David WATSON of Brooksvllle, which IN
less than month increased in weight
from n pounds to 100 pounds. The same
year an ATTEMPT was made to establish a
literary paper called The Crescent. A
few numbers only were issued, when the
undertaking was abandoned for want of
sufficient patronage and proper encour-
agement.
In 1872 eighteen numbers of local
monthly paper. The Castine Gazette,
were issued by my father, DR.. George A.
Wheeler. During the year 1882 Mr..
Charles Burgess of Belfast started The
Castine Visitor, very neat little sheet.
The local part was edited by Mr.. Frank
T. Webster. The subscription list was
SO small, however, that Mr.. Burgess was
obliged to discontinue it.
In 1884 two young girls of nineteen or
twenty, Louise Wheeler and Jeanette
Hooke, started weekly paper under the
heading Castine Gazette, which ran for
ABOUT two years, but was given up, not
because it was unsuccessful, but because
the young lady editors decided to get
married. | will tell you, confidentially,
that their experience in editing and print
ing newspaper was funnier than any
thing you have heard tonight; but, as l
was one of the girl editors, you can
readily see that it is now ancient history,
and can be told only by real historian.

OUR ABSENT SAIL CRAFT.

Not for many years has there been
such dearth of canvas on the coastwise
routes as in this war year 1915. In two
weeks recently not one ton of coal was
brought to the port of Boston by a sail
vessel, and from the Delaware, Hamp-
ton Roads and New England waters our
three-To urand five-masted schooners are
conspicuous by their absence. The ex-
PLANTATION, of course, is that they have
''gone foreign" tempted by high coal
and lumber rates overseas. Week by
week the chartering of American sail
craft for these long-voyage trades con-
tinues, though rates are, perhaps, not
quite so firm as they we're some months
ago.
Yet this active employment of wooden
fore and ALTERS does not lead to any con-
siderable new construction. At Bath
one large fve-master is on the stocks,
and the other day fine three-mas-
ter was launched at Phippsburg for
the Southern lumber trade. In spite of
present record breaking profits, ship
owners are apparently convinced that
the day of the wooden sail craft is draw
ing to close except for local navigation.
Yet hundreds of good vessels remain,
and may they long be with US. 1t will be
some time yet before all sail tonnage
vanishes from beneath the American flag
In Great Britain during the quarter that
ended June 80, 1915, 434 steam vessels.
of 1,505, OPS gross tons and eight sailing
vessels, of a total of 1900 tons, were
under construction.
1t is quite possible the improving
efficiency and economy of motors will
give longer lease of life to sail or aux
iliary vessels on the Atlantic and Pacif
coasts of the United States. So long as
the present war continues-and present
prospects are that it will last several
years American square-rigged and fore
and-aft-rigged sail vessels are certain of
advantageous employment. They are
no longer, as they too often have been,
the neglected orphans of the sea. They
deserve all their good fortune, and there
is eminent fitness in the fact that many
of these fine, great sail craft are round
ing out their careers with the highest
earnings in their history. The Marine

THE GREATEST CROPS ON RECORD

Three billion bushels of corn, one and
a half billion bushels of oats and billion
bushels of wheat are in prospect for this
years American harvest.
Record crops of rye, white and sweet
potatoes, tobacco, rice and hay also are
predicted for the prosperous farmers,
who have planted 80, SAG, 900 acres, 49,
900, 900 acres more than last year to
their principal products.
The wheat crop, the greatest ever
grown in any country, will be worth more
than $1,000, 900, 600, while the corn corp
value may reach $500, 900, 900.
Estimates of the principal crops, an
nounced Aug. OH by the Department of
Agriculture based on conditions of Aug.
l, show that all crops will be greater
than last year. Wheat and corn showed
improvement over July conditions, though
excessive rains and cold weather in the
central States interfered with threshing.
Corn prospects increased almost lO0,-
600, 600 bushels.
White potatoes promise to exceed their
former record production by l03, 900, 900
bushels and sweet potatoes by 1000, 900
bushels

Gently and reports that, up to few
months ago, membership in the societies
was as follows, though probably all of
them have increased somewhat since
these figures were comniled:
