Z. 2. Mayo Pres. Central Maine Fair Asso,
Watcrvie, Maine.
My Dear Sir
Through your Association I would like to make
the following offer open to all farmers in kennebec
County, and to those in the town OF Fairfield, Som
ersct County.
To the farmer raising the most merchantable po-
tatoes on one acre of ground during the season OF
1907 | will give prize of $780, payable at the
time of the next Annual Meeting of the Central
Maine Fair Association. The conditions under
which all may compete as follows:
Each farmer entering for this prize shall notify
the Secretary of your Association not later than
August 18th, 1907, of his intention He shall keep
an accurate record of his method Of cultivation,
quantity and guaranteed analysis OF the FERTILIZER
used the number of times spraying IS done, what
is used and the dates of each spraying. When the
farmers are ready to dig their potatoes they shall
give your Secretary at least one week snoceand all
potatoes are to be dug under the immediate super
vision of your representative who is to carefully
weigh all the merchantable potatoes farmers to FUR
nsh the scales for that purpose. Your representa-
tive is to measure the land and in every case the
acre must be in solid block, the idea being that the
farmer having several acres could not pick small
sections where the crop seems to be the best ana
combine these to make acre.
Record of the cultivation, analysis OF fertilizer
used spraying, etc. to be given in writing to your
representative at the time the potatoes are dug
By this means | hope to get some information
that will be of practical value to the farmers of this
section showing how best to manage crop OF po-
tatoes to get the best results.
When your representative has finished weighing,
he shall send his report your Secretary and when
all reports are in they shall be examined by com
mttee of three appointed by YOU and the result
as announced by them shall be hnal.
ANY farmer may enter three plots of one acre each
if he so desires, but in that the variety OF po-
tatoes cultivated may be different, but the method
of cultivation and other conditions must be similar
for each separate plot.
Yours very truly,
GEO. FRED TERRY.

When Homer Davenport came to
New York he brought with him
large heart, a long head, ana a sharp
pencil. He came, lover of dumb

gan a battle royal against the hosts
arrayed against what he considered
right, justice, truth, real manhood.
Davenport Is a natural born cartoon
maker. His part in the worlds work
was predestined, foreordained. He is

TO apply strictly and forcibly to Homer
Davenport let the last sentence read
Never till his time has so much I'M

R|PL|NGER TOOK THE DRAFTS
Ascending Ex-Gomptro||er Of Seat
lie Is Being Chased

SEATTLE, May 14.-John Riplinger,
defaulting former comptroller Of Seat
tie, left soon after he relinquished his
office, with a wallet full of currency
and bank drafts and checks. City
Treasurer Russell has discovered that
Riplinger bought a draft for $500 from
local financial Institution drawn upon
a San Francisco bank. He purchased
the draft on the very day ne cashed
the check for $4,000, drawn by the In
dependent Asphalt Paving company. 1t
is believed that he went to several of
the local banks and purchased drafts
which he could cash in the south.
10 get further into Riplngers meth
DDS, the treasurer will examine the
bank books showing Riplinger's per-
sonal account prior to his first term as
comptroller.
Manager Allen of the National Sure
ty Company said to the city officers to-
day that if Riplingers shortage was
proved by the investigation of the ex-
perts the amount due the city would
be promptly paid.
On the ground that the cost would
be exorbitant; that citizens do not
want it, and it would take too long to
perform the work, several members of
the council will protest against
the report Of the finance committee
wherein it is recommended that the
books of the city be exported for the
last IA wears as a result of the Rip
linger shortage.
Council members and city officials
were communicated with today by
members of the Seattle Commercial
club, the Chamber of Commerce and
the Civic Union and by private citizens
asking that taxpayers money be not
expended for what is regarded as a
useless work.
Laws of Washington provide that in
case of defalcatiOn the embeZzler. if his
crime has not been unearthed within
three years. during which time he has
had continuous residence in the state,
cannot be prosecuted criminally.
in view of the existence of such a
law. there is no necessity whatever for
exporting all books of the city for a
period farther back than four years.
It is estimated that the work of
checking all accounts of the city for
this uerioi would cost from $4,000 to
$50. 600. and would take from one co
two wears The people want immediate
results They 10 not care particularly
to know, it is asserted. that there was
small shortage II years ago ana
that the amount cannOt be collected
through criminal proceedings. They do.
however want to know that within the
last four wears there has been no de-
falcation other than the Riplinger en-
bezzlemen+. and if the city's books are
today kept in such a manner that fur
Their defalcatiOns are not possible.

owner of the bird.
The parties are neighbOrs and one is

The merchant purchased recently a

was Of the game variety and consider
ed fine specimen, and the merchant
was proud of his acquisition.
The attorney was not interested un-
til the ROSTERS voice began to develop
Then the lawyer demonstrated with the
merchant. The rooster. he said, made
so much noise in the early hours Of the
morning that the attorneys rest was
disturbed. The merchant was not i'm
pressed. The remonstcances were re-
peated. and a GOODNESS grew up between
the neighbors.
At length, tho.o i"h.v aroused at the
merchants Indifference to his health
and comfort, the attorney invested ir

morning slew the rooster.
The merchant was furious and g
fight was prevented by Mrs. Merchant

COAL MEN Buck|NG ICE MEN
Demand Winter Rates for Fuel in
Seattle

SEATTLE, May 14.-Without an
nouncing the usual summer reduction
in the price of coal, wholesale and re-
tail dealers throughout the city are
urging consumers in Seattle to lay in
their next winters supply Of fuel dur
ing the summer months, for no other
reason than that the delays occasioned
by the great demand for coal last win
ter will probably be repeated next
year.
Wholesalers and shippers will not
even intimate that the price of coal
will be higher the coming fall and WIN
ter than now, nor will they promise
that there will be the usual reduction
of so cents a ton during the summer
months, as an inducement for house
holders to fill their bins months in ad-
vance of any real demand for fuel.
A recurrence of last winters scram-
BILE for coal is held up as the only logi-
cal reason for urging the purchase of
coal now for next winters consump-
ton, at prices fixed last fall, showing
an increase of so per cent. over prevail
ing prices of two years ago, with an
advance in the wages Of miners of not
exceeding 10 per cent.
All of the coal used in Seattle is
mined in the state of Washington. and
the last advance in the price to retail
ers went into effect last fall. when Car
bonado coal was advanced 1925 a ton
making the price at the bunkers, 81;
Black Diamond was advanced from
$4.75 to Sc, and RentOn and Newcastle
lump and nut was raised 81 a ton
bringing the bunker price to $3.50 for
lump and $3.75 for nut.
These winter prices prevail at the
present time and none of the shippers
appear to be in a position to say
whether the usual 50-cent reduction
during the summer will become effec-
tive this year or not.
This increase of from 81 to 1925 a
ton seems to have been made on the
the wages paid to miners, who have
not had an increase since the new
scale of prices went into effect, so far
as can be learned.
The advance in prices last fall was
accomplished without any organiza
ton or understanding between mine
owners and shippers. At least this is
claimed by those engaged in the ship
ping business. They are a unit in de-
claring that there is no organization OF
either mine owners. shippers or whole
salers, and that each company fixes its
prices without any reference to other
firms or corporations. Retail dealers
