FARM BUREsU NOTES

At the recent community field day
of the Monmouth Farm Bureau, at
Highmoor Farm. U. S. Emery, the
community chairman, made the sug-
Eestion that a grove of trees and
shrubs might be planted at some con-
venient place on the farm in which,
later, all farm orga nizations in Maine
could hold field days, picnics, and
other outdoor activities. He also sug-
gested that the Monmouth Farm Blu
reau take the matter up with Director
Morse of the Agricultural Experiment
Station. and if the idea met with his
approval. to invite the other agricul-
tural organizations to unite with
them in setting such a grove The
committee appointed to have charge
of this matter is w. E. Reynolds and
L. s. Emery.
Practically every Farm Bureau
community committee in Kennebec
county land in Maine for that mat
teri will hold at least two meetings
this fall to make sure that the work
for the present season is properly
completed, TO make preparations for
the annual meeting and the seed show
and exhibit, to plan for the member
ship campaign in November, and to
discuss community needs and the
kind of extension work which should
be done next year. Some communi-
ties held their meetings as early as
August while others delayed them un-
til this month after the poultry culling
campaign was over so that the coun-
ty agent might meet with them. Re-
ports by project leaders at the meet
ings already held show that a very
large percentage of the work adopted
by the members at the community
planning meetings has been complet-
ed
The Kennebec County Farm Bureau
is extremely fortunate in having va
rious people and organizations who
cooperate with them. Among those
who have shown great willingness to
give their services are the State De-
partment of Health who have loaned

Fairfield Chick
Turned the Joke
onto Gov. Baxter

The car was going right along, not
speeding but. at q sufficient rate to
get there on time and paying strict
attention to its own business--but the
chicken failed to pay such good at
tention to itself or the car and thus
furnished this story.
The scene was the splendid little
burg of Fairfield. The party included
His Excellency.. Governor Percival P.
Baxter; his private secretary. Gilbert
r. Chadbourne: his brother. Senator
Rupert H. Baxter of Bath: Colonel
Albert Greenlaw of his staff and OF
the Public Utilities Commission, and
the chauffeur. The, governor was
seated in front-hence his eyesight
| was good for immediate incidents
and accidents.
The chicken was at the scene both
before and afterward. as will be seen.
Little chicken saw the approaching
car--if it didn't recognize the occu-
pants. With sense of courtesy and
in observance Of the rules Of the road,
| it attempted to get out of the way and
give the car all the road, doing its
best but failing.
The chauffeur saw an uplifted hand
and heard the governor say Pull up"
and the others of the party saw the
governor look over the side and back.
The car stopped and the governor
alighted. The party. following and
| unaware of the governors purpose,
soon caught up with His Excellency,
! finding him rescuing the battered
bod,, ~ i, l;ft1a ch;cLep fropo tho road-
side where it landed after encounter
/ ing a wheel or mudguard of the big
machine. 1t had lived and was near
~ dead.
| II must go back and pay for the
chick" said the governor and with
the little char in his hand he headed
the march to the closely farmhouse.
! A Incorporating lady appeared st
| the door of the house in response to
the knock and the governor said:
Madam, 7 am very sorry. but our
car has killed a chicken. 1 wish to
/ pay you for it,
The lady protested that it was not
worth while and that probably it was
the chickens own fault in being iii
the road. but the governor insisted on
I, paying 50 for the practically dead
chick.
! All stories have to come to an end
and here is the fms of this one. The
governor searched his pockets and
then again for the necessary 81 with
which to carry out his argument
but he didn't have the two dollars.
| in fact. but little more than two cents.
| What to do, how to make good on
his own proposition? Well, the gov
ernor had to turn to his brother. the
senator, and borrow the money, which
he passed. to the lady, amid her smiles.
the grins of the rest Of the party and
his own laughter.
! The story might end right here
but it doesn't. For the senator. with
a chuckle and with increasing en-
| phasis. devoted the next few miles
to reminding his brother that he owed
him two dollars and calling upon the
rest of the party to witness the fact.
And he kept it up until the governor.
in self-defense. borrowed another two
dollars from Colonel Greenlaw and
squared his indebtedness with the
senator toaser.
The story now ends with the re-
mark that the ultimate fate of tho
! chick is unknown beyond what is here

Putting the Steamer
Virginia in Shape for
Next Years Work

The recent announcement of the
purchase of the steamer Virginia by
the Augusta, Gardiner and Boothbay
Steamboat Co. from the Popham
Beach Steamboat Co. with the fur
Their announcement that the steamer
would next year be seen on the Au-
gusta Boothbay Harbor route, brings
that craft into the list of matters of
local interest, SO that the following
from Mondays Bath Times will be
worth while:
Steamer Virginia was transferred
Friday to the Augusta. Gardiner &
Boothbay Steamboat Co, and the
Islesford was transferred Saturday to
Capt. Thomas W. Blaisdell of Five
Islands who will put her on the Bath
and Five Islands route in place Of his
gasoline packet which he has been
operating since early summer.
The Virginia is at the south wharf
Of the kennebec Navigation Co, for
an extensive overhauling by Blaisdell
I.eeman & Company Walter NJ. San

gusta, Gardiner e Boothbay Steam
boat Co. and Henry T. b. Leeman of
Blaisdell, Leeman &, Co, went to New
York Sunday in search Of a new en-
CINE and boiler for the steamer It is
understood that all work on the Vir-
ginia will be done at once in an eff
fort to have it completed before cold
weather.
The Times also states that the big
motor launch Diana which has been
running on the Boothbay- Bath line
since the close of the summer season
on Monday began on the Bath Pop
ham run and will continue until a
suitable boat is found for that route.
The directors of the Popham Beach
Steamboat Co. will meet. probably
this week, to decide whether to pur-
chase or build steamer to replace
the Virginia, which they now find too
large for all-theyear service required
on that route.

GORDY FOR
COMP TROLLER

The nomination Of William S.
Gordy, Jr., of Salisbury, for
State Comptroller, is the bright
and refreshing feature on the
political program this Fall. The
Nominee himself and the manner
Of his nomination fully justify the
confidence that the united
strength Of the party will be mar
shalled behind him. He comes
to the front as the standard
bearer this year, fresh from a
life removed from the atmosphere
of political strife and without the
scars of fractional warfare upon
it. His environment and his
training have been such as to
specially equip him for the Office
to which he now aspires-that of
director of the finances of the
States. AS a Democrat. he is of
the straightest type and one
whose loyalty is not open to ques-
ton. rs
Mr.. Gordy is generally ac-
knowledged to be a thoroughly
progressive and successful bank
er, the soul of honor and integ-
rity, a leader in his profession,
and one who has earned his way
to his present prominence through
the trials of experience. He is
also a practical farmer and inti-
mately in touch WITH conditions
id the agricultural as well as in
the commercial and financial
fields. Withal, he is a most lika-
bic and companionable man, and
citizen whose private life and
service augurs well for a notable
record as a high public official of
the State.
