The Biddeford Record wants the Maine
Democracy at its next State convention
to incorporate in its platform square
declaration in favor of the substitution
of local option law for the State pro-
hibitory system; and The Maine Demo-
crat heartily commends thus stating
plainly what has been the real end and
aim of the party for many years.

The Bureau of Industrial and Labor
Statistics recently completed an investi-
cation authorized by a resolve passed by
the last legislature to ascertain the value
and extent of all property in the State
owned by people residing outside OF
Maine and used exclusively for summer
residential or other vacation purposes.
Returns were secured from all of the 81
cities, towns and plantations in the
State, showing total of 5,097 cottages,
costing $40, 324 i66 to which 10000, 900
should be added for furnishings The
cottages owned by residents of the State,
including personal property, are valued
at s4,000,O 600, and the hotels, including
personal property, at So, 000,0 600, making
more than $40, Co., 900 invested in vacation
property in Maine. Waldo county has

In commenting on the appointment of
commission composed of three citizens
to map out the available water powers of
the State, measure up the extent of such
powers and the proportion in use; con-
slider what can be done in the construc-
ton Of storage basins to conserve and
equalize the flow throughout the year,
and study the matter of forest preserva-
ton in relation to this subject, the Bos-
ton Globe expresses the opinion that
Maine has locked the stable door after
the horse had been stolen. 1t says:
1t is we'll known that Names unused
water power is enormous, but that this
power is appreciated is also we'll known.
Mysterious men in khaki suits have been
stalking along the shores of every
stream in Maine for the past three or
four years, while the farmers looked on
and did lot of guessing. But now there
is not freckled-face farmers boy of 10
years who does not know that the khaki
man who was prowling around his favor
lite waterfall was working for the
water power trust, and that Names
river horse is already as good as out of
the stable, ready to be harnessed.
We are not disposed to believe that
the situation is so serious as the Globe
depicts it, but agree with its conclusion
that 1.-THE Maine water-power commits
sion has an opportunity to do service for
which coming Maine generations will
arise to call it's members blessed"

That the present disparity between the
cludes the possibility Of the successful
operation of southern mills is the unani-
nous opinion of the board of governors
of the American cotton manufacturers
association, which was in session at
Charlotte, N. c., last week, and COM
mittee was appointed to formulate a
curtailment agreement which every mill
in the south will be urged to sign.
Northern cotton manufacturers are in
the same position and are projecting
plans for the curtailment of work in the
cotton mills for thirty days or more
This does not mean a shut down of thirty
days. which would be a serious matter
for the operators. The proposition is,
during q period of five or six months, to
reduce the running time so many hours
per week so that in the period of five or
six months the aggregate reduction for
that period will represent a decrease in
the operations equal to 30 days. The
cause of this condition in the cotton mills
is indicated by the remark Of leading
manufacturer, who said: 1.-The whole
question comes down to the pointed
inquiry, how long will the people stand
for this gambling game that is going on
in the New York cotton exchange?''

GR|SWOLD'S RACYClE
AND HIS WHEEL DOPE
A Phoenix Man Who Trimmed the
Tentades of an Octopus.

| H. S. Griswold has one of the most
novel advertising devices in the city,
it being a large wooden imitation of
the sprocket wheel used in the Ra-
cyc.e, which bicycle Mr. Griswold has
the local agency for. The big wheel
is six feet in diameter and if set in a
bicycle built in proportion to it's size
it would look like the famous Ferris
wheel rolling down the street. The
advertising wheel is erected on the
screen porch above his place of bust
ness, % East Adams street, and is
kept in motion all day long by a little
fan motor whose speed has been re-
duced by means of a fly wheel made
of an old ordinary bike, from 1900
revolutions ped minute to one revolu-
ton of the big sproket wheel per
minute. Often Mr.. Griswold runs the
big wheel at night and that it may
attract further attention he has an
electric globe placed at one side
which is lighted and extinguished two
or three times with each revolution of
the wheel. by means of a metal cap
on the hub of the sproket wheel with
two or three breaks in it, which
makes and breaks the contact with
the electric current.
The above novel advertisement,
however, is perhaps not as notable
as the fact that Mr.. Griswold is
trust buster. He is probably the
only man in Phoenix who ever busted
a trust and he feels rather proud of
it, though it took him four years to
accomplish it. He was not trust
hunting either, but was attacked by
the octopus and engaged in the fight
really in self defense. The trust in
question is the Buffalo Neverleak Co.
If Buffalo, n. Y, manufacturers of a
fluid for use inside of rubber tires
for the Closing of punctures. The
trust is not busted to the extent that
it has been killed, but only that Mr.
Griswold pulled its fangs so ii can
bite no more. All it can do is 10
bluff. It's bite was not poisonous lin
the first place, but people were
afraid of it,
Mr.. Griswold has for years been
using a preparation for the same pur-
pose Neverleak is manufactured but
none of the constituents are the
same. 1t is a composition of his own
manufacture and he likes it better
and sees no reason why he should
not use it. The Neverleak people
claimed that nobody could put any
sort of dope into a tire without in
fringing on their patent, which they
thought covered the method of treat
ment rather than the agent employed
Four years ago they threatened to
sue him, but he paid no attention to
them. Finally that did sue him in
the United States court and the case
dragged until it was finally set for
trial May 10. On May Is the suit
was withdrawn, the compliments
having found they could not enforce
it, assuming that they never intended
to.
Mr.. Griswold says that during the
last few years the Neverleak people
i'm a similar way bluffed many

ONION CULTURE AS
A VALLEY INDUSTRY
Chicago Scotsman Seeking information
of Practical Sort.

Here is something for the special
consideration of the truck gardeners
of the valley, or those who might be
contemplating a business of that kind.
1t is an inquiry on the subject of on
ion growing for seed and is from
George Reeve of 35 and 81 River street,
Chicago. to B. A. Fowler. president of
the S. R. V. w. U. A. Mr.. Reeve, ac-
cording to his letter-head, is a grow
ers' agent and deals particularly in
onion sets and all varieties of Cali
fornia and eastern grown onion seed,
handling seed, sets, etc, by car lots if
shipments of that size are desirable.
1t is a well established fact that
more onions can be grown in this val
ley to the square yard, rod or mile,
than almost anywhere in the world.
and they are as fine looking fruit"
to the average man as anybody can
show Just what can be done in grow
ing them for seed, The Republican is
not informed, but the subject is passed
along to the soil wizards in the hope
that another new industry will be the
result of it, Mr.. Reeves letter is pub
lished below and anyone Interested
can take the matter up with him:
Chicago. May %, 1909
To the President of the Salt River Val
ley Water Users Association, Phoe-
nix. AriZ.:
Dear Sir:-I am DESTROYS of knowing
the following, viz:
Is the land in your project a good
producer of onions and onion seed?
If so, what time of the year do you
plant onions for seed, and what time
do they mature?
Are there high winds during the
time of the year the onions are grow
ing for seed that would break down
the onion stalks and spoil the crop of
seed?
Are there gardeners or farmers there
who could and would make contracts
for the growing of seed?
How is the labor situation? Is there
plenty of it and at what price?
What are the extremes of climate"
Are there any lands being home
seeded now? or being sold at reason
abel prices?
Whatever other information you
could give me would be greatly appre-
ciated.
Trusting that l am no. bothering
you too much, | am
