to
learn. is to me one Of many proofs
that Maine will send out fully as able
men in the future as she has in the
past and is sending out at the present
time

BILL TO HELP TEXAS FARMERS
HAS BEEN INTRODUCED ny con-
GREssMAN BURLEsoN.
IT is Intended TO Find II Means for
killing johnson Grass and 4" FIND
More Uses for Cotton seed.
lspeclal to The PostD

washington, D. c., March 3.-Congress
man Burleson has introduced the following
bill:
That there be appropriated out of
any moneys In the treasury Of the
United States not otherwise appro-
priated. the sum OF $40 600, to be eN-
pended under the direction OF the sec
rotary OF agriculture for the following
purpose namely:
First-Thrieen thousand dollars, or
as much thereof as may be needed,
shan be expended 10 ascertain by ex
periments made for said purpose the
quickest. most practicable, and eco.
nomlcal way 10 destroy andhfophagi
halepensis, sometimes called sorghum
halepense, and commonly called john
son grass
Second-seven thousand dollars
shall be expended to determine by
chemical investigation and experiments
made for said purpose, new economic
uses of cotton seed. cotton seed OIL
cotton seed meal. cotton seed huhs
and their products.
Tho secretary OF agriculture shall
from time to time report the results
of said Investigations and expert
ments.
The purpose OF the first section OF this
bill is TO ascertain the quickest and cheap
est method Of killing johnson grass,
which has ruined. and Is running, more
farms than any one pest in the state O.
Texas. This section meets with the APP
probation OF Secretary Wilson. with whom
Mr.. Burleson talked before he Introduce

passes. viii he made in Texas.
The purpose of the second section o
this bill IS TO discover new and more
purposes for cotton seed and cotton seed
products. Every additional use discov'
cred for the products OF cotton seed will
increase their value in the hands of thu
farmer. Mr. Burleson has also in cours'
of preparation a bill 10 establish asros

This bill will be interesting to the cat
tIenen Of Texas. 1t is intended to props
