A Lack of Yellow.

The paper called The American Press,
which, while 1t ia issued primarily for
advertising purposes, is really an ex.
cellent trade paper, recently published
fac SMILES of the first pages Of winning
papers in Michigan prize competition.
The Michigan Press Association offered
a prize of $50 for the best makeup of a
first page, and the samples given are
those of the winners in the competition.
There must be some mistake about it, or
the Judges weren't ION to their job"
Each of the pages contains twenty-five to
thirty news stories, or dispatches, each
one complete in itself, with clear and
attractive single column headings. Now
the committee of award ought to know
that an up-to-date first page of daily
paper would contain at least one picture,
made from a photograph, of an event
which has happened on the other side OF
the world within twenty-four hours, and
at least half dozen headings varying
from two columns wide to full page
width. Furthermore, there must be as
many headings on the page as possible,
and under each one from half dozen
lines to third of a column of matter,
breaking off with the statement, "Con-
tinued on steenth page" thus enabling
the reader to turn to the steenth page
and hunt for the rest of the story. A
well-ordered daily will never finish
story on its first page. The Wisconsin
Press Association Is away back in the
slow old days, and doesn't understand
the methods OF this yellow age.

It is gratifying to note continued inter-
est in the plan to purchase, improve and
preserve the dear little place in Farming
ton village, which was for so many years
the home of Jacob Abbott, that charm
ing writer for young people, author of
the Rollo books, the Franconia Stories,
the Marco Paul stories, the Young
Christian series of books and the popular
histories which have made his name a
household word all over the United
States for more than two generations.
Jacob Abbott was born in Hallowell in
1903, and died in Pennington in 1879.
His writings embrace more than 200 dis
tinct works, and have had great in
f1uence in moulding the character and
instructing the youth of thousands who
are now engaged in the active profess
sions and business of the world. The
trustees of the fund which is designed
for the purchase and preservation of his
former home have just made their sec.
ond report. This report shows that
81, 100 has been contributed by popular
subscription and paid toward the pur-
chase of the Abbott homestead in Farm
ington as literary shrine and memorial
of the author. The amount now needed
to complete the purchase is but 1922. 10,
and it is to be hoped that this sum will
soon be pledged so that the trustees may
complete the payment and be able to
hold the homestead in trust as me-
mortal of one of Names most distin-
guished native authors and literary
shrine which thousands of visitors to
Maine and to summer glories of the
famous Rangeley Lake region will like
to visit on their sojourn in that beauti-
full section of our state.

The death of Carlton Gardner, which
occurred Sunday, April 8, removed
prominent representative of the older
generation of Buckf1eld. The Gardeners
have been conspicnously associated with
the annals of the town since its early oo-
cupancy by white men, and have always
been noted for sterling integrity, sturdy
will and strong physical and mental
vigor. Cartoons grandfather, Jonathan
Gardner, was soldier of the Revolution
and later became an early settler In the
west part of Buck6eld, and his father
was the late Ira Gardner, strong,
energetic farmer who acquired q cOmpe-
tence from his farm, and spent his later
years in village retirement.
Carlton was the fourth child in
family of five children, and was born In
Buckfield March 8, 1928. He passed his
youth on his fathers farm, and when q
young man, he gratifled his desires to
see something Of the world by a sojourn
In the West, mostly passed In the Mis-
sissippi valley. On his return home he
engaged in farming, and later was several
times in trade in the village. In 1851,
he married Mary F. Cannon, daughter
of the late Jonathan Cannon, of this
town. In his early married life he resid-
ed for time at Paris Hill, where he was
sheriff and keeper of the county Jail, and
in more recent years he resided at South
Paris, Mechanic Falls and Chicago, a
short time in each place; but with these
exceptions his home has always been in
Buckfeld, to which he was deeply at
tached. During his years of activity he
was often called to fill various town
offices, and other places of trust, serving
as chairman of selectmen year after year,
and his good judgment, fidelity and in
dependence in public affairs was always
recognized.
He contributed largely to the resi-
dental growth and improvement of the
village, having owned and occupied
several residences, two of which he erect.
ed, while he substantially renovated
several others, which are now among the
best In town, and bear ample testimony
of his handiwork.

incorporating integrity, independence
of character, and a notable type OF
strong physical manhood. His death

DEMOCRAT READERS CAN LEARN SOME
THING OF VALUE FROM THIS.
Such thing as a weakling is hardly
known in Japan. The wonderful endur-
ance of the Japanese soldiers and sailors
in the recent war has been the marvel OF
all nations. Both men and women are
we'll, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful investi-
gators tell US, is that the Japanese from
childhood up know how to keep well
through care of the digestive system. If
they have trouble with indigestion, heart
burn, wind on the stomach, loss of appe-
tite, sleeplessness, headaches, rheumatic
pains, back-aches, or any of the other
troubles caused by weak stomach, they
treat themselves with some of the prin.
cipal remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a
stomach remedy that has already large
sale in Paris at F. A. Shurtleff & Co.
So uniformly successful has the rem
edy been in curing all stomach troubles
where it is used in accordance with the
simple directions given with each box,
that F. A. Shurtleff G. Co. give a signed
guarantee with every so cent package to
refund the money if Mi-o-na fails to
benefit.
They take all the risk. If you have
any stomach weakness, are nervous OF
fear that some articles of food will cause
trouble and Indigestion, here's the op
portunity to get we'll without risking q
cent. Those who use Mi-o-na are able
to eat anything digestible without feal

In Poets of America there is poem
from the pen of DR.. o. W. Holmes, emit
tied "The Last Leaf" which we'll ap-
plies to the late Joseph Henry Briggs,
whose death was reported in the last pa
per. He was the youngest of seven
children, four sons and three daughters,
belonging to Luther and Lydia (Bryant)
Briggs, and the last one to fall from the
family tree. He enlisted in the civil war
where he served more than three years
in the gulf department, and was said to
be good soldier, and was so fortunate
during the whole time as never to be
under fire. He was twice married, his
first wife being Lydia Jane Fuller, and
six children were born to them includ-
ing one pair of twins. They all died in
childhood except one son, who enlisted
during the rebellion and died in the
army; but the cause of his death is un-
known. His second wife was Jane York,
and the union was blessed with five sons
and three daughters, all of whom are
living except one son, who died from
injuries received in logging camp.
Therefore do l weep because death is
in the world; the spoiler is among the
works of God; all that is made must be
destroyed; all that is born must die"
The present week thus far has worked
fairly well in the rule of addition. Sun
day two lambs were brought in, and the
following night two boy babies were
born, one to the wife of Francis Cole,
and the other to the wife of John Howe
of Woodstock. Monday, a fine bull calf
was added to the stock here, and while
Tuesday was an off day, so far as known,
on Wednesday, we being Gentiles instead
of Jews, two four months old pigs were
bought and added TO the stock with a
view to having another supply of pork
later on.
An interesting incident occurred Tues
day afternoon in connection with our
mail; when the clock struck three the
remark was made that if it was good
travelling instead of foot of snow on
the ground, we should expect our paper
in few minutes; just as the words were
spoken Mr.. Hathaway drove by and the
paper was brought in. The fact is it
takes more than foot of April snow to
cause him to be much behind schedule
time.
