HARVEY D. EATON
SHIPS A PRIZE
ANIMAL SOUTH

A full-bred Hereford bull from the
Eaton farm at Cornville. which was
being shipped by express to r. D. Nc
Fadon of Alexandria. Va, attracted a
great deal Of attention at the Maine
Central station Tuesday afternoon.
The bull was one that was bred at the
farm and was year and three months
old, weighing about 1900 pounds. Har
vey d. Eaton, who is the proprietor OF
the farm, was on hand at the station
to see that the prize animal got trans
ferred from the Skowhegan to the
west bound train, all right. The ami
NAL was in large crate in which
there was plenty of room for it to lay
down and to move about quite bit,
full directions for feeding were at
tached to the crate and the grain and
hay for the animals use while in
transport were also sent along with
it. This is the first f,lll-bred bull ever
shipped from New England to the
South for breeding purposes and nat
urally Mr. Eaton is rather proud Of
the fact that when one Of the large
breeders there wanted the best to be
found he came to farm up in Maine
to get it. 1t is understood that the price
paid was a very long one.

DOUBLE TRACKS ~"''o'
FAR AS CLINTON

Men in a position to know say that
in connection with the enlarging OF
the yards in this city and building the
new bridge.at Fairfield the Maine Cen
trail is to double track as far as elm
ton anyway. This will mean that al
most all Of the track between this city
and Bangor is double iron and will
greatly facilitate the moving of trains
ever this heavily laden track. The
bridge and the track between this city
and Fairfield will be double and the
extension to Clinton will not be es-
pecially costly as there are, few en-
bankments and hardly a fill to be
made. 1t is generally understood here
that work on the Improvement is to
begin as soon as the frost is out of
the ground and that every effort will
be used to have it in use in the short
est possible time. The people who are
selling their houses to the company.
and a man from Fairfield said that he
knew that the railroad had bought
over $4,000 worth of property in Fair
field this spring, are doing SO with the
understanding that they will be out
before the first day of May.

An enthusiastic meeting was b.,d
Tuesday evening at Library hall Nm.
der the auspices of the Maine Anti

pose Of reorganizing Augusta to wor.
in conjunction with Gardiner and Ha,

health nurse. There had been an AM
gusta Association but the workers
were somewhat discouraged and it haa
been decided to give up the work tenn.
porarily. 1t is probable that the re.
organization will be upon somewhat
new lines.
A. j. Torsleff of Bangor, secretar,
of the Maine Anti-Tuberculoss Asso.
citation, presided at the meeting. In
an interesting talk he told of the
nurses work and outlined plans for \
district organization with local COM
mittees in each community Rev.
S. Philbrook was elected a committee
of one to arrange for another meeting
to be held early next month and at
which Mr.. Torsleff will be present and
give an illustrated lecture. AT that
time an endeavor will be made TO per-
feet the organization. Gardiner has
been organized for the work for sew
eral years and Hallowell was organ
lied for the work at a meeting held
Monday evening.
In his report Mr.. Torsleff spoke Of
the record of the city of Augusta for
six years, 1910 to 1915 inclusive. as
compiled from statistics on file at the
office of the city clerk. He said:
For a city of this size according
to the death rate of the State it is en-
titled to an average of 176 deaths
from tuberculosis annually. As a mat
ter of fact the average for the last
six years is 24.6 or nearly 43 per cent
above the average of the State, This
is exclusive of the number of deaths
reported at the hospitals. Including the
number of deaths from tuberculosis
reported at the hospitals the average
is q deaths from tuberculosis or 81
above the average of the State If We
include the number of deaths from
tuberculosis at Togus in the last six
wears the total is 165 or sc per cent
over the average of the State. Exlu-
sive of those reported at the hospitals
I13 were under the age of 20. IS under
the age of 80 and 81 between 80 and
20. with three over 20. On the basis
of the world standard of 10 infections

TO COUNTRYMEN

London, March 2S.-John Redmond
leader of the Irish Parliamentary party,
in a letter addressed to a prominent Ma

a public meeting to protest against fur.
Their taxation in Ireland. Such action
he says, is characterized as an Irish
constituencies movement by men who
are hostile to the Irish party, men who
are either pro-German or opposed to re-

monstrous doctrine that Ireland should
remain neutral in this war"
Such an agitation, Mr.. Redmond says

first part Of the drill was taken up IN
the usual work. a new feature being the
silent drill whereby all the formations are
gone through by the means of signs, not
a word being spoken. The men are be-
coming especially efficient in this and are
doing some splendid work. This was fol-
lowed by a short lecture and then prac-
tice in map drawing, it being the idea
for the men to make a map of a certain
section Of the city, so that an officer who
was a stranger to the place would be
able to place his men advantageously
from the data shown on the map. The
men are showing themselves very pro-
f'cient in this and are making good pro-
