An Illinois authority, who has been gathering statistics and compiling them till he knows what he is talking about announces that the average pay of the average Illinois farmer comes to just $12.50 a month. Illinois is supposed to be about the top notch as a farming state, too. Twelve dol- lars and a half a month is the farmer s average wage for doing just about twice the work that he has to pay the hired man thirty dollars for. Why? The answer of this authority is that the average Illinois farmer doesn't get out of his land much more than half that which it is capable of pro-

When you come right down to funda- nentals, it is just because certain men have seen this and acted upon it that they have become known and noted as best workman
 I used, occasionally, to watch two compositors, typesetters in the old days when newspapers were "set up" by hand. One of these men at his case was a. moving picture of the most in tense and rapid action. His fingers fairly flew: his stick" actually jump ed from one end of the case to the other, to meet the type picked fingers. His head bobbed back and forth; his whole body throbbed and quivelssd and shook with his vigorous labor. Just beyond him another compositor stood before his case. as it seemed quite leisurely reaching out for one type after another and deliberately setting it in it's due line. His motions were not rapid: he gave one the impression of working rather easily, not to say slowly. Yet, when the nights strings were measured up. he had invariably set from a sixth to a quarter more type than the flying fingered chap be- hind him.
 The simple reason was that he made every move count with 8 fresh type while the other mans strength was wasted in useless motions which hadn't anything to do with getting the type out Of its box and into the line.

 In other words. the Illinois farmers lack of scientific efficiency Is keeping his average wage down to simply pitt able and pitiful figures.
 When, In some recent talks, I've urged farmers to look into this matter of increasing their production. haven't had any idea of advising them to work harder or to work longcr hours. Goodness knows, the most of us do enough. The trouble is that we don't get profitable results from what we do
 If a little more use of our think stuff and a little shrewder adaptation of our work to direct ends would result in giving us a bushel and half or two bushels to sell where we now get only one bushel, wouldn't it make a diff ference in our income, whether we ell iu profit or wages? Wouldn't it bo worth while?
 "What's the use of raising more stuff when we can't sell what we have | at a fair price?"
 Ia My dear fellow, that's the market | ing problem. I've been bowling about 1 the need for cooperation between the | producer and consumer so as to let | them and not the middlenen control | the market, till some of you have got awful tired of hearing 1t. Some of you | can find objections to anything pro | posed along this line faster than a | lamb can shake it's tail in dy-time. Very well. then: why not attack the | problem at it's other end and try to produce more? Producing more, evcn at present prices, will increase our | income. And. when a state like Con necttcut imports nearly three-quarters of the farm products 1t consumes, We | Connecticut farmers needn't be much | afraid that the little extra we can raise will glut the market and further reduce prices.

There's nothing abstruse or faneiful or impractical about all this, as you see. It's really nothing but carrying out the ractice of the best workmen: extending to a general application the principles they have discovered and worked out for themselves in their own particular trades.

Scout work for the boys has received
most of the secretary's attention this
week. Plans are being laid for an active
scout work program for Southwest Har-
Dor, Seal Harbor, Islesford, Cranberry
isles and Bass Harbor. Two camping
sites are to be fitted up for use as head
quarters for overnight hikes, and two or
three day camps.
The old scout camp at Bubble pond is to
be fitted up and made suitable for such
camping trips. A tract of land has also
been secured near Bass Harbor that will
make an ideal spot for such camping
trips. These camping trips will teach the
boys self-relianee as nothing else will.
They will have unusual opportunities to
become acquainted with nature in all her
many forms.
These trips will always live in the lives of
these boys, for they give the boys happy,
healthy vacation and an outdoor life full
of fun and sport under wholesome in
fiuence and surroundings. The boys will
have to make camp building lean-tos, do
their own cooking, make their own beds
roughing it under efficient leadership.
Plans for the big picnic dinner and
athletic meet at Bernard are developing
Two bali games have been arranged for the
afternoon. The young boys of Mckinley
and West fremont will cross bats, and
Southwest Harbor will meet a team from
Bass Harbor. These two events will be
worth witnessing.
Tue ladies are making preparations to
take care of all corners and are looking
forward to a large number of people who
will that day have the pleasure of sampling
some Of their good cooking and fine hospi-
tality. Don't miss the big dinner, as it
will be the big thing on the program.
A ug-oiwar is one Of the big athletic
| events. All boys wishing to complete in
these events should communicate with w.
| Edward Davies, Southwest Harbor, as
soon as possible. The events are open to
any boy on the grounds. Ribbons will be
awarded in each event, and a special prize
offered to the boy making the largest total
| of points in the meet.
The events include the following: Crab
race, sack race, fifty and one hundred
yard dashes, relay races, standing and
running broad jump, standing and run
ming high jump, baseball throw, bicycle
race, three-legged race, wheelbarrow race,
and others, in which boys can enter on
the grounds.
Events will be arranged for girls also,
in which they may enter on the grounds.

