MRS. ELIZABETH GILCHREST.

Elizabeth, widow of Capt. Edward
Gilchrest, died May 9th at the home of
her son, Capt. Emerson Gilchrest, in
Rockland, aged nearly So years. Her
demise marks the earthly separation of
a remarkable pair of twins, the sur
vivor being Mrs. Sarah Gilchrest of st.
George. They were born in Union,
May "a, 1928, being daughters of Philip
and Mary (Fish) Hit. Elizabeth mar
ried st. George sea captain and with
him made voyages to many ports. She
possessed a remarkable faculty of lend
ing assistance in time of sickness, and
the many homes in which she acted as
good Samaritan have abundant cause
to bless her memory. The lameness
which marked her declining years was
due to fall in which she sustained a
broken knee-cap. She possessed a
strong vein of humor and her visitors
always found themselves entertain ed.
Her sight and hearing had been but lit
tie affected by her advanced years.
Mrs. Gilchrest Joined the Baptist
church in st. George 66 years ago, and
was regular attendant SO long as she
was able to do so. She moved to this
city about nine years ago and found a
very pleasant home with her sons fam
lily. Dearly beloved by all who knew
her, this good woman has gone to a
realm of peace and happness which are
in keeping with her earthly life. She
is survived by the one son already re-
ferred to and one daughter, Mrs. John
Creighton of South Union. Monday
brief services were held at Capt. Gil
CHESTS home, prayer being offered by
Rev. W. J. Day, who also read beauti-
full poem. The interment was at St.
George, being preceded by funeral ser
vices at the First Baptist church. The
absence of Capt Gilchrest was mat
ter of additional regret. He was alb
sent on sea voyage at the time of his
mothers demise, and while loving
friends and relatives were paying their
last tribute he was still in ignorance of
his Recommendation Gazette.

BIDDEFORD CHURCH APPOINTMENT.
A Statement from Presiding Elder j W.

A Statement from Presiding Elder j W.
Hatch.
The following communication concerning
the discussion of the appointment of pas
tor of the Foss st. NJ. +. church in Bidde-
ford has been received from Rev. j. W.
Hatch, presiding elder of the Bangor dis
trict:
"Slnce articles have appeared in the pub
lie press relating to the appointment of Rev.
Norman La Marsh to FoIS Street Method
ist Episcopal church, Biddeford, by Bishop
j. w. Hamilton which have been mislead-
ing and which have placed both the bish-
OPP and Rev. La Marsh in an awk ward posi-
ton and in a false light before the people, |
feel in my duty as the presiding elder of
Mr.. La Marsh, both for his sake and for
the good name and dignified position of our
church, to set the matter right.
'ReV. X. n. JOScelyn, at the session OF
the Maine Conference of his own accord re-
quested Bishop Hamilton t. appoint him
conference evangelist instead of returning
him to the pastorate of Foss street church,
Biddeford, which request was complied
with. Rev. Norman La Marsh was trans
ferred from the East Maine Conference to
the Maine conference and appointed to FosS
street church. Biddeford. Agitation and
unrest for which Rev. La Marsh was in no
way responsible occurred in the BiddefOrd
church, which expressed desire for the re-
turn of MIR. Joscelyn, and it has been report
ed that Mr. La Marsh claimed the Bidde-
ford pulpit. According to the law of the
church, it was certainly his right to have
done SO, but he did not by any word or act,
claim that pulpit. From the first intimation
of unrest at BiddefUrd, Rev. Norman La
Marsh left the matter entirely in the hands
of the bishop, from whom he b I'd received
the appointment, and acted the part of a
fine Christian gentleman, which he is al
ways and everywhere.
Gle has been a member of the East
Maine Conference "a years, during which
time he has served some of the weaker
churches and some of the very strongest
and best churches in the conference, always
taking cheerfully the work assigned him
by the conference and performing his du-
ties with never-failing faithfulness and
efficiency.
"He is now pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Caribou, one of the most
important churches in this conference"

Presiding Elder of Bangor District.

ment Association.

The poem will be entitled the "Right of the
Line" Mrs. Packard is the widow of
Lieut.. John A. A. Packard, who enlisted as
private in Co. H, Fifth Maine, and was
promoted through every grade to first lieu
tenant. He was severely wounded at the
battle CO South Mountain, Md. He was
one of Names best soldiers. He resided
in Portland for several years after the close
of the war; He then moved to Springfield,
Mass, where he died some years ago from
the effects of his wound. There were two
sons of Lieut.. Packard who enlisted in a
Massachusetts regiment at the breaking
out of the Spanish wal, and one was instantly
killed at the charge of San Juan Hill. Mrs.
Packard will come to Maine as the guest of
the Stinson Memorial Association on the

cation. Mrs. Packard was author of the

FARM NOTES.

