CHARGES REFU1ED.
Knox County Ir dignant at Partisan Charges
Warden Norton Popular and Efficient.

| In order to ascertain just how much
| truth there was iii The various stories
that have been printed by the Demo
cratic press liz relation to the Maine
State prison, Kennebec Journal re-
| porter made canvass of prominent
business men of Knox county, with the
result that Warden Norton is absolute
| ly freed from the charges against his
( management of the institution.
Nothing could be found that tended
| TO show any Encouragement, cruelty,
or abuse OF the convicts. And oil the
| other hand everything showed HUI
| name administration, with a regard
shown for the convict's welfare that is
not found in many of our larger prisons
throughout the country.
1t was found that the stories of local
competition with county and State in
dustries was absolutely false, that no
effort is made to sell manufactured ar.
ticles that are turned out" by local
manufacturers and dealers. Articles
are made at the prison in order to sup
port the prison, and they are only sold
these men are not travelling statesmen.
but located dealers throughout the
State.
A certain amount of gain must be de-
rived from convict labor in order to sup
port the institution, otherwise the tax
payers of the State would have to con-
tribute largely in this direction. War
den B. y. Norton has demonstrated
during the past two years that this in
stitutiOn can be made to ''pay" to
much better extent than has ever be-
fore been accomplished, thus relieving
the States taxpayers of previously
heavy burden.
There was found to be no opposition
to the Warden's methods beyond a few
men who had been either discharged or
given chance to resign, and they are
doubtless responsible for any criticism
that may have been made Of the pres
ent management.
Only the heartiest and best of feeling is
manifested by Knox county merchants
and citizens in general toward the war
den; his policy has been to hold office
with dignity. The so-called state
ments' represented to have emenated
from his Office have been.greatly magni-
fed, and advantage has been taken of
the good natured tone with which re-
porters have been received at the prison
office. Warden Norton and Clerk
Brown have established a record for
courtesy, in addition to their unques-
able knowledge Of the PRISONS affairs.

TO CONTROL PRICES
OF FARM PRODUCTS
Society of Equity viii Dis
CuSS Plans.

INDIANOPOLIS, IND, October 10.
-(SpeciaD With the object of con-
trolling the prices of all the agricul-
tural products of the country, dele
gates from thirty-eight states, rep
resenting a present membership of
100000 farmers, will assemble in In
dianapolis next Tuesday for the fifth
annual convention of the American
Society of Equity.
Already the society has succeeded
in greatly raising the price of tobac-
co and other minor products, and
plans will be completed at the pres
ent meeting to extend it's influence
over all commodities raised on the
farm and in the orchard and garden.
Great gains have been made in the
last year and the officers of the or
ganization are now predicting that
within a year one million active farm
ers in the central west will be band
ed together in an offensive and de-
fensive warfare for higher prices.

SWEET POTATO
VINE "a FEET LONG

On lot in the rear of his resi-
dence No. 700 Gilmore street. Mr.. w.
l. Craps has grown sweet potato
vine which when measured yesterday
in the Times Recorder office was a
trife under "a feet in length. The
vine has not fully matured and had
it been left in the patch would have
added a foot or two more before nip
ped by frost So luxuriant is the
growth of the vines that they must
be clipped at frequent intervals to
permit of cultivation.
The potato is a variety known as
the long shank yam, the species hav-
ing been brought from Triton by Mr..
Craps. 1t yields politically. 1t is
estimated that the proportionate
crop acre, based on the fraction of
an acre which Mr.. Craps has plant
ed, would be about 700 bushels. At
prevailing prices an acre would net
the producer nearly $500.

Marketing System.

