Democrats on the Defensive.

.-I
A gain of 70 congressman by the
Republican party will put it in control
Of the house of representatives and
enable it to checkmate the enactment
of laws which 1t may not approve.
The prospect Of a Republican house
Is unquestionably the reason why the
administration is flashing congress on
the antitrust measures at this time,
II the laws are not passed at this ses-
sion, 1t is likely that they will not be
passed at all, in the form desired by
the administration.
Republican members Of the house
Of representatives are eager to begin
the fall campaign. They believe thai
the record Of the administration fur
nishes an abundance of material for
reversing the Democratic majority in
the house. They point to the business
depression as affected by the tariff,
coupled with the steady increase in
the cost of living; the failure to settle
the Mexican question; the repeal OF
tolls exemption; the proposal to pay
s25. 900. 900 and apologize to Colombia
for alleged wrongdoing; the disturb
ance to business on account of threat
ened drastic and unnecessary legisla
ton; the breakdown of the govern
ment's foreign policy, and. numerous
other matters which have aroused
public criticism. +

PUT in COMPLETE
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
No Better or Safer Investment
for Average Farmer Than
Plan of Tile Drains.
Rx w M

There has been much discussion in
the agricultural press concerning the
best investments for farmers. In my
opinion there is no better or safer in
ve5tment for the average farmer, than
tile drainage on such parts of the
farm as fail to produce maximum
crops during wet ason
There are many acres of naturally
fertile soil that are not paying the
owner the cost of working, that could
be made the most productive portion
of the farm, If a good system of under
draining were put in.
In many cases the first crop will pay
the entire cost of drainage. OF course
many farmers are so situated that
they cannot afford to put in the com
plete drainage system at n time.
My advice to such men is to have
their plans made at one time, and do
a little every year.

Dividends in Hay cron.

Extraordinary care of the hay crop
pays unusually big dividends. A large
e cent of all hay harvested is entire
ly too ripe before cutting-or allowed
to ~depreciate by over curing. The
proper conservation of the appetizing
qualities is just as essential as in the
preparation of your own food stuff.
A burnt crust-and juices all cooked
out of it-destroys the paiatAbility OF

Care of Small Fruits.

Fruit of small size on berry bushes
is not always c~hargeable to poor va
~rieties, but is usually due to poor cul-
ture and no pruning. Currants are
largely borne on wood three or four
years old. Wood that is older than
this should be pruned out and enough
young canes allowed to take their
place. This may be done at any time
plants we'll cultivated and fertilize
with barnyard manure.

FRIENDS OF FARMERS

In all our vast farming territory
scarcely a boy or girl could be found
who is not familiar with the common
barn swallow. So small is this bird
and SO familiar that many of US are
likely to consider it as We do other
OF our b~enefactors, in a matter of fact
way, without giving it the apprecia-
ton which its services warrant. Per
haps, if W. all knew that the swallow
is one of the greatest destroyers of
the insects which do SO much harm
we would be freer with our apprecia-
ton and more energetic in our pro-
lection.

THE OLD LAND
M A r K MOOSE
HORNS REPLACED
Large Gathering and Interesting
Ceremonies at Site on the
Abbot-MOns0n Road

With ceremonies BETTING the occasion,
the moosehorns which have been a land
mark on the Abbot-Monson road, just
south of the Monson town line for a GEN.
fury, were replaced Tuesday.
In the year 1877 Joseph Burce, a pio-
neer, found and set up a moosehorn at
this point on the old trail, one a spotted
trail leading to what is now Blanchard.
the other to Monson. The moosehorn
remained there until 1922 or 1923 when 1t
was replaced by a set of moosehorns by
William Weeks. Mr.. Weeks and the late
Horace Sherman killed the moose and
used the horns for this purpose.
These horns remained there for more
than Is years until the storm and winds
had nearly destroyed them.
During the past summer Charles D.
Shaw of Greenville and Albert H Shaw
of Bath took it upon themselves to have
some new horns erected that the old
landmark might be retained The
Piscataquis Historical Society was con-
suited and committees were chosen to
make plans for celebration to make a
memorable occasion of the event.
Tuesday was beautiful day and ap-
proximately 800 persons were present to
witness the ceremonies.
At 10 o'clock the exercises commenced
with Charles D. Shaw presiding. Mr.
Shaw presented the horns to the His
torical Society in pleasing words and re-
.ceived a round of applause at the close
of his remarks.
Hon. John Frances Sprague gave
an interesting history of the famous
landmark and moosehorns and in
behalf of the society accepted the
new set which was the gift of the
Messrs. Shaw and also a beautiful
slate tablet with the inscription: Erect
ed 1877, replaced by the Piscataquis His
torical Society, 1914" The tablet was a
gift of George II. Wilkins. superintend-
emit of the Portland-Monson slate quarry.
On top of the guide post a small pole
had been placed from which fioated a
beautiful American flag which later 1t
was learned was gift of Harry A.
Saunders OF Greenville and in behalf of
Mr.. Saunders. Mr.. Sprague presented
this flag to the Moosehorners on condi-
ton that the flag be raised every Mem
orial day, Fourth of July and on the an
niversary of this celebration.

