Cook that he had reached the goal which
had been the object of so many fruit
less quests. Then, on Monday, like a
clap of thunder out of clear sky,
came the news from Peary that he
had nailed the Stars and Stripes to
the North Pole; that his good ship
Roosevelt, Maine-built and we'll named,
was all right and on the homeward voy-
age. In day or two we are promised
the story of his achievement, to be trans
mitted from the far north by wireless to
where it can be telegraphed and cabled
to the world at large. DR.. Cook is al
ready where he has every facility for
communicating the details Of his dash for
the pole, for which the public is expect
antly waiting. For some time at least
these two Arctic explorers will have the
floor, or rather the press; and if it proves
that two Americans have succeeded in an
undertaking in which so many have fail
ed we shall have double cause for re-
joicing.

NOW ON STRIKE
Millions of Stomachs Refuse to Do Their
Work Properly.

All over this broad land millions of stomach
owners are being held in humiiating subsection
just because they are so stubborn that they
will not accept a fair, square and broad minded
offer.
Life is short for all of us; it will be shorter
for those who let their stomachs go from bad
to worse.
A. A. Howes & Co. have famous prescrip-
ton called Mi-o-na, and they believe so thor
oughly in its remarkable curative power that
they say to every owner of distressed stomach
that they will guarantee Mi-o-na tablets to
cure acute or chronic indigestion and all stom-
ach ailments or money back, and the price is
only so cents box.
And still there are stubborn people right
here in Belfast who won't accept this offer,
but continue to suffer from gas on stomach
belching of sour food, stomach palms, foul
breath, dizziness, biliousness and headaches,
just because-just because-thats all, there is
no other reason.
Mi-o-na tablets stop dyspeptic agony in five
minutes; they cure obstinate cases of indiges-
ton, and turn the old stomach into new one
in few weeks, or money back.

In list recently published of the members
of the class of 1909 of the Bangor Theological
Seminary, in which mention is made of their
location and future work. we find this mention
of Mr.. Hiwale, who while attending the school
in Bangor lectured in the North church mis-
sionary meetings several times:
Not few who made the acquaintance of
Armand S. Hiwale, of the class of 1907 will be
pleased to know that he graduated from Bow
dom last June, was later ordained in Boston,
and goes back to India in the fall to assist the
famous missionary of the American Board
Rev. DR.. R. A. Hume, of Ahmederagar.
Bangor will be represented in the mission field
this fall by three new missionaries and their
wives, there being only four others of her
graduates now at work in the field.

A recent issue of the Saturday Even
ing Post contained an article entitled "a
Nation of Shopkeepers. What an Amer
lean Merchant is Doing for it in Lon
don." No name is given, as that would
have savored too much of advertising,
but about the time the Post appeared we
received a pamphlet souvenir to COM
memorate the opening of Selfridges,
March Is, 1909, containing reproductions
in miniature of full-page advertisements
which appeared in the daily papers of
London between March 18th and 22nd.
These advertisements were designed by
distinguished artists in black and white,
whose "names are famous the world
over in the domains of modern art, " and
occupying full page must have made a
decided impression in London. One OF
the advertisements contains this quota
ton from Longfellow:
We have not wings, we cannot soar;
But we have feet to scale and climb
By slow degrees, by more and more,
The cloudy submits of our time.
The article in the Saturday Evening
Post, and the advertisements, themselves
give interesting particulars of this inva-
sion of the London shopping world by
American capital. To begin with, de-
sirable lot on Bond street, one of Lon
don's shopping centers, was secured, the
buildings on it removed and a modern
structure erected of as many stories in
height as the building laws of the city
permitted and with three stories under
ground. The business is that of drapery
outfitting, clothing, etc., and comprises
more than one hundred departments.
The building includes all the conveniences
included in the great department stores
of this country-a reception hall, library,
silence room, first-aid ward, parcel and
cloak room, post and telegraph Office,
railway and steamer booking Office, the
alter booking Office, etc. There is nc
charge of any kind, nor are gratuities
permitted to attendants. There is ar
"All-British staff" but an American
head, and the employees number twelve
hundred. There is evidently abundant
capital behind this enterprise, and there
can be little doubt as to it's success.

S. L. Wall spoke in very earnest manner
from Matthew, 1870: "But when he saw the
wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning
to sink, he cried, saying Lord, save me-" Good
music was rendered by Mrs. George P. Hig-
gins, Mrs. Mabel Farwell, Miss Hattie Gilliatt,
o. J. Parsons and Fred R. Cole, Mrs. Cole pre-
siding at the organ. Had the weather been
fair Sunday there would have been a full
house, but the rain descended in torrents, the
''wind was boisterous," and the people were
afraid of getting wet, SO there was no service
during the day and the cakes and pies prepar
ed to satisfy the inner man will become some
what stale ere they are disposed of. Rev. S.
c. Whitcomb was entertained at Charles

Reports received by the Massachusetts
board of agriculture indicate that the
apple crop in that State will be below
the average. A leafet issued by the
board says ''Apples will be an even
lighter crop than was anticipated, the
drop having been particularly severe,
and in many cases the drouth having so
affected the trees that the apples will be
understood" In this vicinity the pros
poets fer at least an average crop appear
to be good, with the exception of Bald
wins.

The Withholding of the State stipend
from the Topsham fair last season, and
the general demand for the elimination
of Objectionable features from these an
nual farmers festivals, seem to have had
their effect Of the Central State fair
in Waterville it is said: ''The feature
which stands out this year is the i'm
provement in the shows on the midway.
The shows are all of the best variety,
none of the cheaper outfits which have
had a place in the larger fairs for sew
eral years being on the grounds" There
were very large number of race horses
on the grounds and the section devoted
to the exhibits of cattle and sheep was
crowded from morning to night. The
educational value of rightly conducted
agricultural fairs cannot be overesti-
mated and their field for usefulness in
this direction can be greatly extended
by we'll directed effort.
A striking indication of religious activ-
Ity in the United States is found in the
fact brought out in census bulletin
dealing with the statistics Of religious
bodies that every day eight new churches
are erected in the country. The total
church membership is not far from 80,
900, 900, being put at 80, 936, 445 in 1906
In that year the church members formed
49, per cent. of the total estimated
population of continental United States,
as compared with 1927 per cent. in 1890,
an increase as will be seen, of ga per
cent. for the intervening period. Of the
whole body of church members 431 per
cent. We're males and $3.50 per cent were
women and female children. 1t is esti-
mated that in all 81, 257, IT'S, S67 was in
vested in church edifces at the time COW
cred by the report. The total amount
of debt was $1O8, $50, 946, or SO per cent
of the aggregate value. The total seat
ing capacity of the churches was So, $780,

for 1890 Of "a. 4 per cent.
