Just below this Reynolds neighborhood
we struck the Ames farm, where Mr..
James H. Ames, who is at the head of
the Prohibition party in this State, and
fast forging to the front in the potato
machinery business, began his career.
When he moved to Bowdoinham he sold
the farm to Messrs. Smith, Thompson &
Sons, and the four make a strong team
in handling big farm. Last year was
discouraging one for them, as we'll as
for lots Of others, but this season opens
brighter and they are making prepare
lions to harvest big crop. AS Mr.
Ames left all his machinery on the farm
when he sold it, they are pretty we'll
equipped in that direction, and we look
to see them garner, a bountiful harvest
this fall.
One of these days we are going to ask
Mr. Ames to tell US how he ard Mr.. Rey-
nolds became interested in the potato
business, and how he raised more than
200 bushels to the acre and big crop of
clover off from piece of ground in
single season. Mr.. Ames will also be
asked to tell of his career as farm insti-
tute lecturer, when he astounded the
people by telling them the story of his
success with potatoes before any one in
the State had any conception that there
was anything out of the usual in the
cultivation of potatoes in the good old
State of Maine
In this same Reynolds district we m CT
Mr.. T. L. Morton, who has small farm
of 65 acres, but is striving to demonstrate
the fact that little farm well titled is
nothing to be sneeZed at, even IN Burn
ham. He has over 1000 strawberry
plants and is going to set some more. He
has already demonstrated what he can do
with poultry, and now is going to COM
bine the two. He is weaver by pro-
fession and commands good pay in any of
the wooden mills as boss weaver, but
after years of confinement he feels the
need Of a little respite and he thinks he
can best take it on this farm. He is work.
ing hard with his berries, but incidentally
will plant five or six acres Of potatoes,
having caught the infection from his
neighbors. Mr.. Morton is disciple of
I thorough cultivation from way, way back,
and when he gets field ready for the 20
4 tato planter it looks like flower bed. He
says that he has proven the value of a
good seed bed by planting potatoes in it
and the same day planting them in field
where the soil is poorly prepared. He
says there will be from two to four weeks

Several Republicans to Run
For Council.
LAST DAY FOR NOTICES
All Democratic Nominees Have Quail
fled Except e. !. Ford, Who VIII
Put His Name In Today-G. o. p.
Makes No Nominations.

While the local Republican party
has not put any candidates In the
field for the common council and the
board OF aldermen in the municipal
election to be held on Tuesday, June
| IA, It is understood that one or two
Republicans will announce themselves
today as independent, candidates
for the city council from the Second
and Third wards.
Today is the last day OH which the
candidates who wish TO enter the race
can file their notices with the clerk
of courts. Last week Chairman w.
G. Smith. Ga the city Republican COM
mittee, announced that in all proba-
Lility the Republicans would put full
ticket in the field Since that time
the party leaders have gotten togeth-
err and after a half dozen conferences
they decided that ii would be useless
to put up a full ticket. However.
they are said to have decided to get
one or two OF the stronger Republi-
cans in the Second and Third wards
to announce themselves as "inde-
pendents."
Concentrate On Two Fights.
The Republicans hope to win in
one fight in each of the two wards
in East End and they will concen-
trate all their efforts on those
particular fights The candidates will
not have the official endorsement of
the party as a whole, but the candi-
dates have conferred with the lead
ers, who hope to be able TO whip the
Republicans into line TO support the
Independents"
So far as could be learned yester-
day. the Republicans will not have
any independent" candidates in the
First and Fourth wards as the Demo-
Gratis are united in those wards. They
are hoping for success in the Second
and Third wards because they think
that the two factions among the
Democrats in those two wards will
rot support the nominees of the
primary solidly.

"Eight-hour Clause" Will be
Complied With.
BID ON ALL WARSHlPS
Local Company viii Go After Con-
tracts for Battleships, Golfers and
Torpedo Boat Destroyers Provided
For in the Senate's Bill.

Though the "eight-hour clause" gov
erning the construction of the two
battleships and the feet GOLFERS was
retained in the naval appropriation
bill as it passed the United States
senate or Monday, the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company
VIII submit estimates on building one
OF the monster battleships, the fleet
golfers and the torpedo boat destroy
ers provided for by the bill.
The eight-hour law" as II is call
ed, was enacted in 1892 and applied
to work in navy yards and other gov
eminent institutions. In the navy
yards il has been held that
the law applied only to
ships under construction, it being pos
sible to employ men on repairs jobs
and other kind OF work other than
actual construction for q longer period
than eight hours. Under this construc-
ton. the law then will be made to
apply only to the workmen who are
actually engaged in the work on the
two new battleships and the fleet col
liers.
Nine Hour System Now.
At the present time, a nine-hour
system is maintained at the ship
yard. but should the yard land one of
the battleships or any of the Golfers
an eight-hour system will be put in
force so far as the men actually work
ing on the battleships or the Golfers
are concerned Worsxmen employed
on merchant ships would not be af-
fected by this plan nor would
the men who might work on any OF
the torpedo boat destroyers which
might be landed be affected.
Under the provisions of the bill,
only one of the battleships can be
built liz a single yard, but ali of the
GOLFERS or torpedo boat destroyers
can be built in one yard. The cost of
these vessels is to be kept down to
the lowest possible point and for that
reason there is not much likelihood OF
any of the navy yards submitting any
bids on the work. In all probability
the local yard, the New York Ship
building Company, the Cramp yard
and the Fore River yard viii be the
only bidder for the battleships. Be
sides these yards, the Maryland Steel
Company probably will bi4 on the col
liers and the Bath Iron Works prob
ably will be in the bidding for the
destroyers.
Open Bids This Summer.
II is expected that the bids on the
two battleships will be submitted
sometime in August or September.
These vessels are to be about of the
same size as the last two battleships
authorized by congress. Those ships
are of $4,000 tons of displacement and
are to carry twelve 12-inch rifles, two
more than are carried by the Dele
ware
The fleet GOLFERS are to be of
much the same type as the Vulcan
and will cost approximately 81 900, goo
each. They will have a capacity of
about i2.500 tons of coal.
The six TORPEDO boat destroyers
authorized are to be of about the
same type as the Roe and Terry now
building at the shipyard, and are to
cost not more than 100000 each.
