THE MIDWAY.

OF course there was a Midway, the
ono n!g feature of any fair,-The "old
japanese game, YOU hit-the-b baby
dolls-and- cigar The "Old Army
game, where you can't loose" mixed
in occasionally with the coarse cry
frem the lungs of some hawker of "a
long. cool drink for a nieklei" hot
frankforts and other things too numer-
ous To mention. The merry go-round
that always is another feature of a
fair was on hand and although not in
operation, wilt be ready, Thursday.
The principle line of amusement dur
ing the day was the renewing of old
acquaintance and a glad handshake
for the new ones made.
After tramping about the grounds
throughout the forenoon. the question
of lunch was in line. Those who brought
their own, sat down in the good old
fashioned picnic style and enjoyed
themselves to the utmost. while 9TH
ers found it convenient to go TO the
dining hall. where Landlord Cove had
smoking hot dinner awaiting them,

Congressman John A. Peters, the
most talked of representative in Wash
spcechmakine tours in states where
Republicans are fighting to regain LOST
ground. His speech in fremont Tenn
pie, Boston, Saturday night. aroused
much enthusiasm for Cong. A. p. Gard
ner, now the Republican candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts. 1t is very
likely that Mr. Peters will be invited to
stump part of that state in the COM
inG campaign.
The roar Of Republican cheers in the
House Of Representatives at Washing
ton had hardly died away when John
& EYersman of Illinois. secretary of
the Republican Congressional commit
tee informed Congressman Peters that
the next battle" was in the First Dis
trict of West Virginia and that the
party leaders desired his services
there. 1t is very likely that West Vir-
einia voters will have an opportunity
to hear the man of whom Maine Re-
publieans are so proud.
Mr.. Peters reception on the floor OF
the National House recalled a remark

Zee, in the following congratulatory
letter u the party workers. is, on thai
account, particularly interesting.
Dear Sir:
The magnificent victory that we
have just won in the Third District
conclusively demonstrates that the
Republican party is virile, contin-
uing, and that ii has the conf
dence of the people.
While the inspiration of the cam
paign is with us we should inter-
pref and apply its lessons 80 that
We may face the election of 1914
with . clear conception Of its is
sues and a fun realization of our
duty as members Of the Republican
party organization.
Under our form of government
there will always be two great par
ties. One of these, the Republican
party-our party-stands for liberal
and constructive policies. 1t en-
dorses the policy of projections 1t
believes in controlling great com
blnationS Of capital. 1t promises
legislation guaranteeing equal ip-
portunity to all men and giving
effect to the great principles of So
cial and industrial justice 1t asks
for, and is entitled to, the support
of all men, who, believing in its
principles, desire advanced and
liberal legislation.
l wish We could make every voter
in Maine realize that under the di-
rect primary and the initiative and
referendum, their right and ability
TO rule is absolutely guaranteed to
them. ] wish we could make them
feel that in rett IN for the great
privilege of citizenship in this, the
best of all the states. they owe
Maine an active participation in
public affairs, that it is their duty
to ally themselves with the Repub-
lican party and there labor for the
adoption of the best principles and
the selection of the best candi-
dates, so that our party may con-
tinue to be truly responsive to the
best thought and best effort of its
membership.
1t is particularly the duty of the
party organization to make the Vo-
tiers understand that a party can
not be greater than its personel,
and that it's mission is to be fully
responsive to the influence of its
members and that it's usefulness
depends upon their efforts and par
ticipation.
II was great fight and the
whole country owes a depth of
gratitude to you and the other
members of the party committee,
who by their earnest work made
the victory possible.
Please remember that your advice
and suggestions will be welcome at
all times, and accept my assur-
ances that | am at your command
for any party service that is re-
quired of me.
Very truly yours,

COTTON TURNS 4
 BIG LOSS ID PROFIT
The Calexico Chronicle says:

The CaleXico Chronicle says:
 Last spring the Bataques Ranch company planted 800 acres of land to cantaloupes. This crop was up and coming along nicely until it was struck by some strange blight along toward the last part of May which completely ruined their crop. It then seemed for a while that it was then too late to plant this ground to any thing which would pay them a profit for 1913, but the men decided to try placing it in cotton. Planters were put to work and 150 acres were plant ed to Durango and 150 acres to Me bane cotton. Planting was continued until June 10, which was two months later than is considered the proper time for planting this crop, but they were leading a forlorn hope and do- ing all that could be done to make a profit for the year.
 They have been agreeably surprised at the result for this 300 acres has produced better than three-quarters of a bale to the acre and made them good profit for their years work, in spite of their earlier losses on the can taloupe planting.

\ GIRL OF THE UNDER
 WORLD MAKES HI.
(From Tuesdays Examiner

"A Girl of the Underworld a four act comedy drama, acted at the Yuma Theatre last night was a play with a moral and a lesson which should be driven home to every wayward girl in the land. The author has skillfully avoided the objectionable feature that the name of the play might suggest.
 A beautiful country girl is lured in to love for a man of the Underworld to whom she remains an object slave until her eyes are opened and she loses her love for him and returns to the old home before it was too late.
 Her return to the right path wasn't easy but she finally won the master cry over her environment and herself In the concluding act there appears a feature, not quite in harmony with the other powerful and convincing parts, when the heroine is about to re turn to the straight and narrow way accepts $2,000 of the ill gotten gains of her nameless companion of the un derworld and gives it to her dear old father to compensate him for his strug gEes to sustain the country girl in what he supposed was New York so ciety. Otherwise the play appeals to all as just right.
