TEN CENTURIES BEHIND.

Mark Twain's whimsical conceit of
a yankee at the Court of King Ar
thur" is paralleked in the reported
discovery by Explorer Stefansson of
the lost descendants of Lief the
Lucky" the reputed Morse discovsrer
of America on Victoria island. in the
Arctic. Rumors of a mysterious tribe
of white people have been common
among the Eskimos. n lave usually
been supposed. if existent. to be the
descendants of some of the polar en-
petitions that have been lost in the
far north. but M one has dreamed
that they might be descended from
a great Morse hero's party of nearly
ten centuries ago. Yet that is what
S%tefansson asserts.
The Morse discovery of this CONT

Demonstrations Show
Crops Can Be Increased
A Third by New Methods

Fergus Falls. Mimi, Sept. 49,
The grain yields on the demonstration
tracts operated by the Great Northern
railway on the different farms in this
county are opening the eyes Of the
farmers to the possibilities that lie
before them through the use of proper
seed and by means Of proper cultiva-
ton. For instance. the threshing has
recently been completed on a five acre
tract of this kind near Dalton, this
county, with the following results:
Demonstration tract. 91.s bushels Of
oats an acre; 67.1 bushels on adjoining
land.
Demonstration tract, SO bushels of
barley an acre; 48.5 bushels on ad.
Joining land.
Demonstration tract, 34.5 bushels of
wheat an acre; 24.5 bushels on ad.
joining land.
The complete report of the thresh-
ing on the demonstration tract near
Evansville has not been received, but
barley a so bushels an acre and
sold for six cents more a bushel than
n barley on the adjoining land.
The demonstrations indicate clearly
1t would be possible to increase the
grain Yields one-third with the right

THE MAINE Z

SO many issues were en,anr!cd in
the state campaign in Maine i..a. mt
defeat of the democratic candidate,
Governor Plaisted. will no, be ac.
cepted by the democrats Of the coun-
tidings in November. If it is .rue.
however. that the followers of Col
one! Roosevelt in the republican party
in Maine are more numerous than the
followers of President Taft, as has
been asserted. the bull moose lead
ers have reason to rejoice over the
showing made by the republican cam
didate.
In addition to the reciprocity issue,
which was used against the demo-
Gratis as we'll as against President
Taft, the situation in Maine was Sc
riously complicated by the opposition
to Governor Plaisted on the ground
that he had willfully failed to en-
force the prohibition laws. This is
sue. more than n other, undoubted-
lY caused OBJECTIONS from the demo-
cratic ranks.
One thing stands out clearly. and
That is the fact that the republican
party, united. is a more formidable
foe than the republican party divid-
ed. Colonel Roosevelt campaigned in
Maine. and undoubtedly his personal
ity aided the republican candidate,
for governor. The question tina is
left unanswered is whether Roose-
welt a achieve for himself, outside
The republican ranks and without the
slogan Of repu%blicanism. what he has
aided in accomplishing unded the re-
publican banner.
With the republican ranks in Maine
divided in November. there may be a
different story to tell. Undoubtedly
O new alignment may be expected
when the voters who cast their bal
lots as republicans arc forced to de-
eide III November whether they will
continue as republicans or so outside
The party ranks to take up the fight
in the third party. The question then
will be not merely a choice between
Taft and Roosevelt. but between the
republican party and tho bull moose
organization.
There will be three tickets in the
field in November. and the results OF
the state election will o be Of much
real assistance in predicting the win.
ner in the triangular struggle.
