Household Hints

FOR THOSE WHO PRESS.

When you wish to press your dark
linen frock this summer do not trust
that white ironing board will leave
no mark. You MAJ easily cover the
board for a momeu- with some dark
material-an old skirt or a bit Of lining
and when the frock is pressed this
may be removed ami kept till the next
time
You know the appearance OF a dark
gown with splotches Of white lint upon
IT, Il Is TO avoid just thcse that the
dark cover should be used. Also, il Is
Just as necessary TO mOisten the dark
linen with a patch of its own material,

Blessing Awaits
Children's Helpers.
Irrespective OF religion or religious
creeds. the man or woman who gets
right down to the vitals of these little
children, touching their lives with the
finger of sympathy and human feeling:
understanding their need and meeting
IT, is the man or woman whom the Di-
vine teller Of human fortunes cannot
fail to bless.
Stretch out hands that are tender to
these children who need you: hands
that hold help to the hospital which is
sheltering them that, II least, their
suffeTings may be palliated-
The radiance of those children s.
faces as they peered smiingiy above the
lOyeliness of the flowers makes me feel
that the Mystic Flower contest was a
million times worth while
IF you can see the picture in your
own mind ! am sure you will enter the
new flower contest with still greater
enthusiasm than you entered that Of last
week.

reflected in the press sustains Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his contention that
the secret service should be made in
the largest possible degree, available
for the prevention of crime and the de-
lection of criminals. Any attempt to
circumscribe it's activities in these di-
rections will be blow to good govern
mcnt The indications are that Con-
gress will take this view of the matter
and will act favorably upon the Presi-

centralized under one department and
rendered available for the uses of the

Not So Mad After All.
portland ExpreSS,)

One feature of the Presidential-COn-
gressional row has not been given gen
eral publicity. Back in the homes or
the people the warfare that has been
carried on, that is still echoing through
the papers, seems to be more bitter
than a law suit over a line fence. or
the lamentations Of a man who has
been beaten in a horse trade. The
common people take their quarrels,
when they are unfortunate enough to
have any, seriously, and they cannot
fancy a matter so far reaching as
the differences between our great
statesmen as being anything but seri
Gus. But here is the other side OF the
picture. Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt gave
other night. 1t was the DAY the Presi-
Dental rebuke was administered by
the House. The young people, ii
should be explained, ranged in age
from real youth to three score and
ten. There was a dance in the East
Room for Miss Ethel Roosevelt follow
ing the dinner. The guest OF the even
ing was Speaker Cannon. All day long
the waves of indignation had rolled
about the Speakers chair, because OF
the Presidential messages. The Con-
gress lad been abused. and it did not
mean to stand for it. Speeches of bit
terness had been spoken and the
newspaper reporters had worked hard
si] day to get to the persplrng public
a just and full account of all the in
dignation that Congress relt and all
the explosive anger which the Presi-
dent felt, a part of which had been
que to the fact that letter he had
written Mr.. Cannon months before
had been suppressed. From the midst
Of this turmoil Mr. Cannon had to hur-
ry to get to the dinner. The Congress
was so intent upon showing how much
it resented the Presidential action that
it held it's session late. Mr. Cannon
stuck to his task Of presiding, and
sent a messenger to telephone to his
home to have his evening clothes
brought to the Capitol. When finally
the session of indignation and hurt
was over the Speaker FASTENED TO his
private room in the Capitol. dismissed
his attendants, and proceeded to in
vest himself with his dinner garments,
tying his own cravat, and chasing his
own collar button, il it fell off and
went under some particularly heavy
| article of furniture. Dressed in haste,
he jumped into carriage and was
| rapidly driven to the other end Of
Pennsylvania avenue, where he was
greeted with much amiability, and
enjoyed perfectly delightful evening
with the other young people who were
present. And while he was about it
the people all over America were de-
vouring the evening papers and COIN
| nenting upon the possible result Of all
this artagonism between the President
ana Congress.

Raise Potatoes.
ellsworth American.)

\TLllS WI III
Arrangements are being made for a
farmers institute to be held in Ellis
worth in March, when Commissioner Of
Agriculture A. W.. Gilman and some
practical potato-grower from Aroos-
took county, will address the farmers
of this section in regard to potato rails
ing
The institute will be devoted solely
to this topic with the view Of instruct
ing and interesting the farmers of
Hancock county in the potato industry
OH a large scale. The matter was set
on foot by H. r Maddocks, of North
Ellsworth, and is being promoted by
the Ellsworth board of trade.
There is no reason why potatoes
cannot be raised here as successfully
as in Aroostook county. This has al
ready been demonstrated, and farmers
in many sections of Hancock county
have during recent years gone more eX-
tcnsively into potato raising. At North
Ellsworth this year more potatoes were
raised than ever before, and that sec
ton this fall shipped it's first carload
of potatoes.
There is no trouble in finding mar
ket. A prominent Ellsworth business
concern stands ready to erect pota-
to house and buy and ship potatoes as
soon as the product of this section
will warrant it.
Commissioner Gilman, himself a
successful potato grower, says there Is
no reason why farmers of this section
should not reap some of the golden
harvest which for years has been flow
ing into Aroostook county as returns
from its potato crop
