YANKEE FARMER AS MAINE EDITOR
Christopher M Gallup Gives Pine Tree State Chance for
 Direct Primaries Graduate of Academy


 Something over year ago there vas public spirited Yankee running a. lit tie farm down in eastern Connecticut dedyard). The editor of an agricul- tural weekly published at Augusta had resigned In his search for a successor the business manager had written to a Connecticut editor who chanced to be a friend of the "insurgent' farmer, and as an outcome of the correspondence Christopher M Gallup sold out and moved to the Pine Tree State, says the Boston Globe.
 Within very short time the weekly took on new lease of life. Every day farm problems were discussed from the farmers viewpoint. Questions were asked in bold type that st1rted discus sions all over the state. Etories came in telling of she raw deals that farmers had been getting. and all of them rotten politics." The farmer editor became intensely interested in his new work.
 It took this Yankee farmer editor about four weeks travelling about the state to see what had been going on and to make up his mind as to what the people really needed, viz, the op- portunity for voting on something be- sides the rum question.
 Upward of 60,000 Patrons of Illus bandry are recorded as members of the grange in Maine and the head of this great organization was the next recruit enlisted. His address to the annual convention that year contained a bitter arraignment of political con- ditions in the state and some very emphatic observations regarding direct nominations.
 Here the farmer editor did some clever work as press agent, and the address appeared in most of the daily papers. and several of them featured the direct primary part of it in the headlines. This aroused interest and created a good deal of favorable senti- ment and before it had chance to die down MT. Gallup invited a selected list of progressive men from different parts of the state to meet in Augusta to dis cuss the situation.
 Here the sentiment crystalized in the shape of a direct primary league, which was organized to draft a thor oughgoing direct primary law and campaign for the 12.000 signatures necessary to introduce 1t under the initiative.
 Now the Augusta weekly was owned by men who were also large stock holders in sundry public service corpo- rations. Naturally their interest in ag- ficulture or the welfare of their sub scribers was secondary, and the prin- cipal reason for maintaining the paper at loss year after year was because it was the cheapest way of obtaining a certain number of votes.
 Now. this idea of stirring up the

farmers to think about something be- sides land, stock and crops and get ting them to figure out why they re- ceived so little for their labor failed to appeal to the interests behind the publication. Sundry broad hints were dropped in vain. and shortly after the new year the farmer editor was abruptly fired.
 In a very few days he was hard at work for the one progressive daily in the state, striving for reform more determinedly than ever. The relapse of the weekly to it's former policy opened the farmers eyes as nothing else could have done.
 Invitations to visit granges and other gatherings came from all directions and on every possible occasion the au- diences were plainly told what it was that Maine needed, and the steps nec- essary to get it. When the midsummer conventions of 1910 came neither party dared to omit a direct primary plank in making it's platform.
 This dual indorsement took the ques- ton out of politics in one sense, and made it possible for the grange leaders to give the direct primary formal SUD- port Meanwhile the bill had been drawn with great care and printed and finally the petitions were sent out all over the state. Twelve thousand names are a lot, but they were coming in nicely when an unforseen difficulty was encountered. The average man is not accustomed to executing documents, so a great many of the petitions came hack without having been verified in due form.
 On this account many could not be used, and as the legislature convened 1t looked as if the campaign must finally fail. G1eefuIly, the politicians announced that the voters. of Maine were not ready for full-fiedged direct primary, so that it would have to be tried out experimenta1ly first. But they reckoned without their host
 Colonial history records several names in the Gallup family whose bearers died with their boots on. The spirit seems to run in the blood yet. Instead of letting the bill go by de- fault. this young scion hustled around among the progressive citizens. raised a few hundred dollars. put paid can vassars at work in several of the cities. circulated petitions himself. and finally got the balance of the necessary names
 The bill was filed with the secretary of state, in February, and under the constitution the legislature must either pass it without amendment or submit 1t to popular vote,
 Meanwhile this effective agitator goes peacefully on his way, making friends with everybody and doing whatever is possible to promote the common good

AN EASY AND HARMLESS WAY
a TO DARKEN THE HAIR

Who does not know of the value OF
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark soft glossy and in good condi-
ton? AS a matter Of fact, sulphur is
natural element of hair, and de-
ficiency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists to be connected
with loss of color and vitality of the
hair. Unquestionably, there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp
troubles, especially premature gray
ness, than sage and sulphur, if prop
erly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical
Company of New York put up an ideal
remedy of this kind called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy and
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle and is
recomm ended and sold by
