Every day now there are to be seen a
good number of summer visitors on
our streets. The greater part of them
come by boat from Boston and from
here go by trolley car or stage or team
tp various parts of Kennebec county,
but many others come by train. Au-
gusta is becoming more and more each
year center and distributing point of
summer travel, and this year, in spite
of the cold and unfavorable season,
there are more visitors than ever be-
fore. This means not a little to our
city and this section of the State, and
all our business men should do every
thing to encourage and foster the bust
ness which this tide of travel brings.
1t is not strange that more and more
visitors from outside the State are COM
Ing to Kennebec county. No section is
more beautiful or has more charms for
the vacationist or the fishermen. and
the extension of our trolley system has
done much to make it's beauty spots
more appreciated.

The Maine School Teacher.

The Louisville Herald finds food for
reflection in the contrast between the
educational equipment of Maine and
that OF Kentucky. Kentucky has 10,513
teachers, or one for every forty-seven
pupils enrolled, while Maine has one to
every twenty pupils enrolled, and one
to every fourteen attending. Compared
with Maine by population the Louisville
paper figures it that Kentucky should
have 81 $50 teachers. Maine is an ex-
ample for her sister states in the edu-
cational as in many other fields.-Port-
land Argus.
The common school standard in
Maine is much higher now than it was
few years ago, and our school system
is one in which we can justly take
much pride. And it is not only that
Maine has a good number of teachers
: in proportion to the pupils, as the Ar
gus points out above. This is an i'm
portant factor in our splendid educa-
tional equipment, but it is of more i'm
portance that the quality is commen-
surate with. the quantity. There are no
better teachers anywhere than those
who are born here and trained and ex-
perienced in the schools of Maine. Not
only are the results in our own schools
a proof of this but the exceptional sue
cess won by Maine teachers beyond our
borders in an even better proof
The Maine school teacher is found
everywhere and the supply is not equal
to the demand. In a constant and in
creasing stream, by scores and hun
dreds, they go from Maine, every year,
to become teachers and superintendent
elsewhere where the field is broader
and the salaries larger. Massachusetts
is full of them and they are found by
hundreds through the other states and
in the great cities all over the Union.
No state except Massachusetts itself
had so many teachers at the recent
cational convention in Boston, and
the great numbers of teachers from
other states who registered as natives
Boston papers.
All this is something of which our
State may well be proud. To be so
prominently at the front In the great
work of education; to have colleges and
normal schools which send out teachers
so superbly equipped for the demands
of modern school work; to have home
schools of such high standard and
State superintendent recognized as one
of the best in the country; to raise the
best material in the land for teachers
and to make such good use of this
material these things count more in
the scale of our States greatness than
our vast forests, our tceming fields and
our busy mills.

The Kansas Wheat Crop,

The Kansas liar has doomed up Bis
| on the western horizon for many years
and the yarns with which he has filled
| the eastern papers are unique in the
annals of modern mendacity. His in
ventive genius has known no limits ant
his enterprise has been of the kind thai
would move mountains, were noun
tains known in Kansas. Kansas is {
great state, and has need of only homes
men to tell the world of it's products and
possibilities, but it is fitting that il
Kansas should have liars at all. they
should be liars unexcelled anywhere
In connection with this years record
breaking wheat crop, the Kansas lial
has been as busy and entertaining as
usual, first with stories of calamity
and later with desperate appeals fol-
harvest hands, and freight cars.
But now that the harvest is ended the
the August Review of Reviews Philip
Eastman gives us a summary which
may be accepted as reliable. 1t APP
pears that the Kansas liar has been
forced by circumstances beyond his
control to keep nearer the truth than
usual The crop is the largest that
Kansas ever knew, and by far the
largest wheat crop ever raised in any
state. Time was when the name of
Kansas was associated in the popular
mind with corn. But the famous
wheat belt of the West now includes
thirty counties in Kansas, extending
from the northern to the southern
boundary. Not a county in this belt
raises less than a million bushels an
nually. 1t is pointed out that the yield
of Sumner county alOne-6,S12, 102
yields of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Mississippi, Wyoming, New
Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Alabama
and New Jersey. Sumner county is
the buckle of the wheat belt. Barton
county, which ranks next to Sumner
called for 400 extra men and more than
1000 additional horses this year to harv
est her crop of wheat.
In 1901 Kansas broke her own record
in the matter of wheat crops and led
the list of all the states, with more
than ?9,OOO0OO bushels. This was 49,
O00,0 900 more bushels than were raised
in Minnesota, which ranked second, al
though the acreage of wheat sown in
was greater than that of
Kansas by $685. 6S. Last year the
yield suffered from climatic
conditions and dropped to 54000,000
bushels: but. this year, it will go far
beyond LOO, 1000, 600 bushels. Much of the
.hrashing is done as the wheat is har-
vested, but much remains to be done in
he fall and so the exact figures cannot
now be given.
Mr.. Eastman's story of the use of
machinery in preparing the land and
,uttins and harvesting the crop is one
o stagger the imagination of a New
England farmer. He tells of wheat
lelds 1000 acres in extent where the
steam machines which cut the grain
'lso thrash it, weigh it, tie it up in bags

Frederick w. Davis of 1863 Lafayette
avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes the
Journal that he is engaged in writing
a small biography of his grandfather,
the late Hon. Gorham Davis of Bangor
and Bradford, Maine, who was born in
1909 ana dled in 1872. He was engaged
in the lumber business and was for
many years active in politics of the
State. For a time he was colonel in
the militia. Mr.. Davis writes us as fol-
lows: 1T has occurred to me that
some OF the gentlemen who knew my
grandfather may now be living and in
position to send me interesting let
tiers regarding their connection with
my Srandfather's interests. No doubt
many OF their descendants are living
and there may be many letters of my
grandfather's stored away in the attics
of Bangor. POSSIBLY there may be
some among the 10000 which Mr. Ham
lin mentions were saved by his grand
father). If anyone in Penobscot county
or the State of Maine knows the pres
ent whereabouts of Olive Davis, Lewis
Gorham Davis, and Albion Davis, chill
dren of Lewis Davis, brother to my
grandfather, should feel under great
obligations if they would send me the
addresses desired. If anyone can send
me any personal recOllections regard
ing Gorham Davis, or will>sell me the
histories of Penobscot and Somerset
counties, genealogies or family his
tories relating to the Davis, Dean (of
Hampdem Rand and Finson families

Davis figures, old Bangor directories,
