the marine corps at Boston. Jan. 1S.
1917. While peace has been restored
throughout the greater part Of the

vide plenty Of excitement for the local
boy.
|. The marines in Haiti take especially
keen interest in the development OF
military affairs at home and many Of
them expect to be recalled for service
in the great war. Their experience In
tho turbulent little republic will
doubtless prove Of great value should
they be called upon to go into action
overseas.

Hiram 0. Eaton of
| Brewer Is AnOld-
Time Shipsmith

Hiram o. Eaton Of Brewer. the we'll
known blacksmith, Is perhaps the only
man remaining in Penobscot county
and perhaps in Waldo county too. a. a
neighbor, who knows the art OF prop
erly fashioning the iron parts Of =
vessel. In the days when Mr.. Eaton
was learning his trade Of an iron
worker, this was the part he learned
first and he went into the business at
so early an age that his ability was
open to question at first. until his en-
ployers discovered that he knew how.
Mr.. Eaton was somewhat surprised
on a recent day, when an agent Of the
government dropped into his Main
street smithy at Brewer and asked
him II he knew anything about iron
ing vessels. His reply in Hram's char
acterstic style, left little doubt In the
visitors mind and he replied with evil
dent relief, that he was glad, at last
to find man who really knew that
trade, no being the first he had suc-
ceeded in discovering in this part Of
the state where, a quarter Of century,
ago, there was lot Of shipbuilding.
He intimated that It might be neces-
sary, IL the governments plans Of re-
storing shipbuilding are carried out. to
establish school Of ship ironers. with
Mr.. Eaton to teach the smiths this
phase Of the business, a phase which
has decidedly dropped out Of fashion
since the decadence Of wooden ship
building forced the workers to migrata
to other fields, or seek other forms Of
employment In iron working.
When the Stetsons were turning out
frequent schooners from their yard OPP
posite Oak Hill cemetery, Brewer, Hi
ram Eaton was in charge Of the smithy
and had been following his trade for
several years. When the last vessel
which he fitted was on the stocks. n
fire destroyed his shop and all that
was left 20 him was the great key. In
those days when the size Of the key
often indicated the size Of the protect
i've lock regarded as necessary. -

In a remarkably loose game played
on the ReueI Williams field on We'd
nesday afternoon. the visiting team
from Waterville High school smeared
another defeat onto the tally which
Cony has been collecting this season.
the score being Is to 9, and the visitors
not showing any particular class in
winning, the poor playing Of the local
boys being the real cause OF the loss OF
this game. coupled with the fact that
in the first two innings the visitors
whaled Burke. who has never before
pitched for Cony, for six runs.
Cushing was then put in and the
game frightened up somewhat, although
the Waterville boys managed to get
two more runs. Then Cony made a
game try at a come back, getting nine
runs while Waterville was getting five
to put with the original eight, and II
the game had gone seven or eight more
innings the local boys might have won
out, at that.
The Wateralle pitcher. Merrill, did
not have SO much. Nearly all Of the
Cony boys welted the ball whenever
it came across, but the old Jinx was

c. II. Gardner, president of the Farm
ers' Union Of Maine, said that two things
to be. considered In the farm problem were
the insuring Of fair price for the product

favored but they would like to be assured
a market in the fall. He did not think

Henry F. Merrill of Portland said that
such a price was an outrage. Il. X.

Horace C. bay of Auburn said that

Just before the close of the morn

that he wished to leave with those
present three suggestions that they
might work out at the afternoon ses-

One OF these suggestions was the
proposed mobilization Of men OF Sc

Of going to the seashore or the noun

voluntary service to be available for
small gardens, to give one or TWO

thirdly, to see what way the women
