Whereas, this Chapter has learned
with profound sorrow Of the death Of
Companion R. L. Amberg, in Hick-
man, Kentucky, q member of this
Chapter; and
Whereas, the loss by death Of our
friends and associates is always a sad
affection; but unusually sad is that
occasioned by the death of our la
mented Companion R. {. Amberg,
cut off, as he was, in the midst Of q
young and useful life with an aged
mother dependent on him for sup
port; just emerging from college
with fresh Iaurels Of victory on his
brow and with every prospect Of a
bright future before him. In him we
have indeed lost a companion; one
whose mildness and ~gentleness and
kindness, whose answering upright
ness and integrity ever won upon our
hearts and shed the happiest influence
upon our conduct. To know him
was to love him. Though he has
been thus untimeiy taken away from
lis, may the memories Of his many
virtues and sterling good qualities be
ever cherished by US and may his ex-
ample ever continue to exert over US
that influence for good, which i
always SO signally commanded when
he filed his place amongst US. He is
gone to that City, not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens, whose
maker and builder is God. Like all
others who have likewise gone from
among us, we miss him sadly; and we
sincerely mourn his loss. His de-
parture reminds US Of what must
sooner or later fall to our lot; for we
are not created for this world only.
And this again reminds US of our
dutv to God, to Masonry and to our
fellow man. We sYmpathize deeply
with the family of our deceased Com
@papion. and we hope that our good
God will place a ~consoling Angel at
their door to comfort them through
life.
"There's a master plan above US,
That no mortal mind can dream;
There can be no loss or failure,
In Gods universal scheme.
And his Providence will guide US,
Till all earthly work is done;
Ont Of darkness into daylight,
Out Of shadow into sum-"
Now. BIZ Ii Resolved, That in the
death Of Companion K. L. Amberg,
Gordy Chapter has lost u true and
faifhfnl Companion; i Companion
Who was always ready and willing to
discharge every duty # his calling,
whose masonic worth shall eve stand
proverbial amongst US.
r. It Resolved, That in token Of
roanect of our deceased Companion,
tha levels and implements Of this
rbantef be draped in mourning and
tbaf the members YEA the usual
badoe Of mourning for thirty days.
Pe It Further Resolved, That these
rosoIutions be spread upon the min
,,tes and a copy thereof be sent to
tbe family under the Seal of the
cbapter. and that they be published
i both the 0pelousas papers.

Do farmers eat the proper
sort Of foodP

The farmer Of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
on the table than he did ten yea ago.
It's a good thing that this is so because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount OF Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations By scien-
tifc mel that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest mem
tai vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity Of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaten by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.
Packed in regular packages, and in
Theoretically sealed tins for hot
climates. 81

CONGRESSMAN Cole of Ohio.

Many Maine friends extend the hand
of fellowship and greeting to Hon
Ralph D. Cole of Ohio who spoke at
Winthrop Monday evening. 1t is the
third visit of Congressman Cole to
Maine and thousands of people will be
glad to hear again his voice and the
logic which he drives home in such
forceful manner.
Congressman Cole comes from the
Sth Ohio District, where he was elect
ed to the 59th Congress and reelected
to the 60th. He is brilliant speaker
and holds the audience from his open
ing sentence. He is staunch Republi-
can and a vote winner. for he talks
common sense in way that all can
understand. We recommend to our
readers the reading of what Congress
man Cole said at Winthrop. He will
speak in several other Maine towns
before the campaign closes.
Congressman Cole is accompanied by
his wife and they will find warm
hands and hearts in the Pine Tree
homes

The Evolution of Pure Milk.

The evolution of pure milk supply
for our great cities has gone through
three stages in the past sixty years
says the Philadelphia Press.
From 1855 to 1870 American cities
awoke to swill-fed milk and dairies foul
beyond description. This was preva-
lent chiefly about New York, but it was
present in all large cities. 1t was sup
pressed by legislation and inspection
directed to the feeding of cattle. Bac-
terial life was unknown and the one
question asked as to pure milk was
whether it was watered.

tests were iktfykiiieaf az 1biitNess efAaf,

and fatty matter in milk. Pure" milk
was milk not watered. No one thought
of tuberculosis or bacterial ferments.
A minimum of cream or fatty matter
was fixed in salable milk after strug
gle as severe as that now in progress.
This protected the nutritive value of
milk.
The third stage comes now in the de-
mand to keep milk free from bacteria.
The needs of pure" milk are, as now
understood, wholesome food for cattle,
secured thirty years ago. proper per-
centage of fat, secured fifteen years
ago, and now cleanliness in the COW
stable; a temperature maintained be-
low 50 degrees, so that bacterial life
will not develop and the exclusion of
milk with over 100. 600 bacteria to the
cubic millimeter.
The Federal Bureau of Animal In
dustry, in it's report for 1907. proposes
to secure this. first by a registry and

Editorial Comment.
Plaisted's Questions.


It is reported that Colonel Plaisted
has asked the following questions OF
Governor Fernald. with the request
that he answer them at his meeting in
Houlton;
Governor Fernald has said that taxes
have not increased upder his admins
tration. l ask him to tell the people
of Maine what the direct State tax
amounted to in 1908 and what it is now
in 1910.
Governor Fernald has said that the
State debt has not increased under his
administration. l ask him to tell the
people of Maine how much the State
owed when he took Office and what it
owes today.
The Governor has said that the State
of Maine is living within it's income. l
ask him to tell the people how much
money was paid into the state treasury
in 1909 and how much was paid out.
These questions We're put by the
Democratic candidate in a speech at
Houlton Wednesday. Governor Fer
nald has already covered the points
fully. but he probably is willing to
oblige the colonel. What he said in
regard to taxation was that the direct
or State tax for 1909 was not increa sed.
and that with one exception it was the
lowest in the history of the State. He
was talking of rates of course. not of
amounts, which vary with valuation.
The rate was three mills on the dollar.
lie same as it was in 1908. For 1910
the rate was increased to five mills. as
Governor Fernald has stated several
times There was rever any conceal
ment about it, or any desire to conceal.
and if there had been it would have
been impossible to conceal a patent
fact spread on the statutes in the sight
of all. The rate was increased, as
Governor Fernald and others have re-
peatedly explained. for the purpose of
making the wild land owners assume
a fairer share of the tax burden. 1t
was done after full consideration by
the Legislature and on the decision
that this was the best way to accom-
plish the object. and the money thus
raised from the municipalities and the
wild lands is returned to the municipal
tiles for schools and roads. If Mr.
PlaiSte0 wants the amounts. ne can
easily find them in the tax acts of the
Legislatures of 1907 end 1909. The State
tan assessed for the years 1908. 1909 and
1910 with the rate, IVES as follows:
