MILLIONS OF LOBSTERS.

Cheer up! There will be no lack OF
Holsters. For 81, 600, 900 young Holsters
have been liberated along the Maine
coast between Rockland and the New
Hampshire line in the last five weeks.
Before the end of this seasons "plant-
ing"-as chucking little Holsters over
board is called-the various branches of
the State hatchery will have released
$50, 600, 600 more young Holsters than
ever gathered at all the stage entrances
in the world; $50, 600, 900, Of which mil
lions will be consumed ultimately; broil-
ed, with gallons of melted butter, and
consumed with oceans of fzz. Fifteen
thousand full-sized Holsters have been
returned to these waters also.
1t is calculated that 100 Holsters are
born every minute. AS a result of prop
agating the lobster in the State hatchery
the Maine catch has nearly doubled in
five years. In 1905 the total catch of the
fish in Maine waters was II, 1877, 947
pounds, which brought to the fishermen
81, 1874, 1856. In 1910 the catch was 49,
936, SAP pounds, valued at So, 145, 204, an
increase of 8, 1913, 595 pounds and $3.50, 849.
Only dozen years ago the State
awoke to the fact that Holsters are as
necessary as sable coats and motor cars
to the ladies of the chorus. At the same
time it awoke to the possibilities and ne
cessity of the artificial propagation of
Holsters. There were laws regulating
the size of Holsters which might be
taken, but few obeyed them. Summer
resort proprietors and visitors bought
"shorts" because they could get them
much cheaper than those of legal size.
At that time the fishermen had NOT rome

Ten Good Rules for Women With Money
to Invest.

A financial authority, writing warn
ing to women investors, lays down the
following ten rules in the October Wom-
ans Home Companion for the guidance
of women:
1. Six per cent. is liberal return for
the use of money.
2. The higher the interest return, the
less safe the investment.
3. Before buying a security find out
what you could sell it for if you owned it.
4. Stock eXtravagantly advertised
should never be bought.
5. The personal magnetism of stock
salesman does not add one cent to the
value of the stock.
8. Investment, like medicine, is a
science practised by experts.
Z. Get expert advice concerning in
vestment. You can afford to pay for it,
If necessary
8. The successful banker is the best
adviser-when he will advise.
9. Get information about securities
from as many sources as possible before
buying.
10. Don't invest hurriedly.
In the course of an interesting article
he tells several tragic stories of women
who have lost the savings of a time
in foolish ventures.

HOPEFUL BEGINNING OF A MER.
CHANT MARINE.

Two oceans without American ships!
The seven seas without sailing vessels!
And the costliest canal in the world
without merchant marine!
This is the anomaly upon which the
statesmen of American commerce bat
ter the understanding and the patriotism
! OF Congress in vain. 1t is good to know
that private enterprise and capital are
making start to alter the lamentable
conditions of American trade. The At
lantic and Pacific Transportation Com
pany, with capital of 100000, was
incorporated at Trenton on Tuesday.
The company is planning the construc-
ton OF fifteen speedy, modern steamers,
and will be the first bidder for the new
Government mail service between New
York and Colon, New Orleans and Colon,
San Francisco and Panama and Seattle
and Panama. There will be 1900, 900
tons of traffic when the canal is opened
and the company will bid for it. Its en-
terprise deserves every generous consid-
Grafton.
Behind the new enterprise stands Ber-
nard Baker OF Baltimore, a millionaire
and commercial statesman, who has
been working on the plan for years, and
whose genius and energy ought to make
him richer and more famous. Mr.. Baker
discovered on visit to the Isthmus that
the Transcontinental Railroad pool had
been paying more than 81, 600, 900 year
to the Panama Railroad to suppress com
petition, and the railroad fulfilled its
contract by refusing to build its line to
deep water. The matter was brought
before Congress.
Mr.. Baker is one of the men who do
things great things richly deserve
the fruitage of them. 1t is to be hoped
that his great enterprise will succeed,
and that it's success will stimulate other
American capitalists to redeem the Gov
ernment's shameful parsimony toward
the American merchant marine. The

BOOKS BY GARDINER AUTHORS.

