NEWS NOTES FROM
NAMES CAPITOL
Things Talked About In
Augusta

Announcement Ii made at The de
par,ment of agriculture that plans
for the annual dairy conference to be
held at Skowhegan beginning No
vember 30. are being rapidly perfect
ed As there Is grc1t demand for
dairy butter and cheese at the pres
ent time In our local markets a spe-
cial effort will be made to secure a
large exhibit NJ these products and
already assurances have been re-
ceived from many of the old exh.bi-
bitors that Trey will again exhibit
this year.
For r.anv years the daiiyn.en OF
the State have been marketing their
dairy products in the form OF milk
and cream on account CT the very low
prices offered for dairy butter and
cheese ut these conditions are now
changed and this particular phase of
the dairy business Is rapidly improv-
ing and will shortly occupy its prop
err place in the dairy industry. Recog-
nizing these conditions the associa-
tons offers liberal premiums as usual
and in addition special premiums are
offered by the Maine Farmer, Lewis
ton Journal, Turf, Farm and Home,
Worster Salt Co., and the Vermont
Farm Machine Co. 1t is expected that
other manufacturers of dairy ma
chinery will also contribute to the
premium list which is already very
attractive.
Prominent speakers have been en-
gagged to discuss the manufacture and
handling of dairy products. Among
those who will speak upon the pro-
duction and marketing OF milk and
cream are Prof. James o. Jordan of
Boston, Prof. Ivan C. Weld of Wash
ington, and e. L. Bradford of Au-
burn. The manufacture of dairy but
ter will be discussed by represen-
tative from the Maine Agricultural
college. Other important factors Of
the dairy conference will be the mar
ket milk and cream exhibit, also the
exhibit of flint and sweet corn. An
nouncement will be made later fur
nishing particulars in regard to these
exhibits as well as the names of the
men who will discuss the subjects re-
lating to them.
While Skowhegan is we'll supplied
with hotels, among the leading ones
being Hotel Coburn, Skowhegan
house, and Maine Central hotel those
desiring quarters reserved for them
will do we'll TO make such reserva-
ton at an early date. All questions
In relation to the dairy conference
will be cheerfully answered by the
secretary, l.. S. Merrill, Augusta.

FATHER STURGIS'S AMBITIONS.
HOPES to See Temperance Laws
More Drastic.

Ex-senator II. H. Sturgis, father
of the "Sturgis bill" for the drastic
enforcement of the prohibitory law
announced recently that he intended
re-entering public life again in 1910
for the sole purpose of making the
socalled "Sturgis law" more strin-
gent than it is at present. IF | re-
turn to the Legislature" said Mr.
Sturgis, Il shall use every effort to
have law passed providing for the
forfeiture of the charter of any cor
poration thlt has knowingly violat-
ed any law of Maine. Such law
would, of course, be aimed directly
against the numerous express COM
panies which have sprung up in
Maine In the past year or two o.
tensibly organized for doing a gener-
al express business, many of these
companies rarely handle a package
that does not contain liquor"

How's this for reform? Zone hun
bred and fifteen of the big business
houses Of Minneapolis have signed an
agreement not to employ boys under
eighteen years of age who use tobac-
co in any form. The list of names
includes all of the important employ
ers." There are good reasons behind
such move as that, and any en-
ployer of labor can enumerate them.

OF course when man comes home
from hunting trip in the Maine
woods and says that he killed two
deer Il Is proper to believe him. even
though he may have left his records
behind him in the old log CAMP

That may be good judgment for you

it wouldn't work up here in the heart
of the ancient woods. We not only
