Outlaws Not After
Men Under Contract

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-President Gil
more denies that the Federal League
is making any special effort to Sc
cure National League players in pref
erence to America Leaguers.
You may say that the Federal
League will take any ball player in
either league not under contract to
any club" said Gilmore. I'VE will
not negotiate with any player who has
signed a contract When the roster
Of the eight clubs is announced, the
public will find probably as MANY
American League Players as National
Leaguers.'

AVOID PLANTING TAINTED
POTATOES.
Every Tuber That Comes From Out
side Should be Fumigated.

Farmers should take the precaution
to treat their potato seed to prevent
the introduction into their land of pc
tato scab or blackleg, two diseases
often carried on potatoes. The former
is a parasitic growth which attacks the
tubers only, producing characteristic
roughening of the surface which so
Injuries the appearance of the tubers
as to greatly reduce their market
value 1t is easily detected on badly
affected tubers, but apparently
smooth, healthy ones may carry the
germs of the disease, and unless one
knows that his seed comes from fields
that are free from the disease the SAT
est plan is to disinfect the same just
before planting. The usual method is
to soak the uncut tubers for two
hours in solution made by adding
one pint of formaldehyde to thirty
gallons of wtaer This material is
inexpensive and may be bought of any
druggist. The amount given should
be enough to disinfect twenty bushels
of seed. After soaking spread the
tubers out; allow them to dry, and
then cut and plant. 1t in no way in
jures the termination of the potato.
The latter disease-blackleg
is controlled by the same treatment as
the scab, is of bacterial origin 1t
causes the seed tuber to rot early. in
some cases before the sprouts break
through the ground, thus causing an
irregular stand 1t spreads over the
base of the stem, stops the growth of
the plant and soon causes death. In
addition to the precaution, one should
be careful when cutting his seed to
reject all tubers which show any
blackening of the inside flesh, as this
may be an indication of disease.

OLD-TIME HUSKING BEES.
They Were Quite Different ard More Lively
Than Similar Occasions of Today.

lnd0 SlmIldf OCCASIONS Oh lOudy.
Il recently read an account of party
that attended a 'husking' somewhere
and it is said there were 10 in the party,
and that after refreshments had been
served the party enjoyed whist and tan
CO." said an old gentleman, "and could
not help noting the difference between
the huskings of today and those we used
to have when l was a boy and young
man and lived over on the Cape.
Somehow it seemed to me that the
young people do not have such good times
as they used to, or the older ones either
for that matter. 1t may be thal I'm an
old fogy and don't see things as l ought
| to, but all the same, the old ways seemed
the best. In those days the young peo-
pie were in their beds by half past nine
at the outside except on special occasions,
| such as parties, huskings and so on
There were no bad actions, but all
behaved themselves like ladies and gen.
! tlemen, and all went in for good time.
| remember one time when | was lad
OF about Is was at party given at one
of the houses in the neighborhood. There
were perhaps 20 couples present, besides
rugs had all been removed from the
found in country houses them to allow
for dancing.
The music consisted OF one fiddler,
and he did the prompting for the dances.
There were cotilions and contra dances,
such as Miss Browns Reel, Money Musk
and Hulls Victory, and the dancers
danced with their feet instead of nod
ding their heads and bobbing about as
they do now.
I'm those good old times most of the
farmers raised large fields of yellow
corn and all through the corn was to be
seen yellow pumpkins lying between the
COWS. After the crops had been harvest
ed the farmers would hold huskings, to
which old and young were invited. The
corn would be arranged all around the
sides of the great barn floor and every
BODY turned to and husked corn. Once
in a while a red ear would be found by
some Of the party and this would be the
cause Of fun, as the one finding it must
pay forfeit. The girls would try to
hide it, but the boys were on the lookout
and called for judgment. Then there
would be tussle and the girls enjoyed it
as well as did the boys.
"After the corn was all husked, the
party would adjourn to the house, where
IHc Soou HOUSEWIFE, Will HeI dSolStduto,
would have most tempting supper pre-
pared. And such supper: Chicken pie,
roast chicken, roast turkey (every farm
er on the Cape raised turkeys them with
all the fxings; pies of mince, apple.
custard, and best Of all, the good old
pumpkin pies. While the supper was in
progress, the farmer would have the
barn floor cleared, and after supper all
went back to the barn for the dance,
which always followed the husking.
Those were the times when people en-
joyed themselves and they didn't dance
the tango, either.
During intermission one of the girls
sang "Her Bright Smile Haunts Me
STILL" and if you'll believe me her smile
has haunted me ever since, for married
her so years ago" -Portland Express

THE NEW YORK OUTCOME.

The Empire State has swung back into
the Republican column, horse, foot and
dragon. Whitman has won by an old
time Republican majority. Gynn's
plurality in the greater city falls as low
as did that of David B. Hill in 1894. The
Legislature is Republican in both branch
es, and James W. Wadsworth, Jr., Re-
publican, has been elected to the United
States Senate.
These New York results have two
fold Importance. They put an end to
Mr.. Roosevelt as figure in national
politics, since stripped of power there
he can hardly expect to hold it elsewhere.
The Republican party has shown that
it can get along without him. 1t NOM
mated a candidate against whom he was
particularly bitter, and won.
The New York returns also have a
great bearing on the presidential election
in1916. 1t is the Empire State" in our
quadrennial contests, no President hav-
ing been successful without its electoral
votes since James Buchanan in1856-
except, of course, the Tilden fasco.
New York's return to Republicanism
puts an end to any expectation of an
easy Democratic victory in that year. -

In referring to the Army list examined
at The Journal office Capt. johnson
wrote of it's containing the names of but
three from Maine who fought in the Mex
lean war. This is an error. Capt. johnson
will no doubt recollect that we looked only
for certain names in the army list. A
further examination would no doubt re-
veal several others from Maine, though
not from Waldo county. Henry Prince
of PASSPORT, graduate of West Point,
was twice brevetted in the Mexican war
for gallantry in battle, and was again
brevetted in the Civil War. He was
cousin of the late Hon. Albert Pisbury
of Machias, who lost two brothers in the
Mexican war, but they were born in
Massachusetts. One was Past Mid
shipman, who was drowned while in COM
mand of boat chasing Mexican vessel
in the Gulf of Mexico and who gave his
life for one of his men; and the other
died of yellow fever at Vera Cruz when
in command of an army transport. We
NAV add here that great credit is due
Capt. johnson, now past 80 years of age,
for this and other efforts to secure rec
ords of those who have done their country
oood service in the time of war, on land
and sea.
