Cottonseed Meal, Wheat Bran, Etc.

Compares Favorably With Timothy,
Cottonseed Meal, Wheat Bran, Etc.
An Illinois experiment station test
showed that with an acre yield of four
tons of alfalfa hay and one and one
half tons Of timothy, the timothy worth
$40 per ton. an acre Of alfalfa was
worth $6S.44 more than an acre Of
timothy in milk production under the
conditions of the experiment and with
milk at $1.30 per 100 pounds.
The New Jersey station concludes
that in feeding value three pounds Of
alfalfa are equivalent to one Of cotton
seed meal Where alfalfa was tested
against wheat bran and dried brewers
grain the saving in cost Of milk was
1877 cents per 100 and % cents per
pound of butter. The milk value Of an
acre of alfalfa was STA.
Loretta D., the great Jersey COW that
beat the worlds record at the st. Louis

other COWS that helped to make dairy

about Monday morning? If you wake

FOR THE CHILDREN
An Outdoor Game.

When you play outdoors with your
friends a good game is oranges and
lemons" To play this two of the tall
est children go aside. and one deter
mines to be oranges and the other
lemons" but their respective names
must not be known to the others.
Then they join hands, and. raising
their arms as high as possible, they
sing:
"Oranges and lemons" say the bells Of St.
Clements,
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
And here comes Ratchet to chop off
your head
While they sing the others pass I'M
der, holding each other around the
waist. At the word head" which
they manage to sing just as the last
child of the train passes, they drop
their arms and catch her around the
neck. She is then taken to one side
and asked whether she wants to be an
"orange" or lemon" If she chooses
an "orange" she is told to go behind
the one who calls herself by that name
and to take hold Of her by the waist,
or if she chooses to be "lemon" she
holds the other girl, always speaking
so that the others can't hear. Then
the pair reunite their hands, and the
game goes on from the singing Of the
verse and the marching until all have
been caught and all have taken their
places-behind the leaders. Then, as
in London BRIDGE" pulling contest
ensues, the stronger side pulling all
the others over and thus winning the
game.

Wonder no more why the moons shape is

That they, too, may know and believe that

Because of great dragons that dwell in

To the voters OF Hancock county:
/ am candidate for county commits
sioner, and hope to be elected. Under the
old way all county officers were elected
for two years. Then the county commits.
sioners asked for two terms or three terms,
making six years. The legislature
changed 1t about twenty years ago, aud
made 1t six years. They intended to gi-e
a county commissioner one term of six
years and no more. My republican OPP
ponent, Mr.. Allen, will have held this
Office six years this January.
Mr.. Hutchins, Mr.. Aiken, Mr.. Foss and
Mr.. Page each had six years. Mr.. Foss
was nominated four years ago by the re-
publicans for second term, but the
voters would not elect him. Mr.. Page
was a candidate two years ago in the re-
publican primaries, but the republicans
would not give him second term. Now
MIR. Allen comes before the speople and
asks for twelve years.
II l am elected will not ask for q sec
ond term. Six years is long enough for
anyone to be county commissioner.
Sincerely yours,

partially weighing and passing upon
evidence submitted to him.
William o. Emery, the candidate
for register of deeds, is not an expert
ment. He filled the Office most capa-
bly, for four years, and has kept in
close touch with the Office in the four
years since in his title work.
The four remaining candidates on
the republican ticket are the present
incumbents of the offices they seek,
and all have proven worthy of en-
dorsement.
Upon Melville L. Allen, as county
commissioner, has fallen a larger
share of work than most commits
sioners have had to bear, due to the
long illness of the late Capt. Joy, the
other republican member of the board,
and the absence during the last iegis-
lative session of the democratic mem
Der, Mr.. Sherman, who accepted the
office of State senator while still hold
ing the Office of county commissioner.
Mr.. Allen has proven an efficient
manager of the county's business
affairs.
Forrest o. Silsby has held the Office
of sheriff two terms, with one term of
democratic notification sheriff in
tervening. The people of Hancock
county had an unusual opportunity to
compare results. The endorsement
given Mr.. Silsby in the primaries tells
the story.
Boyd A. Blaisdell, the present
county treasurer, has proven care
full and accurate accountant, and has
by precedent and performance earned
the right to reelection, which it will
be pleasure to the republican voters
of Hancock county to give him.
Summed up, there are no we ak
links in the chain. The republican
voters OF Hancock county have a
ticket which they can support from
top to bottom, not for mere party
loyalty alone, but with satisfaction.
Vote next Monday, and so vote that
your vote will not only be counted,
but will count.

