Drowned at Moosehead Lake.

Fred Pooler of Madison, who was
employed as an engine wiper at Kineo
station, was the victim of drowning
accident at that station Sunday even
ing, and Willis Vining, baggage mast
er on the Pullman which leaves there
at P. NJ, made himself a hero in the
eyes of the public through his heroic
efforts TO save Pooler from death.
Pooler was standing on the wharf,
when he lost his balance and fell into
Moosehead lake. Although there
were dozen men standing he arby,
who saw him fall, no one seemed to
realize his peril and watched the man
sink the third time without plunging
in to save him Winnings train was
just pulling out of the station when
one of the brakemen mentioned the
fact to him that man was drowning,
and, without waiting for further par
ticulars, he jumped from his train,
which had run between three and
four hundred yards from the wharf
where the unfortunate man had fallen,
and running back, stopped just long
enough to find out where he had sunk,
and then dove without taking time to
remove his coat. 1t was very dark,
and Mr.. Vining had his doubts about
finding Pooler, the water being about
% feet deep, but, when he struck
bottom he felt the body the first
thing, and twisting both his legs
about the man, he climbed a pole
which some one on the wharf was
holding for him, and succeeded in
reaching the surface with his burden.
A doctor, who happened to be among
the crowd on shore, put lorth his best
efforts to save the unconscious man,
and SO far revived him as to see that
he breathed. but his patient was too
far gone and died without regaining
consciousness. This is the first acct
dent which has occurred on the lake,
this season, and the incident served to
greatly excite the passengers of the
train, which waited for Vining, all of
whom had a word of praise for the
plucky boy who risked his own life TO
save man whose identity he did not
know

Advertise Your Goods

Everyone who is trying to get the
last dollar, which is all profit, for his
goods, whether it be breakfast food or
garden truck, must recognize the
value of advertising. Farmers and
gardeners have given the matter little
thought from their standpoint, but
the value of advertising farm produce
has been conclusiveiy shown. Judi
cious advertising has made Hale's
peaches famous in eastern markets.
Brother Halliday and Toupalik spoke
in last issue of how they advertised
their strawberries and of the direct re-
turn it brought them. While it will not
pay to advertise the staple products,
like grain, cotton, hay and hogs that
are sold and shipped to the general
markets, there will be found a nice
profit in giving publicity to the things
you have to sell near at home. If
you have milk, vegetables, fruit,
poultry or other produce to sell in the
local market, advertise it. Tell the
people not only what you have, but
that it is about the best in quality and
appearance of anything of the kind
and then make it SO. One who ad-
vertises judiciously in this way will
reap a handsome proft.-Farm and
Home.

Memorial to Thos. B. Reed.

After a tour of inspection of the
several sites for the proposed Thomas
Bracket Reed monument the COM
mittee of the monument association
selected lot on the Western pro-
menade and will ask the city council
to donate it for that purpose at the
next meeting, says the Portland Press.
The proposed site is one of the most
charming on this beautiful promenade.
1t is the square just to the eastward
of the bandstand and is the most COM
manding position on the promenade,
affording view of the country
around and will be in position
where it can be seen by everyone
coming into the city by the Union
station.
The committee have ambitious ideas
for the memorial and the tentative
plans call for monument that will be
the equal, if not the superior, of any
thing of the kind in New England.
The soldiers and sailors monument
cost S35, 900 but the Reed monument
will cost more. This will give some
idea of the kind of memorial that will
be erected.
No plans have yet been made for
the statue or for the asking for de-
signs. Now that the question of the
site has been practically disposed of
the committee will take up the other
matters.

Story of His Robbery Doesn't Go.

