WHAT SOME OF SOMERSET COUN-
TY FARMERS ARE DOING.
Good Work Being Done by c. II. Doe
4 Son of Fairfield Center.

The farm of C. H. Doe & Son at
Fairfield Center affords one of the
best illustrations of the value of
"Aroostook methods" we have yet had
the good fortune to see The es-
tablishment Is under the active man
agement of Frank Doe, the junior
partner of the firm, and during
brief visit recently he pointed out
some interesting and striking COM
parsons.
AS a boy the senior Doe worked
out on this same farm, and the idea
that he would some day own 1t him
self never even appeared among his
youthful visions. 1t was then as now
one of the choice locations in one of
the finest farming towns. But Mr..
Doe had the foresight and good for
tune to join that sturdy band of
Aroostook pioneers. He took up a
fairly extensive tract of wild land
costing but a nominal sum per acre,
and when he sold the same a few
years ago, the proceeds Melted a
very comfortable fortune. What
u1OTt udtutdl lncu tudt hC ohOuio iO
turn to the scenes of his boyhood to
enjoy the rewards of his life work.
The Fairfield farm was purchased
five years ago so that portions OF 1t
still offer room for improvement, and
this very fact makes possible the in
teresting comparisons above men
toned. AS Mr.. Doe took US over the
place, he pointed out one small sec
ton of grass land as yet untouched
by his plough To describe it would
be to picture any one of the thous-
ands of untitled acres throughout
central Maine. Next came portion
of the farm that was under the pillow
for the first tine. The crops were
good but nothing surprising. Then
there were fields that had been turn
ed the second and third time, and
here the "Aroostook methods" were
showing up in their true light.
Description is quite unnecessary.
Intensive culture and the short rota-
ton bear the same kind of fruit the
world over, and that kind is the very
best. Mr.. Doe is also the owner of
a choice herd of Jerseys, but that
side of the business is worthy of a
story by itself, and we shall reserve
it for another occasion.

HIGH COURT ORDER TO
CROWD CHICAGO JAILS
Decided That Grand Jury Must
Deal With Petit Larceny
Cases.

CHICAGO. April pa condition Dor
dering on decentralization has been pre-
cipitated by a recent decision OF the
Illinois supreme court, which in effect
transfers Jurisdiction in petit larceny
cases from the municipal court, successor
to the old justice shop system. to the
criminal court OF Cook county. This
statement was made today by Assistant
States Attorney Marshall. who has
charge OF the grand Jury work of the
county.
The municipal court. through its vari-
Gus branches. disposes of 10000 petit lar
eeny cases yearly" he explained. THE
cases have been conducted with great ex-
petition and resulted usually in short SEN
fences to the city prison. Under the de-
cision Of the supreme court the cases
must now go through the hands of the
grand jury those indicted going to trial
in the criminal court.
ITO handle the vast number of cases a
grand jury must be in session daily
throughout the court year. Where the &C.
eused Is unable to furnish bail they must
await in the county jail disposition OF
their case. With the dockets crowded, as
they always are. even now. the prisoner
in many cases will spend more time In
jail, pending trial. than he would have to
serve under sentence of the municipal
court. Moreover. the county Jail will be
unable to accommodate all Of them and
they will have to be held in the none-too-
sanitary lockups OF the various police
stations

monument ON SPOT
WHERE BALLOONS LANDED
Ordered by German Emperor to
Commemorate the First Royal Re-
view of an Aerial Squadron.

HOMBURG, April 2S.-Emperor William
has ordered that a monument be erected
on the spot where the three dirigibles
landed yesterday In oommemoration Of
the first royal review Of the aerial squad
ron.
The emperor decorated the five officers
who participated in the trip from Cologne
and gave an autographed photograph to
Maj. Gross. At the same time he expressed
his satisfaction over the smooth and sue
cessful flight. Dirigible 'P2 lost con-
siderable gas and may be returned de-
fiated to Cologne by train. The other
machines will make the return by the
air course as soon as the weather per-
mits.
BERLIN, April 23.-The flight of the
aerial cruisers from Cologne to Homburg
created great interest here. not so much
because of the difficulties of the feat, but
because 1t served as an indication that
the art of aerial navigation was progress
ing Systematically and that the military
administration was inclined to encourage
the enterprise Of private individuals and
companies by preparing airship landing
fields and sheds for the craft. The pro-
prietors OF the Johannisthal aviation
grounds announce that they are about
to construct great dirigible garage.

PARIS, April 23.-General elections to
the chamber Of deputies will take place
tomorrow, with second ballots May .
in Constituencies where candidates fail to
obtain the regulation majorities. These
are expected to be unusually numerous
this wear owing to the exceptional num-
her of candidates. Over two thousand
are seeking TO fill 800 places. One cause
of this extra number OF would-be
equities is the increased salary of $1,000
which the members enjoy as against
81 800 four years ago.
The general results Of the election will
not be known until Monday afternoon.
but nobody expects any important change
In the political complexion of the cham
Der beyond some shrinkage in the ranks
of the reactionaries and moderate
publicans and some increase in the num-
Der Of socialist representatives. The
apathy with which the public regards the
event is continuing to the eve of the
voting day and is proof of the growing
tendency of the French to assign an in
creasingly small place in their lives TO
politics
Possibly owing to this apathy and the
stagnancy in home and foreign affairs.
never has an election campaign been
carried on with such courtesy and such
moderation in the expression Of Views
No candidate is calling his rival an as
sassin. The strongest insult is to stig
matize him as a sham republican. Even
the incursion OF woman candidates has
failed to arouse any real excitement in
the campaign.
The radical socialist party goes to the
country with claims of having redeemed
many of its promises. pointing to the
new tariff, old-age pensions and the pur-
chase Of the western railway, but NJ.
Jaures, the leader. takes the credit for
these and all social laws which have been
passed as entirely due to the pressure
of the socialists on the perfunctory ma
jority in the chamber which then al
lowed the senate to undo much Of the
good which had been done. 1t is notable
that the income tax bill, which is now
hung up In the senate. has been studious-
ly avoided as q subject of discussion on
the stump.
