The sardine canning season opeus
in Maine, next month, and the can
ners are wondering what is to be tho
fishing conditions of this season and
possibility Of securing the right kind
of help when the season is on. The
management of the Belfast plant is
planning on long season here, but it
depends in great measure on the
amount and quantity of fish which
they are able to secure, and last sea-
son the fish did not arrive here until
well along into the fall. Better wages
are being offered in Canadian circles
than in Maine and eastern help have
left the factories but in the case Of
the big plant at Belfast the most Of
the help is local and no trouble in that
direction is expected.

That Josiah Henson was a "tolera-
BILE likely fellow is evidenced by the
fact that he bought his own freedom.
When it did not interfere with his
regular duties as an oVerseer on the
plantation his master INDUCED him in
his religious tendencies, and through
minfstering To the spiritual needs of
the negroes of his own state and even
beyond the borders of Maryland, he
was able TO accumulate the means
necessary To buy himself out of slaV-

executed in 1929 it was not until two
years later that he left the old plan
tation and crossed the border into
Canada with his family. He first To-
Gated at Fort Erie, but later moved To
Dresden, Ont, where he died in May,
1888
Naturally Mr.. Henson was strong
abolitonist, and he employed his
freedom in advocating the cause of
his enslaved race from the lecture
platform at home and abroad. While
thus engaged he met Mrs. Harriet
Beecher stowe in Boston, and the sto-
ry of Uncle Toms Cabin" was the
result.
In appreciation of his work in be-
half of the abolition of slavery. Mrs
stowe later wrote n biography OF
Henson, in which she gave him unre-
served credit for having made it pos
sible for her to give to the world the
work on conditions in the South that
was a tremendous factor in paving
the way for emancipation.
In his three lecturing tours abroad
Mr.. Henson was shown distinguished
hGnors, and on the occasion oil ms
last visit to England he was present
cd by Queen Victoria in person with
a small portrait of herself IN gold
frame. There is also in the possession
of his two daughters gold watch
which was presented to him by
friends in England as a testimonial OF
their sympathy with him in his ef-

he was not given free transportation

that he would not inspect the hogs at
the show until ne was presented with
a pass.
This occaSioned much uneaSiEess on
the part of the exhibitors in the swine

that hogs cannot be moved from one
town 70 another without a permit H.

gested that Mr.. Graybill has an ex-
penSe account and could charge the
price OF ticket TO this account
At a late hour in the morning the
state official arrived on the grounds.
According 10 Superintendent Lott he
agreed TO allow ali swine going TO
the Hutchinson fair to leave the
grounds without cost to the owners,
hut he insisted upon making others
who had sold their animals pay fee
for a certificate.
