The HuskIna Bee In Maine.

One of the old rural institutions,
which is still in vogue in spite of the
progress of modern inventions. is the
old-fashioned husking bee, says the
Kennebec Journal. The Journals cor
respondents from various sections Of
the state have been giving interesting
accounts for the past two weeks of
gatherings of this nature in their To-
cality with the accompanying harvest
supper. which seem to differ In but
few points from those recorded in
the pages Of New England story writ
ers Of Is and 50 years ago. About. the
only difference seems to be that the
modern farmer can call all his guests
together by telephone instead Of wait.

WRfTCHfD STOMACH
Rid it of Gas, Sourness and Fermen-
tation in Five Minutes, with
Mi-0-na Stomach Tablets
Hanson & Emerson Sell Them and
Guarantees Them

You eat food and keep yourself
alive. When you put food into
healthy stomach it is the duty of that
stomach to extract from the food all
of its nutritious matter.
This nutritious matter is passed a.
long to the blood, and in turn is car
ried to and supplies life to every part
of the body.
If your stomach is upset it does not
extract enough nourishment to supply
the wants of the body, and naturally
disease developes wherever the body
is weakest.
Stomach trouble or indigestion
causes dizziness, biliousness, nervous
ness, weak eyes, sick headaches, sleep
lessness, nightmare, waterbrash,
bleching Of sour. food, foul breath,
dependency, constipation and even
loss of energy and memory.
For any. stomach trouble, no matter
how bad. Hanson s. Emerson sell
and guarantee Mi-o-na stomach tab

A large box costs but SOC at Hanson
s. Emerson and druggists everywhere,
They are small and easily swallowed,
and used regularly they will surely

At five o'clock last Friday afternoon
The Herald received from e. Dana
Durand, director of the census, a
bulletin giving the 1910 count for
Sank Centre. The figures were first
ward, 7S4; second ward, 1870; total,
2,154. The U. S. census for 1900 gave
Sank Centre a total of 1920. The
state census of 1905 gave Sank Centre
.2.460. Thus it appears that there
has been material falling off in the
past five years Part of this is due to
the loss OF the Keller factory year
ago. Still, the showing was as good
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The figures for the
township of Sank Centre, also in the
bulletin, are 57S. Immediately upon
receipt of the bulletin The Herald
printed small extra and circulated
it free on the streets, leaving several
copies in the hotels and different
places of business. The Herald's en-
terprise in the matter was freely
commented on ard many compliments

FORD SOUNDS A
 NOTE OF WARNING Urges the Farmers to Hold Their Cotton Crop at
 All Hazards

Anniston. November 23.-(Special.)-1n a Farmers union just issued. o. P Ford, vice president of the Farmers Education al and Cooperative Union of Alabama, sounds a note of warning to the farmers and urges them to hold their cotton at all hazards
 My attention has just been called to another scheme of a large firm of cotton buyers says MT. Ford. This concern offers to advance $35 per bale on the cot firm reserving the right to use the cotton and making no charge for storage or in- terest. Under the plan presented the farmers are to sell next May, July or December. I warn the farmers to keep your eyes wide open and your ears to the ground, and bear in mind the fable of the spider and the fly. Don't listen to such nonsense as this. We have the holding proposition on in full blast now and if a scheme like this is worked it will spell de- feat for the farmers. The large buyers realize that they have bought about all of the distress cotton and that they will have to pay advanced prices for the remainder of this years crop. They claim there will be great surplus on account of what they term a bumper crop, and yet they seem to love the dear old farmer and the south so we'll that they are will ing to take over this surplus and advance money without interest, graciously per hitting the producers to hold an option on the crop until the year 1913 if desired. I appeal to the farmers to turn a deaf ear to all such propositions. Stand to your guns and we are bound to win
 We have had to pay for all of our sup plies during this year on a 15-cent basis and present low prices are working a hardship on cotton growers everywhere. We call upon all business men to help us get a better price for the remainder of the crop.
 How long will the people of the south stand idle and see a lot of grafters con tinue to rob us year after year? I call upon the farmers to stand firmly at your post and let nothing sdetrack you at this stage of the hardest fight we have ever had in the effort to protect our rights.
 Mir Ford returned a few days ago from a two-months' featuring rour of the state and is now at his farm near Anniston.

There is no doubt that Oscar Under wood is the greatest man in America today, and less credit is given him as great man in his own state than any state in the union. Why, actually" said Mir. Bernett, "the people in New York state are wild over him, and con sider him the biggest man in the demo- cratic party"
 Continuing MT. Burnett said: oscar Underwood is the only politician that I have ever seen that has made modesty the crowning feature of his leadership. He Is man who never losses his head, and during my II years of association with the man in Congress, never has he in the least, with one exception, dis played loss of temper, and that was the tilt between himself and Ollie James of Kentucky, and then like the broad man that he is, saw his mistake and acknowledged it on the floor of the house. Truly, l believe he is the great est man in the democratic party today" MT. Burnett said further: Boys. we can win with Oscar Underwood. There is not the least doubt in my mind of that fact. There is a misconstrued idea that the people of the northwest and the east will not vote for southern man, and the southern people have al- ways been their own greatest enemies. There is no grudge in the north against the southern people, and to show this
 fact, Mir. Underwood will get thous- ands of votes in the north that would not get otherwise, mainly to show that there exists no i'll feeling toward the I,
