had charge of the matter for the pro-
poneuts. He said that at this time there
were monthly payments on the Grand

derived by men working for other corpor-

the market by paying cash. The railt roads

workers, and especially the 800 to 400 men

the same vein and called attention to the
fact that the Boston g. Maine paid week

The Apple Hearing.

The Apple Hearing.
The majority of those appearing at the
hearing on the apple bill favored the
elimination of the 10 per cent clause, de-
handing that the standard of the grades
approach 100 per cent, but r. L. Cum
mings of Paris, representing the apple
growers of oxford. demanded that the 10
per cent. leeway be retained and vigor-
ously denounced the provision as one
man supervision of the inspection and al
lowing any packer to be taken to an
other county than his own for trial
However, a disposition was evident oil
both sides to make concessions to get the
bill through. and at the close of the hear
ing it seemed probable that AN amicable
arrangement would be reached. This
probably will provide for "fancy" apples
to be those over % inches, NO. L to be
q and "No. 2" to be q. The director of
the experiment station seems certain to
give way to the commissioner of agri-
culture, and the appropriation of $1,000 per
year called for is likely to be superseded
by the fee system. upon recommendation
of p .. Cummings of Portland. who
declared that the appropriation part could
never be got through this Legislature.
ii. l.. Keyser of Greene, president OF the
Maine Pathological Society, conducted the
case for the proponents of the present
bill Those who supported him in the es-
sential points were John III. Locke of
North JAY, f. A. Kicker of Turner. AL
bert Conant of Auburn, w. L. Conant of
BuckfeId. president of the famous Ok
ford Bears, and w p Atherton of Hal
lowell. These men generally spoke of the
100 per cent. provision and the sizes pro-
posed for the corresponding numbers
Mr.. Cummings of Paris was supported
by the Hon James S Wright against the
making of Director Woods supervisor
with the powers set forward
Mr.. Keyser believed that Director
Woods was mot anxious after the job
and called upon that gentleman for con
| firmatiop.
Director Woods stated that he would
be greatly relieved if the provisions of the
| act could I've amended TO leave him out,
and the sentiment tended toward agree
| ment upon the commissioner of agrcui-
| ture to assume the duties appointing his
| inspectors upon recommendation of town
officers. The latter two provisions were
| advocated in a substitute bill offered by
| Mr.. Cummings of Portland.
| Mr.. Atherton brought the only applause
| of the hearing by a vigorous plea for
greater honesty among the packers

HOME COMING
AT GREEN BAY
In Connection With Perry Victory
Centennial.

1t has been positively determined
that the Niagara, Commodore Perry's s
famous old battleship. which was
raised from the bed of Lake Erie a
short time ago, will be in Green Bay
from Aug. 10 to Aug. 13, and the COM
mittees of the Green Bay Commer-
cial club have taken a renewed inter7
est in the Perry Victory CentenniA
celebration to be held here then and
they are more confident than eYex
that the celebration will eclipse any
thing ever attempted in the northern
part of Wisconsin.
In connection with the historic and
patriotic celebration Green Bay win
hold Home Coming celebration anH
Welcome home it's former residents,
numbering many thousand. Green
Bay is the oldest city in the statF
and the sentiment prevails in the
surrounding country that the city is
in position to offer more attractiveI
interesting things to her sons and
daughters of years gone by than
any city in the state. The city has
! been adding to her outward beauties
in the last several years by the con
struction of several public buildings,
the finest court house in this section,
a new federal building, many handsom
Office structures, and mile after mile
of asphalt pavement. To augment
the natural beauty and beauty of
buildings and streets, the citizens
will dr essup homes and public pro-
perty as never before. Evidences of
activity in this connection have been
noticed for several weeks.
While the Perry water and street
pagentry will be the main features
OF "Home Coming" week in Green
Bay, the program committee of the
celebration has arranged to have nu-
merous special features that will
amuse and entertain the thousands
that are expected to come here.
Jimmy Ward, lhe noted aviator, will
fly in his aeroplane twice day
!! every day during ''Home Coming
week. Competitive band playing will
be on the program, there will be IA
water carnival, in which yachts from
many ports on the great lakes, will
participate, floral automobile par
ade, an industrial exhibit of ''things
made in Green Bay" displays of
rare, historical articles, grand py-
rotechnical displays each night and
out of door entertainment of every
description.
The patriotism of the present gen.
Grafton will be aroused more over
the Perry Centennial celebration. than
over any patriotic event that has
taken place in the counery's history
This celebration will be a new de-
parture in American patriotic cele-
brations. 1t will be an educational
commemoration instead of an educa-
tional exposition, patriotism rather
/ than commercialism will be the con-
trolling factor.
