MAINE INDUSTRIES.

During the months Of June and July
and up to August IS, Vannah Chute
& Co.. OF Winslow Mills, paid the
Maine Central Railroad Co. $4,000 in
freight on corn. flour and feed.
After completing the seasons pack Of
blueberries at their factory in Cherry
field, the J. & T.. A. Wyman Co. will
open their sweet corn factories at East
Corinth and Bethel, where they have
400 acres planted to this crop, which il
looking fine and promises a large yield
The project of packing sardines on
the Pacific coast is now in progress by
Jasper Wyman of Milbridge, and three
sardine men from Eastport The fac
tory. which involves an outlay of $40
900, will be located in southern Califor-
mia, 20 miles from Los Angeles.
Launchings are scheduled at the
Bath Iron Works as follows: Bagley,
about Sept. 10; Monitor No. 8, early in
October; Biddle, middle of October.
Shafting for the Monitor has not ar
rived yet and the launching is delayed
partly on that account. The cruiser
Cleveland is about 10 per cent. COM
pleted.
Mayo & Sons wooden mill, Foxcroft.
is shut down, this week, for repairs.
These repairs will consist principally
of putting in a new wheel in the pick
er. The new wheel will make 500 rev.
olutions per minute, and will enable
the picker to take care of 1000 pounds
Of wool per hour. This mill has run
continually through the hard times,
always having orders ahead, and about
half the time for the past three years
the mill has been run evenings with
an extra crew.
In Blaine and immediate vicinity are
five starch factories and they are all
being repaired and placed in condition
for a lively business during the starch
making season of September and Oc-
tober. The prospect for prices at the
factory for starch stock is about 81
cents per barrel, and from 10 to %
cents additional for whole stock, but
it is expected that but little of the
latter will reach the factories. Careful
estimate made in regard to the crop
throughout the country is a falling off
of one third or more from an average
crop. This is based upon the fact that
the crop is two weeks later than usual
and the rust appearing early on the
vines that there will be a loss from
rottina in the fields. Many pieces that
were planted on low ground will scarce
ly pay for digging. II is very evident
that this is not a potato season and
there will be a big falling off in the
crop from what was expected some
weeks ago, but farmers are not look
ing at it as loss to them, for prices
will no doubt be higher.

CENSUS FACTS FROM A BATH TUB.
Providence Journal)


One of the young men who are calling
upon the public for statistics for the
United States census met with an anus
ing incident. Tuesday. His district is in
the suburbs of this city. and calling at
one house he rang the bell several times
without obtaining any response. As he
was going out of the yard, however, he
noticed that the windows were open but
screened and as he passed by one of
these a feminine voice called:
who's there? What's wanted?
I'm taking the United States census"
replied the enumerator.
I'm taking a BATH came the quick
response of the unseen voice.
Somewhat disconnected by this reply the
enumerator announced that he would call
again.
But can't | answer your questions from
here continued the bather.
Finding that there Were only two in the
family, the enumeratOr thought that she
could. So sitting down on the grass be-
meath the window, with his book spread
out upon his knee for a table, he asked
the required questions through the win
down and as the answers came from be-
hind the curtain they We're entered upon
his schedule. His questions. Are you
white or black" Male or female?" were
answered with tone that indicated that
the enumerator ought to know without
asking. But then. what could the poor
fellow do? He couldn't see the fair re-
Spondent.

A SPEEDY KENTUCKY FISHWORM
(Burlington RecorderD

One day last week, Jeff Eddins noticed
a fishing worm coming out of the ground
at a rate of speed he thought it impos-
sible for a worm of that kind to attain.
After landing on the surface it kept up
its gait, which was accounted for when a
mole popped out of the ground and took
after the worm. The mole was killed and
the worm spared.
