NEARLY TWO THOUSAND
CHILDREN ARE INVITED
Sons and Daughters of w. R.
&c. Co. to Meet Santa at
National Theater.

Nearly 1900 children. all sons and
daughters of the empoyes of the Wash
ngton Railway and Electric ard its sub
sidiary companies, will be entertained by
the company at the New National Thea
ter the afternoon of December q. Old
Santa Claus himself will be there, it is
nounced, and will present each child
with a Christmas token.
Illustrated invitations have been sent to
all the youngsters. 4 ticket of admission
and a souvenir badge to wear were in
cluded, as well as a ticket good for a
ride home. Special cars will be provided
at various points throughout the city for
bringing the children to the theater.
More Than 81, 900 Expended.
More than $1,000 has been spent in the
purchase Of toys, candy, fruit, nuts and
books. Following the slogan Of the Wash
ingtOn Board of Trade to purchase in
Washington" all the articles were bought
here.
Various entertaining features have been
devised for the boys and girls. The pro-
will be opened one hour earlier.
This entertainment which has been a
yearly affair with the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company for the last
twelve years, is believed to be unique
with that company. No other railway or
ganization in this country duplicates it
SO far as is known. Since the inception of
this feature it has been necessary to OBJ
tain larger halls every few years.

Every farmer should prepare
now to grow his seed for next
years crop. For this, one-half
an acre or more of the most fer
tile soil should be selected, some
distance from the main crop. If
the seed plot is too close to the
main crop, cross.pollination will
occur and the seed will be no
better than good average seed
from the main crop, as pollen is
often carried twenty or more
rods by the wind. Secure the
best available seed for this plot
from a reliable farmer or seeds
man; or il none suitable can be
purchased, select the best ears
on hand Zone gallon of shelled
corn will be sufficient for half an
acre. to secure a uniform type
suitable to the soil and locality.

Every root cut off by a deep cul-
nvator or pillow Injuries the plant.
The loss Of multitudes of fibrous
roots at each Of three or four
deep plowings is very injurious
to the crop, and results in a low
er yield.
The weeder should start lust
as the corn is first coming through
the ground. Its use will help
the seeding plants to get through
and prevent the evaporation of
some tons of moisture from the
soil. The use of the weeder
should be continued once a week
or oftener, and especially after
each rain, until the crop is too
high for its use. This not only
saves the moisture for the crops
needs. but destroys The weeds
Immediately they appear above
the ground. One man With a

Com PLANTING, BY A. SPENCER
Many farmers plant more seed
com per acre than they expect
will grow, because they know
mart Of it will not terminate,
end look forward to thinning out
and replanting if necessary.
Seed corn of low termination
will not give an even stand.
Hence the vacant hills in many
field . 1t 10 best to avoid plant
ing moldy or weevil-eaten seed.
One can select for seed heavy
well-ripened ears of the type
that has best suited the locality.
Then the butts and tips are
shelled off, and only the grain
from the middle Of the ears plan
ted.
Ten per cent, of vacant hills
will lower the yield from two to
five bushels per acre. This APP
Piled to the corn ropof the entire
State may be estimated at morel
than one million bushels loss onl
the 1912 creP of corn.
The seed should not be plant.
ed until the soil is well prepared.
The whole field should be broken
deeply and thoroughly worked
Much of the hoeing and wedding
can be avoided by thorough cul-
tivation before the seed is plan
ted. Some moisture will be lost
when it is most needed, and
there will be an uneven distri-
button of the applied fertilizer, if
the soil is not thoroughly pre-
pared.
Scatter the fertilizer broadcast.
The corn roots grow ten or more
feet, and spread across from
row to row. Cover the SEED
about four inches deep.
One cannot get the maximum
yield of corn from well prepared
oil that has been properly fer
tilted, if the rows are too far
apart. The rows should be set
four feet apart, with one stalk
every IL inches in the row. This
will give 10, 800 plants per acre.
Planting FIVE feet apart and Is
inches or more in the row, a
common practice, gives 1900 or
fewer plants per acre. If the
crop is frequently cultivated dur
ing its growth, and the soil well
prepared as suggested above,
there will be not much likelihood
of a firing" With more than
50 per cent. more plants we may
usually expect a nearly cores
bonding increase in the bushels
of corn per acre.
Many bushels Of corn are lost
each year by to- deep cultiva
ton during the growing season.

Burleieh the Man for Maine.

