Aldrich Talks.

Nor is other legislation contem
plated that might relieve the tension
Senator Aldrich said today:
II can conceive of no legislation
within the powers of congress that
can meet this situation, either in an
ticipation of the supreme courts de-
cislon or subsequent to It,"
Unless, perhaps, the repeal of the
sherman law?' the qnestloner sug-

the senator smiled grimly. 1t was
evident that he regarded that as out
side the domain of possibilities.
as for the scope of antitrust eases
before the supreme court, here is
what Attorney General Wlckersham
said In connection with his motion to
advance the Standard oil cases To i'm

stances OF great combinations appar-
emily controlling the greater part OF
trade and commerce In a particular
line of industry and to make them
tests of the full meaning and appllca-
ton OF the statute. The Standard Oil
case is the most important of all
these cases, affecting, as it does, the
widest range of combinations and
contracts which may be claimed to
offend against the act of congress.
Under these circumstances and as this
act in its general scope affects an
enormous number of business and in

country, it Is of momentous public
Importance that this court shall define

gress. he described as his duty to in
vestigate the conduct of all trusts. Mr..

The general impression here is that
the federal Incorporation bill viii not

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS.

In previous notice from the Maine
Department of Agriculture the oppor-
tunities of boys and girls agricultural
clubs in Maine have been mentioned. It
seems that the value of this work can
best be seen in a particular reference to
the work that is being successfully carried
on in other States. Nebraska is one of
the States in which this kind of club work
has been very thoroughly organized. be-
ginning in 1905, under the leadership of
the State superintendent of public in
struction in cooperation with the apri-
cultural college Of The State University
at Lincoln. Practically every county is
now included in the plans. The bows
grow their show corn and vegetables
under directions sent out from the State
headquarters and the girls practice bak-
ing in accordance with recipes sent out
to the schools from the domestic science
department of the State University.
Early In the fall local contest is held in
each school, the three prize winning ex-
hlblts and the best three essays being
then taken to a township show, then to a
county exhibit, and finally to the State
corn-growing and corn-cooking contest at
Lincoln. This meeting includes a grand
corn banquet" which gathers from
2, 900 to 5000 boys and girls from over
the State. The Maine Department of
Agriculture is now ready to assist in the
investigation and organization Of num-
Der of these clubs. Those interested
should write to A. S. Cook, assistant
dairy instructor, Augusta, Maine.

NEW ENGLAND FARMS.

The April and initial number of a
mon thly agricultural bulletin called New
England Farms, issued by the Industrial
Department of the Maine Central Rail-
road Co. and intended for free distribu-
ton among present and prospective
farmers of Maine, made it's appearance
last week. 1t is an interesting little
publication, made up of 80 pages, 6x10
in size. 1t has departments on horses
and other animals, vegetables, the dairy,
poultry, tree fruits, small fruits and
farm homes, and the advertising patron
age of business houses shows generous
appreciation of the railroads efforts to
arouse in and develop New England
agriculture. A leading article relates to
the advantage of combining fruit and
poultry raising and there is an interest
ing story of how an Ohio travelling man.
worn out physically and mentally, pur-
chased an unoccupied New England farm
and found health and prosperity in rails
ing poultry and dogs. There are several
interesting suggestions and timely hints
and the publication as whole develops a
spirit of hopefulness and courage which
cannot fail to be of benefit to its readers.
New England Farms will be mailed
without charge to present and prospec-
tive farmers who send their names and
addresses to the Industrial Department,

DESCENDANTS OF FAMOUS ALDENs,
Worthington Brothers and Mrs. B. F. Hart
man Come of Noted Family.

The item published in the San Fran
cisco papers last week stating that Har-
ry Alden, whose body was found by a
| railroad track at Cucamonga, CAL, was
the last descendant of j ohm and Priscilla
Alden is undoubtedly mistake. He might
| have been the last whose name was Alden
but Frank and William Worthingcon and
Mrs. B. F. Hartman are all lineal descen-
dants, as the genealogical records pos
sessed by them show conclusively. The
Aldens, John and Priscilla, made famous
by Longfellow, were married in 1921,
They had II children. A son David AL
den married Mercy Southworth. A daugh-
ter, Priscilla Alden the second, married
Samuel Cheeseborough in 1879. Their
daughter Priscilla Cheeseborough mar
ried Thomas Palmer in 1873. Their daugh-
ter Bridget Palmer married Benadam
Gallup in 1776 Ia brother of Capt. John
Gallup of Revolutionary fame.)
A daughter of Benjamin Gallup and
Bridget Palmer by name of Dezier mar
rled Amos Worthington in 1898, whose
son, Amos second, married Frances B
Wood in 1881. Their son, James Gallup
Worthington, married Luvia Damon in
1862. This brings the record of this
branch OF the Alden family down to the
elghtn generation that IS represented by
the Worthington brothers and Mrs. Frank
Hartman, the latter being a great grand
daughter of great grand daughter of
John and Priscilla Alden. James Gallup
Warrington being named for his grand
mother, Dezier Gallup Worthington, was
a favorite grandson and on his departure
for California in 1858 was given daguer-
reotype taken of her that year and an
antique smelling bottle of colonial design.
Her son, Timothy G. Worthington, clear
ed the forest where the NOEL ranch is To-
Gated in 1849, and it was widely known
by the pioneers. On April 8, 1862, he
passed away there about the same time
as his mother Dezier Gallup Worthington
who lived to the ripe old age of 80 years
and was the great granddaughter of John
and Priscilla Alden. Daily Evening It'd

Keep a Record of Your Cows.

A great many of the Maine dairymen
appreciate the value of weighing the
milk given by each COW daily, but some
have not done this on account of a
lack of suitable blanks for the records.
The Dairy Division of the Maine De-
partment of Agriculture has obtained a
supply of blanks which will be furnished
to Maine farmers without expense if the
farmer will make a report at the end of
the year of the monthly totals of the
milk given by each COW in his herd. APP
plication blank will be sent on receipt of
postal card. Address Dairy Division.

IMPROVED WATER TRANSPORTATIO,
In That Delightful Summer Resort, the Pin,
Tree State

In That Delightful Summer Resort, the Pine
Tree State.
What an advantage the present gen.
GRAFTON has over the past occurred to the
writer in looking over the columns of The
Belfast Republican Journal recently, a
newspaper eighty two years old, located
at Belfast, Me-, just across the Penob-
scot Bay from Castine, where we were
| born. Before leaving this vicinity Just
previous to the Civil War there was but
one line of steamboats, that navigated the
Penobscot, and those were the Boston
and Bangor boats, which called at Rock
land and Belfast both going and coming,
! and their Castlne passengers were obliged
to be ferried across from Belfast in a
sallboat. At the present time, under the
caption of 'Steamer Notes." in the pub
LEGATION referred to, we find that there
are fleet of fine steamers running daily
to all the principal ports on this beautiful
bay and river, and in season to Mount
Desert and other summer resorts, so that
the native and the tourist in the eastern
part of Maine has as desirable inland and
outside steamer service as the most i'm
portant States and seaports west of it.
For instance, there are four first-class
steamers belonging to the Boston and
Bangor route, viz, the City of Bangor,
City of Rockland, City of Belfast, and
Camden, the two latter fitted with tur-
bine machinery. These steamers are
ocean-going and stanchly built, as their
route, after leaving the Penobscot, is
many times an exceedingly rough one in
spring and fall. They do not run in
winter.
This improvement in water travel over
that enjoyed by our fathers would be no
greater surprise to them than the airship
in the future would be to those of the
present generation, as we are certainly
heading that way. Capt. George L. Nor
