the State.
l recommend that fair offfcials allow
no game nor any show upon their
grounds until they have secured from
the owner or manager a written guar
anty that such game or show is not IN
violation of the laws OF the State, with
good sureties or financial security SUI
ficient to protect their society. OF
course such guaranty need not be de-
manded of parties who are known to
be all right.
It is desirable that fair officials
should not only police their grounds
properly but that they should havs
violators OF the laws brought into
court and officials should be prepared
to furnish evidence against such vio-
lators.
The State pays out of it's treasury
annually nearly $4,000 to promote the
advancement OF the agricultural inter-
ests of the State through public ex-
hibitions. 1t is proper to say that this
Department, as 1t is in duty bound to
do, is watching the trend Of develop
ment among fairs with anxious desire
that their managers will always have
in view the great object for which
those organizations were created.
Recognizing the fact that fair Of

fall upon nearly 100000 strangers in the
city-40,00 veterans of the War of the
Rebellion and 10000 relatives, friends
and members of organizations kindred to
the Grand Army of the Republic.
Local veterans say that the encamp-
ment will be the largest national gath

Detroit in the first place is centrally To-
Gated. IT is argued; secondly, many of the
veterans who were here 90 years ago in

years, so impressed with the reception
and the city were they upon their pre-
vious visit
Added to her natural beauty and fame

The protest of Fortunat o. Michaud

for representative to the Legislature
from that class caused Sec. of State

been decided that Thibodeau's name,
his papers having been the first filed

titled to go on the ballot.

Mr. Michaud alleges that three of the
names on the Thibodeau petition are
invalid and the number of names prop

is outlined, with the requirements OF

Librarians District Meetings.

Progress is being made on the plans
for the district meetings which will
this year take the place of the Sum-
mer school for Librarians. Mrs. Belle
Holcomb- johnson of Hartford, CT, Wis
iting instructor Of the Public Library
Committee of Connecticut, is working
in conjunction with State Librarian
Prince to make this meeting more VAL
liable than anything yet held. She has
been In Maine before, having had
charge Of the Maine summer school
and Is a very successful worker. A
suggestive list of topics for the Dis
trict meetings was recently published
in the Journal. Librarian Prince has
already been notified of the pleasure
of Bangor and Biddeford to entertain
District meetings this year and he
hopes that meetings may be held in
Lewiston and Waterville and perhaps
other places. Each will be of two days
duration and the program promises
interesting sessions.

Maine Potato Inspection service be-
ing carried on by the Federal govern
ment In conjunction with the Maine
department OF Agriculture, on Tuesday
Aug. II, Issued the Following notice to
potato growers and dealers:
The Cleaning and Distinction of Po-
tato Storage PLACES.
Caribou, Maine, August II, 1914.
The attention Of all interested in the
potato industry, both growers and
shippers, is directed to regulation ~
of the Rules and Regulations for the
Interstate Movement OF Potatoes from
Guaranteed Areas.
According 70 this regulation all
warehouses and cellars In Which po-
totoes Intended for interstate ship
fnent are TO be stored must be first
cleaned thoroughly, then washed or
sprayed with a fresh lime wash con-
tanning one pound Of copper sulphate
(bluestone) TO every fifteen gallons Of
the wash. Nothing is said In the reg
ulations regarding the amount OF lime
required.
In addition to It's quality as a 6isin-
fectant, 1t is intended that this wash
shall assist IN the lighting of the bins
80 as to facilitate the work of inspee-
ton. 1t has been found that In order
to accomplish this purpose a minimum
quantity of six to eight pounds OF lime
per f1fteen gallons or wash is required.
The amount needed will vary some
what with the condition OF the lime.
This wash can be most economi-
cally and effectively applied by means
of sprayer. For this purpose either
! regular whitewash sprayer or an
orchard sprayer may be used The
special point to be observed is to have
coarse enough nozzle to avoid fire.
quent clogging, yet not so coarse as
| to be wasteful of the wash. It should
be sprayed evenly and thoroughly over
all parts of the interior. Time will be
saved if the wash is carefully strained
! before applying.
The same spraying outfit with finer
nozzle can be Used advantageously for
spraying the interiors of cars with the
one per cent copper sulphate solution
Barrels may be either sprayed or
dipped in tank containing the solu-
ton, preferred for disinfeetlon of I'm
piements. Other tools and implements
are to be similarly treated. Especial
care should be observed to ersploy this
treatment in passing from work In
fields known to be infected to those
thought to be clean. While CONNER
cial considerations lead the practical
man to avoid any unnecessary expense
too much care cannot be- taken to
avoid spreading the area of infection.
Intending shippers Of potatoes are
\ again urged to complete registration
| with this once at an early date SO as
to be kept informed directly on all
matters concerning their interest in