In his annual address, ]. A. EVeritt,
president and founder of the society,
will recommend the establishment of
a marketing system for the society,
whereby its members may dispose of
their products direct to the consum-
ers in the large cities, thus eliminat-
ing middlemen. Up to this the efforts
of the society have been largely di-
rected toward education and organiza-
ton, and it is now said to be in a
position to install a machine for
marketing that will bring home to
members the material benefits that
such plan promises.
THE present convention will be
the most noteworthy gathering of
the agricultural interests of the ma
ton ever held, declared President
Everitt. Eve are now in a position
to bring to the farmers of the coun-
try material benefits that will open
the eyes of all of them.

PROGRESS IN
AERIAL NAVIGATION
Great Problem Is GOinq
Against The Wind.


point, at least in Germany, says a
Berlin dispatch, where many of the
most prominent investigators are
asking themselves in which direction
they shall pursue their experiments.
The problem of steering is satisfac-
torily solved, but there remains the
important question of the conquest
of the contrary currents of the air,
and this raises the issue between the
advocates of lighter than air" and
heavier than air..
Balloons inflated with gas are gem
orally regarded here as having near
ly, if not quite, attained the final stage
of their possibilities, which, although
marvellous in comparison with a few
years ago, still leaves much to be
accomplished before it can be said
that the air is mastered.
The greatest speed attained, and this
applies also to French balloons, has
not exceeded about % miles an hour,
and at that rate would be driven
backward in a strong wind Even the
Zeppelin balloon, which is credited
with speed of 80 or "a miles an
hour, would do little more than hold
its own.
The cigar-shaped balloon main
tains favor, but the material of con-
struction is varied. In Zeppelin's
balloon the envelope is entirely alum
mum covered with silk and rubber;
in the military airship the lower por-
tion of the main body of the envelope
is of metal covered with silk and rub
Der and the ends and upper portion
of ordinary balloon material; Parse
walls balloon is entirely composed of
flexible material.
The Zeppelin, even after the es-
cape of considerable gas, retains it's
shape and is able to proceed. Count
Zeppelin's further trials are awaited
with great interest, for if he can
maintain a speed of "a miles an
hour, as he declares he can, meteoro-
logical averages show that he could
sail through the air on an average
of 80 out of every 100 days. Only
on ten out of 100 days does the wind
exceed 80 miles an hour.
At high altitude the balloon would
be able to pass over an enemy's camp
without running much danger, ow-
ing to its construction in II or Is
entirely separate compartments.
Even should several compartments
be pierced by shot and collapse, the
metal envelope would not change it's
shape and the voyage could be con-
tinued
The Parseval balloon, which has
shown wonderful powers of nayiga-
ton in calm weather, has in the en-
velope containing the gas two bal
looms, one in front, the other in
the rear, which, when one or the other
is pumped full of air by the motor,
change the equilibrium and permit
the bahoon to ascend or descend in
oblique direction.
The only serious German expert
menter thus far with flying machines
HEAVIER than air" is Herr Karl Jatho,
of Hanover. He has constructed an
aeroplane composed of six sails-a

mainsail, two vertical fixed sails-a
wind propeller and a basket or plat
form carrying a twelve-horse power
motor. The equilibrium of the aer-
oplane is maintained by the horizont-

Prices Not Advanced.

BY securing better prices for the
growers of farm products it does not
mean that the consumer will have
to pay advanced prices for his sup
plies. On the contrary, it is our in
tention to eliminate some of the toll
gates that now stand between the pro-
Queer and the consumer. The mid
dlemen are now getting more than
they are entitled to- Our society in
tends to divide some of the middle
mems profit in an equitable manner
between the producer and the consum-
err"
The plan of the society is to con-
troll the supply of agricultural pro-
ducts in the hands of the first owners
and hold it until the price demanded
is paid. Up to this time the most ag-
gressive work has been done in sec
lions of the country producing large
ly of a certain crop, as in the tobacco
districts of Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia.
At present meeting minimum sell
ing prices will be established on all
farm products and the members will
then pladge themselves to hold their
stores until the market price reaches
the coveted figure. Already the So
ciety has established commission
houses in st. Louis and Kansas City,
