NIELSEN FURNITURE GO. A
DISTINCT ORGANIZATION

In the change Of ownership Of the
Vincent furniture store there seems
to have gone out an impression that
1t means a consolidation OF the furni-
ture business with the old Nielsen
Furniture Co. However. such Ii not
the case. The old Nielsen Furniture
Co. is composed Of J. c. Nielsen. his
daughters and sonin-law, J. A. Hen
dricks. the present manager. This
company had nothing TO do With the
purchase of the Vincent furniture
store.
The Nielsen Furniture Co. will
continue in business at the old stand
and will endeavor to serve its patrons
with the same courtesy ~ IL has IN
the past.

Spray fruit trees with bordeaux.

with arsenate Of lead. one pound to
ten gallons Of water. Spray for for
est tent caterpillars with arsenate of

If woolly aphis is found on under

bination on the red spider that may
be found on PROSTATE jumpers, yew
and box. The sycamore blight may
be found in the shape of a white
woolly mass on the under side of
leaves causing them to curl and wilt.
Get the bordeaux mixture in proper
tons of one pound to eight gallons Of

is to drive carpet tacks part way into

to Mr.. Embree ana his words will be
pleasing to friends in our State.
Among other things he writes:
mo man 10 better or more favor.
ably known to the lodges Of our Jur-
isdiction. and the fact that he Is
again engaged In the work will have
a stimulating influence that will
bring about renewed interest, and
with it a revival Of the old fraternal
sentiment that in the early days
made the 40. U. w. the foremost
fraternal and business force of the
State.
Brother Embree has a long record
as a consistent and loyal worker Of
the Order. He became a member Of
John Endicott Lodge Of Salem, Mas
sachusetts. in 1879, when all New
England was under the supervision
Of the Supreme Lodge Jurisdiction.
I'm turning back to the early days
OF the fraternity we find that Brother
Embree organized nearly 100 Lodges
| In New England, We also find that
his selection Of the material of which
| he builded was the foundation of the
great success we attained later. For
years the greater number Of the
Grand Masters came from the charter
membership Of the lodges Brother
Embree organized"
Mr.. Embree accomplished great
good for the farmers of Maine. 1t is
not our purpose here and now to deal
with the manner Of his disposal as
head Of the Farmers Union of Maine
which he organized. or the selfish in
| terests served, and snake-in-the-
grass politics played against the
farmers in getting rid Of Embree. but
We hope some day to deal with the
game, and then farmers as a class
will better understand some Of the
things that are now vague to them
To our mind the most serious loss te
the farmers Of Maine was engineered
in driving c. E. Embree out of thei,
service and the getting rid Of his
common sense and honesty in deal
ing with their problems.
A complete history Of the chican-
cry. regardless Of the blisters that
certain details would raise. may be
published in the not far future. Just
now it is sufiicient to congratulate
Connecticut in its gain and pity
Maine in the loss of a man that was
unappreciated until too late.