Cultivation should be mostly to
keep down weeds.
Stock barns should be light, dry and
we'll ventilated.
Molasses is proving to be a good
feed for farm animals, including dairy
COWS.
Dairying is the one branch in which
no man should engage who has not a
real liking for cows.
Weeds are not an enemy. They take
possession of waste places and often
pillow up the soil and make way for
the coming OF grasses.
When the potato vines are half
grown they have filled the ground
with lateral roots. Cultivate over the
roots and not through them.
The dairy COW requires five times
as much Of the carbon in her food as
of the protein because she must from
that produce both heat and energy.

THE SIN OF LANp.MuRpER.
Seriousness Of the Situation Not GEN
orally Realized.

The deterioration of fertility under
cultivation that is lacking in care for
the future Is far more noticeable In
some portions of the south than In the
middle west The Progressive Farm
er, recognizing the seriousness Of the
situation, speaks as follows:
The truth is, that Il is time now to
see that man who wears out piece
OF land sins-just as a man sins who
wears out human body with drunk
enness or dissipation. We are coming
TO the time when a man will be as
much ashamed Of owning quilted
hillside as Of owning skin-and- bones
horse. As james J. Hill. than whom
there is hardly greater American
living, declared in Washington:
North Carolina was, century
ago, one OF the great agricultural
states of the country and one OF the
wealthiest. To-day as you ride through
the south you see everywhere land
quilted by torrential rains, red and
yellow clay banks exposed where once
were fertile fields, and agriculture re-
duced because its main support has
been washed away. Millions of acres.
In places 10 the extent OF one-tenth Of
the entire arabic area, have been so
injured that no industry and no care
can restore them
And the seriousness OF this land.
murder Is not appreciated by one man
In thousand. You see an acre Of
land ruined and you say: Well, there
Is $40, 500, or $50 loss, according to
the price Of land in your community.
But the truth is, that the merely tenn
porary estimate put opon land values,
as indicated by present prices, does
not Indicate at all the far-reaching
extent of the damage. Three hun.
dred years ago you could have bought
that land from the Indians at ten
cents an acre, but II an acre of II had
been ruined then, would the damage.
as we see It now, have amounted to
only ten cents? A hundred years ago
the same land may have been worth
only a dollar an acre; but we know
now that to have ruined an acre
would have meant more than a dol.
lars loss. And so the price OF land
today is no criterion by which to
judge the damage and the sin against
posterity wrought by the man who
murders an acre OF Gods heritage to
the human race--a heritage he meant
to last as long as time itself. The ma
ton does well to give the matter seri-
GUS thought"

thin on the ground, II is there the best
berries are always found. Many plans
Of placing or spacing runners have
been tried. and nearly every grower
has his own distinctive way, which he
varies from time to time when he
thinks he has discovered something
better. II really does not matter SO
much what arrangement of the run
ners is made, provided they are given
plenty Of room. Next to spacing them
is the labor of cutting off the surplus
ones that are not needed. An early.
set. vigorous plant will send out mul.
titude of runners during the growing
season and keep 1t up till freezing
weather has stopped growth. Pinch
ing or cutting them off with knife
or scissors is slow work and requires
constant STOPPING, which is relished
neither by old nor young. This work
may be lightened as follows:
Take a worn-out hoe, says Orange
Judd Farmer, and have the blacksmith
straighten the blade on a line with
the shank. You can have It any width
the hoe will admit. For cutting around
single plants narrow blade is best;
for narrowing in the side of a row the
wider the blade the better. For mar
rowing the row an ordinary pillow
counter may be used. It may be fas-
tened to the cultivator or 1t may be
attached to handles, whetted sharp
and trundled along by hand.
After the raspberries and black
berries are through bearing is the
best time to cut out the old canes. An.
other simple instrument is also made
out OF an old hoe for this work, only
In this case the hoe blade is turned
in sickle shape. so as to catch firmly
around the cane. This allows the man
to do all the cutting while standing
erect. His left hand should be pro-
vided with a strong glove to hold the
canes and pull them out. The illustra-
ton shows how the cutter looks when
completed.

Each one of the principal ingredients

The fact is, chronic catarrh Is a dis