FORMER AUGUSTA
TEACHER is NOW In
TROUBLED EUROPE
Miss Melvina v. Parker Has
Difficulty in Leaving, Paris
For London

The many Augusta friends of Miss
Melvina v. Parker, first assistant in
the Belfast High school and former
tercher in the schools of Augusta, will
be interested in the following para
graphs relative to her furnished by
the Belfast correspondent of the
Bangor Daily News under date of Aug.
20;
Two letters have been received
from Miss Melvina V. Parker, first
assistant in the Belfast High school,
who is now abroad. One letter was
written from Paris, Aug. 8, and the
other from London, Aug. 10. Miss
Parker went to Paris with, the Misses
Isabel and Frances Robbins of Law
renee, Mass, cousins of Miss Carrie
Gilmore of this city, and the next
day tfter their arrival, or on Aug. 2,
they were told that they better leave
as soon as possible. The Misses Rob-
bins did SO, but Miss Parker was I'M
able to go as she hadn't the right kind
of monay, and had to remain in Paris
until the 7th. She wrote tht one day
she waited an hour and a half for an
introduction of the project of police,
and the next day waited in line seven
hours and a half for a signature so
she could leave Paris. The Misses
Robbins had some exciting experience
es, too, and the steamer they went to
London on was SO crowded that many
feared it would sink. From the time
they arrived in London, all that night
and until the net day. they We're I'M
able to obtain anything to eat and had
only glass of water
Miss Parker also wrote in her let
ter from Paris of the struggle all
tourists had to obtain money, and
cited the case of man from South
America, who was there with his wife
and four children. All the money he
could obtain was $50 a week, and he
had paid one day the sum of $40 for
dinner.
Miss Parker had not received any
letters from her family since she left
home, and this fact had disturbed her
greatly. Her London letter was more
encouraging, and stated that she was
with her friends, and was quite COM
Portable, but would he glad when she
could start for the United States. She
lad bookings for Sept l on the Lo-
CANA, the steamer on which she went
over, but intended to leave sooner If
there was any possible opportunity.
In London she met President Wood
row Wilson's sister and child. From
Paris, Miss Parker had Intended to
go on to Belgium to meet friends, but
was, unable to go any farther and was
fortunatee enough to meet them in
London upon her arrival there"

Price Still Advancing and May Reach
Civil War Time Figures.

With the prices Of wheat and flour
steadily rising day by day as they are
at present people are wondering where
the advance is going to stop and some
have expressed the belief that we

War and those Immediately following.
The price of flour received another
boost Wednesday, and Thursday
morning some dealers were asking
$3.50 per barrel for all round flour and
$3.50 for bread flour. One dealer said
In speaking of the advance that he
would not be surprised to see the
price of -four go to So or $40 per bar

days of the Civil War, the Journal has

The occupation of a stenographer
has aroused a good deal of discussion
and can be looked at from many view
points That was the idea of David
Graham Phillips when he wrote "a
Grain of Dust" 1t was his aim to
show just what influence she exerts
and what influences are brought to
bear on her. All this was most en-
tertainingly pictured and consequently
the novel had an immense sale and
proved to be the most popular of all
his books. When it was made into a
play and presented by no less a star
than James K Hackett it met with in
Simultaneous success and was one of
the best offerings ever made by that
famous actor. Miss Grayce and Mr.
Chatterdon who fill joint starring en-
gagement at the Augusta Opera House
all of next week were fortunate in se-
curing such an attractive bill for their
opening night. Not alone is itsan ex-
cellent play but it retains all the sem
sational and vivid portions of the
novel. 1t also has proved the best
drawing card that Miss Grayee has
ever had during the six years she has
appeared as a star. 1.-The Butterfly on
the Wheel" is announced for Monday
afternoon. That merry comedy, "The
Girl in the Taxi" is underlined for
Tuesday evening. It is laugh from
beginning to end as it is without a dull
