POTATO GROWING IN HANCOCK.

Arrangements are being made for a
farmers institute to be held in Ellsworth
in March, when Commissioner-of-A gri-
culture A. W. Gilman and some practical
potato-grower from Aroostook county,
will address the farmers Of this section
in regard to potato-raising.
The institute will be devoted solely to
this topic, with the view of instructing
and interesting the farmers of Hancock
county in the potato industry on large
scale. The matter was set on foot by H.
F. Maddocks of North Ellsworth, and is
being promoted by the Ellsworth board
of trade
There is no reason who potatoes can
not be raised here as successfully as in
Aroostook county. This has already
been demonstrated, and farmers in many
sections of Hancock county have during
recent years gone more extensively into
potato raising. In North Ellsworth this
year more potatoes were raised than ever
before, and that section this fall shipped
its first carload of potatoes
There is no trouble in finding market.
A prominent Ellsworth business concern
stands ready to erect a potato house and
buy and ship potatoes as soon as the pro-
duct of this section will warrant it.
Commissioner Gilman, himself sue
cessful potato-groWer, says there is nc
reason why the farmers Of this section
should not reap some of the golden har-
vest which for years has been flowing
into Aroostook county as returns from
its potato crop. Ellsworth American.

MISERY IN STOMACH.
And Indigestion Vanishes in Five Minutes
and You Feel Fine.

Why not start now-today, and forever rid
yourself of Stomach trouble and Indigestion?
A dieted stomach gets the blues and grumbles.
Give it a good eat, then take Pape's Diapepsin
to start the digestive juices working There
will be no dyspepsia or belching of Gas or
quotations of undigested food; no feeling like
lump of lead in the stomach, of heartburn,
sick headache and Dizziness, and your food
will not ferment and poison your breath with
nauseous odors
Pape's Diapepsin costs only so cents for a
large case at any drug store here, and will re-
lieve the most obstinate case of Indigestion
and Upset Stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take Gas
from Stomach and cleanse the stomach and in,
testnes, and besides, one triangule will digest
and prepare for assimilation into the blood all
your food the same as sound, healthy stomach
would do it.
When Dyspepsia works your stomach rests
gets itself in order, cleans up-and then you
feel like eating when you come to the table
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach Misery is
waiting for you as as you decide to begin
taking Diapepsn. Tell your druggist that you
want to be thoroughly cured of Indigestion.

NEWSPAPER NOTES.

The Bath Anvil discontinued publica-
ton with the issue of Saturday, January
9th, which completed its third volume.
1t was born of a political quarrel in the
Shipping City, but has done good service
in other directions and will be missed by
many.
The Maine Sportsman, monthly pub
lished at Bangor by Herbert W. Rowe,
has been bought by ]. w. Bracket, pub
Usher of Maine Woods, Phillips, and will
be merged in that paper. Mr.. Rowe,
who for some time has been the Eastern
Maine correspondent of the Boston
Herald, will be associated with Mr..
Bracket on Maine Woods, and the COM
bination will no doubt be for the advan-
tage of both parties. The Maine Sports
man was an excellent publication and
had done the State good service.
Leo C. Fuller of the Fuller Printing
Co., Waterville, has bought the plant

fishing Co., controlled by H. C. Libby,
The Central Maine Publishing Co. was
organized in this city to publish the Wal
do County Commercial, and later pub
lished several other weeklies and the
Waterville Evening Mail, all of which
were discontinued some time ago. The
business of the company of late has been
in the line of job printing, but included
the publication of several books. Mr..
Libby will remain with the business for
time.

THE LINCOLN CENTENARY.

Superintendent of Schools Payson Smith
is sending out the following letter to city,
town and district superintendent in re-
gard to the Lincoln Centenary:
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. ID, 1909.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The most notable anniversary of the
present year is the Lincoln Centenary.
The life of no other American has had
more powerful influence than that of
of President Lincoln in the molding of
national character.
His services to the nation rank among
the greatest achievements in the century
in which he lived, while he has been uni
versally held worthy of rank among the
truly great men of the world.
1t is strongly urged that on Friday,
February 18th, all the public schools Of
the State join in exercises commence
rative of the life of Lincoln.
Such exercises might include the read
ing of the Gettysburg Address, of poems
and abstracts of sketches relating to his
work and to that period of our national
history in which he was the commanding
figure.
Original essays upon appropriate top
les may be prepared and read by students
of high and grammar schools. Very
many of our citizens would no doubt re-
spond willingly to the invitation Of teach
ers to address the pupils Of their schools
upon the critical events of the Civil war.
Especially appropriate as part Of this
observance would be the presentation to
the school of a Lincoln portrait or cast, or
framed copy of the Gettysburg Adj
dress.
Will you kindly take these suggestions
under consideration at once and bring
them to the attention of your teachers,
pupils and citizens?
Very truly yours,
PAYsoN SMITH,
State Supt. of Public Schools

THE LIQUOR AGENCIES.
Reports of the Special Legislative Com
mittee.

| The special committee of the last Legislature
! to which was referred the bill introduced by
Senator Heselton of Kennebec for the regula-
| ton of the liquor agency system OF Maine has
! filed its report While the members agree in the
main, Representatives Miliken, Skidmore and
Newbert presented dissenting reports Repre-
sentative Giddngs did not sign the main report
but filed a brief statement advocating the re-
tention of the present law. The minority re-
port of Representatives Newbert and Skidmore
declared the entire agency system to be dis.
credited and severely arraigned the conduct OF
the Office of State liquor commissioner. The
main report presented the following summary
of needed changes:
Direct purchase by the State.
competitive bids.
"The keeping of only two grades of whlskey,
and one of rum, gin, brandy and alcohol.
Entirely cutting out beers, malt liquors,
except stout and porter, and all cordials, cock
tails and alcohol for medicinal purposes.
Doing away with the profits to the State
and making profits to municipalities of uni
form rate.
Fixing a manner in which the records of
sales shall be kept.
"Making it obligatory upon some official
regularly to visit the agency, giving him power
to revise the list of persons to whom sales may
be lawfully made.
come into the State in half-pint, pint and
quart bottles corked and sealed by the con-
tractor outside of the State and be in accord
ance with the sample furnished under bond,
which he shall be required to give, then hav-
ing the State liquor commissioner place over
the mouth of each bottle paper in accord
ance with the Heselton BILL And, of course,
make it unlawful to have any liquors except
those so marked in any agency in the State.
"Abolishng the Office of State assayer and
imposing his duties on the analyst at the State
laboratory at Augusta, with the object of saw
ing to the State the amount of the salary now
paid the former"
Discussing the conditions, the committee
said that not over twenty five per cent of the
liquor sold in the agencies is for medicinal
purposes and that the average agent always
makes sale unless he has certain knowledge
that the liquor would be put to improper use.
Improper use," according to the committee,
appears to have but one construction and that
is a use which will lead to public intoxication."
