1t Is 0 quite clear from the reports
whether Baker meant to argue that
our Revolutionary ancestors were
rough but the right kind Of men and
therefore that the MeXicans are justi-
fed in their peculiar methods OF war
fare, or whether the Secretary argued
that the Mexicans are a bad lot Who
learned their art OF war from reading
books about the American Revolution.
There Is. however. n very clear issue
In the whole matter. namely that Sec
rotary Baker. a high official OF the
United States Government and tho
present head Of the army Of the Uni
ted States, publicly takes the ground
that the first army OF the United
States was made up Of, or at least
contained a large number OF. scoun-
drels OF the deepest dye, who burned,
ravaged, robbed and murdered their
" countrymen.

POTATO NOTES
eft. Fairfield Review. Aug. 1e,

eft. Fairfield Review, Aug. 16)
The potato crop looks first-rate,
and seems to be doing nicely. A spot
or two Of rust is reported here and
there, but it does not seem to amounr
to much. occurring only in the very
low places where there seems to
have been little too much water.
F. P. Fisher and Gardner Chaplin are
already buying Cobblers in Fort Fair
field. having loaded each a car and
also being engaged in loading more.
They are paying $1.75. The tubers
are very fine, only so green that they
may reach market a little skinned
and darkened. Those who are dig
ging say they are getting from 80 to
80 barrels an acre, which is Of course
a good crop for this time Of the year.
Not much will be done in shipping.
probably, until week after next, while
digging in real earnest will probably
not be begun until after the Northern
Maine Fair at Presque Isle, which oc-
ours September S, 6, and 8. It Is a
common expectation that potatoes will
soon be bought in the Aroostook towns
for $1.50 a barrel or a little less, al.
though, on account Of the apparent
scarcity Of potatoes in other parts of
the United States, it is doubtful If
very many can be bought, except in
special instances. at much less than
that figure. The quantity of potatoes
contracted this year does not seem to
be quite so great as formerly, while
the number of farmers who are com.
PEELED to sell at once in order to get
ready money seems to be less than
usual, owing to the fact that last yea.
was pretty good year and that the
general condition OF the Aroostook
farmer is this year somewhat better
than last
What looks like a new disease has
made its appearance on some Aroos-
took potatoes. 1t is evidenced by
black spots on the leaves. Many are
inclined to think, however, that this
trouble is caused by spraying with a
mixture containing too much vitrioI
or at least vitriol that was not prop
erly mixed with lime. The potato
leaves grew very fast a part Of this
season, so that they were unusually
tender. hence might be more easily
burned by vitriol or other strong mat
ter than they generally are. The
scientists will soon let us know, how
ever, what this apparently new disease

10000 PEOPLE AT
BROOKS LAST DAY
OF THE centennial

Brooks. Me. Aug. 1S.-Fully 10000
people were in town Thursday, the
biggest and last day Of the Centen-
nial celebration. The trades, floral
and historical parade started at 10
o'clock with % floats, several fraternal
orders, the Fire Department and
school children making a line nearly a
mile long.
Literary exercises were held in the
afternoon in Union Hall. at which A.
B. Payson presided. Addresses were
given oy Hon. John E. Bunker secre-
tary Of State; Seth w. Norwood, and
B. B. Plummer. superintendent of
schools. A Centennial poem was read
by Clifton P. Roberts. a great grand
son of the first white child born in
Brooks.
Sports were also held, an exciting
feature being the tug Of war between
teams from Jackson and Brooks,
which was won by Jackson by mar
row margin. The baseball game be-
tween Troy and Camp Windemere
was a tie, 4 to 4. when called by
agreement. The dashes and other
field events were nearly all won by
Bert Farmer of Monroe, a Hebron
Academy athlete.
At S o'clock there was an automo-
bile parade with about so handsome
ly decorated cars in line. The day
ended with big display Of fireworks
and Centennial ball.

REPORTS UNCLEAN FOOD FAC.
TORIES.

Must not woman exercise a new
kind of chivalry in protecting her
family from adulterated foods, from
foods made in unssnitary condition.
from foods which are denatured OF
their most important properties?"
asks Mrs. Christine Frederick, writ
ing in the New York Evening Sun
recently. There is no stronger rea
son for giving her the vote than this
very necessity to protect and defend
her home. On April 8, the New
York Globe called attention to the
fact that the ice cream factories of
New York City are neither inspect
ed. passed, rejected nor controlled.
Cones made OF dirty -four. colored
with coal tar dies, sweetened with
sugar substitutes and packed filthy,
are reported by this investigator.
The individual housewife cannot
visit every factory where food is pro-
duced, and even if she should, her
individual complaint would receive
as much attention as the protest of
an enraged sparrow whose nest is
upset. Give women votes to aid
them in chivalry to the husbands and
children they need not be urged to
