paigns for nearly a quarter OF century

their candidate Cor Governor, William T..
Cobb OF Rockland, by a plurality over
his Democratic opponent, Cyrus w. Da-
Wis Of Wateryille, estimated at $1,000.
The vote was the largest ever pOlled.
The returns show a Republican gain over
1900 Of 10 per cent and Democratic
gain of 81 per cent, on which basis the
Republican plurality for Governor is es-
timated at about $1,000. in 1900 it was
81, 1872 The Republicans carried every
county with the exception of two. They
elected the four members Of Congress

Utilizing Old Orchards.

there are many farms in the coun

are not used for that purpose because
their owners raise other crops which
are profitable. During a recent trip

orchards, and he promptly left the

orchards in this section had beer

able. New orchards had been set, but
instead of abandoning the old orchards
the ground had been seeded down and
turned into fine pastures for sheep
which were doing finely Not only
this, but it was found that the or
chards had taken on new life, anC
were making profit for their own

sa;n subsif,y Resuscitated,


The whole Roosevelt administration
seems saturated with e idea that a
ship subsidy bill must he forced
through Congress. The latest high Off
cial to attempt to coerce Congress is
Robert B. Armstrong, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. While Secretary
Shaw and others of the cabinet have
yelled their desire for this robbery of
the people for the ship trust, they are
quite as strongly for a ship subsidy
or their under strappers would not be
declaring for it. The occasion taken
by Mr.. Armstrong to inoculate others
with this Republican policy of subsidy
was the national convention of the
American Institute of bank clerk
held at st. Louis Aug. %. He { :
clared that the upbuilding of the mer-
chant marine was woruy of the best
thought and activity Of mis- hearers,
and further said:
Just why some of the American
people objected TO government assist
ance in supplying American rolling
stock for a highwl ~ of commerce that
has been in existence since creation, l
am unable to understand.
"They had not objected seriously or
successfully against government aid to
the transcontinental railroads, and he
asked why they should protest when
it is suggested that the government
help place upon the bosom of the sea
ships that fly the american flag"
So we may expect if Mr.. Roosevelt
and Republican Congress is elected,
to see strong pressure brought TO boar
upon Congress to load up the people
with an enormous tax for Morgan and
his steamship trust.
Mikado Has job for Roosevelt.
The Mikado or Japan evidently has
taken the measure of President Roose-
velt and knows that it is not as
statesman but as a warrior that ne is
valuable. According TO a special cable
from France to the st. Louis Post-Dls-

Eve have il from trustworthy
source that the MikaGo will ask Presi-
dent Roosevelt. in the event Of his de-
feat in the coming election, TO become

house and barn were burned and he was
lying within a few feet of the front Of
the house, one arm and leg burned off
and the o,her parts of the body so dis
figured that he could not be recognized.
Daughs had been threshing all day at
the farm of Collas, nearby neighbor.
1t was about . o'clock when he left
there. From tlat time nothing is known
of him until he wgs found dead two
hours later. The theory most generally
accepted is that of murder. Daughs had
recently sold his farm and had been paid
about $500 in cash All but $50 of
this amount was deposited in the bank.
but there is no trace of the remainder.
1t was estimated that he was worth be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. He was 81
years old and has been living on this
farm about twenty years. He lived very
economically and lived all alone.

Sowing Clover with Wheat.

Farmers who appreciate the value
of clover in farming operations are
quite willing to go to some trouble
to obtain stand. Oftentime failure
is due to some fault in the plan OF
sowing the seed. Try the following
plan: The wheat field is thoroughly
prepared and gone over with a spring
tooth harrow before sowing the wheat
level the soil with harrow and Their
apply fertilizers at the rate of 800
pounds an acre, making UP ton OF
it in the following proportions, 1,00d
pounds of acid phosphate, 800 pounds
of kainit and 200 pounds of muriate
of potash. The fertilizer is broadcast
ed on the soil and then about eight
loads of fine manure put on; then the
whole field is narrowed two or three
times and 1t is ready for the wheat
seed and clover. The plan as outlin
ed involves considerable labor and
expense, but it is likely to bring desir
ed results.
