Waldo County Agricultural Society Fair.

The following letter has been received by
Mr.. j. F. Wilson of this city, and should
serve as a reminder to every resident of
Waldo County that they will do well to be-
gin plans for their exhibit at the Fair next
summer Liberal premiums are offered in
all departments, and the matter is one that
should appeal strongly to local pride. The
1907 fair is to be the best yet: Let us help
to make it SO.
Mr.. j. F. Wilson, Belfast, Maine,
Dear Slr:-4ou have been appointed a
member of the Committee for the next Fair
of the Waldo County Agricultural Associa-
tlOn on vegetables, grain, ETC., and entire
charge of the poultry exhibit.
AS means toward giving the best Fair
that the Association has ever given, want
you to commence now and work to obtain
the largest exhibit in those branches on
which you are on the committee that we
have ever held. You can do more by talk
ing to people during the summer than you
can by being present, all three days of the
Fair, and not having done any advance
work. Get everybody to bring everything
that you can, and get them to bring as
much as you can, but above all do not for
get for one single instant during the coming
summer, that you can benefit this AssOcia-
tlon immeasurably by working hard for big
exhibits. DO not leave it to your officers to
do it all. You know what mean by that
give your officers all the assistance that you
can, and give it in this way; that is, "Ad-
vance Work.
Yours very truly,
HORACE CHENERY.

Results OF FOrms

Lincoln, Neb.. Nov. S.-Coach Cole
is still uncertain as to the personnel
of the Nebraska lineup against Kan
sas at Lawrence Saturday. Two of
his regulars, Johnson and Frum, nave
been missing from the practice this
week while nursing the injuries sus-
tanned in last weeks battle with the
Iowa Aggies. Nearly every man OF
the varsity squad who took part in
the conflict with Ames was roughly
handled and is much the worse for the
experience Frums injury is a splint-
ering of the clavicle, sustained unbe-
known to himself in the clash with
the Minnesota Gophers nearly three
weeks ago. Frum insists upon play
ing Saturday, but Cole fears still
more serious injury and mas prac.
tically ticketed Harte to go In at
Frum's guard. Craig Is cores apparo
ent selection to take Johnsons place
at one of the wings of the line. The
probable lineup Saturday is:
Craig, left end; Matters, left tackle;
Ewing, left guard; Collins, center;
Harte, right guard; Chaloupka, right
quarter; Weller, left half; Minor.
right half; Kroger, fullback. This
eleven is nearly as husky as the one
which humbled Ames last saturday
cess of IT'S.
Cole has purposely refrained from
stiff practice this week, although real
izing that Kansas is worthy ana
sturdy foe and will quite likely force
his pupils to the limit, despite the de-
feat of the Jayhawkers last week at
the hands of Washburn- The Corn
huskers have been slow in recovering
from their hard battle with Ames and
Cole has not dared to drive his men at
top speed. Captain Weller's goal kick
ing is to be one of Nebraska's chfer
dependencies Saturday at Lawrence.
Weller has kicked six goals from the
field in Nebraska's previous games, a
record which should make him dan
eerous whenever the Cornhuskers get
within hailing distance of the Kansas
goal. The Nebraska captain, along
with all of the regulars. was badly
bumped in the conflict with Ames and
began the present week in miserable
physical condition. He is rounding
to, however, and will direct the en-
gagement Saturday on the Cornhusk-
erS' part.
The programme mapped out by
Manager Eager provides for the de-
parture of the Nebraska squad from
Lincoln on Thursday night Friday Is
to be spent in Kansas City, the squad
cluded spot, the party leaving Satur-
day morning for Lawrence.
The Nebra slkans are to enter the
fray Saturday virtually without local
support. Manager Eager has frequent
ly petitioned the railroads for a re-
duced rate in order that he might or
ganize an excursion of Cornhusker
rooters, but the passenger magnates
have sternly refused. A few of the
rooters will make the trip to Lawrence
regardless of the railroad ukase and
aside from these the Cornhuskers will
be with out backing.

DUTY OF BANKERS.
1t Is Discussed by the President of the
est American Association.

louisville, Nov s.-The new president
of the American, Bankers association is
James D. Powers of Louisville, KY. He
is prominently connected with many
financial institutions in the Kentucky
metropolis, and is representative of the
splendid character of the American
bankers fraternity. When asked for
his opinion of existing financial condi-
lions Of this country, Mr.. Powers gave
a characteristic interview replete with
suggestions and sanity.
Mr.. Powers said: In times such as
these, indeed at all times. the banker
should take a stand against undue
speculation, wild financiering and STOCK

steel or what not. Especially is this
true in these days when men are money
mad and when financial brain storms
are epidemic. It should be the first
duty of bankers who lend the money
of their depositors to see that the party
to whom the money is loaned should be
solvent, sane and sensible, and the Sc
curfty which is taken as collateral
should represent real and not imaginary
or inflated values. -
Bankers should act as the balance
wheel to the great financial interests
outside as well as inside their immed-
late domain, refusing alike, to counte-
nance or lend aid to the man or institu-
ton that CANDLES upon the rights and
money Of others. They should stand as
a mighty bulwark against wholesale
pillage of innocent stockholders and in
vestors. Such action will be more bene-
fetal than all the statutes that may be
enacted by all the legislative bodies of
the country. 1t is we'll to remember that
it is the people, rather than legislators,
whose opinion makes permanent sta
tutes and changes constitutions"
The other officers of the American
Bankers association are vice president,
George M. Reynolds. Chicago; secretary,
F. E. Farnsworth, Michigan; treasurer,
the executive committee, Lewis E. Pier
son, New York.
The new secretary, Mr.. F'arnsworth,
is an interesting character. For IL
years James R. Branch of New York
occupied the lucrative position which
pays a salary of $4,000 annually. At
the last annual meeting at Atlantic
City Michigan carried off the palm. Mr..
Farnsworth is well known in Detroit,
where he has been secretary of every
thing going for years. He is an able
f1nancier and man of strong parts.
