Not Afraid to Talk.

Senator Gardner talks fearlessly on the
topics Of state and national interest, 0a-
vors all the reforms the National Grange
has called for in recent years and is a
genuine progressive. He has urged fed

postal savings banks, direct election of
senators. defeat of ship subsidy. strict
food laws and he is opposed to a partisan
tariff commission.
He has leased the Mount Bettox farm
for term of years. If he was not to
be in Washington no other place would
be home to him. That shows that he
is imbued with a considerable amount
of confidence, too, that he will be sent
back to the Senate for a full term OF
six years.

Gardner of Maine Likes Base
Ball and Other Things.
DOESN'T MIND A FIGHT
In Fact, He Always Has Courted
Trial Of Strength.
A FARMER, BUT PUGNACIoUs
Won Prominent Position in Grange
by Opposing Powers That Be.
Stood for Repeal.

Clark Griffiths Nationals have gained
another rooter at the same time that
Maine has gained another democratic
senator. Obadiah Gardner, who has just
arrived in town to fill out the term of the
late Senator William P Frye, knows all
| about base hits, errors. clean steals, spit
balls, fadeaways. crossfires, inshoots and
four-cushion swats. He was president
once of the Knox County League up in
Maine, and was some player himself,
soon after the war, when the present
popular and best known national pastime
was in its swaddIing clothes.
Along with the Senate base ball coterie,
which prefers the Florida avenue park
to the dull doings in the Senate wing,
during the lazy days of early summer,
Senator Gardner will wend his way to
the game early next season. His col
league, Senator Charles +. johnson, also
likes the game and may be expected to
accompany him frequently to the ball
yard.
How many senators can stroll along
side a yoke of steers or fulI-grown oxen
swing the slender oak goadstick over
their SHOUTS and backs with the true
skill of an experienced teamster? There sat
least one-this same man Gardner, farmer
who has trained steers, followed the pillow,
MIXED cows, cut wood and sawed wood
too. In fact, the saving process. fig
uratively speaking, won this enviable
toga for him in field of at least a dozen
starters. He had them all strung out at
the half and Hoped home, head up and in
en- easy canter.
Grange Is a Power.
More than 10000 members are enrolled
In the Maine State Grange and there was
an insistent demand among the grange
for a farmer in the Senate and the
grange made known it's wishes with per-
sistency. Gov. Frederick NJ. Plaisted de-
liberated five weeks on the matter, after
the death Of Senator Frye, and decided he
could not afford to disregard this senti-
ment. He named Obadiah Gardner of
Rockland, for ten years state master of
the organization.
Mr.. Gardner has lived on a big farm
less than two miles out from the center
of the city of Rockland 1t is pic
turesque, slightly spot, half way up
mountain side. That is the habit of
Maine farmers-to locate on high ground
and then build roads up to get in and
out. Mr.. Gardeners home Is on the south
eastern slope of Mount Bettox, and he
named his herd of famous Jerseys after
the mountain.
That herd was started with one
thoroughbred heifer. He had a classy
circle of butter producers In a few years.
A visitor suggested that he exhibit them.
Presently he did SO, and never lost blue
ribbon on the herd or any of its in
dividuals while he kept the herd intact
Mr.. Gardner became actively interest
ed in the grange many years ago. He
had ideas, expressed them, and became
leader. 1t was natural that he should
forge to the front and he was chosen the
state master, position he filled ten
years

FARMERS HOLDING COTTON
FOR ADVANCE IN PRICE
Course of tho Market Naturally Is a
Matter Of Specuation-Nine Hun
dred Bales Ginned

The weekly cotton letter of Daily Bros.
&, Gage, Ell Centre cotton brokers, says:
The American ginning report issued
October showed 1868, ,066 bales of cot
ton ginned to September 25, or more than
a million bales over any previous record.
The condition report of the agricultural
bureau on the same date gave the condi
ton of the 1914 crop to September 25
as I'll, as against 1872 last month and
69.7 in the big crop of 1908. The report
was considered exceptionally bearish, and
confirmed the prediction that the crop
will amount to more than 14,000,000 bales.
In addition to the census report, the re-
ceipts at interior points were very heavy,
and the South continued to sell freely
forcing the market below the 10cent
level, October delivery in New Orleans
selling at $50 cents and as low as 9.7S
cents.
Foreign markets are still in an unset
tied condition, and the continent is only
buying sparingly, due to further compi
cations in the general European situa-
ton because of the war between Italy
and Turkey. These countries at war no
doubt affect European trade consider
ably, thereby leaving an enormous stock
on American hands. as they are not pro-
uucers of cotton, but consumers.
The total visible supply of American
cotton is now 1,634, ,554 as against 1,315,-
305 bales last year.
In Imperial valley about 80 bales have
been ginned to date. The production
per acre is far better than last year. and
the character of the octton is excellent.
Many farmers are holding, but there is
fair amount being sold each week. The
course of the market in the future is ma
turally q matter of speculation.
