the millions of critics passing upon its
work, The Associated Press is auto
matically truthful and fair. If man
com plains that The Associated Press
is run in the interest of this party. or
that. it is perfectly clear that what he
wants is not fair play, but leaning
his way. AS one evidence of the
truthfulness of The Associated Press
reports il is significant that, during
the existence of the present organiza-
ton. damages have never been paid in
any action for libel.

How Doe. Il Strike You2

In New York city they are hunting
for those reported consignmen.s of
Argentine beef. That the cost of house-
hold meat supply is almost double that
recorded ten years ago. is asserted by
organizations Of housewives that have
completed careful investigation of
current market prices. Thousands of
the yemen members of these market
leagues and thousands more of their
sister shoppers are now frantieally
searching the markets in the hope of
finding the new consignments of Ar
gentne beef both as good AZ and
cheaper than the meat for roasts for
which they must pay almost 50 cents a
pound. Though these good ladies have
been disappointed in all their attempts
TO cut down living cost. they are still
striving to beat the food trusts by or
gained boycott of the most outrage
ously high priced staples.
The prospects are not encouraging
for extensive reduction in cost Of liv-
ing to consumers. but the prospect Of
injury to home markets is striking.

1t is encouraging to note, among other
symptoms, that our educa tional in

Associated Press Accuracy.

1t would be well if The Associated
Press, its purposes and practices were
better understood alike by reader and
public. The Institution bears very
important relation to American life
and is well worth studying. It's
kilograms are printed primarily in $50
newspapers and are copied or .rewrit-
ten in unnumbered thousands of other
daily. KeekIysor monthly publications.
It ie safe to say that they read by
0persthree-f ourths Of the people of the
country. and the intelligence they
convey practically everyone gathers
his information respecting current
events. ~
q All will agree that it is important,
TO use no stronger word, that the mar
ket reports be trustworthy. What
assurance is there, not only that the
reports The Associated Press are hon.
est, but that out of the necessities of
the case, they must be more certain
of accuracy than any other market re-
ports? One good reason arises out of
the magnitude Of the Associations
work. There are persons who think
it would be better 10 have u half
dozen small agencies acting in sharp
competition. but this Is mistake.
Such rivalry would doubtless tend to
the greatest celebrity in gathering the
news. But such rivalry would not
from any point of view, tend to great
er accuracy. And it is far less inn
portant that the citizen gets prompt
news than that he gets true news.
However desirable it may be to be
first in the field in the presentation of
news. and this feature of the work is
not to be undervalued, still its reputa-
ton for truth and, strict impartiality
is the best asset of The Associated
Press. And no smaller agency can
possibly give as great a guarantee for
accuracy or impartiality.
4 HFirst there are the traditions of half
a. century which must be lived up to.
This spirit which animates every one
in the service is good deal, but it is
not all More important is the fact
that every telegram of The Associated
Press is subjected TO such degree of
censorship as to make untruthful or
biased reports practically impossible.
Every one familiar with the work
knows 1t is impossible for any one in
the service, from the General Manager
to the least important agent at the
most remote point. to send out an I'M
truthful dispatch ana escape detec-
ton. One may write biased or in
accurate statement for a single news
paper and succeed with it. but this
cannot be done with the argus-eyet
millions who read the dispatches o
The Associated Press. obviousll
then, the very magnitude of The As
sOciated Press work tends to maxi
lArpthfulpess and impartiality in tn
service imperative. II cannot be use'

PHILADELPHIA'S PTGGERIES.
Philadelphia is very much agitated
over the presence of pggerics in its
downtown sections. 1t is said there
are $1,000 pigs being kept in the city
and so far all efforts to dislodge them
seem to have been fruitless. The pres
ent agitation followed the discovery
that the piggeries were in the way of
the navy yard enlargement and more
determined campaign against the NUS

to every patriotic Philadelphia being
"Piggeries or Navy Yard, Which -
1t might seem that more convincing
arguments might be advanced against
keeping the pig in the parlor. Pigpens
scattered around residential sections
and business sections are not calculat-
ed to improve health. New York pro-
hibits even chickens within its borders.

