is TOO DRY RS MUCH PROGRESS
Tobacco Ttanspla,s Is Slow Because of
Dry Weatln- and Heat

Farmers are sic Z in the work of
tobacco setting and Conditions are none
too bright because of the parched shape
of mother earth. Rain is sorely needed
for plant setting and all kinds of grain,
corn, fruit and other farm products are
suffer- : for moisture, none having
fallen for month.
Remnants of last years tobacco crops
have continued to come to market and
it is now believed that nearly or quite
all deliveries have been made. Local
warehouses have been picking away at
the weed as it comes in but all have
now closed their doors.
Eckhardt cleaned up nice bunch of
the 1908 packing during the past week,
having sold to Eisenlohr of Philadelphia
/, 500 cases, and to Rosenwals of New
York 800 cases. Their representatives
were here to direct shipment, which is
now going forth.
On general conditions the Edgerton
Reporter says: Zone of the remark
able things of this cold, backward sea-
son which has delayed the growth of
all vegetation, is how well the tobacco
plants have progressed under the pre-
vailing co ditions. The frequent frosts
that have Tiled much of the fruit and
destroyed he early gardens strangely
enough h ye acc Jmplished but little in
Jury TO .'s tobacco plants. Even under
the tryi ! weather conditions when
corn has efused to sprout, the tobacco
beds have still been making Roadway,
All these circumstances show how hardy
young tobacco plants really are how
eaf mil Of
survive the shocks that to most every
thing else proves detrimental to growth.
Planting has been started on quite a
good many fields the work will hardly
become general until next week. There
seems to be an abundance of plants
everywhere though somewhat under
size in many localities.
There is but little doing in the mar
keting of cured leaf except by occa-
sional transactions. People riding the
growing districts assert that the crop
is now as well gathered up from coun-
try hands as any of the recent years.
Quite a quantity of the unsold remnants
have been sent to Evuity warehouses
recently for handling. The market for
old leaf remains quiet.
On July will become operative the
new tax revenue advance on tobacco at
2 cents per pound. The American To-
bacco Co. have just announced that there
will be no change in weight, size or
price of its leading brands Of plug and
twist tobacco. This means that the
new tax will not effect the consumer
pocket nor the dealers, but will involve
a direct loss to the American Tobacco
Co. of between $1,000, 600 and $4,000,
600 a year. 1t means, moreover, that
there will be no decentralization of trade,
such as usually precedes announcement
Of increase customs or internal revenue
tax.

As an incentive TO better conditions
the village of De Soto, by its council,

Here is proof:
Belfast, Maine. says "My first experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills took place in 1898. l
had been annoyed by attacks of kidney COM

by excessive riding. My back ached severely
and my kidneys were very weak. When read
of people being cured of kidney trouble by
Doan's Kidney Pills, made up my mind to try
them and obtained a supply at Wilson's drug
store. The contents of one box gave me re-
lief, but did not stop their use then. took
the contents of three boxes and at the end of
that time the backache had entirely disap-
peared, together with all the other troubles.

OBITUARY. The community was shocked
asst Friday morning to learn of the death of
Capt. Israel Closson, master of the schooner
Ida B. Gibson of Bangor, who died in the Rus
sell hospital in Brewer, Thursday night at II
o'clock. Capt. Closson was taken suddenly i'll
with an attack of Inflammation of the bowels
on Thursday morning, and although given
every attention for the relief of the malady it
grew steadily worse until his death. Mrs.
Closson and their two children were with him
and they have the sympathy of the entire
community in the sad affection that has so sud-
denly fallen upon them. Capt. Closson was
the son of the late Capt. Israel and Elinor
(Doyle) Closson and was born in Searsport,
January 81 1859. When small boy he began
to follow the sea in the coastwise trade and
became one of the ablest pilots on the New
England coast. He Was placed in command of
the schooner Oak Grove when very young
man, and also commanded the schooner Lacka-
wanna in the West India trade and the schoon-
ers Mary E. Woodruff, Hero, Edward L. War
rem, American Team, and his last vessel, the
Ida B. Gibson of the Fred w. Aver fleet of
Bangor. Capt. Closson is survived by his wife
and two daughters, by one brother, Capt. Al
fred G. Closson, and one sister, Mrs. Rose E.
Ward all of Searsport. The funeral services
were held at his late home Sunday afternoon
and were largely attended. They were con-
