Names Exhibits at the
Springfield. Mass. Fair

Major z. E. Philbrook of Portland,
deputy commissioner of agriculture
and general manager of the State of
Maine exhibit at the Eastern States
Exposition at Springfield Mass. is
very enthusiastic over the success of
the show" and particularly of the
stir created by the Maine exhibit,
which is admitted by all to have been
the best thing there in that line.
Maine and Rhode Island sent their
exhibits there to show the visitors
what their states could and did pro-
ducc of certain farm articles, such as
corn, potatoes, grains, apples, honey,
ctc., the products of the canneries
ana packing houses and the splendid
things pnt up by their boys and girls

Mainc exhibits remained in their al

various things were taken, but the

purposes and they accomplished their
object, for more people visited the
Maine space than any other.

1.-THE Governor was loud in his
praise Of what the Agricultural De-
partment was accomplishing for the
State through this and similar ex-
hibitions, admitting that the depart
ment's value, while known to him
was now by him much better ap-
preciated.
1T would have done you good to
have seen the display Of preserves,
etc, put up by our Maine boys and
girls and shown by their clubs, be-
tween 700 and 500 jars. It was al
most next to impossible to keep the
people from taking them by force. so
tempting and appetizing did they
look. And at the close of the week.

finest hotels in the city and wanted

and when the hotel man had left he
had bought all he could get and or
| dered 2400 jars to be put up and sent
to him. The jars he succeeded in Sc
curing were placed on a rack just
outside the dining room door in his
/ hotel. with a placard to the effect
that These goods were put up by
Maine boys and girls and are the
kind of goods served by this house
Pretty good word for our Maine boys
and girls, Ell? And, by the way, after
he had succeeded in placing his order
for 24o0 jars. he said: If you had 10,-
600 jars Of such preserves. I'd take
gerry jar"
Major Philbrook said it was a tired
bunch of men when the exhibition
closed and every one was glad to
start for home, for they had been
/ through a strenuous time. 1t took
time and hard work to prepare the
exhibits, it was one endless being
on the job" when the Exposition was
opened to the people, for the people
showed no mercy on those in charge
of the Maine department-they sim
ply had to be shown and told, hour
after hour and time after time about
! this and that and then repeat. They
were seeing real Maine goods and
products and they wanted to know
all about them. Therefore. they were
told and shown to their hearts con-
tent and to the absolute exhaustion
of the entire staff
The major said the attendance fell
about 1000 behind last year for the
entire week, one rainy day butting in
on an otherwise perfect week. But
he added that the Exposition had
rain insurance and would lose moth
ing on account of the rain. AS it
happened. just one 1-10O0th of an inch
of rain fell above the amount required
to get the insurance and the money
was forthcoming.
The major said that one of the most
pleasant days of the week for him
was when he was called into service
and had the pleasure of showing Cen
eral Edwards about the grounds and
buildings. He said the general en-
joyed every part of the big show and
insisted on seeing it ALL

Alabama SeWanee Battle
 This Year May Be the Last

University October I5.-(speclal) When the Crimson Tide and the se- wsnee Tiger meet at Fleetwood next Saturday 1t will perhaps be their last meeting for many years This will make the game one of unusual inter- est and will bring a new element of competition into the conflict.
 Alabama enters the new southern conference In January, and, as yet, Sewanee has not slgnified any inten- tion of Joining Should Sewanee re- fuse to join, and should she insist on playing her freshmen in future foot ball games, it would be necessary for Alabama to leave her off her sched- nIe, as the all-important rule of the conference Is to prohibit the playing of freshmen or first-year men on athletic teams of Its members.
 This rule prohibits It's members rom playing other teams who con unue this practice. Even if a college belonging to the conference were given permission to play such a team, that college would have to maintain two teams, one without freshmen and one with freshmen sprinkled in with the older men, a proposition that few, If any. southern colleges could solve.
