1t appears from the explanation given
by the Waterville Sentinel that the Dem
ocratic platform was intended only for
campaign purposes, unless in the unfor-
seen event of Democratic victory. The
Sentinel says: 'The Democrats did not
agree to repeal the Sturgis law unless
they were given the power to do So"
But with the Republicans in the legisla-
ture divided on this question, as they
doubtless will be, the Democrats might
have that power; but they do not pro-
pose to exercise it. This looks like play
ing the "shell game" with the unsus-
pecting voter.

IS THIS
A
SQUARE
DEAL?

That's the squarest kind OF square deal as
every fair minded man knows
But A. A. Howes & Co. can afford to make
this offer because they know that Mi-o-na tab
lets are worthy stomach remedy and that the
makers will back up the generous offer.
And so we say to all the readers of The Jour
nal suffering or aiing with any stomach trouble
to try Mi-o-na. 1t has such mighty power
and influence on the stomach that it immedi-
atelv refreshes and relieves, then invigorates
and cures
1t strengthens the stomach walls, puts the
stomach in such perfect condition that it can
digest food without pain or other distressing
symptoms. 1t cures by removing the cause,
and it removes the cause SO times in hundred.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets only costs 80
cents, and relief will come in "a hours.
"Mi-o-na tablets are truly great for anyone
that has stomach trouble. l can not praise
them too highly for what they have done for
me"-Mrs. w. D. Bennett, Bucksport, Me.

| Co., is also harvesting large field of potatoes
| and reports large yield Mr.. Peabody also
| buys potatoes at our Station, having already
| shipped several thousand bushels to Boston and
other points. We believe it is largely to his
credit that the price of potatoes was advanced
| from 45 to so cents and has remained there in
| spite of the efforts of other buyers to lower
the price. -. Fred Patterson recently dug 80
| bushels of potatoes in hours. This comes

| eight men at work repairing his buildings He
| is putting in large shed and carriage house

great convenience for him. Burton Gross,
who bought the Robert Hanson farm last
spring, is repairing his buildings and intends to
paint them later on. Several other farm
houses in town are receiving attention in the
way of paint and repairs. We are glad to
