on the coast. Last week he chased one

ing armed with a rifle and although
the pirate did not have the goods on

A short time previous to that Mr.. Don
ahue captured one of the men with
600 scallops and another with 1.o25

any one out of season there WAS quite
a bill to pay. One of the poachers paid

Calais Advertiser:-It is announced
that eX-President Elliott of Harvard
Will buy and keep COW this summer
10 furnish milk for the family. rather
than be obliged to depend on a milk
man who is in the habit of selling
mixed drink, though the customers
prefer to take it straight. There is
nothing that will do more to convince
people of the true simplicity of col
lege ex-president than for him to keep
COW No man who habitually as
soeiates with COW. and stirs up a
bran mash, and watches her pillow her
nose down to the bottom of the pail in
search of a potato pairing, can be
wholly bad. If Mr.. Elliot selects a
good, honest COW we have no fear that
he will be a tyrant in any walk of life.

The skin of blue fox is said to be
worth something like $50. The fact
lends interest TO the announcement
that Frank Whelpley. who spent some
years in the business in Alaska, has
come back to ST. John, y. B., with a
small colony of these animals and
started a fox farm on the little island
in the bay. near the mouth of Saint
John harbor. He is confident the eli
mate will be suitable. and that the
blue fox will flourish on the tiny is
land, which is otherwise uninhabited
except by rabbits.

A crack has been discovered on the
little hill across the railroad track
just in front OF the Maine State Fair
grounds in Lewiston. 1t is clear cut
crack in the ground nearly one hum
dred feet in length and extending down
10 an unknown depth. In fact there
are two of these assures. The opinion
of Prof +. d. Tubbs of Bates was ask
ed as to the cause. He says the hill
is a deposit of the glacial epoch. and
that the digging of a large hole on the
side to obtain sand has disturbed the
balance and caused the crack.

Creamery Notes.

The creamery has been in opera
tion for just one year. The first
month nine hundred pounds of but
ter fat was received, the month of
April over twenty-five hundred
pounds were taken in.
Considering the fact that so few
COWS were in this section a year
ago, the growth has been phenom-
inal. 1t is estimated that over four
thousand dollars has been invested
in cows since last fall.
Much interest is being taken in
the coming annual meeting of the
stockholders, which takes place on
Saturday afternoon. May 22nd, at
the Courthouse.

Country Farmer Comes Rack.

Editor Herald: 1t may be fact
that the merchant farmer has got
the country farmer beat to a
frazzle," but l rejoice to know that
since April 1lth, with unfavorable
weather on grass. the frazzles have
been interviewer with clover from
2 to 1-2 feet high, and l hope /
can say in after years. as ! can say
for the past. that no merchant farm
er has ever sold this country farm
er any baled hay.
Your reporter seems to have failed
to understand my motive for exhibit
ing the bunch of clover. Being a
poor insignificant farmer, my object
was not to try and compete with or
excel the better class of farmers, and
especially our merchant farmers who
raise clover on their rich lots, or
in their gardens, but the point / tri-
ed 70 make was, what poor land
could be made to produce with acid
phosphate, a cheap fertilizer, which
your reporter stated l used at the
rate of 800 lbs. to the acre. But
when he reports the clover raised
by 'he merchant farmer, nothing was
said about the quality of the land
on which it was raised, whether it
was garden spot made rich by
barn yard manure, or some high
grad fertilizer.
Deal fairly and see who wears the
"frazZles."

The Herald.

If the Herald did no more than
week after week record the coming
and going of our people, births,
deaths and marriages, it would still
be worth the price, but when it give
all the local news of the town and
surrounding country, and in its edi-
torial columns discusses briefly the
leading events of the passing hour,
it INDUCES the supreme satisfaction
of knowing that it is cheap at 2
cents an issue. are you a subscrib-
er? If not, get busy and send in

the name Of Major J. r. Knigh,
who is now known as Lieut.. Colonel
Knight. as deputy Q. G. NJ, from
the 21st of April. 1910. The nomi-
nation was promptly confirmed by

rung from the top of the ladder in
this branch of the service.
The success Of our boys in ey-

CHAMPIONSHIP GOES To RAM
D0LPH-NACON.
ERRORS GAVE AWAY GAME
Hampden-Sidney Defeated iP Holly
Contested Game by Score Of Z

BY defeating Hampden-Sidney
Monday afternoon by the score Of
Z to 4, Randolph-Macon cinched the
championship. The game was hotly
contested. and lasted over two hours.
Randolph-Macon made two runs
in the first inning, without making
a hit. but errors behind Curry tell
the story.
The feature Of the game was
Curry's pitching. He struck out ten
men and kept the six hits well scat
tered. Hampden-Sidney outbatted
their opponents. but six errors over
came this advantage and gave the
game to Randolph-Macon.
Gravely, who pitched the first
inning for Randolph-Macon. was bat
ted out of the box, and was succeed
ed by Smith, who did somewhat bet
ter.
We are sorry for the Hampden-
Sidney boys, but more so for the
'rooters" and the Farmville girls
who went to the game with smiling
faces and returned with sad ones
They may win next time, so cheer
and try again.

vice Done by the Fire Fighters. q
On last Thursday evening about
500, the fire bell gave the alarm,
and soon it was discovered that the
point Of interest was on North Main
and among the last of the structures
within the corporate limits, the sta
BILE and storage room of the Stan
dard Oil Company, being the proper
ty under fire.
The department. as is its wont, was
prompt to respond, and the flames
were soon under control. Some aiarI
was felt at first by reason of the
fact that many of the largest of our
factories are located in that neigh
borhood, and we know what il
means when fire breaks out in
them
But the flames were confined to
the one building, and the burning
was over before all the girls could
get there to enjoy the fun. An arm
of them moved in that direction,
and on the return looked some
what crest-fallen.
The Standard is strong enough,
we presume. to carry its own in
surance, but others of us are not.

Tax Payers to Decide the Question.

On the Gath of the present month
the tax payers of this district are
to say whether or not they will in
crease the tax rate for school pur-
poses from ten TO thirty cents on
the hundred dollars of property.
There is no sentiment involved in
the transaction, but just a matter
Of business, pure and simple. Let
them get together, talk the matter
over and then do what should be
done by good citizens in the interest
of the good of the public.
The Board of Supervisors will
obey the wishes of those they are
charged to represent for this is
their solmen duty. We do not
care to go into discussion of the
question. satisfied as we are to leave
its solution to those who know what
is best. and who will be called up
on to pay the piper" The natural
desire of all right thinking people
is to live in houses as good and
comfortable as they can pay for, and
so our children should be taught
in school houses as good and com
Portable as our purses can bear"
Think the matter over, talk it over
and then go to the polls to register
a just and fair verdict.
