OBITUARY.,
HERBERT F. EMERY.

The many friends and acquaint-
ances of Herbert F. Emery regret
the announcement of his death,
which occurred at Bar Harbor
December IS, after an illness of sew
eral months.
Mr.. Emery was born sixty-eight
years ago in that part of the town
of Eden known as the Emery dis
trlct He was the oldest child of
Joel and Abby Qater Mrs. William
Campbell of Ellsworth Emery. His
grandfather, also Joel Emery, was
among the earlier settlers of the
town, owning at one time a tract of
land in the vicinity of the Emery
district containing 1900 acres,
which later was divided into sew
eral farms and held by different
members of the Emery family.
Herbert's father died when he
was but twelve years of age, leaving
to him the greater part of the
responsibility of the head of the
family. This responsibility he as
sumed, and remained on the old
homestead many years, carrying on
dairy and market gardening bust
ness, with Bar Harbor as a market
running milk team there daily for
many years.
MI. Emery had considerable
prominence in town affairs, was a
noted road-builder, and served the
town as road commissioner at diff.
ferent times. Some of the fine
roads on the island are a monument
to his faithful work. For the last
six years he had run a small grocery
| store at Bar Harbor.
Mr.. Emery's life was not fret
from obstacles, but he met them al
cheerfully, and with courage tina
deserves credit. In 1873 he mar
mied Nancy NJ. Peach, and to then

Helping the Farmer.

Carrying back to the farm for
practical use the result Of the gov
eminent research activities is re-
ceiving unprecedented support, ac-
cording to report of the Secretary of
Agriculture just made public. Dur
ing the past fiscal year, the report
states, approximately $16,5OO,OOO
was available for this work from
federal, state and community
sources, of which $5,900,O0O was
contributed by county government
and farm organizations. Two thous-
and four hundred and twenty five
persons engaged in county agent
work in approximately 1000 of the
1850 counties having enough agri-
culture to employ an agent. The
total number of the counties in the
United States is about 5000.
Maine is we'll up toward the head
IN this work. Arthur l.. Deering
Of Orono, State leader of county
agents, at the meeting of the State
grange in Portland last week gave
some interesting figures as to what
was being done in this State. Every
county in Maine has county agent,
and extension work has been con-
Quoted in S18 communities. The
county agents have to their credit
1850 demonstrations, clubs, or
other work. There have been 1,494
meetings in the past year, attended

The Hancock-Sullivan Bridge.

hancock, Dec IL, 1874.
To the Editor of The American:
l have carefully read the article
relative to the Sullivan Hancock
bridge, and in the statement that
the law passed by the last legis-
lature was given wide publicity,
would like to know how the notice
to the public was given, when and
how worded. l will venture to say
not ten persons in the town of Han
cock, and very few in the county,
knew that such law was even con-
templated, or that the act was
passed, before the time for refer
endum petition had expired The
few who did know about it were
told the bridge would not cost over
100000.
When they learned of the en-
gineer's recent estimate of $3.50, 900,
and also learned that the five towns
would have to pay 70 per cent of
the up-keep, the county paying 80
per cent, when rs per cent of the
travel would be by out-of-the
county people and so per cent. of
these non-residents of the State,
they began to wake up and realize
what burden $4,000 to $4,000
on each town in the district and
100000 on the county, would be,
and mostly for the use of others.
| fail to see how it will cost the
county less by issuing long term
bonds. The debt will be there and
have to be paid, together with as
much more in interest. Also, I
cannot understand how large
section of the county is to be much
benefited, either financially or other
wise, by bridge.
| would like to see a bridge. 1t
would be convenience, but not
necessity sufficient to warrant the
expenditure of 100000 by the
county and $4,000 by the five small
towns. Let's drop the bridge
district scheme and build the bridge
with Federal-State funds, and let
the burden be borne by those who
will use it,

The progressive farmers throughout
the State are to-day aligned with the
Farm Bureau. The farmer who is
not, either is not alive to his OPP
portunities, or is unwilling to con-
tribute his mite and give his sup
port to an organization that is do
ing so much to advance his inter-
ests and his profits.

Speaking at the meeting of the
Maine club in New York last Thurs
day night, Charles M. Schwab, one
OF the giants of the steel industry,
told in terse sentences why the
wheels of industry Jagged in this
country. Speaking of the enormous
growth of steel and other industries
before the war, he said: Because
there was a great reward for
personal initiative men went abroad
building up industry and making
money, which they would put back
into industry again. Those earn
ings rolled up like a great snow
ball. The men who had begun to
make money, made more money.
But this far-seeing government said
that money thus made did not be-
long to the man who made it, but
TO the government, and must be
paid back in taxes. No government
can ever succeed under that system
No industry can advance far and NO
man can go forward under those
conditions. Speaking for myself, ]
could triple my own income simply
by retiring from all my activities in
industry and investing my money ir
non-taxable securities.

Aches and Pains
OF Rheumatism
Sometimes They Are Unbearable.


There are weather conditions
that make rheumatism worse,
They are not the same in the cases
OF all persons. Some rheumatics
suffer more in dry, warm weather
than in moist, cold weather, but
all suffer more or less all the
time.
DThe cause of rheumatism is an
excess of uric acid in the blood,
affecting the muscles and joints,
causing aches and pains. Hence
the blood must have attention for
permanent results in the treat
ment Of this disease. .
Hoods Sarsaparilla has given
entire satisfaction in thousands
Of cases. Do not fail to try it.

untangling the red tape in the gov
ernmental departments and the per-
lection of budget system and sensi-
BILE methods in handling routine
business. The story is to the effect
that a piece of furniture in the office
of a district attorney in the middle
West needed repairs. The attorney
notified the custodian of the local
government building in which he
was housed. The custodian, in turn,
notified the Treasury Department.
The word finally reached the super
vising architect in Washington,
who notified the custodian to adj
vertise for bids for the work 1t
cost $3.50 for the advertisements
The bids were forwarded to Wash
fngtOn, where they were thumbed
and initiated and passed around and
finally approved, and the work or
dered done. 1t was. 1t cost 1894.

If one were asked to believe that
there is a place in all this wide
world where Santa Claus is un-
Known, his thought would turn to
the wilds of darkest Africa or some
ether outlandish country. But Rev.
g. Mccoy Franklin, a North Caro-
lnian, tells us we need not go out
eide our own United States-that
fmong the mountains of North
Carolina there are many children
who have never heard of Christmas
or of Santa Claus. Some of the
parents" he says, have heard
about Christmas, but they do not
mention it to their children. 1t
would interfere with farm work. !"
And these people are Americans
Americans of the old stock, descend
ants of men who fought in the
Revolution. Think of it! Children
with no Santa Claus!
