THE LESSON OF THE CORN SHOW

The editor of the agricultural de- ua-tmsnt of the Portland Express con spders the recent New England corn show to have been an object lesson of value Co all New England, and while there was a great lack of uniformity in the exhibits which narred the dis play. he feels that they emphasized the iesson and gave to the show fuller sig nifcance than though the exhibits had been more even. Among other things he says.
 .In Connecticut, the work of a young man. MT. Brewer. now president of the corn exposltion- drew attention to the possibilities of the crop yield, by win ming first prize at the national corn show
 We do not believe that Maine wants to dsbble in dent corn Surely, we can never compete against the south srn New England states in growing it.. our cooler climate and shorter season will inevitably shorten the stalk, in sure lower ear development and final Iy give us naturalized Maine prod uct. but. meanwhile. we can go on steadily increasing the yield of flint corn and adding to the stalk growth. We have in Maine, as in the other New England states, Just as good corn growers as can be found anywhere on the continent. and their name is le- zion. What is wanted is that by con centra ton Of primal essentials the nun Der be increased. for New England must produce the corn consumed at home. and can do much more. Such an exposition as this fs an eye opener 70 every observing man, for it brings him face to face with the science of successful corn breeding and growing. It iE this which alone can save. Con sciOusly or unconsciously, there must be an approach to the higher standard where the man becomes not a good grower only, but A skilled breeder"
 Iu conclusion he believes that the men who made the New England ex- position at Worcester a possibility. a certainty and success, are entitled 10 glad hand from every honest son uf New England

PRESIDENT TAFT's QUIET WAYS

President Tafts resolute and quiet way of accomplishing his purpose is pleasing to the people. He has the curious guessing who he is to make chief justice to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Chief Justice Fuller and who is to be made the successor of Justice Moody, resigned. We learn from Washington that he has not con- suited any member of the judiciary committee of the senate which must confirm his appOintees. There is no hlnt of intentional slight on Tafts part, since he is known to defer such matters until action Is immediate, to check the gossip and criticism which is sure to grow out of publicity. The Euesssrs are assuming that MT. Hughes HeiU be promoted to fill the vacancy made by the death of the chief justice and several guesses have been made as te the other appointees. Since these appointments are likely to be made next week the reading public has not long to wait
 lt is also said that the president is bound. so far as in him lies, to check the tide of extraVaEance; and that he has declined to approve the cabinet officers estimates of departmental ex- penses for the year and has requested that they be reduced, which is taken in high places to mean that the presi- don't intends to be head of the econ- ony club and chairman of the execu- tive committee"
 President Taft's message, we are told. will be 10000 words in length. or about five pages of The Bulletin. This length indicates that the president is iesirous of laying before the closing session of congress the policies he de- si-es to promote and the important laws he hopes to have enacted by the short session. The republicans can only save the administration and their party by prompt and efficient work in these closing months.

Mollie Harrison believed in early shopping for Christmas, so she start ed out one bright fresh morning in the late fall to inspect the stock of Christmas goods already being adver- tiSed by the merchants. She also wanted a new hat for the season.
 Mollie was attractive, her friends said, though not handsome, but as she step ped out of the house many would have admitted she was not far from hand some. Her dark hair. carefully ar ranged with view to trying q new hat. and her bright hazel eyes, added to q glowing bloom of healthy young life made her face a pleas ant picture for those she met
 This morning she wore a natty suit of dark blue, which set off her charms to good advantage, and more than one turned to take a second look at her But Mollies greatest charm lay in her happy expression, and she always met her friends with a cheery word and a smile whereby one caught a glimpse of even rows of pearly white teeth. The clerks in the store caught the infec- tion of her happiness, and served her with an alacrity not always shown to their patrons. They cheerfully turned over their goods to find g. hat to suit Miss Mollie's taste; but their custom CT did not approve all the groteSQue shapes offered as the very newest" and f:so stylish and becoming" At last her demands were satisfied, and with the new hat jauntily adjusted and the old one in q parcel-for MOllie carried her own parcels sometimes she started toward the counter where some of the Christmas goods were dis played.