Mrs. Laura E. Richards and DR.. G. E.
Heath have published two new books
this fall; one loving tribute to the
memory of an honored father and
mother, 1.-TWO Noble Lives from the
first; and another, collection of songs
and legends of the Madonna and Christ
Child, from DR.. Heath, illustrated by
copies of the masterpieces of the Old
World.
Mrs. Richards dwells particularly on
that period in the lives of her parents
which stands out -eminently as an
example of noble sacrifice of self-interest
to the good of humanity. 1t will be an
inspiration for noble endeavor to every
one who reads it. Published by Dana
Estes & Co., Boston.
DR.. Heath's little volume is a happy
combination of charming poetic fancies
with the gems of the old masters, and
will be an unconscious education of taste
for the beautiful to the child into whose
hands it may fall. Published by Richard
G. Badger, Boston.

HIS 92d ANNIVERSARY.

The No-License Campaign in Franklin
County.

In order that certain irresponsible talk
may not mislead people, there is contain
ed in this issue sworn statement of the
receipts and disbursements of all money
received and paid out by the No License
committee in the recent campaign. This
will give the people an opportunity of
judging the character of the forces and
support behind this movement. The
labor given gratuitously to the cause of
temperance was large. No local speak
er received any compensation for his SER
vices and very little toward his expenses.
Too much cannot be said in favor of the
Grange and of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union. They worked faith
fully and intelligently in favor of no H.
cense. It will be interesting and instruc-
tive if the other side will now print de-
tailed report Of their receipts and dis
bursements. -Farmington Chronicle.

A WONDERFUL STORY OF THE
CLENWOOD RANGE.

For more than a hundred years Taun-
ton, Massachusetts,, has been famous for
its stoves. The craft of molding, cast
ing, and setting up range seems in this
busy city to have been handed down,
father to son, for generation after gen.
Grafton. And yet, mention Taunton to-
day, and the mind pictures Glenwood
Range. Just thirty-two years ago three
young men started making stoves IN a
barn at Taunton. One was a designer
and patterp-maker; one foundry boss,
the third skilled molder. They all
turned carpenter long enough to add a
shed to their barn in order to accom-
modate their melting furnace.
If the casts came through all right,
their output ran up to four ranges day.
One of the first claims ever made by
the Glenwood makers is set forth in the
phrase, "Glenwood MakesC Cooking Easy
This modest claim appealed at once to
busy housekeepers, and it rang true from
home to home as fast as Glenwoods were
put in, until to-day 500, ZOO users know
make Cooking Easy" means "Glen-
wood Range"
There are one hundred and fifty parts
to the average Glenwood Range, and as
each part comes from its casting box,
it is marked with the initial of the work
man who made tiff anything is wrong
it is easy to place the blame.
The guarantee which the makers give
with each Glenwood Range or Heater is
model of sincerity and reads-"Our re-
sponsibility does not end with the sale of
this Range or Heater, but continues I'M
til it gives the Service and Satisfaction
that it was intended to give"
At present there is Glenwood Range
cast, set up and shipped every three
minutes in the day. In generation the
business has increased from four ranges
a day to one range in just the length of
time it has taken you to read this story.

NEW STEP IN CAN MAKING.
Machine Invented To Seal Hermetically
Expected to Revolutionize the Industry.

Expected to Revolutionize the Industry.
EAsTPoRT, Me-, September 10. The
American Can Company has brought out
what will probably prove to be the most
sensational piece of can-makirg machin-
cry of the year. The new machine au-
tomatically closes, clinches and hermeti-
cally seals quarter-oil sardine cans, and
has capacity of almost double the
amount of the old double seam kind. The
Dramatically sealed can has been the aim
OF the sardine industry for years, and
the best of authorities believe that this
new machine will revolutionize the in
dustry. The great drawback of the
drawn can heretofore in use has been
that under certain climatic and baromet-
ric conditions it seeps oil through it's rim
seam whereupon deterioration immedi-
ately sets in, closely followed by decom
position. The Theoretically sealed can
once sterilized remains sterile, preserv-
ing its contents indefinitely The new
can has withstood the most severe test
and remained tight under an internal
pressure of thirty pounds to the square
inch as against the six pounds in the
double seam can.
1t is now installed in one of the factc-
ries in this city. The new machine was
invented by W E Taylor, resident mana
ger of the American Can Company's To-
cal plant. Mr.. Taylor has been promi-
nent in the inventive can-making field
for number of years, having installed
and developed key-opening machinery
and made vast improvements in the roll
top can which is now commercially pos
sible, besides having introduced many
other patents in this industry. The
principles Of this hermetically sealing
machine which will doubtless be applied
to other lines of can-making machinery
in the near future, marks a great stride
in the advancement of the sardine indus-
try.
