ment. An apple-grading and packing
law has been enacted, standardizing the
products of the Maine orchard, and has
raised the standard of Maine fruit in the
markets of the world.
| ''Now the next all-important step is
cooperation or business organization in
marketing and distribution. Under
present methods of marketing, there is
too much fruit concentrated on certain
large markets which soon become con-
gested, resulting in a tremendous loss to

ness, and in making up the program for
this meeting subjects have been chosen
representing the business or commercial
side of orcharding.
"On account of the extremely busy
season at which our annual meeting is
held, very small percentage of our
members are able to attend. l would,
therefore, recommend for your consider
ationthe advisability of holding our fruit
show in November, as in the past, and
the annual meeting and lecture course in
January at some railroad center when it
would be possible to have much larger
attendance and more satisfactory pro-
gram could be arranged for a meeting at
this time.
II would also recommend that great
er effort be put forth to secure an earlier
publication of the annual report. The
valuable information and important data
gathered at these meetings on such
timely subjects as orchard management
and spraying should be published either
in annual report or bulletin form and
mailed to every member by April first,
or before their orchard operations com
mence, as, under our present system,
much of this valuable data becomes an
cient history before it reaches the hands
of the growers.

dent of this society, | want to thank the
officers and members for the loyal sup
port given me at all times and all who
have contributed in even the smallest de-

cooperation that has prevailed in the
past will be accorded my successor and
pledge my hearty support in all his eff
forts to build up the fruit interests of

At the annual banquet of the Gorham
Board of Trade, Nov. 4th,a special fea-
ture of the evening was the following
poem written by the secretary, Embert
L. Jones, and dedicated to the Name
State Board of Trade.
Imperial. in thy verdant acres wide,
Whose fertile soil awaits the farmers hand:
Majestic, In thy rock bound coast and mighty
streams,
Tie Pine Clad Jewel of fair freedoms land.
What need thy sons should seek fairer cline.
II9, bend their sturdiness for wider gain,
When in thy lap lie riches vast, untold.
Waiting but the touch of industry and brain.
The healing of thy fragrant. waving pines,
Inc peace, which waits beside thy glorious
sea,
Are beck'ning ever to the weary hosts.
A haven, homeland Of the brave and free,
Call back thy children, who for years have
gone
In endless tide unto the golden, distant West.
Back to their birthright and their home,
where real endeavor gives them all that's best.

P0ISONS TURNED LOOSE

Fermentation and putrefaction are con-
stantly taking place in the digestive tract
and poisons are constantly being formed.
Provision has been made to take care of
these poisons but when the liver is torpid
and the bowels constipated they find
their way into the circulation and much
mischief follows. A coated tongue, head
ache and eruptions result.
The use of the gentle laxative pills,
Pinklets, will not only Danish these I'M
pleasant symptoms quickly but, if used
regularly for a reasonable time, will
really correct chronic constipation.
Pinklets contain no poisons or harm-
full drugs.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for free sample or
get full-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.