That the State of Maine is growing
all the time and in increasing the VAL
ue-not only of it's city property but
of the farm lands, is the opinion ex-l
pressed by b. G. McIntire of Water
ford Mr.. McIntire is chairman of the
State board of assessors. Every
where we have BEEN" said Mr.. Nc
Intire. there has been found a good,
healthy growth. 1t is certain that the
valuation of the State as a whole will
be found to have increased consider
ably by the time we have finished our
work, which will be next week. Par
ticularly has there been a gain in the
valuation of buildings. Not only has
city property increased in value, but
there have been many new buildings
erected that have added greatly to the
worth of cities and country sections"
Farm lands, too, Mr. McIntire said,
had increased. He declared that the
real abandoned farm is hardly known
in Maine There are farms that are
! not being worked, but these are owned
/, by other farmers living in the neigh
horhood and are being kept in condi-
ton. The only part of them that has
| decreased in value is the buildings;
the land itself is worth more than 1t
! ever has been. The State assessors.
! Mr. McIntire, T.. NJ, Johnston of
| Brownville, and j. J. Johnston of
| Newburg, were busy all day, Thurs
day, meeting, the selectmen and others
from the towns up country. Next
, week the assessors will be in Andros-
coggin County. AS soon as the valua-
| ton there has been decided, the whole
+, work will have been completed and
! the assessors will return to Augusta
1 to make their report.

Wiscasset correspondence informs us
that days and weeks past the air has
been filled with rumors of what was
going to take place in Lincoln county's
official circles. These have all conferred
upon the official heads of Sheriff
James Fl. Doyle, and Lore HI. Ford,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners. The testimony is as fol-
lows:
I'm, these open air stories the chair
man of the county commissioners mas
made a genuine football out of the
sheriff while in other sections the talk
the sheriff has treated Mr.. Ford in the
same manner in which Connie Macks
men have pasted the New York Giants
1t ALL according to these street corner
forums grew out of the eternal rum
question. 1t was said that the county
commissioners were not satisfied with
the manner in which the sheriff handled
the liquor problem, especially with his
care of liquors which had been seized.
The story was to the effect that liquor
which had been seized by the sheriff
and his deputies had mysteriously dis
appeared and that the county commits
sioners we're much angered; that they
were so disguised that the chairman of
went to Augusta for a conference with
Gov Haines and that he asked the
States chief executive to request the
resignation of Sheriff Doyle Both the
sheriff and the chairman of the county
commissioners are Democrats. also they
! field, in the county. That there is feel
ing between them does not develop in
the stories which are being circulated,
, and both men declare there is none"

Last Witch BURNING.

There are countries in which the
execution Of women as witches is only
a thing of yesterday. The last in
stance of witch burning occurred as
recently as 1858 in Peru, and in other
parts Of South America cases contin-
ued TO occur until well into the second
half of the nineteenth century. Eng
lands own last conviction for witch
craft took place at Hartford in 1712,
and Scotland condemned a witch ten
years later, while Spain and Germany
retained a judicial belief in witches
and the justice of killing them until
1882 and 1896.

REMEMBER ON BAKING DAY
Little Things That Appear Small of
Themselves, but Go Far to Max
ing Success or Failure.

While cooling, newly baked bread
should be lightly covered with a clean
cloth or paper to prevent mold germs
and dust falling upon it, but it should
never be tightly wrapped in thick
cloth, for, unless it is aired when TAX
en- from the oven, it is likely to be-
come soggy and damp, and this offers
an excellent medium for the growth
of moIds. Place the bread, when cold,
in a tin box Or stone jar, which should
be scalded out every week, aired,
and thoroughly dried. Never put por-
tons Of a former baking with the
new loaves.
Always save bread crusts, dry
them we'll, put them through the meat
chopper, and sift first through wire
basket and then through a sieve.
This will give three grades. Place
them in covered jars, use the coarsest
moistened with milk for stufhng fish
or poultry, the medium for buildings,
etc, and the finest for rolling GRO
quette mixtures. Do no try to use
dry biscuits or butter toast in this
way
