POTATO GROWERS OF MAINE
Form Organization for Handling Crop
and Putting It on Markets to
Best Advantage.

| have several times mentioned the
fact that the Aroostook potato grow
ers of Maine were attempting to form
an association to aid them in grow
ing and handling their potatoes and
in placing them upon the markets
more advantageously. This associa-
ton has now been formed with its
plans definitely outlined, and Is now
ready for business, says writer In
the New England Homestead. Through
its methods, the consumer may profit,
as well as tie grower
This association is the result Of the
united efforts of the two Pomona
oranges in the county, through a
joint committee which began its work
early in April. The objects Of the as
sociaton are to adopt 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
eral other lines Of bushes the asso-
citation expects to take up later, but
there is a feeling among the promo
ters, that II Is best to make haste
slowly along these lines.
The association is capitalized for
100000, divided into 10000 shares Of
five dollars each. AS 1t Is grange
movement the stock Is to be sold only
to members of the order, or to such
oranges as may elect to become stock
holders. The plan Is to establish a
shipping station at every place In the
county where 60 shares Of stock are
held, with not less than 20 members
At smaller stations and at sidngs
shipments will be made through the
general management.
All shipments are to be inspected
by competent inspectors employed by
| the association, and none Will be al
lowed to leave the county that are
not fully up to the guarantee. 1t IL
expected that the handling OF seed
stock may form quite 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 dc
sired and that the stock Is good o.

tons and in their devotion to their
children" said Gen. Daniel H. Siekles of
President Lincoln and his wife Sunday
at the morning service at the Deems
Memorial Church of the Strangers, in

erection OF Mary Todd Lincoln memo
rial building at the college Gen Sickles
said:
1T was my opportunity to serve on
the staff OF the president, who intrusted
me with many important missions and
confidential duties. The life in the
White House of President Lincoln and
his wife was series. of painful scenes,
which eontrasted strangely with the joys
of their life. He always looked to her
for comfort and consolation in his trou-
bles and cares. Indeed, the only joys
poor Lincoln knew after reaching the
White House were his wife and children
She shared all his troubles and never
recovered from the eliminating blow
when he was assassinated.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich.
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence Of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, inability to hold urine, smarting
or burning brick-dust or sediment, sal
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help imme-
diately to avoid more serious trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no min.
erals or opiates has the most healing in
fluence. An ideal herbal compound that
has had most remarkable success as a
kidney and bladder remedy is DIR. Kill

west side court yesterday, charged with
the murder on September Is Of her hus-

Few recognized the demure, graceful
figure, clad in blue tailor.made gown.

realize that the principal figure in a

aire as well as the dark climax Of MUIR
der, was before them.
The Patterson case will be the first
to be tried, under the new jury system
in Colorado, by which the names of 1000
taxpayers are kept in "jury Wheel

The Harvester Trust in Missouri
Appeal
1T HAS BEEN A GOOD" TRUST
Denies the Raising of the Price of Farm
Tools-The Company Has Not
Taken Advantage Of the
Buyers.
IT HAS BEEN A GOOD" TRUST

jefferson City, Mo-, Nov 2l.--Quoting
Colonel Roosevelt's recent declaration for
square DEAF for both the corpora
tions and the public, the international
Harvester company yesterday filed in the
supreme court OF Missouri a motion for
a rehearing of the recent case, in which
II was conditionally ousted from the
state and fined $4,000 on charge of vio-
lating the state antitrust law, The gist
of the notion is that the Harvester COM
pany ought not TO be punished for the
mere possession Of power, and it an
nounced its intention of vigorously re-
sisting the fine
The brief quotes this language from
the courts opinion by Chief Justice Val
liant; son the whole, the evidence
shows that the international Harvester
company has not used its power to OPP
press or injure the farmers who are its
customers
Also from a separate opinion of Judge
Franklin FerTiss of st. Louis, as fol-
lows,
an this case the court is required by
the statute TO pronounce a judgment OF
condemnation on combination which
is proved by the facts in this record to
have been so far beneficial TO the com.
munity that the price OF mowers and
Teapers has not been raised inr proper
ton to the increased cost of materials
and labor and that otherwise incidental
benefits have accrued to the consumers,
and furthermore, that independent man
ufacturers have not suffered by reason
of the combination"
Referring to the fine, the company
says it will oppose it, mot 50 much
because of its amount as because of the
fact, as is contended, that so large a fine
will create the impression that the com
pany has been unfair or oppressive in
its dealings, and therefore deserved so
severe punishment, while the language
OF the courts opinion is TO the contrary
The brief quotes former President
Roosevelt as follows:
"We demand that big business must
give the people a square deal; in return
we must insist that when anyone en-
gagged in big business honestly endeayors
to do right, he shall himself be given
square deal We need to formulate i'm
medately and definitely policy which,
in dealing with big corporations that
behave themselves and which contain no
menace save what is necessarily poten-
tial in any corporation which is of great
size and very well managed, shall aim,
not at their destruction, but at their
regulation and supervision

OFF
THE TRIAL
Judge Carpenter PostpOneS That
Of Chicago Meat Packers
UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING
No Appeal to Supreme court-counsel
NotsYet Ready for Such
Move--May Come
Later.
UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING

Chicago, Nov. 2l.--Judge George A,
Carpenter Of the United States district
court yesterday postponed until Wednes-
day, the trial of J. Ogden Armour and
nine other packers charged with yiolat-
ing the criminal provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust act,
The postponement was in cognizance
of the action of Judge Kohlsaat of the
United States circuit court in quashing
the habeas corpus granted the packers
and holding the entry OF the order until
Wednesday.
j. Ogden Armour the only defendant
directly concerned in the habeas corpus
proceedings, might have been placed on
trial, but Judge Carpenter announced
that he was not disposed to try his case
separately.
District Attorney Wilkerson asked for
a stipulation that when the order is en-
tered by Judge kohlsaat, Wednesday,
the defendants must give bail in the
district court. Attorneys for the pack
ers made no objection to this.
Counsel for the packers refused TO in.
innate what their next move will be.
After the court proceedings terminated,
the roll Of $50 venire men was called
and the court listened to excuses and
pleas for non-service.
Commenting upon the adjournment Of
the supreme court, Levy Meyer, of eoun-
sci for the packers, said they had no
intention Of making an appearance in
the federal supreme court yesterday
morning, as the record could not be
completed in time. He added;
However, that does not mean that
we may not do something in that di-
rection later.
One rumor yesterday appeared to have
some foundation and that was that eoun-
sci for the packers might appeal TO
"a state court. District Attorney Will
kerson said.
"Any attempt made for delay before
a state court will be met Immediately
by some lively action"
