RESIDENCE OF A. E. HODGES RocKEMEKA FARM THoRNDKE

parent and fine view was had from any
direction. Going up on hill back OF the
house the view was simply superb. For
young, ambitious couple, eager to find
an adequate location to begin their life
work Alright, to see such charming loca-
ton with so many great possibilities was
to fall in love with it, and the purchase
followed as natural consequence.
Today Rockemeka Farm offers most
fascinating proposition. Here is an am
bilious young man, bred to know what
hard work MEANS and aided by a COM
panion who will not be backward in keep
ing up her end of the labor and response
bility The farm is all that could be
desired. 1t cut 70 tons of hay last year
and can easily be made to double that
quantity. Three acres of potatoes yield
ed $50 bushels, 200 acres are in pasturage
and 20 acres are cultivated. Mr.. Hodges
has plan by which he will double his
pasturage, as he wants to carry Hol-
stein herd of so cattle. He has good
herd of grade Jerseys and Gurnseys, but
thinks he will like the black and whites
best He is now in the market for full
FLOODED male.
Mr.. Hodges is a great believer in
farm garden. When student at Coburn
Classical Institute he boarded at home
and had garden that was a marvel to
all. This paper had an article concerning
it and noted the fact that among other
crops Mr.. Hodges harvested 100 bushels
of first-class onions. He will have a full
acre in his garden the coming season, 10
acres in grain, 8 in corn and IL in pota
toes. He raises the Sanford Dent corn to
fill his silo, and two acres are devoted to
sweet corn for the factory. On seven
acres of oats last year he harvested 300
/ bushels of the best oats ever put in a bin.
AS will be seen by the accompanying
pictures the buildings are numerous and
ample. One barn is 95x45, with sheep
barn 40x65, and fine stable recently
erected 30x40.
He is to breed Shropshire sheep and
White Wyandotte hens, and is sure of
success with both, as he not only has a
good place to keep them, but has good
foundation stock to start with.
. Mr.. Hodges is old-fashioned enough to
like a pair of young cattle to do the
toughest work. He recently bought a
growthy pair Of young oxen that are
very handy" and capable of doing a
lot of work in the woods. He also has a
pair Of fresh young Western horses that
weigh 5000, and grand good pair of
reliable workers.
He will cut and market about 900 cords
of good wood this winter, and the lumber

ANOTHER WALDO COUNTY MAN.

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL:
have been unearthed by The Journal.
Daniel Carey and wife and Luetta Bean,
formerly of Liberty but now of Boston,
We're surprised to learn from my letter in
your valuable paper that we lived within
five miles of each other. Mr.. Carey i'm
mediately wrote me of his whereabouts
and we met today in Lis new quarters,
where he is now employed, the Common
wealth Trust Co., So Summer street,
Boston. Like many other good men
raised in Maine Mr.. Carey emigrated to
Boston when a young man and was not
long making himself so useful that the
city government wanted him for police
officer, in which capacity he served faith
fully for thirty-three years and three
months. So good an officer was he that
the changes in the city government didn' t
change him and he served until retired on
account of the age limit with pension of
| 5000 year. While Mr.. Carey is now 63
years old time rests so lightly on his
shoulders that he looks good for CEN
fury, and not wanting to rust out he
accepted place as officer in this new
and elegant Commonwealth Trust Co. at
a good salary. Mr.. Carey has been an
economical liver and today is above want,
and could easily retire without any more
work. We had completely lost track Of
each other until he saw my letter, which
shows the value of personals in the fam
lily newspaper. Mr.. Carey, when on the
police force of Boston, could be seen
every day, rain or shine, at the corner of
Washington and Court streets safe
guarding peo1 le across that busy corner,
and no doubt will be remembered by a
large number of your readers.

