That is to say nearly $50, 900 more
money is going directly to and for the
benefit of the farmers than in 1892
This is one of the raises of which an
didate Davis is 80 bitterly complaining,
but what does he want to do about any
OF the itemsP Dare he say that any one
of them is larger than conditions justify !?
Where would be place the knte-suI-
posing he were seated in power?
How would the farmers of Maine III Q
to see Governor abolishing the inspeC-
ton bureau that assures them pure foe d
for their stock and makes oleo stop
masquerading as butter?
Probably the next legislature will be
urgently asked by the farmers of Maine
for at least 100000 to meet and cope
with the brown-tal and gypsy moth
plague that Is now at our borders after
devastating Massachusetts. The Dem
ocrats swear that the State ought to go
back to the old days of expenditure
for basis Candidate Davis so aft rma
in declaring that the present progress
i've policy of Maine is unwarrantable
II he doesn't mean what he says, then is
he q safe man to trust in other matters
of State moment in which veracity is
looked for? II he is determined to re-
trench then what are the farmers ready
to give up out of their special appropria
tionB-in case Cyrus gets the reins?
Note what the Republican administrs
ton has done in meeting the demands
OF Maine's agrioulturists half way
Nothing for the farmer" walls can
didate Davis.
What do the fair minded farmers
think?

To AILING WOMEN,
A Little Sound Advice viii Help
Many A Sufferer in SkOWhegan.

No woman can be healthy
and well if the kidneys are
sick. Poisons that pass off in
the urine when the kidneys
are we'll are retained in the
body when the kidneys are
sick. Kidneys and bladder
get inhamed and swollen,
crowding the delicate female
organs nearby and sometimes
dispIaeing them. This is the
true cause OF many bearing
down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric
poisoning also causes head
ache, dizzy spells, ianguor,
nervousness and rheumatic
pain.
When suffering SO, try
Doan's Kidney Pills. the
remedy that cures sick kid
neys. You will get better as
the kidneys set better, and
health will return when the
kidneys are well. Let a
Skowhegan woman tell you
about Doan's Kidney Pills.
Mrs Bert Lane of SO Milburu St,
Skowhegan, Me, says: During the
past three years | was a great sufferer
from backache, dizzy spells and terrible
headaches. l had been treated by
physicians and taken medicines of va
rious kinds with only temporary relief
Ny limbs were badly swollen and I was
told that l had dropsy, Ny husband
had used DoaG's Kidney Pills some
years ago when laid up with bis back
and he urged me to try them. I got a
box at Geo E Simpsons drug store,
and in three or four days after began
taking them l felt relieved, and when I
had finished half a box the pain had en-
trely disappeared"
For sale by all dealers. Price SO cents.

The National Government ia building
for New York harbor a new channel to
the sea which will be the most brilliantly
lighted harbor channel in the world. The
new ocean highway will place New York
notch ahead OF any other port in the
world. 1t will eliminate the present
tortuous course which vessels OF large
draught must now pursue in leaving or
entering the harbor, cutting off, in this
way, fully five miles of travel. The
new channel will be eight miles long,
1000 feet wide and forty feet deep.
Throughout its length it will be illum.
mated by two parrellel lines of light
buoys, which will be equipped with
lights of great intensity, IN addition
other great lights will be seen high
above the water, and to the navigator
in his dark pilot house they will be so
arranged that the lights at the en-
trance and the end of the channel will
be constantly In line, and when the
ship rounds bend the turning lights
can be readily held in place. AT night,
the new channel will be almost as bril-
liant as Broadway 1t will cost 1921 900
and it is expected to be completed inside
of two years.

Waiting To Hear From Peary.

Anxiety over the whereabouts and
condition of the Peary expedition toward
the North pole increases as the weeks
go by and not the slightest word comes
from the intrepid lieutenant and his
followers
1t was expected that by the end Of
June news might possibly come from
him and that July would surely bring
particulars regarding how far he had
succeeded in advancing. whether he
found conditions favorable to carrying
out his exedition as he planned it, etc,
but as August is Fastening by and not
the slightest word of any sort comes
from him anxiety begins to increase.
The officials of the xpeaition to whom
news would naturally be forwarded are
reticent and claim to feel every conf
dence which perhaps they do, but none
the less it is not denied that they will
heave a sigh of relief when they hear
that Perry's luck has stood by him.

A city lot an inch wide sold at suc-

I COALING AT SEA.

Washington, D.. c., March 6.-One
Of the most important steps taken in
the navy department in the way OF
adding to the mobility of the fleet in
time OF action is the equipment OF one
OF the naval Golfers with an English
apparatus which will permit coaling at
sea. This has been a subject discuss
ed with much interest by the naval
general board. 1t is considered OF
equal Importance with the means OF
repairing ships on the firing line by
the, employment OF a floating dock. II
vessels can be coaled at sea, Of course,
there will be great saving in time,
which, in the event OF war means the
preservation of the integrity, and there
fore the maintenance of the
efficiency of the feet. The aadop-
.tion of the British system of coal
ing ships at sea will not be received
in all quarters with approval, since it
means" the rejection OF an American
model, which was recently tested in
the service and without those results
deemed satisfactory by the expert OBJ
servers. In the contract made for the
installation Of the apparatus on the
naval collier it is stipulated that the
contractors shall receive no compensa-
tion until the device has been fully test
ed under practical conditions. This
will include coaling at distance from
the, shore and in reasonably rough wea-
ther ".+ n 4z# 2 '.-E..