mittees from all sections of the coun-
| ty told the same story-the return to
| the ranks of Roosevelt and Lawrence
republicans. Every town and planta-
ton was heard from, and every COM
mitteeman reported that in his town
the progressive vote of last Septem-
Der would be split in two and that
there were democrats who had per-
sonally stated that they would vote
the republican ticket this fell.
These reports we're not hearsay evil
dence-they were from men who had
personally interviewed the men of
whom they spoke. One of the COM
mitteemen from Fairfield reported
that he knew ten men who voted for
Lawrence last year, who were now
out for the republicans. Cambridge
showed gain of only one from the
progressive party, but as this one was
the only man who voted the pro-
gressive ticket in Cambridge last fall,
the report was entirely satisfactory.
Madison committeeman reported
that one of the most prominent pro-
gressives in that town was now a re-
publican worker, and that this man
stated that practically all OF the
former progressive vote would be re-
publican this fall. The town is having
business depression, virtually all the
mills being affected by the tariff.
The report from Moscow was given
by A. II. Messer, a former pro-
gressive, who said: 1.-THE progressives
are coming back in my town. I have
voted twice for progressive tickets,
and ami now going back to the re-
publicans."
The representative from st. Adams
were men who voted for Lawrence
last fall. One of them, F. N. Vining,
said that he was member of the pro-
gressive county committee, had voted
for Lawrence, and had been worker
for the progressives. When he was
asked how many progressives there
would be this fall in st. Adams he
stated: "There won't be enough to
play checkers"
The signs from Somerset tell the
same story that is being told else
where in the State and nation.
Another rousing conference was
held at Belfast Monday, and Waldo
county committeeman tell the same
story of the rising repu blican tide.

Still WatchfnllY Waiting.

The administration in Washington
watchfully waited while Americans
in Mexico were insulted, murdered
and plundered, until finally a red
blooded American rear admiral re-
fused to watchfully wait while Ameri-
can marines were arrested, and the
administration at Washington was
perforce compelled to back him up.
We watchfully waited for Huerta
to salute the flag; we are still watch
fully waiting for that little act of
apology to this big and powerful
country of ours.
The administration had to make a
showing to back up its demand, and
so sent a naval force down to Vera
Cruz and took possession.
We waitfully watched while cargo
OF arms we had headed off at Vera
Cruz was landed at another port and
delivered to Huerta. We waitfully
watched while a few other cargoes of
war munitions slipped out of our own
ports and down to the rebels at
Mexico.
We left the boys of our army and
navy sweltering in the tropic heat OF
Vera Cruz summer waitfully watch
ing while we watchfully waited for
some definite results from mediation.
And now it seems that mediation is
to be left hanging in the air while we
watchfuliy wait.
For what?

In the death of this most lovable and
interesting woman, long life has been
rounded out in glorious fuilness of mental
strength, beautiful faith and usefulness to
the last. For many years she had resided
with her daughter here in Fort Plain, en-
tering into the life and activities OF her
adopted home with the greatest interest
and zeal. She was a devoted member of
the Reformed church and also a charter
member as we'll as the oldest of the Satur-
day Afternoon Study class, retaining her
interest and fulfilling her duties in that
organization until her final Illness
Charitable, yet sturdy in her views of
right and wrong, she ever carried with her
the spirit of youth in her intellectual
strength and energies. She was born in
that period when poetry and the senti-
ments of life were best, and her continued
ledge of current topics and events, stored
in her wonderful memory, made converse
with her delight. She will be sorely
missed by her family and the many friends
here and in her old home, for few cross

mentality as this loved pilgrim. Fort

Margaret s., widow OF Charles Gsynor,
one of Ellsworth oldest residents, died
Saturday. She was eighty-three years Of
age.
Mrs. Gaynor had lived in Ellsworth all
her married life, quietly performing her
duties in the home and among her wide
circle of friends with a devotion and
charitableness that made her life beauti-
full. She was a home-maker in the truest
sense, and in the home she will be most
missed, though spared for so many years
to receive the devotion OF sons and daugh-
tiers, to whom her own life had been given
so largely.
She leaves six sons and two daughters
