POTATO GROWERS OF MAINE

ton has now been formed with its
plans definitely outlined. and is now

as well as the grower.
This association Is the result of the
united efforts Of the two Pomona
oranges in the county. through a
Joint committee which began it's work
early IN April. The objects Of the as
sociation are to adopt a more careful
system Of handling and grading, har-
vesting and shipping: to acquire new
and better markets by having agents
In different consuming. or shipping
centers, so as to keep posted on con-
ditions and requirements: to devise
better and more economic methods Of
marketing, thus making a saving to
the producer without increasing the
cost to the consumer. There are sew

citation expects to take up later, but
there is feeling among the promo
tiers, that II is best to make haste
slowly along these lines

held, with not less than 20 members.

general management.
All shipments are to be inspected
by competent inspectors employed by
the association, and mona will be al
lowed to leave the county that are
not fully up to the guarantee. II Is
expected that the handling of seed
stock may form quite a part Of the
business of the association and an at
tempt will be made to so conduct
this branch of the work as to insure
to each purchaser absolute certainty
that he receives the variety he de-
sired and that the stock is good Of

man; after breakfast he was accus-
toned to so to his library and spend

sary for him to devote to lectures at
the seminary.
Mrs.. gtowe. who was one Of the
most practical Of women. being fully
the equal In This respect of her sister.
Catherine Beecher. who gained high
authority as teacher Of domestic
economy. was accustomed to visit Bos-
tor once or twice week for shopping.
One morning. at breakfast. Mrs. Stowe
said to her husband that she thought
she would go In to Boston that day.
and take a train which left Andover
about nine o'clock That would en-
able her. she said. to complete her
shopping and get back to Andover In
the mid-afternoon.
She went to the city as she planned.

ping and returned home about three
O'Clock in the afternoon. She went at
once to the library and greeted her
husband. who looked up from his
work. He said: why didn't you 60
to Boston, Where have you been?"
II have been to Boston and / have
just returned" was the reply.
"How could you have done that?"
DR.. Stowe asked. Il saw you pass
through the lfbssry at about eleven
o'clock"

Boston at eleven o'clock"
That Is impossible" DR.. Stowe re
piled. Il was busy at my work.
heard the library door open. looked
up and saw you pass through the H.
brary: you turned and smiled at me.
and then went on and passed out Of
the door at the other end Of the
room"
Are you sure about the timer" Mrs
Stowe asked. II did look into the
room to say goodbye just before nine
o'clock"
Eyes, I remember that very well. I"
DR.. Stowe cried But. then when you
passed through the room at eleven
o'clock II occurred to me that you had
given up your trip to Boston"
did have my bonnet ont" AIRS.
Stowe asked
mo, and that was the reason felt
sure that you had decided to stay at
home"
Mrs. Stowe asked no further ques-
lions. She realized that her husband
was absolutely certain that he had
seen her pass through the room at
eleven o'clock, so certain that he could
describe some details IN her dress.
and noticed that she greeted him with
a smile. Afterward she recalled the
fact that at Just about eleven O'Clock.
when she was in store in Boston. all
of a sudden she thought of her hus-
band and pictured him to herself as
busily engaged with bis books and his
manuscripts upon the desk in his ~
brary. Could that thought have had
anything to do with her husbands
positiveness that she had passed
through his library at eleven O'Clock
that morning. Over that question
Mrs. Stowe puzzled for long time,
but she never found a satisfactory
answer.
