No woman suffering from any form of
female troubles should lose hope until
she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound fair trial.
This famous remedy, the medicinal
ingredients of which are derived from
native roots and herbs, has for forty
years proved to be a most valuable tonic
and invigorator of the female organism.

Every one knows that if the banks of

during summer months when money was
plentiful and cheap, they would have dis

But the banks would not do that. As
money became plentiful in midsummer
ulation and encouraged the use of every
dollar possible regardless of returns

panic in 1909, which was averted only by
three heroic distinct and unprecedented
acts of the treasury department and no
actual panic ir 1907, had the banks during
the preceding summers exercised reason

clearly foreseen crises 1t remains to he

will go up against if they undertake to
enforce any contraction of the currency

Dairy Instructor j. H. Blanchard re-
.lrned Thursday afternoon from q trip
on department business through Oxford
county. visiting South Paris, Water
ford. Norway, Eridgton, Hebron.
Buckfleld. West Sumner and Harrison.
The dairymen throughout this section
were visited and about all found busy
in harvesting their hay. They report
about the same difficulty in obtaining
sufficient help as in other sections and
are being much bothered on this ac-
count.
Mr.. Blanchard also visited the cream
cries in South Paris and Waterford.
They are now getting a liberal amount
Of cream and business is flourishing.
Mr. Blanchard wishes to call the at
tention Of the farmers to the fact that
owing to the high price Of grain. with
the prospects that it will be much high
er, it will be highly important Tor them
to be careful in securing and keeping
only the highest grades Of stock.
Mr.. Blanchard noticed a fine field of
alfalfa on the way from Casco to Port
land. There are very few fields OF al
faifa in the State. Can alfalfa be
grown successfully on average Maine
soil?" Mr.. blanchard was asked and he
called attention to a recent bulletin Is
sued by Commissioner of Agriculture
Guptill in which the latter states that
there is no question but what alfalfa
can thrive in very many places where
it Is now thought that it could not, II
it Is sown on sufficiently well drained
soil, also that on dry land, even II not
very fertile, considerable crops of al
falfa may be grown.
The State dairy instructor will pass
Friday and Saturday in Livermore
Falls and Canton, on the usual business
matters in connection with his depart
ment work.

sort desired by the writer is In the

Dear Sir: -
I am in search Of an uncle of mino
who has been away more than 20
years. I have been told that he Is
living in Maize and that he has a
private trout pond. If he has one you
would probably know where he is To-
Gated. His name is Francis Hap
good and he is between 20 and 80
years old. He lived here some 20
years ago and said he was going to
Maine and we have never heard from
him since.
Any information you can give will
be thankfully received. Thanking
you. am.
Yours very truly.

tanning the tails Of two little bob cats.

No certificates accompanied the ship
ment. although the tails were received
from Town Treasurer 1. e. Stanley OF

been exhausted. with the exception OF

remains in the treasury, with numerous

Forest Department

Deputy Forest Commissioner Ed
ward A. Mathes reports sending on
Thursday to Washington the payroll
for the full month os July for the fed Z.
eral watchmen, 20 men in all, who are
working in this State in cooperation
with the forest service Of Maine. 1t
amounted to $149S.75
The following is an interesting re-
mark from the report Of Fire Patrol
III. ". Savage, who writes under date
Of Aug. from Township A, Ranges
II and ~. in Piscataquis county:
The electric storms have been
fierce this summer, on account of the
war in the East"
The remark is proof positive that
the patrolman is following the course
Of events in the outer world and has
opinions Of his own on that subject
and by the way one in which he is
not alone.
Patrolman Savage also reports that
lightning on Aug. put the telephone
line to White Cap tower out of COM
mission. requiring a trip there to re-
pair the damage.
Deputy Warden Charles B. Wood
Of the Seven Islands district, on the
St John river. near the border n
Aroostook county, writes under date
Of Aug. as follows:
"All is lovely up here. No fires, but
1t is dry. Lots Of smoke from Que
bee and some place southeast Of here
I think down the State Big thunder
and rain storm yesterday. Wet things
down fine"
1t Is probable that the smoke the
warden thought was coming from a
fire in Maine was merely cloud Of
the Quebec smoke that had been
blown about on it's own track or path
because no fires have existed in Maine
to cause any such conditions. 1t goes
to show how easily it is to be mis-
taken in the magnificent distances of
the forests Of Maine. For instance, a
Watchman was recently notified by the
department that a fire had been re-
ported in his district by a watchman
In smother district. and he was asked
why he had not reported it, His re-
ply was brief and to the point. II
didn't report fire at such and such
place, because no fire there Mr.. Blank
was mistaken"