Gardner Reporter Journal)
Former Congressman Edwin C. Bur-
leigh has formally announced his can
didacy for the U. S. senate to succeed
Senator Gardner, as it was expected
he would. Mr.. Burleigh was mem
Der Of the House for fourteen years,
and during that time his constituents
were well served, whether they were
Republicans or Democrats and his
popularity in his district was shown in
the last election where although he
was defeated in the general landslide
he ran considerably ahead Of his
ticket, and would doubtless have been
elected if many of the voters had not
been afraid to undertake to split their
ballot He is an able organizer and a
hard worker, an honest man, and no
man besides former Senator Hale
would be more at home In the Senate
from the start. He Is q candidate
whom the Republicans can support
most cordially.

In a Enthusiastically brief but
pointed letter addressed to the Repub-
lican party of Maine. ex-Gov. E. c.
Burleigh announces that he is can
didate for the United States senator
ship.
If long, faithful and conspicuously
able public service entities one to a
continuation in it, then Gov. Burleigh
is justified in aspiring to the Office of
senator.
Throughout his career as public
officials land agent back in the '70s;
as State treasurer in the SOS; as gov
ernor for two terms; as representative
in Congress for seven consecutive
terms, he has proved himself faith
full, useful and honorable public SER

his party and his friends. and there
fore has the unbounded confidence Of
the people Of Maine.

BurIeiah for v. S. Senator.
(Pittsf1eld Advertiser.)

Political news of interest and i'm
portance came from Augusta, Sunday
night, in the Associated Press dis
patch announcing the candidacy of
Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh for election
to the United States Senate to sue
coed Hon. Obadiah Gardner.
Mr.. Burleigh's candidacy was fore
casted some weeks ago in the press
and had been urged and expected by
many prominent Republicans, but the
dispatch gives the first definite an
nouncement of his intention to seek
the nomination. Mr.. Burleigh is
known everywhere in Maine as strong
and consistent Republican, who in the
course of many years of public service
has accomplished much for his dis
trict and his State. He was State land
agent in 1868, State treasurer in
1858, Governor in 1SS9-92 and repre-
sented the Third district in the 55th,
seth, 57th. 5Sth, 59th, Goth and 61st
Congresses. being defeated for cleo
ton to the SD Congress in 1910 by
Hon. Samuel W. Gould of Skowhegan,
the vote standing: Gould 17,1S7, Bur
leigh 1878; Goulds plurality 1889. A
man of fine character and decided tai
ent for public affairs, his natural abil-
ity developed by long experience, Mr..
Burleigh is eminently qualified to rep
resent Maine in the upper House of
the national legislature.
Governor Burleiehss Candidacy.
(Hallowell Register.)
The State wide interest in the Sena-
torial candidacy of Hon. Edwin c.
;rI h,,4
weekly papers Of Maine, is significant
of the hold which quiet, unassuming
man of the people builds up by years
of faithful service. Governor Bur-
leigh is known in every city and town
and on every farm in Maine, and
wherever a man is found who has had
any sort of business deal or social re-
lation with him, there one finds re-
spect and admiration for the former
representative.
All the leading daily papers and q
great majority of the weeklies of the
State have had kindly words to say of
Governor Burleigh in the last ten days.
Larger papers beyond the borders of
the State have paid deserving tribute,
and correspondents from all quarters
have voiced their approval.
We believe these evidences prove
the public approval of men who do
things and forget to brag about it.

As CORRESPONDENT. See It.

The following is from the Dexter
correspondence OF the Bangor News:
Many Dexter voters received letters,
Wednesday, from Hon. Edwin c. Bur-
leigh of Augusta announcing his can
didacy for the United States Senate
and judging from remarks heard Gov.
Burleigh will receive hearty support
from his many friends in this and
neighboring towns. It believe" said
one Dexter Republican, that Mr.. Bur
leigh is by far the strongest and best
qualified man for the position of any
of those who aspire to the office anG
I look to see him get hearty support
from all sections of Maine and par
ticularly from this immediate section
of the State. He is we'll known here
and the majority Of the people recog-
nize his true worth as a quiet, unas-
Stunning gentleman who has the best
interests Of his State at heart and who
will work for Maine, laying aside all
petty political lines"

Our Candidate.