JAPAN GUARDS AGAINST PAPER
FAMINE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S. The
Japanese also have looked over the con-
tents of their industrial stores and have
decided that something must be done to-
ward conserving their remaining supplies
of raw material for paper making.
In Japan, paper is used for almost
everything from the silver-figured parti-
tons of the Buddhist temple to the rude
hut walls of the laborer; from the silk
like vestments of the priest down to the
rain-proof shield of the traveller. In
fact, the ingenuity of the japanese is
only matched by the varieties OF uses to
which paper may be adapted.
The work of the United States Govern
ment toward determining the amount OF
paper materials used and the source OF
future supply, is being followed by the
Japanese, according to an advice from U.
S. Consul John H. Snodgrass, at Kobe.
The imminence of the danger is apparent
from the fact that the japanese authorl-
ties have requested the paper mills de-
partment of the Mitsu Bishi Kaisha to
take over some 7, 800 acres of the bamboo
forests of Formosa.
1t is known that the bamboo tree has
been the raw material from which the
Japanese have recently made the larger
portion of their products; 50 it is thought
that, by introducing the improved meth
DDS of forest cultivation and harvesting,
this tract of woods will furnished yearly
10, 100000 bamboos, adapted for CONVEX
sion into paper pulp.
No matter whether the paper company
will establish its mills in Formosa or ship
the bamboo to Japan in partly tlnlshed
state, the development of this new source
Of raw material will be high Importance
and may overcome the necessity OF the
Island Empire looking to foreign coun-
tries for the future supply of paper pulp.

Because your case is difficult one,
doctors having done you no good,
do not continue to suffer without
giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial. 1t surely has cured
many cases of female ills, such as in
fammation, liberation, displacements,
fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, that bearing-down
feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner-
vous prostration. 1t costs but trife
to try it, and the result is worth mil
lions to many suffering women.

Rockemeka Farm, Thorndike.
This Noted Farm with New Proprietor
From Turf, Farm and Home.1

Forty-three years ago Mr.. c. H. White,
one of the best known farmers of Waldo
county, began his career on what was
then known as the Coffin farm, in the
centre of the town of 1horndike. 1t had
been first taken up by Mrs. Whites
grandfather, Simeon Coffin, who passed
it down to his son Isaac, who in. turn
handed it down to his daughter and her
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. White. Those
who went before him had erected ample
buildings, with the exception of modern
stable, which was erected some few
years ago across the street from the
house and barns. Although Mr.. White
is far from "a broken down man. he
realizes that he is by no means as young
as he once was, and year ago he decided
that a smaller place would suit him far
better and be in all ways much more
satisfactory.
Accordingly a purchaser was sought
for the historic old farm, and the search
proved to be a brief one, for when fine
farm Of 500 acres heavily wooded, located
right in the heart of the best potato

SOLDIERS FIGHT
ON A TRANSPORT

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-Shuftle-
boards and quoits were too tame for
the crowds on the army transport
Thomas, which arrived here yesterday
from Manila so a prize fight was ar
ranged To make it more interesting
a negro was pitted against white man
and when the referee at the end of
the sixth round declared the contest
a draw the white man was taken to
the hospital, where two ribs, broken
by the smokes fists in the second
round, were glued into place with adj
hesive bandages.
The principals in the fight were
Demon, Martin, a husky trooper OF
the Ninth cavalry, said to be broth
er of Denver Ed Martin the colored
pugilist, and Edward Conklin, sail
ors' messboy on the Thomas In the
second round Martin smashed Conk-
Inns ribs but the white man was al
lowed to go on and managed to stay
on his feet for four more rounds.
Demon Martin whipped the cham
pion of the Philippine Islands shortly
before the Ninth left Manila. Ills
fellow troopers backed him heavily,
and they all had money to burn when
the Thomas started for home. They
might have had it yet if somebody
hadn't rolled a handful of dice across
the deck, and even at that it would not
have been so bad if the crap game
had beel limited to the troopers The
v alters and messboys were invited to
1oll the bones and ythe time the
prize fight was arranged the colored
sports had nary a dollar to bet on
their champion On the other hand
The walters and messboys didn't care
very much whether the cabin passen-
gers tipped them or not.
As one of them put it, I'VE didn't
do a ting to dem smokes
