STILL SILENT.

Chattanooga, June 30 -Uuited States
Senator James b. Frazier has returned
to his home from Washington. Asked
for statement as to his intentions re.
garding his probable race for reelection
the senator said he had not yet decided
his course. He intimated that he

as to what his attitude might be. Sen
ator Frazier probably will be in the
city for several weeks.

In Committees Hands.

TIL, statement was also auth
orized that the senator would
make no appointments himself
for speaking dates, but that this
matter would be in the hands OF
the state executive committee,
which would assign him to such
time as might be thought best.
Senator Taylor further author
lied the statement that, while he
disliktd to lose so large amount
as that which he would otherwise
have secured from the lecture
platform this summer, he felt
that in the interest of the state
he should take the stump and
sacrifice whatever personal desire
he might have to act otherwise.
This amount would be direct
loss to the senator unless the eX-
ecutive committee sees fit to pay
his actual expenses, according to
the announcement authorized to-
day.

Loss TO HIM ABOUT $500.
Says Pattersonites Are Not Going
to Bear His Chatauqua Losses.
His Own Sacrifice.

Washington, June 2S.-Sena-
tor Taylor denies that he is to be
by the Patterson exec
utive committee.
When it became known that
Tay Tor was cancelling a long
Chatauq ua season of dates to
stump Tennessee for Patterson's
ticket, it also became rumored
among Tx nnesseeans here that
belong Rice, who left here to-
night had assured him that all
his lecture losses would be made
good.
Everybody knows that Bob"
Taylor is not a rich man, and
not one likely to pass up a go1d
Chatauqaa season FOR the cause
of regulars"
Senator Taylor today annonc-
ed that he had cancelled Chau-
taqua dates which would lose
him $4,000.
This amount, it is stated, rep
resents only four weeks, for each
of which the senator was to re-
ceive 5000. He believes that
having once gone into the field,
he may be compelled to cancel
other engagements-in fact, all
of them, at personal loss OF be-
tween 50, 900 and SIC, 900.

N. c. R. R. COURTEOUS
TO FAIR EXHIBITORS
Sheep and Swine Transported Free
10 Fairs.

Announcement has recently been
made by the Maine Central railroad
that during the present year sheep
and swine will be transported to and
from the several state fairs free OF
all expense. This Is quite a radical
change in the arrangement for trans
portation of stock to fairs. For
many years exhibitors of these two
kinds of live stock have been Obliged
to pay charges one way, while hors-
es and cattle have been carried both
ways without expense Exhibitors OF
sheep and swine will undoubtedly ap
preciate this courtesy extended to
them on the part Of the railroad, and
the exhibits at the different fairs will
naturally be increased on account OF
the change.

OUR HENS EXCEL As
GOOD LAYERS
Eggs Higher Here Than
In Other States
The Poultry Industry In the State Of
Maine.

The value of the poultry products
in the State of Maine for the year
1909 was between $5,000.000 and &c.
900, 900. The aggregate number of
hens kept is not so large as In many
other states, but the production per
hen Is high. According to the last
census reports, the hens of Maine lay
better than those of any other state
In the Union. The average produc-
ton per hen for all the hens In
Maine Is 85 dozens. Massachusetts,
and New Hampshire come next with
an average of dozens. The extra
value of the half dozen eggs laid by
each OF the several million hens In
Maine is one of the advantages that
poultry keeping in Maine has over
the other states.
Maine has a very healthful and In
yigorating climate. Poultry Is kept
and thrives we'll all over the State.
The fowls lay better in summer than
fowls farther south. as 1t Is not so
warm, and they lay we'll In winter
since the quite general adoption of
the Maine State curtain-front laying
house. Much poultry Is grown about
the coast and along the main lines of
the railroads.
The average prices paid for poultry
produced in Maine is high compared
with other states. The close prox-
unity of the Boston and other New
England markets and the vast influx
of so many summer visitors aid ma
terially in keeping prices up. When
prices drop In Boston, In summer
there is q good demand at home.
Maine is proud of her transporta-
ton facilities. Many prominent poul-
try plants take advantage of the fact
that eggs in Maine today can be In
Boston in time for breakfast tomor-
row morning.
Quite a number of large poultry
farms are being successfully operat-
ed in the State of Maine. The meth
cd generally used by the successful
poultry keepers is to go into 1t grad
ually. first combining poultry with
some other pursuit, such as truck
gardening, potato growing, orchard
luS, udiryin6, clC. mdiy poultry hieIi
buy land with sufficient timber on 1t
to build their own houses.
The standard of breeding stock, OF
housing, of feeding is high. The
foundation has been laid. Eggs are
being produced in large numbers,
poultry Is being grown. and the State
of Maine Is awakening more than
ever to its possibilities in the poultry
line.

ankle, as was at first reported, she

An Easv Fit.

A number OF years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
GUS woman-hater. II was before the
day of ready made clothing, and want
ing new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements. and when
she cut the coat. made a liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying it on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer
NO, l hain't," said Obed I've got