HANDS CRACKED OPEN

am man seventy years old. My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insldes for over year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that | could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that l could not dress myself in tho morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do me any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura OiIt- nnent. About 6 year ago my daughter got cake Of Cuticura Soap and one box Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time 1 began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been mite sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies,
 They also cured bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbors children. and they think very highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John w. Nasty, So. Efing- ham. N: H.. Mar. and Apr. II. 1909.
 This is but one example of thousands of speedy, economical cures of tortur- ing skin and scalp humors by Cuticura.

 Now that Thanksgiving is past and gone, and Christmas only three weeks distant, we find many people making their Christmas purchases. and a vari- ety of manners and dispositions is dis closed at every turn and at every counter. Some people have the fac ulty of making shopping a pleasure to themselves and to those with whom they deal, while others make such hard work of it that every expedition into store becomes a burden to themselves and trial to the unfor- tunate clerk who is obliged to attend them. We are all advised to shop early in the season, early in the week, and early in the day, but not every one can do this, and with the best in- tentions and most careful planning something is found to be overlooked and demands a hurried trip to the places before the desired article can be obtained.
 A little more independence of thought would help simplify the prob lem. Make up your mind to give nothing from sense of obligation or ed. Make no gift which is not accom- panied with a, true Christian wish. Lowell tells us, '"The gift without the giver is bare,'' and this is true An inexpensive gift sent from genuine desire to please is much more valuable than lavish expenditure given from a feeling of necessity. Give without thought of receiving, and should some thing unexpected come to you, do not feel that a costly return must be made. A great gift made in return for some slight attention is not in g TOT, taste and is in the nature of a sunb. Remember those who work for you, those who are i'll or whose lives are darkened by care or trial, but be not grieved if all your fashionable friends are not on your list of claimants. Above all, never allow yourself to say, T shall be glad when Christmas is over and done with I am so tired with all this shopping" What a feel ing with which to greet the best day of the whole yearI To avoid this weariness is one reason for early shopping.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
GUARANTEED AT BOTH ENDS.

They are marking barrels of apples now Guaranteed at both ends,'' at least those who are keen concerning Che new farming and the new pomol- ogy are doing so when they send tf1eir goods to the big cities and over the seas. Just a hint the label carries of d time when it might not have been safe thus to describe a mass of bald- wins, red maclzintoshes, or palmer greenings; of the time when the buy CT. enamored of the fair and luscious fruit on top, would order the barrel sent home only to find, to Ihis chagrin, beneath the topmost layer and so on to the other end of the barrel, a lot of speckled and perhaps decaying fruit.
 But whether from policy or because their consciences have felt the force of the tide of righteous indignation which Thanksgiving day orators say is sweeping over the country, the farm CTS are packing their fruit with a greater care than ever before. and the label Guaranteed at both ends means a square deal all the way through.
 Would that the same idea dominated men and women generally in their re- lations one to aonther. Suppose that every bargain could be thus charac- terized, Goods alike for buyer and seller. for mistress and maid, for cap

The two affictions which appear to excite least sympathy in this world are nervousness and hornesickness and they are just as real and deep seated IS any other bodily trouble In old times the doctors used to think that they could be laughed out of patients; and in ancient days it was not infre- quent to recommend the forsewhip as a means of making such patients brace up. It is realized now that eurasthen- ia and nostalgia are diseases which create more agony of mind than any others and often they are due to some other serious physical disorder. AS to homesickness, 1t has been discov- cred that soldiers who have acquired mysterious. incurable diseases in the service, which seem to be killing them by inches, frequently recover at once when taken into their home country or into environment that is similar It takes the world a long while to find out simple things because of it's lack of interest and sympathy.

1t has been remarked that few men would care to be taxed on the space they think they occupy in the world. This is doubtless true, for 1t is this imaginative quality which gave rise to the speculative maxim that ITO buy q ] man at his real value and to sell him at his own valuation of himself would be speedy way of getting rich.' It is rather strange the first man who thought he was some pumpkins, for he must have been the originator of this conceit was not immortalized. It more than likely invited ridicule at first and became respectable only by it's increase and popular endorsement. A great many ridiculous things in life have been made tolerable in this way. It is of some advantage for a person to think well of himself, of course, for if he did not who would be likely to think well of him?
