Sail on, Union, strong and great,
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate;
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workman wrought thy ribs of

Who made each mast, and sail and
rope,
What anvils rang what hammers beat,
In what forge, and what a heat,
Were shaped the anchors of thy hopei
Fear not each sudden sound and shock;
lis of the wave. and not the rock;
lis but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock. and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea,
Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee!
Our hearts, our hopes. our prayers, our
tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee!

Dear Sir
wish to say that voted for Roosevelt in 1872
also for Mr.. Haines l have not changed my attitude
toward either of them SO am sure no one can call me
Progressive Backslider." Last winter resi-
dent of Norway, Oxford County. The Progressves of
the county met at South Paris to talk the situa-
ton and formulate plans for the campaign now on.
One of the most prominent leaders in the party was
called upon to give his views the the Pro-
gressives should take in the State. He very plainly
stated that he believed that the party should nomi-
nate State officials from the Governor down. Others
were called upon to express their views and every
endorsed his proposition.
I asked permission to say a few words which was
granted The substance of what said was as follows:
"Gentlemen:-We are on the eve of State election
and the real issue in Maine is the prohibtory and
its enforcement. This important measure you have
not touched. Now if Mr.. Hanes was good enough for
to vote for two years ago ought surely to sup
port him now, for we have proved him and he has
made good-but according to the proposition you have
made planning to turn the State of Maine over
into the hands of democracy to be deluged with rum
like it has been under the Paisted administration Gen.
tlemen if you call that Progressive I'm not with YOU"
Where stood then stand now. see no other con-
sistent position a temperance man occupy
Last April the Maine Conference numbering one
hundred and ten members and probationers endorsed
without dissenting voice the following resolution
under the head of Temperance and Prohibition eve
express hearty thanks to Governor Haines for making
possible such sheriffs Graham, Oliver and Stevens
and pledge him cooperation in promoting law en-
forcement in Maine and without attempting dictate
the political utilization of people record as our
deliberate judgment that the moral welfare of our
State far secured by law enforcement, demands
the reelection of Governor William T. Hanes"
The election of Progressive Governor in Maine is a
forlorn hope" l am not prophet but l sincerely
believe that not in three Il am inclined to make
it FOUR who voted for Roosevelt in 1912 will vote for
Mr. Gardner. Why should they? Some of the most
hopeful Progressives claiming the success of
Mr.. Gardiner. They admit that the Progressives must
come out of the Republican party in order to win Still
the old party stands quite firm. It reminds me of this
story I'm certain county the Irish predominated and
they held county convention to consult about build
ing new jail. They finally passed three resolutions
follows:
list. Resolved that we build new jail.
2nd That the jail be built out of the material of
the old jail.
"3rds That the old Jail remain until the new jail is
built"

Somebody in South Portland seems
to have overlooked the protection of
part Of that city from fire, judging
from a little incident that occurred
there Wednesday, when the firemen
were obliged 10 stand idly by and
watch a house burn, because they
lacked hose to carry water to the
burning building. Fire was discovered
in Michael Jacobskys house at CO.
lonial Ave. off Anthoine st., and the
knightville Hose Co. was called, but
found that it did not have hose enough
to reach either from the hydrant at
the corner of Summer stKeet or at the
corner of Highland. The Pieasantdale
Hose Co. was then called and found
itself in the same prcdicament. The
hose of the two companies was Joined
together, but by that time the house
was in ruins. Loss about $1,000; in
surance $500.
The Civil War news OF SO years ago
included the following: Six hundred
troops were being sent daily to the
front from New York City; Castine's
quota was full and 80 men over; Major
VIM. r. Currier of Brewer, s1st Me.
Inf, died at Annapolis; three eloops of
war had been started at the navy yard
at Charlestown. Mass, the Guerriere,
Kewaydin and Manitou. A fisherman
reported the burning Of his vessel by
a rebel cruiser off Mt. Desert. He also
said that a bark and ship were seen
on fire at the same time.
The 10eth anniversary of the battle
of Hampden will be Thursday, Sept 8.
The British after occupying the place
proceeded to Bangor, where they de-
manded a surrender of the town, re-
.quiring bond of $4,000, and the sign
ing of an agreement by l96 citizens to
parole and bond that all vessels now
on the stocks be finished and delivered
at Castine on or about Oct. /. A bond
of $4,000 was required from Hamp-
den and the same conditions in regard
to vessels building. The close of the
war very soon afterwards Cancelled the
carrying out Of these agreements, al
though both places suffered consider
able loss from the visitations Of the
soldiery.

The growing of live stock for mar
ket by forage feeding is the distinctive
feature of the demonstration on the
farm of Mr.. Joseph Kinkaid at War
saw, Mo-, inaugurated by the Missouri
Pacific Railway. The railway COM
pany already has demonstration
farms in operation at various points
along its lines, but this is the first
venture of the company into the field
of animal husbandry. On September
list, 100 head of hogs, 200 sheap, 80
breeding ewes and $50 Idaho lambs
will be brought on the farm. The soil
is now planted to a variety of forage
crops, sown in succession, consisting
of COW peas and cor together, COW
peas planted separately, oats, soy
beans, rape and rye pasture. The
crops are in fi~rst-class condition at
the present time. The animals them
selves will do the harvesting, thus do
ing away almost entirely with the
item of expense for labor in that re-
spect. AS the experiment is for the
purpose of showing that this kind of
animal husbandry, which has been
successfully introduced by Prof. I'll.
Doane, head of the Farm Manage
ment Of the Missouri Agricultural
College, on many farms throughout
the State, returns the maxium of
profit in addition to building up the
soil, close check will be kept on every
item OF expense and on the gain made
by the animals on the different forage
foods. The agricultural department
of the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain
is one of the hobbies of President B.
F. Bush and much interest in the ex-
perimental farm work being done has
been manifested by the farmers along
the company's lines. Just recently
a large land company near Sheridan
Lake, Colo, desiring that incoming
settlers should have the benefit Of
scientific farming methods, set aside
a 800 acre farm to be used under the
direction of the Missouri Pacific road
as q demonstration farm. Within the
next year it is proposed to make this
a model farm for that section Of the
country.
