State of Trade.

Improvement reported in some branches
of business is moderate and not altogether
satisfying, though perhaps it is as great
as expected by most merchants. Retail
trade has not become sufficiently active
to warrant contracts for large quantities
of merchandise in anticipation of further
expansion, and it is plain that in most
departments of trade retailers are stock
ed with goods in ample amount to meet
consumptive demand. High prices con-
tinue to restrict trading in footwear and,
with shoe factories, as a rule, running
part time, the general inquiry for leather
is light. Manufacturers insist that shoes
must be lower in order to stimulate busi-
ness, and that consequently cheaper
leather is necessary. So far, however,
prices of leather are maintained, although
hides and skins have eased off and indi-
cations are that they will further decline.

The New Belfast Fair.

The New Belfast Fair association will
hold their first fair in Belfast Oct. 10th
and 17th. 1t has already made plans for
several new attractions this year. Very
recently it has become a member of the
National Trotting association and three
racing events will be trotted off each
afternoon of the fair, as follows:
First Day, at l p. IN.
No. 1. 2:40 class, trot and pace, purse
S1O0.
No. 2. 222 class pace and 2.25 class
trot, purse S110,
No. 8. Farmers race, trot and pace,
Waldo Co. horses without records, purse
$40.
Second Day, at l p. m.
No. 4. Free for all, trot and pace, purse
s15O.
No. 5. 2.26 pace and 229 trot, purse
S11O.
No 6. minute trot and pace, purse
S1O0.
The grounds of the new association
have already been put in an up-to-date
condition. twenty-five new horse stalls
are ready for occupancy. A new road
has been built across the inside of the
track and has been made smooth and safe
for automobiles and teams, a new
road has also been thrown up on the
south side of the track and the road from
Belmont avenue into the track has been
put in good condition. Special arrange
ments have been made to accommodate
automobiles and also teams. The gener-
al admission this year will be 25 cents for
persons, automobiles and teams, children
under twelve years of age and members
of the G. A. r. admitted free. A new
grandstand is now in the process of erec-
ton.
The ladies of Waldo County do not
want to forget that there is to be fancy
work department this year, but the new
fair management has been and is now
under so much of an expense that it can
not afford to offer any premiums in this
department this year, but it is going to
give general admission ticket for both
days to the first five ladies from each
town in Waldo County making an exhib-
it of fancy articles, and the only condition
is that each exhibitor in this department
shall exhibit at least two articles and
each shall be worth at least one dollar.
This department is under the supervision
of Mrs. j. G. Paul and Mrs. Lily S.
Jones. All exhibitors desiring to take ad-
vantage of this offer should make entries
as soon as possible to Mrs. j. G. Paul, 90
Miller St, Belfast Me. 1t is hoped that
there will be good display in this de-
partment this year for the new man
agement intends next year to make the
fancy work department special feature.
We will give you more particulars in
relation to the fair next week.

Rev. Walter T. Hawthorne of the Bel
fast Congregational church had heart
to heart talk with the young men. He
said it was time when words seemed
useless to him. He regretted that he was
not going with them as their chaplain,
and announced that he was now await
ing orders from the War Department at
Washington to be called as chaplain in
to the country's service. This war is
for principle on the part of the allied ma
tions; for the supremacy Of democracy
over autocracy. God has not forgot and
right will prevail.
One and all wished them God speed and
a safe return.

One objectionable omnission by
the governor was his failure to advise
the legislature, concerning fat" bills
and lean" bills AS he stated dur
ing the campaign, he does not read
any of the bills passed by the leg
stature II they are fat bills he
vetoes them and II they are lean"
bills he approves them. II would have
been no more than fair for him to
have defined fiat" and lean" in
mis- message, 80 the legislators might
conform to his specifications and
make all the bills lean" enough to
get by. His excellency will make a
most serious mistake II he now
changes his methods and considers q
bill on its merits. BY their votes the
people declared that a man who
would veto bills because they were
fat" and approve them because they
were lean" without reading any of
them. was just the kind Of a man
| they wanted for governor, and that
this was the manner IN which they
| desired legislation to be handled. 1t