The referee in bankruptcy for Ken
nebec county, F. j. c. Little of Au-
gusta, rendered his decision, last
week in the hearing held, declaring,
in substance, that Roscoe E. Penney
was not robbed of $3.50 in Boston on
April q last as claimed and ordering
him to turn over this amount to the
trustees within Is days. Notice is
given of new hearing of the credit
ors to be held.
This decision is the elimination OF
one of the most interesting cases
heard before a referee in bankruptcy
since the present law went into effect.
Roscoe E. Penney has been running
a sale stable in Augusta. Last April
he went to Boston to buy horses, TAX
ing with him sum of money aggregat-
ing 5000. On April %, it was reported
that he had been held up and robbed
of nearly $1,000. The matter was re-
ported to the Boston police and an
investigation was made but no clue to
the robbery was obtained.
A few days after his return to Au-
gusta it was claimed that Mr.. Penney
went into bankruptcy and declared
his outstanding obligations to be
$50, 626.12, with but little security.
The case was taking it's usual
course when the officials of the Gran
tie National bank, one of his heavy
creditors, decided to do little detec
tive work of their own and trip was
made to Boston with Mr.. Penney to
investigate the circumstances sur
rounding the alleged robbery.
The hearing before Referee Little
was on motion of the Granite Nation
al bank and other large creditors for
an order to compel Penney to pay to
the trustees the sum of 5000, alleged
he was concealing from his creditors.
Several witnesses were examined
and the referee reserved his decision
until Thursday, announcing, as stated
above, his belief that the bankruI t
was not robbed and ordering him to
pay over the money within 10 days.

ICES the transient dealer, the peddler
or the smooth travelling sharper may
get a fair trade once in a while,
though the chances are considerably
against such a result,n says the editor
of the Fort Fairfield Review, who
may be speaking from experience.
1.-THE people to patronize are those of
your own town-those who help pay
the taxes, support your schools and
churches, and have an hour or a
dollar once in while for a charity or
other public or private good. Don't
be imposed upon by some taking
young fellow, a stranger, who pro-
fesses to represent some great and
beneficent concern for the benefit Of
the dear public, but who in reality
represents himself and his own
pocket first of all. Buy your goods
from men who expect to see you
again, whose interests are to a great
degree yours, and who are always
right near you to make good any
possible deficiencies; in other words,
patronize your townsmen and neigh
borsn

Madison's Roads Damaged $4,000
to $4,000.

The special town meeting called
to take some action towards repair
ing the damage caused by the recent
storm was held in Union hall, Tues
day afternoon at O'Clock. The Sc
lectmen reported on the condition of
the highways and bridges affected by
the storm and estimated that from
$4,000 to $4,000 would be required to
make the necessary repairs. After a
full discussion it was voted to leave
the matter of repairs to the best judg-
ment of the selectmen and they were
authorized to raise the necessary
funds with interest bearing town or
ders, payable in one, two or three
years. The vote was modified later
to the extent that the bridge over
Pooler brook should be of wood.
The Jones brook bridge will be of
steel with lattice ratings. The cost
of putting in these two bridges was
estimated to be about $4,000.

Aroostook's Potato Crop.

Fears are being entertained for the
safety of Aroostook county's potato
crop. The continual rains through
out the season have soaked the rich
soil of the county with an over
abundance of moisture and if the
rains continue there is grave danger
that the crop will be seriously dam
aged. The harvest time of the great
wealth of the Aroostook soil is not
much more than a month away now
and such a condition of affairs at this
critical period is not conducive to
eheerfulness on the part of Aroostook
farmers. As it stands now, even with
the increased acreage and the greater
amount OF FERTILIZER 10 the acre useG
this season, it is conservatively es
timated that the Aroostook potato
crop of 1907 will not equal that of
1906. Conditions equal, the 1907 crop
should be considerably larger than
that of 1906, but conditions are far
from being the same. The 1905 crop
was the greatest on record and well it
should be, for the conditions all
through the season were ideal for the
raising of potatoes. From an acre
age estimated at 10000 acres between
II and IS million bushels were ship
ped out over the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad. Another million bushels
went out over the Canadian Pacific.
The remainder of the crop stayed in
the county to be consumed for food,
seed, or in the manufacture of starch
The starch factories are still grinding
potatoes from the 1905 crop.

company is the maximum permitted
under the law and it was announced

That is, Illinois produced nearly two
hundred times as much wheat as
Maine. Illinois ranks eighth among
the wheat States. So it is ridiculous
to compare Maine with Illinois as a
State for the cultivation of wheat.
But look at corn. Here are some of
the leading corn States in 1905:
