AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound !;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

Senate, as his nomination therefor was
conceded.
Mr.. Parkhurst was born in Unity,
Waldo County, in 1864, was educated in
the common schools of Bangor, and at
Columbia University, where he graduated
from the Law Department in 1887, and
was admitted to the Penobscot bar in
1887.
In the sos he entered business with his
father, Jonathan F. Parkhurst, then
conducting trunk factory in Bangor.
For the last 20 years Mr.. Parkhurst has
been the head of the concern, which is
one of the largest industries in Bangor.
When Mr.. Palkhurst entered the busi-
ness from eight to ten men were employ
de. Today he is employing from $50 to 200
men, and the men in his employ and their
families represent more than 500 people.
Mr.. Parkhurst was elected to the Com
mon Council in 1893 and was its president
the following year.
Col. Parkhurst was scommissary gen.
eral on the staff Of Governor John F.
Hill and was delegate to the Republican
National Convention in Philadelphia that
nominated Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Following term as member of the
Republican State committee from Penob-
scot county Col. Parkhurst was in 1912
chosen chairman of the committee and
his energetic work and far-sighted dis
plomacy in handling very difficult situa-
ton brought him the commentator of
all, Republicans .as we'll as Statewide
acquaintance. He was also in charge of
the special election in the Third District
in 1913 and is generally given the credit
for the election of Hon. John A. Peters

AROOSTOOK DEPRESSION

Due to Low Spud Prices and Quarantine
E. A. Rogers of the Maine DEPART
ment of agriculture recently returned
from a ten days trip through Aroos-
took county in the course of which he
visited Houlton, Caribou, Mars Hill.
Blaine, Pressure Isle, Fort Fairfield and
other towns which play an important
part in the business activities of Names
premier agricultural county.
Mr.. Rogers says that the depression
in Aroostook county is general and m.
mistakable. This years planting, he
estimates from the average of PROSPECTS
as stated to him by leaders in the pota-
to industry in Aroostook, will be Is per
cent. below last years and Aroostook
men declare that there will come into
the county 600 car loads of fertilizer less
than in the season of 1914, which under
normal conditions would mean falling
off in acreage amounting to IL, 900 acres.
Mr.. Rogers met one man who came
out about $500 behind in the 1913 season
on account of the low price and hoped to
make up his deficiency by the profits on
an increased acreage last year; the re-
suit is an increased indebtedness. Such
stories, Mr.. Rogers said, are common in
AoooSoOAA NSNiiey
preston can be accounted for by sur
vey of the low price of potatoes and the
quarantine on account of powdery scab.
Speaking of the powdery scab, Mr..
Rogers stated that Aroostook men in
general do not consider the disease seri-
GUS one at all. He told OF one man who
picked out the best examples of pow
derry scab he could find amongst bis po-
tatO seed and Dlanted them in a rark ad
plot. When the crop was dug on that
plot the potatoes were absolutely free
from blemish. This year he is going to
plant again on the same plot in the same
way to see if the condition of the soil
the second year will affect the tubers.
Blemlshes resulting from diseases of the
tubers are found on potatoes, which are
thought to be much more serious than
powdery scab, and no notice is taken of
them by the federal authorities. Many
Aroostook potato raisers consider the
powdery scab farcica in every phase
from diagnosis to the methodof inspection

By Melville W. Fuller.
Let drum to trumpet speak
The trumpet to the cannoneer without,
The cannon to the heavens from each redoubt,
Each iowly valley and each lofty peak,
AS to his rest the great commander goes
Into the pleasant land and earned repose.
The great commander, when
Is heard no more the sound of wars alarms,
Inc bugle's stirring note, the clang OF arms,
Depreciation's tongue would whisper then
Only good fortune gave to him success,
When was there greatness fortune did not
bless?
Not in his battles won,
Though long the wel-1ought fields may keep
their name,
The gallant soldier finds the need of fame,
But in the wide worlds sense of duty done;
His life no struggle for ambitions prize,
Simply the duty done that next him lies.
And as with him of old,
Immortal captain of triumphant Rome,
Whose eagles made the rounded globe their
home,
How the grand soul of true heroic mould
Desplsed resentment and such meaner things,
That Peace might gather all beneath her
wings!
No lamentations here,
The weary hero lays him down to rest
AS tired infant at the mothers breast,
Without care, without thought of fear.
Waking to greet upon the other shore
The glorious host of comrades gone before.
~ Earth to its kindred earth;
The spirit to the fellowship of soul
AS slowly time the mighty scroll unrolls
Of waiting ages yet to have their birth.
Fame, faithful to the faithful, writes on high
His name as one that was not born to die.

When, weary with the dusty tread
OF marching troops, as night drew nigh.
sank upon my soldier bed,
And calmly slept; the starry dome
OF heavens blue arch my canopy,
And mingled with my dreams of home
The thoughts of Peace and Liberty.
''Stack Arms!" I've heard it when the shout
Exulting ran along our line.
OF foes hurled back in bloody rout,
Captured. dispersed; its tones divine
Then came to mine enraptured ear,
Gueroon of duty nobly done.
And glistened on my cheek the tear
OF grateful JOY for victory won.
STACK Arms?' In faltering accents, slow
And sad. it creeps from tongue to tongue,
broken, murmuring vail of woe.
From manly hearts by anguish wrung.
Like victims of midnight dream,
We move, we know not how nor why:
For life and hope like phantoms seem,
And it would be relief to die!

GOOD ROADS DAY.
Ellsworth Men Make Work a Pleasure
Good Work Being Done.

This is good roads day IN Ellsworth.
Down on the stretch of road connecting
with that gilt-edged State highway in
Trenton, men and teams are busy, MAX
ing holiday of work day, with
choWder dinner as side feature. There
WILDE blisters tonight on many hands I'M
accustomed to handle the pick and shovel.
Street Commissioner Newman, who is
boss-in-chie says there were about $50
men on the job this morning, of whom
about 100 were sub-bosses. Thirty or
more teams were kept busy. Bar Har-
Dor and Trenton were represented among
the laborers.
The men opened up gravel pit on the
Osgood place which began to look like a
north of France army trench by noon.
Gravel was moved rapidly, the teams
making about twelve turns each in the
forenoon. The road had been prepared
for the gravel beforehand by Street
Commissioner Newman and his regular
crew, and the work today consisted of
gravelling the road.
The work began al the Trenton line.
By noon third of a mile had been
gravelled. Then came the call for din
ner at the Osgood farm. Caterer John
H. Leland lived up to his reputation with
the fish chowder prepared. The ladies'
turned out in force to assist in serving
dinner to the hungry laborers and the
dozens of inspectors" who came down
to look over the work just in time for
dinner.
The thinner scene was an interesting
one. No tables were spread. but the
diners, with bowls of chowder, hard
tack, bread, doughnuts, pickles, baked
beans, coffee, ETC., found. places as best
they could on the ground on and in auto
mobiles. An old hayrack formed con-
venient lunch counter for congress-
man, y justice of the supreme court and
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor. 1t was merry crowd,
where good digestion waited on ap-
petite, and health on BOTH"
A light shower just after dinner
threatened to cut short the operations
for the day, but the volunteer crew had
entered thoroughly into the spirit of the
work, and it took more than shower to
dampen their enthusiasm. They stuck
to the job long after steady rain set in
for the afternoon. Ellsworth American,

GOOD ADVICE.

A contributor to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside tells as follows how
to avoid lawsuits:
"Talk about no one.
"Make friends with people who hate
you.
"Give no one cause to hate you.
"Do not injure trespassing stock.
eff the line fence needs mending, get
together; and get it done at any cost,
and don't quarrel over foot or two Of
land.
"Help any living thing in need, espec-
tally sick or poor neighbor.
Don't sign any papers unless you are
sure of their contents.
Don't brag about your bank account.
Don't 60 on any persons note, even
to save his home; for, while your SYM
pathy may be all right, doing so may
send your own wife to the poorhouse.
Don't make threats, harbor rough
cases, or 20 in debt.

WHY BASEBALL MANAGERS LIKE

side, the national farm paper published
at Springfield, Ohio. Hugh S. Fullerton
writes an exceedingly interesting article
entitled, Farm Boys in Baseball. He
names great number of such boys who
have made good in the big leagues and
tells why. In the following extract
taken from his article he tells what a
major-Ieague manager said about farm
boys as baseball players:
1.-The other day inquired of major
league manager what class of young
men he wanted for his team.
=" Give me the farmer, he replied in
stantly. The chances for his falling
victim to the temptations of baseball are
fewer. He may not be as well posted az
to city ways, but in one season you can
not tell the difference. They come larg-
er, stronger, live cleaner, and think
more clearly than city boys 10. Besides,
the majority of them have the right idea
in view. They want to get money to
buy a farm.

years ago so per cent of the major-league

from the Atlantic States. Now more

players come from farms or from small

And browning triumph wakes
Inc loud joy-gun, whose thunders run

In the sword that Grant received from Lee.