(Skowhegan Independent-Repor
New candidates for high official po-
sitions demand from an intelligent
electorate the brazing of new ale
giances. The Observation-Disclosures
this week, announces it's support in
the present campaign of Hon. Edwin
c. Burleigh. of Augusta, for United
States senator.
The Observation-Disclosures can per-
form no greater service for the people
of this good county of Somerset OF,
for that matter. of the whole State,
than to do all within it's power to get
Edwin c. Burleigh into the United
States Senate. His long and highly
honorable record as Congressman
from the old Third District surely en-
titles him to the respect and conf
dence of our citizens generally. while
his wholehearted interest in all that
concerns the welfare Of Maine richly
merits Jealous championing OF his
candidacy. The people OF Maine know
Mr.. Burleigh. and Mr.. Burleigh, in
turn, knows the good people of Maine;
that is why we feel confident of see
ing him again honored by the voters.
In commenting upon the candidacy
of Mr.. Burleigh 1t is interesting and
highly suggestive to note the prompt
endorsement which has been given
him by the press Of Maine Daily and
weekly newspapers alike have united
in prophesying his election. Without
exception, these newspapers have edi-
torially praised him as man Of sterl-
ing integrity and splendid ability,
and they speak Of him Furthermore as
a mighty good fighter. His candidacy
has done more to put life into the Re-
publican party members than any
other or any half dozen other politi-
cal happenings in the last two years
The day OF redemption seems already
nigh at hand.
His biographical sketch will doubt
less find place in the news columns
Of this paper; it will be instructive
reading to the younger generation Of
voters and for that reason should be
reprinted and read by them; but to
the older generation such a sketch is
altogether unnecessary; the facts con-
tanned in it are as well known to the
average Maine voter as the decalogue
to the average church goer. Editorial
ly, we are not concerned with any
biographical matter; We wish to do
little more than give straightforward
announcement that we are with Mr..
Burleigh in this fight to the very finish.

Bangor dispatches of Portland Ex-
press)
The sentiment in the First District
is estimated as very strongly in favor
of Ex-Governor Burleigh. He is said
to be receiving 100 letters day in
which voters as well as political lead
ers are pledging themselves to him
and his candidacy.
This same holds true in the Second
District, according to gossip around
the State House last week. The ex-
Governor has been indulgent toward
those who sought his advice or as
sistance all over the State This was
true when he was in Congress and he
has been running a factory for max
ing friends the past 40 odd years.
1t is conceded that the Third Dis
trict which he represented in Con-
gress IA years, will be substantially
solid for him. A vindication for the

Mr.. Rurleieh to the Senate.

Commenting on Governor Burleigh's
candidacy. the Bangor News says,
,editorially:
In the first place, Mr.. Burleigh is
what is known as the logical candt-
date" for the Senate for all Maine Re-
pubncans to support. He was the SEN
Tor member from Maine in the Maine
House at the time he quit the national
house for private life, two years ago.
In most Republican states-and in
many Democratic states as well-this
habit of elevating the senior in point
of service in the House to the first
vacancy in the federal Senate from
that state, has been honored and re-
spected for years Surely there can
be no exception made to this rule
against Mr. Burleigh this year, or
next year.
IT steadfast loyalty to his party, to
his party platforms and to his party
candidates count for anything, these
noble qualifications are all on the side
of Mr.. Burleigh and not with any
other candidate within the Republican
party of Maine.
Twice within the past ten years has
Mr.. Burleigh written to his friends and
supporters, positively refusing the use
of his name for senatorship. while
Senators Hale and Frye consented to
hold the seats they occupied with SO
20 ca1x md 10 oil
Maine, and to the entire nation. At
no time in his long and varied career
has Mr.. Burleigh ever been a knock
er" in Maine politics. Always he has
been willing to wait his turn. Mean
time, he has been most alert and care
full for the welfare of Maine in the
lower House of Congress. In the
new apportionment of ten years ago,
Maine would have had her representa-
tive delegation in the lower House cut
down from four to three, had it not
been for the watchfulness Of Edwin
C. Burleigh, then representative to
Congress from the Third Maine Dis
trict.
He has never been outside the Re-
publican party, or thought of getting
outside of the Republican party for
moment. He was a true blue Repub-
lican when a boy in Aroostook; he is
a true blue Republican today while
editing and publishing a newspaper
in Augusta.
He is very much the kind of a man
that the Republican voters of Maine
desire to support. The Republican
voters of Maine know they can rely
upon Edwin c. Rurleigh

Gov. BurIeish's Candidacy.
portland Evening Expressly

Ex-Governor Burleigh who an
nounces himself as a candidate for
United States senator, justly enjoys
the confidence of the people Of Maine.
He has served them faithfully in va
rious stations. He is a man Of action
rather than of words, and as such has
been as ready to serve any interest,
small as we'll as large, that could
properly commend itself to the favor
of a conscientious public servant. In
Congress, while broad-minded enough
to keep in touch with the wider inter-
ests of the whole country, he has
served with intense devotion the spe-
cial interests Of Maine.
Personally Governor Burleigh has
the faculty of making and keeping
friends Coming up from among the
people, he never forgets that he Is
one of us. With him, once an ac
Quaintance is always an acquaintance.
Consequently, few, if any, of our pub
lie men have a longer list of personal
friends than he.