THE AMERICAN owes and offers an
apology to Capt. Willis L. Pratt, who
was unfortunate enough to lose his
buildings by fire last week. In re-
porting the fire we referred to Capt.
Pratt as "Mr." Pratt. This would
have been all right but for the fact
that his neighbor whose buildings
we're burned, and whose sea expert
ence has been much shorter than
Capt. Pratt's, was referred to as
"Capt." This didn't set just right
with Capt. Pratt, and he hove us to

protect the people of Maine from ex

Gov. Haines, when he vetoed the
mileage book bill, believed would go
into effect with other legislation en-
acted by the last legislature, and un-
der the operation of which mileage

Gratis, for political purposes, saw fit to
invoke the referendum on the law,

In the House of Representatives the
republicans have been conducting a
long fight against the secret caucuses
by which the democrats have bound
their members to united action on all
big legislation. thus placing individual
congressman, who might otherwise
display a little brain matter, under
the sting of the party whip. The re-
publicans have discussed all legislative
matters in open conferences, and the
public has been invited to be present.
The democrats have framed their bills
in secret committee sessions, smoth-
ering out all opposition in their party
in secret caucus, shutting of all de-
bate by the gag rule, and have passed
the bills through the lower branch of
Congress just as they have been sent
over from the White Unconstitutional
Express.

Election Next Monday.


Next Monday is election day. The
eyes of the whole country are upon
Maine, the first State to hold a gen.
eral election this year. The result in
Maine will exert large influence
upon elections throughout the
country.
1t is up to the republicans of Maine
to give expression to the country
wide dissatisfaction with an inefficient,
muddling, low-tariff administration
controlled absolutely by southern
democrats. We have no doubt of the
result in Maine, but we urge upon the
republican voters not to be satisfied
with victory alone, but to make their
rebuke of the democratic administra-
ton emphatic. Let the vote be large.
1t is the duty of every man to vote; it
should be pleasant duty for Maine
republicans this year.
1t goes without saying that Hancock
county will roll up handsome plu-
rality for Congressman John A.
Peters, of Ellsworth. He is deserving
of endorsement. As a member of
a minority party in steam rolled
democratic Congress, he has had little
opportunity to show his timber, but
here in Hancock county we know his
qualifications.
Governor Haines is deserving of the
loyal support of republicans. He has
given the State one of the most bust
ness like administrations it has ever
enjoyed. In spite of the efforts of the
democrats to belittle his administra-
ton on the enforcement question, the
voters of Hancock county know that
Haines' enforcement is better than
democratic non-enforcement. They
will not vote for an avowed high Ii
cense candidate for governor.
Hancock county republicans, again,
are fortunate in their choice of candi-
dates for county offices. Melvin D.
Chatto, of Brooksville, and Sherman
s. Scammon, of Franklin, the candi-
dates for State senators, are success
full business men, we'll qualified to
represent the county in the upper
branch of the legislature. The re-
publican candidates for the legislature
from the several classes also assure
the county an able representation in
a republican House.
For county Office, the republicans
have strong ticket. Fred L. Mason,
for county attorney, is lawyer of ex-
perience and of longer and larger
practice than most of the lawyers who
have held this office in the past few
years.
Timothy F. Mahoney, for clerk OF
courts, has made good in the exacting
office as register of deeds, and proven
that he has the peculiar qualifications
necessary for the Office of clerk OF
courts.
Bertrand e. Clark, candidate for
judge of probate, is also lawyer OF
long practice, and many years as
Judge of the Bar Harbor municipal
court have shown that he possesses to
a marked degree the capacity for inn

Frenohman's Bay Packing Co. The fac
tory, under his supervision, has been sue
cessful, and at the present time is running

about seventy people.
Mr.. Holt is especially well qualified by
experience and by temperament to repre-
sent one of the seashore counties in the
State Legislature. His business has
brought him in close contact with the
fishing interests OF Hancock county. and
he knows the needs OF the State in the
way Of fishing legislation, which plays SO
prominent part in every session OF the
Maine Legislature. The voters OF bis class
will make no mistake in sending him
there.
