New York, May 11.-The difference between a team being quick to take advantage of opponents mistakes and putting forth a spirited game, and team playing listlessly and find no mistakes of the other side to take ad- vantage of, was clearly set before the spectators at the Polo Grounds yes terday.

 Another lefthander was sent against the Tanks. This time it was Russell and he did tight, high class work against them. Much of their supine- ness was because they could do little with him. They were his meat. His i mixture of curve ball and fast ball and slow ball, all nicely controlled scarcely allowed the Tanks to get go- ing. The score:

Overlooked Bets.

T had a chance,' a fellow said day or two ago, ito buy Bethlehem Steel early in 1915; but I didnt.'
 Which is nothing. We had chance early in April before the season opened to bet that Cleveland would win eight straight games from Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis, and be leading the league by the end ot the first month. But we never thought about it. Which is just as well. For if we had offered to make the wager the authorities would probably have shot US then and there before we became more violent.
 As show the "Phillies of 1915' had nothing on the "Fohlies of 1916.' Nothing at all.
 But, gentlemen, the hour is late and there are other speakers" So old Franklin Puissant Adams con- cluded one of his verses. If he ever tries to recite this line in Cleveland, Ohio, he will very likely be lynched.

AS the time draws near. the big
Baby meeting at the Grange hall Sat
urday afternoon and evening, March
IS, with q basket lunch and hot cof-
fee in between meetings, is causing a
great deal of interest and talk and
discussion. One fact of particular sig
nificance is result of an examination
of the books at the town clerks office.
1t shows that last year 81 babies We're
born in the town of Fairfield and out
of that number 16 died. The average
death rate in the United States last
year was 13 deaths out of every 100 ba-
bies born and one-half of those We're
deemed needless deaths if proper care
had been given. In our town, then, the
average. is about II out of every 100
1t Is high time we got busy and awoke-
to our ignorance on the subject For
the meeting Saturday, every mother
can bring her baby and competent
young ladies have volunteered to act
as nurse girls in an adjoining warm
room while the mothers attend the
meeting. Milk, cookies and graham
crackers will be ready for those old
enough to need them.

and George S. Hobbs. second vic. 2resi-
dent of the Maine Central Railroad
The meeting was called to or1e-' at 1.9O
by President Whitcomb and .he first
speaker of the afternoon was Hon. Har-
Lvey D. Eaton Of Waterville, repr asenting
the Central Maine Fair Mr.. Eaton went
over the relations of the farmers Of the
State to the railroad and sketched the
history Of the fairs and Of their value to
the people and especially to the livesto n
interests Of the State. He paid especial
attention to the statement tnat the fairs
gave the farmers a chance to get togeth-
er and compare notes to see why one
mans stock was better than the others
and in general that it was an educational
feature that resulted in larger and bet
ter farms and on more business for the
road. and he argued that the road ,ould
for that reason we'll afford to haul the
livestock free to the fairs for the value
1t would be to them in indirect returns
He also gave it as his opinion that lies.
the road did SO the most of the exhibit
ors would be unable to come as none IT
the fairs would be able to pay suncient
premiums to cover the most of transpor-
tation. He was followed by number Of
the representatives of other fairs and
they all told the same story-that in their
opinion il the proposed rates were put
into effect by the railroad it would mean
the ruin Of their fair. -. c. Morse Of
Liberty, representing the Maine State
Fair at Lewiston, went into details to
some extent and made a very convincing
argument for the retaining Of the pres
ent arrangement.
Commissioner W. F. Guptill made
Daily Kennebec journal., 1916-03-16

long speech in which he declared that
he was thoroughly in favor of the
farming interests and that in his opin-
ion it was necessary for the Maine
Central to continue to haul the ex-
hibits free if the fairs were to con-
tinue, as they were not making any
| money now and if they had a large
proportion of the interest taken away
by lack Of livestock exhibits the game
receipt would fall SO that they would
be unable to keep going and large
part Of what they We're founded for
would be gone
Mr.. Cummings of South Paris made
one of the speech hits of the afternoon.
lie began by asking Mr.. Hobbs what
the labor cost per mile was for running
the Eoad and how it compared with
several years ago. Mr.. Hobbs being un-
able to reply he did SO for him and
told him it was much less and that
the earning power per mile of the
Maine Central was much more now
than it was few years ago. He then
told of the constant Increase of freight
rates and of how stuff could be brought
from Chicago to Portland cheaper than
it could be brought from Caribou to
Portland. He also told of how the road
had increased the rate in apples which
he sells a great many of, until now 1t
costs nearly three times as much to
send a barrel Of apples from his place
TO Boston as it did five years ago. he
said that the Maine Central would OF
fer a cup for an apple exhibit at some
fair and would then increase the rates
on apples Is per cent.
Following some further discussion
Mr.. Hobbs announced that he would
grant the request for continuance of
the free transportation if the meet
ing would put it in writing ana the
folio wing resolution as then present
ed by Hon. Harvey D. Eaton and unan-
:mously passed. !.
"Resolved. That il is the sense OF
this meeting that tie Maine Centrai
Railroad be earnestly requested 10

stock for exhibition as it has done IN

Maine Central Railroad that ne was

another year That tie agricultural So
c;eties in Maine deemed this a most
vita, question is understood when the
representatives of all the larger 1alrs
in Maine should travel the distance
necessary to be present at this meet

Dear Readers:
Before using "Anuric Tablets" I had
such a terrible backache that I could
hardly do my housework. but after
taking one box I could do my work
with comfort. l take pleasure in rec
both "Anuric" and "Fav-
orite Prescription" as they have done
wonders for me. 1 would advise others
to try them because 1 know they will
find great relief. You all have un-
doubtedly heard of the famous DR..
Pierce and his well-known medicines.
His late discovery, "Anuric," is one
that has been successfully used by
the physicians and Specialists at DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, in Buffalo, N. Y, for back
ache and kidney complaint. 1t is good
for diseases arising from disorders OF
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism. Inflammation
of bladder. scalding urine and urinary
troubles. Mrs. s. M. Simons.
