The appointment Of F. J. McArdle OF

for the Public Utilities Commission will
necessitate some changes in the de.

hitherto had charge of the rates and

divide his time between that branch OF

The growth of the work Of the de-
partment as exemplified by the recent
hearing on pulp wood tariffs, extending
over four days, has shown the need in

attention not only to the collection and

also Of an expert rate maker, which
Mr.. McArdle is understood to be. The

these buyers OF Maine seed can be
brought in personal touch with the
producer here in Maine the better the
understanding among our farmers of
what is needed south in the way of
pure seed.
The potato growers of Central and
Southern Maine were hard hit by the
wet season of 1915, many not raising
potatoes enough for their own seed.
All these should attend this meeting
and get in touch with these having
certified seed for sale and purchase
now before all good seed stock is sold
and shipped out Of the state
The fruit growers of the State are
urged to attend the fruit growers
meeting meeting on Friday, March "a,
where all important questions regard
ing fruit growing are to be touched
upon and discussed. The last two or
three years have been somewhat dis
couraging to the farmers raising fruit
and the causes and remedies for these
conditions are to be openly discussed
at this meeting. Everyone interested
should make up his mind to hear Mr..
Woodwork Of Nova Scotia, who has
had a large amount of practical expert
ence in fruit growing and has been en-
ployed by the state of Massachusetts
during the past year to help the farm
ers of that state in the packing and
grading of their fruit.
Mr.. Emerson on the subject Of mar
kets has also had a large amount of
experience in his particular line and
is at the present time connected with
the bureau of Foods and Markets in
New York City. In his discussion he
will explain the system of marketing
by auctions,-a system that is working
out remarkably we'll in New York state
and bids fair to relieve the present diff
ficulty in marketing as well as the in
creased rates of the middleman.

rifle with 90 calibre cartridge and the
gun went off before he had taken the
proper aim. Although not seriously
wounded Private Hume waS taken to the
home and DR.. John L. Murphy dressed
the wound. This is the first accident of
the kind to happen at the mory among
