THE MEETING OF MAINE DAIRYMENs
ASSOCIATION.

Plans for the annual dairy conference
to be held at Skowhegan, beginning the
30th Of November, are being rapidly per-
fected. AS there is a great demand for
dairy butter and cheese at the present
time in our local markets special effort
will be made to secure large exhibit of
these products and already assurances
have been received from many Of the old
exhibitors that they will again exhibit
this year. For many years the dairymen
Of the State have been marketing their
dairy products in the form of milk and
cream on account of the very low prices
offered for dairy butter and cheese, but
these conditions are now changed and
this particular phase of the dairy bust
ness is rapidly improving and will short
ly occupy it's proper place in the dairy
industry. Recognizing these conditions
the Association offers liberal premiums
as usual, and in addition special premi-
ums are offered by the Maine Farmer,
Lewiston journal, Turf, Farm ard
Home, Worcester Salt Co., and the Yer
mont Farm Machine Co. It is expected
that other manufacturers of dairy ma
chinery will also contribute to the pre-
MUM list, which is already very attrac-
tive. Prominent speakers have been en-
gagged to discuss the manufacture and
handling of dairy products. Among
those who will speak upon the production
and marketing Of milk and cream are
Prof. James 0. Jordon of Boston, Prof.
Ivan c. Weld of Washington, and Mr.. E.
l.. Bradford of Auburn. The manufac-
ture of dairy butter will be discussed by
representative from the Maine Agri-
cultural College. Other important fea-
lures of the dairy conference will be the
market milk and cream exhibit, also the
exhibit of flint and sweet corn. An
nouncement will be made later furnish
ing particulars in regard to these exhib-
its as we'll as the names of the men who
will discuss the subjects relating to
them. While Skowhegan is we'll supplied
with hotels, among the leading ones be-
ing Hotel Colburn, Skowhegan House
and Maine Central Hotel, those desiring
quarters reserved for them will do we'll
to make such reservation at an early
date. All questions in relation to the
dairy conference will be cheerfully an
swered by the secretary, L. S. Merrill,
Augusta.

The Coming of the Rain.

At first dusky wreath they seem to rise,
Scarce staining either; but by fast degrees,
In heaps on heaps, the doubling vapor sails
Along the loaded sky, and minglng deep,
Sits on the horizon round settled gloom
Not such as wintry storms on mortals shed,
Depressing life; but lovely, gentle, kind,
And full of every hope and every joy,
The wish of Nature. Gradual sinks the breeze
Into perfect calm; that not a breath
Is heard to culver through the closing woods,
Or rustling turn the many twnkling leaves
Of aspen tall. The uncurling floods, diffused
In CLASSY breath, seem through delusive lapse
Forgetful of their course. IT'S silence all,
And pleasing expectation. Herds and flocks
Drop the dry sprig, and, mute imploring, eye
The fallen verdure. flushed in short suspense,
The plumy people streak their wings with oil,
To throw the lucid moisture trickling off;
And watt the approaching sign to strike at once
Into the general choir. Even mountains, wales,
And forests seem, impatient, to demand
The promised sweetness. Man superior walks
Amid the glad creation, musing praise,
And looking lively gratitude At last,
The clouds consign their treasures to the fields;
And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool
Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow,
In large effusion, DER the freshened world.
James Thompson, who died Aug. 81, 1748.

