recent editorial in the Kenhebec
Journal comments sneeringly:
With such great profits for the farmers
worms you ought to be able to give some
impressive figures of Increase in the value
of farm property in Maine.
Trot out your old savings bank figures
if you want to; but tell also the increase
in stock, improvements in farm build
ings, increase in product.
Then you will be in position to explain
the fact that at no time in fifty years of
high protection have the farmers of
Maine been so prosperous as they were
in the preceding period of low tariff
The Sun is unfair and without cause
or valid reason for argument, appar-
entity having gathered it's knowledge
OF conditions in the farming lands of
Maine from couch in the editorial
den with a deep green blind over the
editorial eyes. Certainly the editor OF
san reasonss to convince his readers
that conditions are not immeasurably
improved for farmers, for farmers
wives and for their children in the last
fifty or fifteen years We will not re-
fer to the savings bank figures or the
money that is being invested in stocks
(some good and some worthless) and
bonds by men who are looking out for
old age or for children or grandchil-
dren Everyone who honestly COM
pares today with thirty years ago, or
half that time, knows of the vast diff
ference. If the editor of the Sun has
ne relatives in the farming sections
of Maine it is his misfortune If he
has them and does not visit them and
observe for himself he is missing
something and we advise an immedi-
ate vacation. Better take it the first
two weeks in September-it is a de-
lightful month and he will need an ex-
ira ounce of strength to withstand the
news of the evening of Sept 18th
In the two weeks up country he
could find out that his luxurious city
home is not SC far ahead of country
life in these days. If he wishes he
may telephone in his editorials from
the back districts. or he may get out
in a rubber-tired buggy or automobile
and enjoy something he cannot find in
the city.
The editor of the Sun on his vaca-
ton in Names farming districts
should notice that they have private
sewerage systems, running water in
houses and barns; that on the table
are cultivated berries and delicacies

ity to devote to these things, and he
has had money with which to buy
these labor and time saving devices;
he has sent his boy to agricultural
schools or he has had the advantages
of such schools himself, and the ideas
he got there have made life better
worth living on the farm. Others have
seen and at this time we are approach
ing the point of stampede farmward.
1t certainly would be interesting
reading if the Sun would point out
the prosperity of those low tariff
days on the Maine farms.

A woman who dons one Of these de.

are deplorable when not laughable.
II you cannot afford to go to the

toilet and remember that II women
who are sensible will not refrain from
being slaves Of the passing mode with
no thought Of incongruity. women who

An unusually pretty luncheon was

At q dinner party there was a

with pink carnations In the center Of
the table. Pink satin ribbon went to
each place. held down by a wee white
porcelain jardinere In which one pink

would come when the man who had

BOY IS shot As
He RETURNS FROM
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Elliot Cone l2-Year=Old Victim
of Rifle in Hands of
Youth.

While returning from Sunday school,
Elliot Cone, the 12-year-old son of
William Cone. of % Hunterdon street.
was accidentally shot in the leg by
John Wachter, 10 years old, yesterday
afternoon.
Cone, who attends the West Presby-
terian Sunday school. was on his way
TO visit a friend, and while passing a
vacant lot on West Morris avenue be-
tween Cabinet and Warrenfstreets, was
struck by the bullet from the rifle in
the hands of Wachter, who was shoot
ing birds.
Wachter and several other boys were
in the lot at the time, and when the
former saw that he had shot Cone he
went to his assistance and took him to
the City Hospital, to which place he
was able to walk.
The doctors at the hospital found
that the bullet had penetrated the salt
of the right leg four inches, and though
they probed for it they were unable to
remove 1t.
The mother of the boy refuses to
take any action in the mater, saying
that it was purely accidental. This
morning tho boy was complaining that
the wound hurt him, but was still able
to walk. He is a pupil at the Booth
street School, and there are five chill
dren younger than he in the family.
