POTATO is THE KING.
ArOOstoOk Farmers Expect to Clear
About $24, 100000 This Year.

ABOUT S@4,OOO,OOO InS Year.
The potato is king in Aroostook
county, Maine. Fully $12,00O,000
has been cleared by the farmers in
that one county on the potato crop
of 1908, the total shipments to mar
ket-having been 100000 bushels.
This year every piece of land that
will grow a potato has been planted
and the estimate for the 1909 crop
is 100000. If prices hold good it
is thought the AroOstook farmers
will clear not less than $24,0OO,O0O
after keeping all the potatoes they
need for home use. The price of
potato land has advanced 80 to so
per cent, and the market is strong,
even at such prices.
The banks in the county simply
are gorged with potato money. Au-
to-plOws and disk harrows are be-
ing purchased by the carload lot.
Train after train, loaded down with
supplies for the potato growers, is
moving up the line into Aroostook
county The prosperity is not with
out its drawback, however, because
the price of farm labor has advanced
to civil war rates, and the county is
being overrun with automobile and
piano agents. They are pleading
with the farmers wives and daugh-
ters and insist that with fortunes
made it is necessary to have music in
the home and autos in the roads.

RICHEST WESTERN FARMERS
RIVER BRETHREN LIVE UP TO
THEIR TRADITIONS AND
GROW PROSPEROUS.

The richest and most influential
class of residents in central Kansas,
having the best farms and the largest
crops of any of the western farmers,
are the children of the River Breth-
rem, who 80 years ago went from
Pennsylvania to the middle west.
Their big white houses scattered over
the prairies are modelled after the
old Pennsylvania homesteads, the
former homes Of most of the older
members of the western colony.
Their barns are red and their houses
are white. Their horses are sleek
and their cattle take first place in the
market.
The River Brethren went to Kan
sas intelligently, but they went to
preserve their traditions. Their
homes show this. Not a gable is
shown for looks and never a flaring
weather Vane. The discipline says
1T is inconsistent to put up lightning
rods; hence none appears.
In business life they hold t-wrong'
to foreclose a mortgage on a brother
or oppose him in any way. 1t is per-
mltted, however, to take a mort
gage for security for debt If one
fails to meet his obligation he re-
ceives the advice and then the help
of his brothers. The latter takes
the form of a direct donation. One
instance of this was seen once when
$4,000 was contributed by the
brethren to help one of their number
out of debt
The church declares that it is a
sign of pride to have a photograph
taken, though this rule is sometimes
broken. Life insurance, secret So
cieties and divorces are unknown.
In all their Is years in Kansas there
has not been a pauper, and only one
criminal. No other class can. show
SO good a record. e.,

ton, and refuse to run for Office
or to vote. Only one member of
the church has held Office, and that.
was a school position, and his cleo
ton was SO unanimous that he was
forgiven.
They are lovers of peace and quiet,
and their great white meeting houses
are way out in the country, all of
them ten or fifteen miles from a rail-
road. The Bible, which is their
guide in all things, furnishes the
rule for several curious customs.
The men sit on one side of the
church. the women on the other, the
elders making the addresses as the
spirit moves them. When dusk has
come the older members among the
men, and the aged sisters among the
women, put on great white aprons,
and, amid song and prayer, distribute
bread and wine. A self-examination
means half hour of perfect silence,
during which all mediate presuma-
bly, upon their sins. Then the holy
kiss is passed from brother to broth
er and from sister to sister, but there
is no salutatiOn among the sexes.
One of the most notable features
of the sect is its determination to
secure the most possible out of this
worlds goods. The members do not
go to shows or circuses, but they do
dearly love to visit. Their old homes
back east are very dear to them, and
their trips to that section are among
the novel features of their life. Ev-
cry fall they take the journey. They
come INTO the towns from their
homes with big baskets of food and

More Earth Quake Shocks.

walls among the ruins of the old town,
and several of the newly elected shelter
houses, were shaken to the ground to-
day by two severe esItquake shocks
which spread consideration among the
inhabitants of the new village, which is
growing out of the ruins of the destroyed
town. TIE frat shock lasted ten seconds,
aud it caused panic among the inhabit-
ants who abandoned their home and
rushed out into the open. The lettering
walls of the old ruined quarter crashed
to the ground, throwing stones and de-
bris to great distances. Many of fhe
fleeing men and women we're struck by
falling debris and were injured, but none
fatally. The shocks were felt all over
Oalsbrin, especially at MiletO, where the
population was driven into the fields.
The shocks were felt severely at Reg
gio, where nearly every wall not thrown
down by the December quake was de-
stroyed. Earthquake shocks of minor
nature have been frequent here of late,
but today's WAS particularly severe. 1t