THE NEW RELIGION.
Liberal Ministers Could Not Endorse All
of IT,

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov 4th. DIR. Charles
w. Eliot's new religion was thoroughly
discussed yesterday by the members of
the Maine Association of Liberal Chris
tan Ministers, who met at the Columbia
hote at 1920 a. m. Nine prominent
mem ers were present and all had care
fully perused the authentic published, re-
port of the new religion as outlined by
DR.. Eliot.
1t had been agreed sometime ago that
the members study the article, which is
now published in phamphlet form, and
conduct a symposium. This was done
Yesterday and the following expressed
their opinions: Rev. DIR. John Carroll
Perkins, Rev. Dr. Henry Blanchard, Rev.
William H. Gould, Rev. A. G. Pettengill,
Rev. C. L. Waite, Rev. C. H. Emmons
of Portland, Rev. Harry Eben Townsend
of Westbrook, Rev Leverett Daniels of
Yarmouth, Rev. A. P. Whitney of Saco.
The new religion was not considered to
be sufficiency. There were many feat
ures about it that appealed to the speak
ers, but no one of them would endorse it
in it's entirety. Like all the so-called i'm
provements advanced there were features
that would be approved by any minister
or layman. These were but natural
phases and the religion of the present
day covered them fully. It seemed to be
the consensus of opinion that not new
religion was wanted, but sincere re-
spect, loyal devotion and everyday ex-
emplifcation of the word of God.
The new religion was attacked in a
number of ways. While portions of the
paper were approved, there were others
which could not be commended with the
same zeal. 1t was doubted if DR.. Eliot
had looked at the subject from all angles.
1t was plain to all that it was the utter
ance of a layman who was unacquainted
with things that can only be appreciated
by the clergy.
DIR. W. H. Gould, president of the club,
presided and also expressed his opinion.
He, like the others, appreciated all the
good points made. He was unable to en-
dorse the so-called religion of the future
outright, but thought that it would slim
ulate interest and cause many sincere
men to carefully and appreciatively study
the needs of the religion today.

JAPANESE SEE SHOES MADE.

Every single stage of shoe manufac-
out till the finished product is deposited
in paper boxes ready to be shipped to all
parts of the world, was inspected at the
Sorosis shoe mandatory at Lynn re-
Gently by members of the honorary COM
mercial commissioners of Japan, now on
a tour of the United States. More than
an hour was taken in going about the
plant and many regrets were heard that
the greater part Of the day could not be
had in the study of this great American
industry. The party first visited part
of the plant of the General Electric Com
pany at East Lynn and after the inspec-
ton of the Sorosis factories they went
to Beverly to be entertained by the Uni
ted Shoe Machinery Company.
The almost human piece of machinery
used for measuring leather was the first
great attraction to the visitors, its every
detail coming under the eyes of the ma
jority of the men. Then came the ma
chine which marks out the upper leather
patterns, and fully five minutes was
taken for full explanation and the
showing of samples. In the stitching
room the women operators were engage
ed in buttonholing and eyeleting, their
work on each piece of upper leather be-
ing done in almost the twinkling of an
eye, much to the wonderment of all. In
this room $50 young women were at
work. On the floor below, the making
room. the heeling machines. the beating
out machines and those for securing
were critically examined. "Where are
your lasting machines?" one of the party
asked, and when told that nearly all the
lasting in this plant is done by hand he
showed much surprise
The party then passed into the room
where the finest grades of shoes are
turned out, those that sell from S. up to
$50, and here perhaps the most time was
spent. Shoes of gold and silver cloth
and white satin were passed one to the
other and many were the expressions of
wonderment that there should be de-
mand even in high society for shoes of
that standard. ''Why, they look as if
they would not last more than an hour on
the feet" one of the party laughingly
remarked. "Japan is certainly a long
way from that" When one man was
told that the duty on silver cloth is sixty
per cent, he replied that no protest
would ever come from one class of citi-
zens at least.
The party was much interested in the
statement that the two large factories,
connected by several bridges, are entire
ly separate institutions, doing the same
work and in friendly competition. The
product of these factories differs in
volume only to the extent of dozen
pairs Of shoes day and the greatest in
terest is taken by the foremen of each
shop that the workmanship of their men
equals or is trife better than that of
the sister factory.
When the party reassembled at the
factory offices they found souvenirs of
baby moccasins ready for them, each
member also receiving tiny souvenir
last and booklets explaining the princi-
pies Of the establishment. They express
ed the greatest pleasure in their inspec-
ton and said that never before had they
seen shoe factory in operation.

