Good VIII Farm.

Officers of the Good Will Home Asso-
citation recently caused to be published
in the Good Will Record an important
statement OF the financial situation at
that institution, parts of which we give
as follows:
The Manual Training Fund of GOOD
WHIP must be entirely independent of
the general fund OF the Association
The fund now set apart when paid In
will amount to $4,000 A considerable
proportion of this must be appropriated
for the structure, (Which is also to be
the Administration Building) and It's
equipment, therefore the income OF what
remains Of this fund will be used in the
care and heating of the building, and
will provide something for the teaching !;
but before the department of Manual
Training can be conducted efficiently in
all Its branches, the Association must
necessarily receive large additional gifts.
la the meantime we propose to build,
not for the present alone but also for
the future, and thus provide home for
school which will merit and invite gen
erous benefactions in-fsct, we sincerely
hope and believe before the school
is opened September 1903, that $4,000
will be added to the present fund for
manual training. We recommend this
statement to the attention of the gener-
Gus people of the United States.
1t is to be borne in mind that the COM
pletion Of this fund of $50 900, above re-
ferred to, does not in any way help our
| current expense account. 1t seems me-
| cessary to make this statement, because
some friends of "Good WHIP may have
seen announcements Of large gifts OF
money for the work, and may have felt
that their gifts to the present work of
the home we're no longer wanted or
needed. AS matter Of fact "Good
WHIP is just now passing through Pc
Rod Of special need for current expenses.
Her financial wants are greater today
than at any previous time In her history.
Large gifts for current expenses before
the closing of the fiscal year Dune 20)
are necessity. The difference between
the monthly receipts and monthly ex-
penditures is at least $500 90 and this de-
| felt has prevailed for some time past.
To large gifts from those who can make
them, we hope there will be added q
multitude Of smaller contributions, &C,
oerding to the ability of the donors.
We need $4,000 to $1,000 In cash now for
current bills, which include not only the
ordinary monthly expenses, but necessa-
ry improvements in the Agricultural De.
partment, which are being carried for.
ward-and further-we need $500 In
cash every month to pay as we go.

University commencement.

Four hundred people, friends OF the
University of Maine, attended the Junior
exhibition in the college chapel on Sat-
urday night, and while the storm ragged
over the deserted campus and the rain
beat DULY against the cold brick walls
without, were entertained by eloquent
addresses from five members Of the class
of 1903, interspersed with music given In
the best style of Pullen's symphony or
chestra.
| An immense audience, including large
delegations from Bangor and Oldtown
and practically the entire undergraduate
body of the university attended the ex-
ercises In the college chapel on Sunday
night, when the baccalaureate address
was given by President George Emery
Fellows.
| The regular commencement exercises
at the university began on Monday after
noon at 2.30 O'Clock, when convocation
was formally celebrated in the Chapel
| OF Alumni hall, and an informal recep-
| ton of the alumni at the president's

Crop Prospects.

Bradstreet in his report for last week,
says:
"Crop prospects taken as a whole are
really brilliant, railroad earnings are
enormous despite the small grain tom
mage, but clearings are quite heavy, not
withstanding the speculative dizziness,
and failures are fewer ia number than In
recently preceding years. The ending
Of the B0er war, 1t is also thought, will
have a tendency to stimulate export bus
mess in manufactures. On the other
hand the industrial situation is depres-
sing one, owing to the prospect of the
anthracite coal strike proving long and
bitter, threats of a strike in the Virginia
bituminous fields and the general unrest
noted among workers In number of in
dustries. Corn and cotton crop reports
are excellent. Winter wheat is turning
out better than expected in such States
as Kansas. Fruit crops promise to be
very large.
The Somerset reporter., 1902-06-12
For Liquor Commissioners.

The contest for the office OF State liq-
uor commissioner, which is now vacant,
promises to be one of the most sharply
fought that the State has had for some
time. There are a number of candidates
in the field and some of them are old
campaigners who know all the ropes of
politics. The Hon. Perham S. Heald of
Waterville is in the field and so is Justin
M. Leavitt of Alfred. They have served
in legislature and are well acquainted
with the men who shape political events.
Then there is Mr.. G. w. Richards of
Richmond who is In the fight. He Is not
one of the war horses of the party bur
he has influence of the strongest at his
back and goes into the contest with sup
porters which either of the other men
would consider verv valuable. He has a
large number OF acquaintance and as he
has never before asked their support for
any Office he will be the more likely to
secure it now. Fred ii. Harris, we'll
known hotel man of Boothbay Harbor,
is also an applicant for the office and
will receive warm support in his section
of the State. There are liable to be 9th.
er asprants. Some people may wonder
why the liquor commissionership is such
an attractive plum, az the salary is but
$1,000 and this $500 is all there is to the
office. The law which was passed some
few years ago, compelling all liquors
purchased for distribution by the State
to be passed upon by the State analyst,
is said to have removed the last chance
which there was for good margin on
sales. The State shows profit of ten
per cent by selling to these town agen-
cies, but out of this come all the expens-
es of maintaining the office, and II there
is anything left it goes to the State.

In Brussels, Malines and other Belgian
towns. novel method of not only getting
rid of smoke, but turning i; into use has
recently been employed. The smoke is
driven by a ventiatng fan into filter fill
co with porous material over which con-
tinuous stream o; petroleum. benzine,
alchol or some liquid hydrocarbon flows.
The result is that the smoke is entirely
suppressed. while the filter yields gas OF
great caloriic power, which can be used
for heating purposes and for driving gas
engines The fltering material itself also
becomes good combustble.
