The truth of the business is that
the Handwriting is now being done
away out in the rural districts. where
the Sunday school picn!cs are heinS
held. where the watermelon cuttings
are being operated, and where the
Henrico people are having good
time generally. The candidates and

are going on, and the courthouse
knows them not for the Immediate

The contract for the Highland

particulars, and will cost about S12,-

Seen AT Big
State Fairs.

Reviewing the cattle section OF the
huge Minnesota state fair, the giant
exponent OF the great northwest, the
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, from
which the cut is reproduced, includes
the following In its running comment:
The awards In the class of aged
Shorthorn bulls scattered this fairs
money and commentator from Ken
lucky to North Dakota. A contest that
will prove memorable in Shorthorn
history was waged in this spacious
and well appointed arena.
Most of the strong herds at Iowa
moved up to Minnesota, where they
were not exactly welcomed with
bloody hands to hospitable graves, >
but where the breeders OF the home
state gave them all the competition
they wanted and then some. But
even at that one grand championship
went to faroff Kentucky and the other
to Missouri.
White Hall Marshal fought his way
to another championship, winning In
the aged class over the beautiful white
Bapton Favorite, which wants only
some filing Of the bottom line to give
pause to nearly any competitor.

nous favor for COW denied as was

urements. Experience has shown that
as regards thickness Of material the
three quarter inch is the best for ends.
three -eighths for sides and one-quarter
for top and bottom.
In speaking of the styles of pack the
trade In general understands the packs
only when designated as straight or
diagonal. Many people prefer to desig-
nate the packs as three, three and one
half, four. four and one-half or five
tier.
In the straight pack the rows run
straight across the box, parallel to the
edges. This pack includes all the three.
four and FIVE tier apples. The straight
pack Is very neat In appearance, but 1t
is rather severe on the fruit, as each
apple tends to be pressed firmly
against surrounding apples rather than
into the spaces. Some packers place
the apple on Its side, others pack with
the stems up. while some have the
calyx up. The best packs should al
ways have the bottom and top layers
with stems toward the outside. In this
way the apples do not tend to bruise
as badly.
The four tier consists of four rows
across the top and four deep, includ
ing the 90 (six tiers long. the 12S
eight tiers long, and the 112 (seven
tiers long.
The diagonal pack, or diamond pack,
as 1t Is often called. Is 80 termed be
cause the rows run diagonally with
the edge OF the box. Its chief adyan-
tnge is that 1t accommodates sizes that
do not adapt themselves readily to the
straight pack, although In some cases
we find that the diagonal contains the
same number of apples as certain
straight packs. The diagonal pack con
tains the half tiers. such as three and
one-half and four and behalf One
of the advantages of the diagonal pack
Is that 1t allows the apples to adjust
themselves more readily to the space

OLD FOLKS.
Can Renew Their Strength.


While it is impossible for the aged
to renew their youth we want to say
to all elderly people in Skowhegan
that they can renew their strength by
taking our delicious cod liver prepar-
alton, Vinol.
Vinol, being rich in the elements of
life, is an ideal strengthened and body
builder for old folks.
Mr. A. j. Barker of Evansville, Ind :,
says: tThere is no other medicine in
the world equal to Vinol for elderly
people. would not take thousand
dollars for the good it has done me-"
Vinol is not patent medicine, but
a real cod Incorporation made by a
scientific, extractive and concentrat-
ing process from fresh Gods livers
combining with peptonate of iron all
the medicinal, healing, body building
elements of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol tones up the digestive organs,
makes rich red blood, and sound,
steady nerves. In this way it repairs
worn tissues, checks the natural de-
cline of the aged, builds up the run
down, tired and debilitated, and re-
places weakness with strength. We
ask every aged or weak person in
Skowhegan to try Vinol on our offer
to return money if 1t fails to give sat-
isfaction. F. w. Buchanan, Skowhe-
gan, Me.

marks:
