1t is ar Old story now, but will bear
repetition, that the Belfast fair-or, Of
ficially, the fair of the Waldo County
Agricultural Society-was record
breaker from start to finish; in attend
ance, in exhibits and in interest. Of
course due credit must be given to the
Clerk of the Weather. We had rain the
day before and the day after, but three
perfect days for the fair. The success
of the fair this year is not only very
gratifying, but there are assurances of
its continued growth under the present
progressive management, and plans are
already formulated for further improve
ments in the buildings and grounds.

Sheriff Amos F. Carleton is candidate
for reelection, and that he will be his
own successor there is not shadow of a
doubt. His enforcement of the laws as
required by his oath of Office has given
him Statewide reputation and the con-
ditiops in Waldo county under his admin
istration have been in marked contrast
with the lax methods in many other
counties. His deputies have, been men
OF his own stamp and have ably seconded
his efforts to maintain law and order in
this city and county. Sheriff Carleton
has won the respect, the confidence, and
the votes, of many Democrats. who recog-
nize his worth as man and his faithful
ness as an officer of the law.

The frantic efforts the Republican
papers are making to prove that every
town in the State is getting back more
from the State than it pays in State tax,
would be laughable if it was not for the
fact that some people will be badly fooled
by it.-Fairfield journal.
The frantic Efforts of such Demo-
cratic papers as the Fairfield Journal to
disprove official facts and figures which
give the lie to their campaign cry of Re-
publican extravaganza, etc., will hardly
fool anybody. 1t is not claimed that
every town in the State is getting back
more from the State than it pays in State
tax, but many of them are, and the small
est places are the chief benefciaries,
while with the cities the balance is the
other way.

Little Rock Population 45,94l

Little Rock, Sept. 2O.-This announcement or the population of Little Rock is a great disap- pointment to the people of Little Rock, who had been confidently expecting a much larger figure.
 It should be considered, of course, that the census of 1900 and that of 1890 included also Argenta, which has since been separated from Little Rock, but still it was believed that the pop. lation of Little Rock itself would be greater than the figure given.
 In the complete census report a footnote will be added about the separation of Argenta, but as the population of Argenta has not been announced it is impossi- ble at this time to give the com bined population of the two

Decline Of the Musta che.

Permission to wear mustache was
eagerly sought after in the middle Of
the last century. But now the virile
decoration is discarded. Why7 In
those old days the Bank OF England
would not allow its employees to wear
1t and Issued an order which might
have come more appropriately from a
bank Of Ireland. 1t was to the effect
that the mustache was not to be worn
In business hours! A large drapery
firm In London objected not only to
the mustache, but to hair parted down
the middle. There Is more tolerance
now. Men look younger when clean
shaved. They are also more readable
without the protection given by the
mustache to the upper Lip. IL hearts
can be worn on sleeves thoughts can
be read on upper lips. But ID It always
wise to leave the legend unhiddenf
Men seldom like to be OWNED, as La
Rochefoucauld remarked once and for
oil time. London Express. .@

Nsw York and thu Surf.

Few New Workers ever stop to think
that one of that city's chief attractions
is the surf Philadelphians must go
fifty-six miles to the ocean. Though
the folk of Baltimore and Washington
live on tidewater, they must travel for
surf bathing TO the capes Boston Is
the only other large town on the At
lantic seaboard besides New York that
has the ocean at Its back door. San
Francisco and Los Angeles are the
only Pacific coast cities within trolley
ride of ocean beach. None OF the Mex
lean gulf cities can be compared to
New York as a seaside resort and as
to New Orleans, another Mecca OF the
pleasure seekers, that lies more than
100 miles above the mouth OF the Mis-
sissippi But. including Coney Island
and Rockaway. good many miles OF
Greater New York are bounded by the
ocean. This fact. just to consider the

enormous revenue to the metropolis

centers, such as London, Paris and

says; "There is at least one thing In
a German restaurant for which one
would look In vain in our country.
That is the piccolo. You may think

that any orchestra In any country
might have one of these. but you are
wrong. My piccolo, the one at the
restaurant, is human being. He Is
boy twelve to fifteen years old, who
assists the regular walters. He wears
the regulation walters costume and
looks funny in his spiketail coat. He
Is as solemn as funeral, knows how

Cookery

After using a gas stove for baking
leave the oven open for a little while
to allow the gas TO escape. This will
prevent sweating and rusting.
II chops and small steaks are placed
in tin pie plates and set on top Of the
broiling CRATE they can be well cooked,
and the tin plates will be much easier
cleaned than the broiier CRATE would be.
Keep the range black by wringing
out sponge kept for the purpose in
warm water and rubbing well with
soap. Wash the stove while it is not
warm. 1t can thus be kept black and
free from grease spots.
Use the oven lighter for articles need
