1t is encouraging to learn that there
is to be fair crop of Maine apples this
y ,ar in spite of the unfavorabie weather
during a portion of the summer. The
Maine apple has come to be one of the
standard food products of the world, and
it has made for itself a name not only in
this community, but in Europe as we'll.
A Lewiston man who has recently re-
turned from trip abroad is authority
for the statement that in England the
people have come to know the Maine ap-
pie and ask for it in preference to ap-
Piles grown elsewhere. 1t is good
thing to have record for doing things
so well that the people want the result
of your work in preference to all others,
even though that work be growing ap-
Piles. The state of Maine has reason to
be proud of herself and of her apples.

Mr.. Stowe Writes.
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat:
1t is going on three weeks since | ex-
changed my old home with its pleasant,
intermingled with sad associations, for
the new which has been to me from the
first, Home, in its broadcast significance.
| am now located in Yarmouth, two and
a half miles from the Grand Trunk r. X.
station, two miles from the post office,
and half a mile from the Portland and
Yarmouth electrics, in farming district,
beautiful for situation. Here is an I'M
INSTRUCTED view of the sun rising and
setting and one evening last week the
sun went down in all its glory clothed in
beautiful garb of fiery red, while the
moon at the same time in the east made
its appearance as though rising with the
sun in its grandeur. Viewing the scene
with almost overwhelming rapture the
words came to me quieting in their as
surance
abe stin and know that am God"
After a residence of thirty-four years
in community of the kindest friends
and neighbOrs, il is no small matter to
break away, even for good home in
another locality. But in all respects it
is not new for here comes revival of
former friendships and acquaintauces
which hold dear. Truly "the lines are
fallen unto me in pleasant places" AL
though | am in the main retired, | am
in communication with the outside
world through the Lewiston Journal, the
Portland Daily Press and Oxford Demo
crat, and may say private and special
correspondence. Please note my adj
dress is Yarmouth. Yours very truly,
