MAINE EXCELLENT CATTLE STATE,
Professor Campbell of University of Maine
Says it Equals Western States.

That the State of Maine offers oppor-
tunities for cattle raising which equal,
if they do not surpass, those of the
western states is the opinion of Profess
sor Percy A. Campbell of the University
of Maine. In an article in 1.-THE North
east" he says that the reason this indus
try has not developed faster is that the
people of Maine are slow to realize their
opportunity.
A few years ago the west was able to
produce beef much more cheaply than it
could be raised in the east. At the
present time, however, large amount
of pasture and grazing land in the west
has been given over to more intensive
cultivation. AS a result the western
farmer can no longer allow his cattle to
roam the fields uncared for, but is
obliged in raising his beef stock to exer-
else the same care and attention that. is
necessary in theeast.
Statistics show that the percentage of
farm lands in Maine is 1923 and that the
average value of this land is $13.73. The
total number of cattle in the State is
256, 532. Thus an average of 9. 163 acres
would be available for each head. In
addition to this farm land, there are
large uncultivated tracts which could
easily be converted into excellent pastur-
age.
According to Professor Campbell, the
successful stock raiser of the future
will be the one who can raise enough
green feed to last through the winter.
For this purpose the conditions in Name
are excellent, as good crops of corn,
clover, hay, barley, oats and green
vegetables can easily be secured. - -.

TRUE LOYALTY.

Jenkins, newly welded suburbanite,
kissed his wife good-by the other morn
ing, and telling her he would be home at
six O'Clock that evening, got into his
auto and started for town.
At six O'Clock no hubby had appeared,
and the little wife began to get nervous.
When the hour of midnight arrived she
could bear the suspense no longer. so she
aroused her father and sent him off to
the telegraph office with six kilograms
to as many brother Elks living in town,
asking each if her husband was stopping
with him overnight.
Morning came, and the frantic wife
had received no intelligence of the mis-
sing man. AS dawn appeared, farm
wagon containing farmer and the dere-
lict husband drove up to the house, while
behind the wagon trailed the broken
down auto. Almost simultaneously came
messenger boy with an answer to one
OF the kilograms, followed at intervals
by five others. All of them read:

ADVANCE NEWS.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, tells the
following story about his father, the late
Joseph Jefferson, so well-beloved by all
theatre-goers.
For long time before his death, Mr..
Jefferson was very sensitive upon the
subject of his retirement from the stage.
When he was playing in one of the South
ern cities a paper came out with the
news that he had decided to leave the
footlights at the expiration of his en-
gagement in that city.
Mr.. Jefferson resented the printing OF
such a story, and the reporter who had
brought it in was called upon to tell how
he got it.

told me to see Joseph Jefferson and ask
him if it were true that he was soon to
retire.
"Well," he was asked, "did you see
him?''

and sent my card up to his room, and it

YE PARLIAMENT OF ENGLAND.


Ye Parliament of England.
You Lords and Commons, too.
Consider well what you're ABOUT.
And what you mean to DO:
You're now at war with Yankees;
I'm sure you'll rue the day
You reused the Sons Of Liberty
In North America.
You first confined our commerce
And said our ships shan't trade,
You next impressed our seamen,
And of them slaves you made.
You then insulted Rogers
While cruising on the main,
And had we not declared war
You'd do it Ger again.
You thought our frigates were but few
And Yankees could not fight,
Until brave Hull, the Gu -riere took
And banished from your sight
The Wasp then took the Frolic-
You nothing said to that.
The Poictiers being on the line
Of course she took her back.
The next your Macedonian,
No finer ship could swim,
Decatur took her gilt work off,
And then he sent her in.
The Java by Yankee ship
Was sunk, you all must know,
The Peacock, fine in all her plume
By Lawrence down did go.
Then next you sent your Boxer
To box US all about,
But we'd an Enterprisng brig
That beat your Boxer out.
We boxed her up to Portland
And moored her off the town,
To show the Sons of Liberty
The Boxer of renown.
And then upon Lake Erie
Brave Perry had some fun.
You own he beat your naval force
And caused them for to run.
Whilst Chauncy on Ontario,
The lake not known before,
Your British squadron beat complete,
Some took, some run ashore.
Then your brave Indian Allies,
You styled them by that name
Until you turned their tomahawks
And Savages became.
For your mean insinuations,
They despised you from their souls,
And joined the Sons of Liberty,
That scorned to be controlled
Our Rogers in the President
Will burn, sink, and destroy
The Congress on the Brazil coast
Your commerce will annoy.
The Essex in the south seas,
Will put out all your lights.
The flag that waves at her mast head
Is free trade and sailors rights.
Lament you sons of Britain,
Far distant is the day
When you'll regain by British force,
What you lost in America,
Go tell your King and Parliament,
By all the world It's known,
That British force by sea and land
By Yankees is o'erthrown.
Use every endeavor.
And strive TO make peace,
For Yankee ships are building fast,
Our navy to increase,
They will enforce our commerce,
These laws by Heaven were made,
That Yankee ships in time of peace,
In any port should trade.
Grant US free trade and commerce,
Do not impress our men;
Give up all claims to Canada,
Then we'll have peace again.
Then England, We'll respect you,
And treat you as friend.
Respect our flag and citizens,
Then all these wars will end.

In memory dear we hold her,
Our mother gone before
In our arms of love erfold her.
Though we see her face no mole.
We miss our gentle mother,
We miss her smiling face.
On earth there is no other,
There's none can fill her place.
Home is lonely now without her,
There is a vacant chair,
But our Father, He has called her,
To those blest mansions fair.
Now we are waiting only
For the sum mons that will come,
To bear us to that City,
To our eternal home.
Will meet her at the portals,
Where death can never come.
And greet her robed immortal.
