Corporations Hit Too
Rep. Plummer took from the calendar
several other measures tabled by him
without assignment. Amongst them were
acts to extend the charters of certain
corpora tons formed for railroad develop
ment. DR.. Plummer charged that the
members of the House have been lax in
allowing so many private corporations to
be formed by the Legislature, stating
that 40 or more measures for such pur-
poses have already gone through at this
session. lie declared the constitution
provides that only corporations OF q GER
tain public character may be formed by
the Legislature and that legislation for
the formation Of private corporations
was prompted largely by the desire of
those interested to dodge the expense OF
organizing under the general law. He
asked that in future sessions those repre-
sentatfves Of the nth Legislature who
should be returned watch these private
corporation bills and eliminate them to
expedite public business.
Rep. Clifford OF Lewiston replied to DIR.
llummer on this subject and SAID the
unanimous report Of the committee IA
vorable 10 the extension of the charters
OF the several corporations that happen
ed to be named in the bills tabled should
be respected by the House. Without fur
Their debate the measures proceeded 10
their third readings, and after I few 9TH
or measures had been allowed to proceed

Poultry Culture

Rep. PlCmmer Of Lisbon. the economics
authority OF the House. launched forth
upon an emphatic denunciation OF the re-
solve to promote and assist the interests
of poultry culture. DR.. Plummer declared
that the poultry business in the State
comes the nearest TO being upon its feet
of any business in Maine and that during
the past year, as official records show,
there has been a large increase without
any protection from the State.
Rep. Coffin of Freeport came to the
rescue of the threatened resolve and ex-
planned that the poultry raisers of Maine
were entitled TO the same protection
given livestock raisers through the live
stock sanitary commissioners depart-
ment and that the $1,000 resolve created an
emergency fund for the protection OF
poultry interests.
Dr.. PIummer Scores
And right here DR.. Plummer batted out
q hot one and scored clean hit. Hold
ing an official report in his hand which
he stated was the report of the livestock
sanitary commissioner. he remarked that
he would like to pass on to the members
some OF the advice published by one of
the official heads of his so-styled protect
ed home industries. And from a section
of the report relating to colts he read:
should he survive the first three days,
generally all is well: if not. chances are
not good TO raise him. And everyone

Street Noises in Pekin.

An analysis of the street noises
of Pekin has been made by the
correspondent of an American
newspaper and ought to be use
full when the anti-noise crusade
reaches the Orient. The great
cause of confusion he finds is the
various street vendors, each Of
whom is armed with a noise-pro-
ducing instrument by which he
advertises his trade. The barber
has two prongs of steel through
which he draws a spike and thus
makes loud whir. The seller
of sweetmeats holds in his right
hand two brass cups which he
jangles together. The buyer Of
old clothes taps a small drum with
a bit of bamboo, getting by this
combination a "plunk, PUNK"
that attracts trade. The man
who has wicker baskets to sell
beats half a gourd with a drum
which has two bits of metal at
tached to it by strings, the toy
dealer strikes a brass gong of a
peculiarly penetrating tone, the
knife grinder claps three blocks
of iron togSther and the seller of
charcoal nbounces his coming by
a repeated e.tap, tap" on block
of wood. fhe Waterman intro

ed with aWooden drum, which be

Fruit by the Roadside.

Thirty years ago the writer of
this paragraph began preaching
the doctrine of planting fruit
trees along the roadside and has
continued the practice ever since.
Now that the movement has as
sumed definine shape, he natural
ly assumes that he is entitled to
some of the glory, but will be
satisfied to be ignored personally
if the good work can be magnifi-
ed until fresh fruit during the
season can be picked by the tour
list awheel or afoot. In many
communities, farmers organiza-
tons, horticultural societies and
local improvement societies have
taken up the matter and are
making for free roadside fruit.
One nursery-man in Missouri has
set out so, 900 apple, peach, pear,
plum and cherry trees along the
side of the highway. IN. Y. Sun.

Mulefooted Hogs.

Messrs. John Engle and Frank
Oakley, of Yocum, passed
through town last week with six
mulefooted hogs. They proved
quite a curiosity, as very few of
our people had ever seen a hog
of this variety before.
Someone remarked that they
had never heard of one and would
not have believed that such ami
mails existed if they had been
told before seeing them.

Death Claims Prominent Minister,

Elder John r. Wheeler, a
prominent minister of the Bap-
fist church and one of Morgan
county's most respected citizens,
died at the home Of his son Henry
on Straight Greek about -four
miles southwest of town Sunday
morning. He was 70 years old
and had been in poor health fol-
several years. For about two
years he had suffered from paral-
ysis, and a third stroke of this
disease, which he suffered Satur-
day night, proved fatal.
Elder Wheeler lived in West
Liberty for a number Of years
and his death, although not un-
expected, was a severe shock to
his friends here.
Elder Wheeler had been a con-
sistent christian from childhood
and for many years, or until ne
became enfeebled by disease, was
a leading minister of the old line
Baptist church. His passing re,
moves a citizen whose place in
the community will be difficult tc
fill.
The remains were inferred in
the family graveyard near his old
home on Straight Creek Monday,