NO FEAR OF FAMINE.
Secretary Wilson Says Farms of the Unite
States Are Increasing Products.

Secretary Wilson Says Farms of the United
States Are Increasing Products.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 4. Some
day the steady increase of population in
the United States is bound to overtax
the ability of the farm to provide for its
sustenance; but that day is very remote,
according to Secretary Wilson Of The Ag-
ricultural department.. Nor will it be
port grain for bread, notwithstanding the
doleful predictions of some publicists.
Everything depends upon the disposition
Of the American farmer to make the
most of the resources of his land and to
improve his methods of agriculture in
accordance with the needs Of the people.
The secretary is optimistic just now,
and he pointed to the figures OF the crop
production within his reach, showing that
the value of the American farmers out
put for one single year aggregated the
enormous total of $3.50, 100000. This
was for the calendar year 1908, but the
secretary was confident that having in
mind the higher prices of the present,
the total for this year would certainly be
as large or perhaps larger.
The prospect for an increase in the
production of wheat is excellent in the
opinion of Secretary Wilson. Last year
no less than 1000, 900 bushels of Durum
wheat were grown in the United States
and DR.. Galloway, who is making a
special study of the possibilities of this
new grain, seconded the secretary's
hopeful view of the situation by adding
the remark that at 81 stations in the
west investigators were ascertaining the
conditions best adapted to its growth.
Durum is a Siberian grain, peculiarly fit
for soils where there is but a small
amount OF moisture present.
But the department does not like the
methods that are being pursued by the
growers. ''Soil robbery" exclaimed DR..
Galloway and the secretary assented to
the designation. Great syndicates are
farming tracts Of 5000 acres in wheat,
planting the crop again and again with
out regard to the necessary rotation that
would insure the soil against exhaustion.
The secretary pointed out as worthy of
imitation the European practice where
on lands that had been farmed for ages,
good grass was steadily and proftably
grown. The secret was in the rotation
One last question was asked the secre-
tary: "Will American wheat go below
$1.00 again."
"Probably not" he replied, ''but there
is no telling what might follow such
disturbance in the industrial and financial
world as we had in 1907 and should we
again meet such crisis it is possible
that there would be again SO cent wheat"

He refused, however. to lend the aid
OF the church to such a venture He
did not desire that the business men
should be solicited under the auspicies
OF the church because he has never

sons outside his congregation. Failing
to get the minister to countenance his

should not solicit the business men

thing.

FLEEcED OUT OF 500.
German Farmer Near vinton SwindIed
by Fake Epilepsy Doctor

German Farmer Near Vinton SwindIed
by Fake Epilepsy Doctor.
Special to Times Republican
Vinton, Oct. 1S.-A very smooth
swindler has been operating in this
community of late. but so far as known
only one victim crowns his efforts in
this locality and he has moved on to
greener fields. He gave his name as
DIR. f. G. Bowers, of the firm of DR.
Bowers & Son, of Chicago. He claimed
he had discovered that epilepsy was
caused by worm. similar to a tape
worm and that he had method
whereby such worm could be removed
and a permanent cure effected to the
patient. One of the hopeful and encour-
aging elements of his treatment was
that only few hours was necessary
to bring about complete cure One Of
the wealthy Germans living south of
town has son afflicted with this dis
ease and in his eagerness to have the
boy cured engaged the fake doctor and
parted with 500 as reasonable fee
for services rendered. The mysterious
cure was applied and the doctor to-
gether with the 500, disappeared. but
the boy is in the same condition as
formerly. County Attorney Brown was
appealed to but thus far has been un-
able to locate the skillful doctor. A let
ter written to the police of Chicago re-
vealed the fact that no such doctors
appeared on the directory of that city.
This swindler is no doubt operating in
other places at the present time.
