1t is evident that there will be a large
attendance Of business men of Hancock
county at the merchants congress to be

obtain from the visit something well
worth coming for.
William J. Pilkington, Of DesMoines,
Iowa, editor Of the Merchants Trade
Journal, will be the principal speaker at
the congress, and this will be his only
speech east OF Boston.
Mr.. Pilkington has won more than
national fame through his efforts in be-
half of the retail merchant and in busi-
ness building. He is an inspiring speaker,
and more than q theorist, Is he has dem
onstrated by practical work.

evening, both open to the public gem
orally, and there will be much in the
addresses and discussions Of general in
terest.
Mr.. Pilkington will speak both after
noon and evening. In the afternoon his
subject will be "Retailing OF Merchandise

give his impressions of local conditions
as he finds them. In the evening his SUBJ
ject will be ssThere is No Such Thing as
Opportunity.
Secretary Blanding, Of the State board
Of trade, will speak in the afternoon on
"Our State and Her Business Possibili-
ties". Mr.. Blanding is an optimist OF the
most pronounced kind where the future
OF Maine is concerned, and he will speak
especially on local conditions.
Rev. r. B. Mathews will speak in the
evening on "Local Problems, and it is
safe to say that he will give the people Of
Ellsworth particularly something worth
hearing and which will furnish food for
thought.
The Ellsworth Merchants association,
under whose auspices this congress is
held, has sent out invitations to business
men all over the county and in this Sec
tion Of the State. Responses have been
received from many Of them signifying
their intentions Of being present.

MANY new FACES
IN next CONGRESS

Washington-The sixty-second con-
gress will be almost unacceptable.
Never since the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary have SO many
LEADERS" failed of denomination.
Tawney of Minnesota; Boutell of
Illinois, Gardner of Michigan, Scott of
Kansas, Sparry of Connecticut, Nudd
of Maryland and Huff of Pennsylva-
mia are among few of the prominent
republicans who will fail to answer the
roll call. Uncle Lou Livingstone is
the most conspicuous of the demo-
cratic absentees.
The situation in the senate will be
as bad If not worse. With Hale. Aid
rich, Burrows, Flint and Piles certain
ly out, and a sure thing that Bever-
idge, Dick, Depew, Scott, Carter and
a number of others may not follow,
the senate after March 4 next will re-
semble a picked chicken so far as
leaders are concerned. The next con-
gress will have greater proportion
Of new statesmen than any congress
has had in recent years.

ton of Disaster to New
Hampshire's Barge.

New York.-There was given out
from the battleship New Hampshire
a list of 29 men who were supposed
to have persisted by the swapping OF
a barge, which was being towed to
the vessel at anchor in the Hudson
River Saturday night. Appended Ito
this list are names of II men who
are still absent, but who were not
recognized as having been in the
swamped boat.
On board the Louisiana, Admiral
Vreeland convened court of inquiry to
determine the exact cause of the &C.
cident and place the responsibility.
Cause Not Yet Known.
Various versions of how the acct
dent occurred are in circulation. The
generally accepted one, however, was
that the barge, heavily loaded with
sailors and marines, returning from
shore leave, was towed into the heavy
swells of a passing steamer. Rising
for moment like a cork, the barge
then plunged into the trough between
two waves, one of which broke over
the side and Swamped it.

ECONOMY OF SILhGE
AS A DAIRY FEED,

Those dairy farmers VIII doubt
whether 1t pays to have silage are
those who have never fed it, writes G
w. Patterson, dairy expert.
The silo will cheaper the cost Of
feeding. Too many farmers have the
impression that the profits in the
dairy business are controlled entirely
by the cost or value of the butter and
the amount sold. They fail 10 appre
ciate how important is the cost of pro
duction.
The other day farmer told me that,
inasmuch as we would probably have
a scarcity Of feed this fall and win
ter, he would have to economiz- with
his feed, or, in other words, feed less.
He failed to see that the more cow
eats and the. more she diges the
more milk she will give and the more
profit she will make. Econonu does
not come from skimping on tie iced
1t takes a certain amount Of feed to
maintain the body. All above tlis can
be utilized for the production of milk.
The silo enables us to furnisI the
COWS with the greatest possible
amount of digestible nutrients from
the feed. Theory and practice 10Th
show that about 40 per cent ot me
feed nutrients of the corn plant re in
the stalk and leaf. About twelve
acres of average corn put up as 81

100 tons Of silage. lnasmuch as silaee
contains 1910 per cent of digestibln nu-
trients, 120 tons will contain about
3O.96O pounds. Since the per cent
digestible nutrient in corn is ISIS, it
would require some 7O1 bushels ID

contained in 12O tons of silage.
