Thursday Afternoon.

Thursday afternoon saw a much larger
attendance than usual in the hall and
the interest as keen as ever. The judg-
ing was practically over and the exhibit
ors were all hands comparing notes.
Most of them were satisfied, even to
those who received the third prize
The literary program was excellent as
usual. 1t was a bit past o'clock when
President McIntire announced that all
was ready in the little back hall and re-
quested all who were interested to come
in and hear the lectures. His mission
seemed to be like the Mohammedan who
from the minaret of the mosque calls
the faithful to prayer The response was
generous and in a few moments the little
room was crowded.
"The Growing and Care of Seed Pota-
toes" was the theme of Clarence A. Day
of Machias and his talk was along the
line of better and more careful selection
He told of the work that was being done
in Washington county and predicted
great things for Maine in the future.
This speech was followed with another
by Fl. S Osler of Orono Prof Osler
talked on 1.-The Value of Seed Improve
ment' and devoted much of his time TO
the work in Maine.

Wednesday Evening Session.

The session of dairymen and seed
growers, Wednesday evening, was a
hummer. Early in the evening the
people commenced to come in and a
large number of citizens from the two
cities were on hand to examine the
splendid exhibits. Great interest was
manifested and many outside farmers
came in and ordered seed. Henry B.
Estes of Auburn, was among the
number and he assures the Journal
that next year, he will be on desk as
potato exhibitor.
George S Smith of Monmouth. re-
eeived many congratulations on his
good fortune in winning the SIS sep
arator offered by the De Laval peo-
pie as prize for the best dairy but
ter The machine is a beauty and so
was the butter.
The speaking was in the little hall
at the rear of the stage and Presi-
dent McIntire had two fine lecturers
engaged for the occasion. A large
number of dairymen were on hand
and the first speaker was Prof. L. C.
Corbett of Orono. He is the gentle
man who has taken the place of Prof
P. a. Campbell and is finished seho-
lar and expert on all matters connect
ed with the dairy His subject was
Milking Machines, and he told his
auditors the story of their evolution.
He showed that within this invention
were great possibilities although adj
hitting that it was far from perfect
as yet. Such papers as Heard's Dairy
man endorse the machine and admit
that it has come to stay
Then came an address by Prof
George f. Simmons of Orono, and he
took for his subject Larger Corn
Yields.
This closed the literary exercises
and after II few questions had been
asked and answered the meeting
closed.
DR.. Pearls Report.
During the business session DR..
Raymond Pearl of the Experiment
station reported for the breeding COM
mittee as follows:
I'm accordance with the plans laid
before the Association at its last meet
ing the committee undertook an ac-
tive campaign to obtain an annual
legislative appropriation of $4,000 a
investigations in animal husbandry at
the Maine Agricultural Experiment
station. AS is known to all members
of this Association such an appropria-
ton was made by the last Legisla-
ture.
Immediately after the appropriation
was made by the Legislature, active
work on the project was begun at the
Experiment Station. Owing to the
fact that the undertaking of this new
work involved a considerable increase
of staff, the moving of the biological
laboratory into new and enlarged
quarters, etc, most of the time and
energy during the first months were
taken up in purely administrative
matters connected with getting the
investigation started on sound basis.

! SPORTING NOTES.

There. are at least three justices of
the supreme court of New York, who
have been, prominently identified with
our American sports. Justices Bar
tow S. Weeks and jeremiah Mahoney
have for many years been prominent
in track and field athletics and in A.
A. U. councils, while Justice Harry
Taylor is the Cornell and Louisville
National League ball player. Justices
Weeks and Mahoney are still active in
A. A. U. affairs.
PENIS annual relay carnival is
big card in itself, but if A. n. S. jack
son of oxford brings over a relay
team to compete, next spring, as ls
likely, all track athletic followers will
wish to be in Philadelphia on the APP
pointed day. We are all anxious to
take a peek at this man Jackson, who
showed his heels to our great quartet
John Paul Jones, Abel Kiviat, Nor
man Taber and Mel Sheppard-in the
1500-meter race in Stockholm.
Hannes Kolehmainen, the little Fin
nish champion who ran away with the
honors at the long distance running
game at Sweden, last year, is fav-
orite to win the American cross-coun-
try championship to be held in New
York, Saturday. Lawson Robertson,
who has been training the Finn, says
that nothing but a complete break
down will prevent the little foreigner
from running away with the great
American plum.
The Olympic cops. including Martin
Sheridan, Jack Eller, Mat McGrath'
John Flanagan, Pat Mcdonald, Simon
Gillies and Egon Erickson, were rec
ompensed by the New York Board of
Aldermen for time lost on the Olympic
trip. Wonder If the A. A. U. will now
declare them professionals!

t==DefenCe'S
Case Is Strong.

