Buy Machinery Early.

Nowhere on the farm do We find the
phase, "Come early and avoid the rush,
so applicable as in the purchasing OF
tools and machinery for use during the
busy season soon to come. 49,,
Ii will be but few weeks, now, Till
your dealer will be fairly dsluged with
trade, and every man will want his I'M
plements the very day he bargains for
them, which is only natural.
As a matter of fact, the stock OF these
articles may soon be depleted; even the
factories will run behind in turning
them out, and there'll be good chance
of not securing your needed machinery
at all till next year. Besides, as the sea
son advances, and these implements BE-
come scarce, many unscrupulous dealers
will put the price up, and make your
machinery cost you more.
Then, there are other points OF econo'
NV to be considered in connection with
the early buying Of machinery. The
early buyer gets his choice OF the vari
ous makes, and can thus choose the
bert. or at least that which Is best adapt
ed to his needs. Again, early purchas
ING will enable the farmer to take hi
time in inspecting the implements, since
he is not particularly busy. Further, Il
be will buy now, he won't be forced T.
leave some important work and hurry to
town after machinery, but can have it al
set up and in working order, ready to
business when the proper time comes q
use it. Just single days delay In get
ting in crop may mean loss grea
enough to more than cover the cost o
efficient machinery 1t would have takel

How To FLY the Flag.

A circular issued from the office OF the
state superintendent Of schools gives di'
rections for the guidance of all concern
ed. This ia of course designed especial
ly for the instruction Of those who care
for the flag on the school house, but 1t Is
safe to say that great many of those
who display a flag do not know all that
is given 10 these rules regarding the
proper treatment and use of the flag, and
it will pay to read it:
/. Under no circumstances, either in
raising or lowering a flag, should II DC
allowed to touch the ground.
IL. Care should always be taken that
the union is at the top of the flag. In
hanging a flag horizontally from build
ing the union should be ON the side
away from the building,
III. The national flag should be
above the state flag when both are dis
played from the same staff.
w. When a flag is displayed at half
staff 1t should first be raised to the top
of the staff and then lowered to the
proper position which Is halfway be,
tween the top and the middle OF the
staff-literally at three, quarters staff.
v. A flag displayed at half-staff as
mark of respect should be returned to
the top of the staff at the conclusion OF
the funeral services of the person thus
honored. :,
vi. For Memorial Day flags should
be at half-staff from sunrise until noon.
At noon they should be raised to the
top of the staff and remain there until
sunset.
VII. Flags should not be allowed to
remain flying at night.
VIII. The union of the national flag
now consists of 4S stars, In six rows
eight stars in each row.

Maine News Notes.

Bath is the first city in Maine to have

The car makes two trips day and the
route covered is about Is miles.
Bowdoinham's town reports give los

memoration fund, or 369 in all, and
So, $50 was contributed. This sum has
been distributed in four savings banks,
to accumulate interest for 100 years.
st. Albans is to have a new library
this summer and the building is to be an
attractive structure OF granite blocks, to
be inscribed with the names of residents
and former residents, with the dates oil
their births and, when necessary, their
deaths. An original idea has been adopt
ed-that of having the blocks paid for
by subscription. Each one will cost
about $40, and as much more as the sub
scriber cares to pay. In case more mon
ey is subscribed than the building costs
the remaining sum will be used for the
interior finish or spent on the acquisi'
tion of books. The St. Adams Memoris
library IS the name to be given the ne"
institution. The building will be 30 feel
long and "a feet wide and will be of one
story with basement. 1t is to be erect
ed In the center of the village, on lol
next the post office which has been pre-
sented by the NJ. e. Bigelow estate
The com mittee in charge of the building
are w. II. Watson, chairman; Mrs.
Louise Emery secretary, and A. P. Bige
low. The idea first originated with Mr.
Watson and the library will be the first
of it's kind in Maine, II not in New Eng
land. At the rate subscribers are com
ing in, there will be no lack of funds

Johns Letter.

The following may be an isolated case
as to the business method employed, but
there are others in the same line OF busi-
ness and who are after the boys just the
same. We copy 1t from the "Maine
Temperance Record" published by Geo.
E. Brackett, Belfast.
A Chicago school teacher discovered
cards In the possession of her scholars
which had been given them by saloon
keeper near the school. The cards were
punched for every drink taken by the
boys, one punch for beer, two punches
for straight drinks, and three punches
for mixed drinks. At the end OF each
month prizes are given. The boy having
the largest number Of punches In bis
card was given q revolver, the second the
life of Jesse James, the third pipe.
We revise our disbelief in a personal
devil by erasing the prefix. We're this
the one only personal devil in all this
broad land of ours, the situation mighs
not be so apparently hopeless, but the
entire brotherhood of saloon keepers are
actuated by the same motives II not by
the same methods. Tue soul getting Is
practically tho same. To fasten the
habit on the boys is their beings end
and aim. And it is certainly business
foresight, for without the boys their 6n-
siness (permit us to say their damnable
business) would soon come to an end, as
their old and tattered customers will DO
under the sod not many years hence
And-"The sooner the better for Roger
and me-"
We recall reading a speech Of a mem.
Der of the Liquor Dealers League when
they met at a convention In some west
ern city, wherein he suggested treating
the boys and 30 creating taste and a
habit that would replace the habit OF
those who were rapidly staggering out.
"Wha,," said be, "you spend in dimes
now will come back to you in dollars oy
and BY" His remarks were received
with approval. 1t would be we'll for the
average father to sit up and take notics.
Our family of boys is minus quantity,
and it is not to be expected that we can
entertain fathers feelings in all their
depth and fulness, but we cannot under
stand how any father worthy the name
can be indifferent TO such condition OF
affairs, and even give aid and comfort
and support by his vote for Its contin-
nance. Never once in our life have we
30 voted-for free hand or licensed
one. That, at least, will never be flung
in our face when the accounts are bal
anced in the day Of reckoning.
