Commissioner A. w Gilman of the
department of agriculture was at his
office in the State House Friday on his
weekly visit to the department and
was busy with the affairs relating
thereto. Commissioner Gilman said. in
speaking of the potato crop, that the
crop in Central Maine was Il bountiful
one, and that the yield had been some
thlng unusual The average yield per
acre of potatoes for the state of Maine
is 20 bushels, which is high compared
with the average yield OF the United
States, which is abou: 100 bushels. and
that of New. York. which is little less
than 100 bushels, hut some of the
Maine fields this year have run away
ahead of the average in this section
OF Maine above mentioned. Mr. Gilman
said that in the section about Foxcroft
where his home is located, the crop had
been Il fine one with the exception of
where fields here located on low land
and near rivers, in which places the
potatoes suffered. One of the potato
fields in FoNcroft where the yield was
unusually large was that of Calvin S.
Green, one of the progressive farmers
OF mat section. Mr.. Green planted Il
held OF II acres of potatoes, using
commercial fertilizers, and the yield
was 35I bushels to the acre, or 1874
bushels higher than the average for
the state. And there were several
other farmers in that vicinity, said the
commissioner, who did equally we'll.

A Wrong Notion
ECZEMA NOT A BLOOD DISEASE.

Eczema, the most common OF all skin
disorders, is no longer considered a
blood disease by the best physicians.
Internal medicines and physics are
practically useless in treating it. EX-
ternal remedies used heretofore have
frequently been beneficial, but the per
manent cure of eczema was long
thought to be impossible 1t was this
deplorable condition that inspired the
chemist who discovered the new rem
edy Cadum. Since Cadum was intro
duced a short time ago. experience has
shown that long treatments with it
are unnecessary, two or three weeks
being usually sufficient for an ordi-
nary case of eczema. ~ single appli-
cation will entirely subdue the itching.
and will also accomplish wonderful
results in ringworm. itch, acne. scab
les, itching piles, chatting. boils, in
famed skin, red and infiamed noses,
pimples. blaclkheads, etc. Where the
disease presents an unsightly appear
ance. the thin coating of Cadum al
most conceals the sore. The gratlfy-
ing results which have attended the
use of Cadum in the treatment OF &C.
Zema and other skin diseases warrant
the belief that there never has before
been introduced to the public such an
efficient and perfect product as Cadum.
1t is free from all poisonous and dam
gerous mixtures Every ingredient for
which a standard of purity is set by
the Pharmacopoeia, complies with the
standard. so as to secure the great eff
cacy which this new remedy possesses.

Shaw for the custody of her son, II
years old, given to his father in a di-
vorce decree in 1906, separating her
from David Clemmons, petitioner since
marrying Charles f. Shaw of Houlton.
The petitioner claimed that the father
was not a proper person to care for
the son, as he was addicted to the use
of liquor and was immoral. ClemmOns
retaliated by claiming that Mrs. Shaw
was not proper person to care for
the boy and produced several witnesses
in his behalf. The boy testified that
he got enough to eat and wear, but he
thought he was unduly punished some

DESCRIBES LOOTING
OF FREIGHT BOXES
Eorr,.r Warehouse Foreman Bought NO
Clothes for Two Years-Seoie
From Cars.

PENDLETON, Ore, March IL
That neither himself, Frank j. Ely, nor
William Edwards has been compeiieo
to buy clothing during the last TWO
wears was the burden of the story that
was told by Charles Dickens, former
O. r. & N. warehouse foreman, on the
witness stand this morning. The occa-
sion was the preliminary hearing OF
Ely and Edwards on charge OF steal
ms, freight from the freight depot and
box cars.
Shoes, shirts and underwear were
the principal articles declared to have
been stolen, though Ely is also
charged with stealing three suits OF
clothes at one time. Bottled beer, boys
express wagons and leather pillows are
also among articles which have been
taken out at intervals, he said
Dickens told how the boxes were
broken into either in the warehouse,
or freight car and the articles taken
out. In nearly every INSTANCE lhe! "ie
concealed in the building until he
could take them to their destinations
in his buggy, he declared.
All efforts of attorneys for the de-
Tense to tangle him have failed and
only resulted in additional testimony
being brought out He has not impli-
Gated any one else in the thefts so
far. O. r & NJ Detective Wood de
clares that the report of the arrest or

Reach Lewiston On the Morning

LEWISTON, Idaho, March 11-F'ur-
Their advices received yesterday give
assurances of the arrival of the
steamer Inland Empire in Lewiston
during the forenoon of March 10 in
order that the officers and crew may
participate in the celebration being
arranged to commemorate the initial
trip of the open river boat between
Lewiston and Portland
The Lewiston freight will be shipped
from Portland today and will be trans
ferred to the steamer Inland Empire
at Cello, where the portage road is
operated around the Cello rapids. A
recent examination of the Snake river
between Riparia and its mouth has
convinced the officials that little diff
Guilty will be encountered in making
the passage with the present stage of
water and it is expected the boat will
make good time on the upriver trip.
The rise in the Snake river at this
time is the result of the melting snow
on the low mountains and with the
approaching warm season the snow in
the mountains will provide a good
boating stage in the rivers until Sep
tember
A feature entering into the plans
for the open river celebration is the

BAKER CITY, Ore, March 11-A
farmers union, such as is being sue
cessfully conducted in other counties,
is soon to be organized in Baker City
among the wheat growers and the
owners of threshing outfits. A call has
been issued to the farmers of the
county to meet Saturday to effect or
ganization. Representatives of the
Oregon Threshers' association, with
headquarters in Portland, will outline
the benefits. One of the main objects
of the union will be to secure better
roads and thus enable the producers to
haul larger crops to market. While Ba-
ker county has fine roads, they could
be greatly improved by the co-opera
ton Of the farmers.
There are more than 80 threshing
outfits in Baker county, estimated to
be worth $500 each, making an aggre-

SHOW GIRL LOSES
CASE AND CUSTODY
Former American Actress Is Divorced
From Her Husband, the Laird of
kippondaire.

EDINBURGH, March 1O-The sem
sational Stirling cross divorce suits
were decided today by Lord Guthrie,
who granted the husbands petition,
awarded him the custody of his child
and denied the cross petition of Mrs.
Stirling.
John Alexander Stirling. Laird Of
k1ppondalre, was married three years
ago to Clara Elizabeth Taylor, an
American show girl who came from
New Jersey. Last fall cross suits for
divorce were filed. Mr. Stirling naming
Lord Northland, and Mrs. Stirling
naming Mrs. Atherton as correspond
ents.
In giving his judgment Lord Guth-
RE said the case had no legal interest,
and that 1t would not have any public
interest. Most of the evidence had
been taken up with the petty ques-
contained little or nothing remarkable,
romantic or that was even mock he
role. Mr.. Stirling, he said, in meeting
Mrs. Anterior, had welcomed an in
PRODUCTION he should have Stunned.
Continuing, Lord Guthrie discredited
the idea of a plot to get rid of Mrs.
Stirling by forcing her to a guilty af-
lection for Northland, but he thought
that her letters to Northland were in
dicative of guilty relations
Lord Northland's counsel immedi-
ately gave notice Of an appeal Both
Lord Northland and Mrs. Stirling were
present in court when the decision was
rendered.