Boston, Dec 4.-Moving pictures will
be shown, Tuesday, in the federal court
as part of the defence of the United
Shoe Machinery Co, in the dissolution
suit brought by the government. The
pictures will show machines of the
company in operation in various stages
of shoe manufacturing. easons for the
purchases of the numerous companies
acquired by the United Shoe Machin-
cry Co., We're given by Sidney w.
Winslow, president of the company in
testimony, today.
Tho early purchases were made, he
said, chiefly to put an end to litiga-
ton arising cut of fnfringements of
patents, and six other companies We're
acquired for the purpose of turning
them into agencies of the United.
Other companies were bought, he
said, for the purpose OF extending the
scope of the business of the defend
ant, these purchases adding machinery
that the United had not manufactured
up to that time. These machines had to
do mostly with the finishing of the
shoe after it had been lasted and stitch
cd. Other purchases took companies
ILdt FURNISHED DilulIlSsS SupPiitS,
such as needles, eyelets, cement, tacks,
etc.
Still other companies were acquired,
he said, to secure patents and royal
ties on patents, which the United Co.
required to give it a free field in de-
veloping its own machines along i'm
proved lines. To wipe out some old OBJ
legations of the Goodyear Co, which
was of the three companies which
Joined to form the United, two con-
Germs were bought out. Further COM
panies had to be purchased to secure
the services of certain experts.
During its first three years, the COM
pany spent s27S.00o in buying up liti-
giants, Mr.. Winslow testified.
None of the machines acquired were
competing machines, he said, and no
attempt was made to drive COMPETE
tors out.
Elmer e. How, attorney for the
Goodyear Co, when it was merged in
the United, testified to conditions sur
rounding the merging of that company.

paw was gone. The back door showed
the way he had gone and how.

Paw had to hide out'--as we call it in
the mountains. We carried him sup
plies along the little-used trails, and
kept him in touch with things until
the revenuers left the hills. Then paw

were sort of marked men, kept right on

FIRST PIECE or nIDDENlTe
O'scoversd BY Professor Stephenson
Bat Credit and Name Goes to
Another Man.

At the time the first piece of hid
denate was discovered I was roomine
with the late Prof. A. d. Stephenson.
who was well known to almost all of
the m~ineralogists of that day and had
ssnt many specimens to Professor
Dana, Doctor Smith and others. Pro-
lessor Stephenson then spent much
OF his time In the country collecting
minerals and when on one Of these
trips found the first specimens of hid
denfte ever found. He showed II to
me when he came home and told me
It was something new. Soon after
that Professor Hidden called at our
place 10 Q Professor Stephenson.
who 1T that time showed 1t to him.
Professor Hidden asked Professor
Stephenson to go with him and show
him where II was found, which Pro
lessor Stephenson agreed to do, and
the next day took him to the place,
and on Professor Hidden's returning
north he borrowed from Professor
Stephenson this first specimen found
to take back north with him to have
II examined. and while he had 1t he
sent 1t to DR.. J. Laurance Smith Il
think then Of Louisville, Ky.) for ex-
animation. and not telling Doctor
Smith II was found by Professor Ste
phenson. Doctor Smith finding 1t q
new mineral, wrote Professor HID
den 1t being . new mineral and he
being the finder he would suggest he
call II hiddenite. Hence the name.
Some time after that Professor Hidden
went to the place where the speci-
msn was found. bought the land and
mined for the new gems.
After Professor Stephenson had
made several requests Of Professor
Hidden to return the first specimen
- him he finally got it, and 1t was
kept In his collection until he sold to
the state quite a large collection of
North Carolina minerals, and with
them this the first discovered gem.
'hiddenite." which is now in the
states collection In the city of Raleigh.
Being very intimate with Professor
Stephenson and being present when
he showed Professor Hidden this first
specimen found. and hearing the con-
~versation about 1t and knowing all
about Professor Stephenson loaning
Il to Professor Hidden to take north
for examination, l feel 1t is nothing
but justice to Professor Stephenson,
to the state and to the general pub
Ia that the full facts should be stated
- order that the history of this dis
covery Of hiddenite should be kept
straight.-R. X. Murdoch. in the Char
