According to officials of the COM

the plan of the company 10 so per-
feet the new blades that stop can
be made, after landing within 100
feet.
The design of the new blades was
made at McCook field while the
mechanical details were worked out
in Pittsburg.
The blades, which are made of
steel tubing of tapering section and
thickness. without welding. except to
close the extreme tip, tit over the two
arms Of the hub. They are held i'm

Volunteer Fire Company
Incorporates at So. Bristol

Maine has had some peculiar OBJ
Iects and purposes named in COM
panles incorporating under its laws,
but it remains for the people of
South Bristol to incorporate a COM
pany Of fire fighters. The incor-
poratofs are evidently very much in
earnest and propose to handle future
fires-either a bonfire or a con-
fagration---in a businesslike manner.
otherwise, why incorporate? The

wish that we might all be inspired
by the character and service OF Mr..
Shaw.
The school was fortunate in hav-
ing as speaker at the exercises.
President Roberts of Colby college.
The president expressed his pleasure
at being privileged to say q few
words about the important years that
lie just beyond. His remarks were
addressed chiefly to the members Of
the senior class but he reminded the
trustees who sat at the rear of the
platform that they might profit by
his address also. He spoke on what
is fundamentally necessary for sue
cess. He said in part: "You must
have solid foundation Of character.
an orator be a good man his hear
ers add to his words his character.
If he be bad man his hearers sub
tract his character from his words
and there is nothing left. Emerson
had said What you are speaks so
loud that I cannot hear what you
say"
The most important element OF
your preparation for college is char.
acter. The boy who carries to col.
lege with him moral purpose will
succeed where the boy with good
equipment and no moral character
will fail. Character is fundamental,
absolutely essential.
1t takes a great deal more train
ing to face the world now than ever
before. You will inevitably find
yourself in competition with others
better trained than yourself. II you
plan to be a farmer it is Just as es-
sential that you have a college edu-
cation. The problem Of the farm de-
mands training intelligence.
We should stop more often and
think Of the seriousness Of life. Life
is longer: it Is broader; 1t is deeper
than it used to be. If we stopped
more often to think we would take
more time in preparation.
President Roberts urged the mem
bers of the class to go to college. He
told them that it would help them to
better living. 1t would help them
to get more out of life, but more i'm
portant than either Of these it would
help them to put more into life,--to
serve humanity better.
The trustees held their annual
meeting as usual after dinner but

STATEMENT BY
SWEET CORN
GROWERS Elk. COM.

Auburn, Me-, June 15.--The eAecu-
tive committee of the Maine Sweet
Corn Growers Association met Tues
day afternoon at the rooms of the Au-
burn Chamber of Commerce. II. G..
Ruzzell Of Fryeburg. George r. Mer-
rill Of Gray. Charles F. Trip of Can
ton Point and Charles H. Crawford of
Augusta being present. Several mat
tiers of interest to the association
were discussed but the principal item
of business was the preparation of a
statement on the sweet corn situation
and the controversy between the grow
ers and the packers. The following
was issued by the executive commit
tee:
In viewing the aftermath Of the
controversy over the sweet corn in
dustry Of Maine, it would be we'll for
the growers and public to view some
Of the results which show and will be
very much regretted that the outcome
of the situation has caused the practi-
cal standstill of the industry. All
this could have been avoided had the
packers been willing to arbitrate the
matter with the executive committee
of the Growers Association, but the
plain fact was that they thought by
taking their contract To individual
farmers they could dictate their price
in the old-fashioned way and at the
same time, smash the Growers Asso-
citation. The mistake is theirs and
upon the packer does the blow fall
most heavily. The old fashioned
farmer is practically of the past. The
organized farmer is here with educa-
ton experience, State aid and National
endorsement.
Mr. Baxters article in the public
press has been most vigorously an
swered by the farmers themselves.
and while the farmers at once resent
ed it as an attack upon them, the pub
lie generally probably took II as an
attack on the secretary. Mr.. Crawford.
Mr.. Crawford 10 the paid secretary
while he has shown great interest and
ability in working for the association,
We wish to state that there has been
no definite action taken by him, no
meeting called, no articles given to
the press. except by orders or approval
by the State Executive Committee.
And this committee is directed and
controlled by the president and vice
president of each county association:

ecuting the orders of 1890. farmers.
Mr.. Baxter says Mr.. Crawford is
leading the farmers in unfamiliar
paths. He means the farmers are
going into unfamiliar paths. We
fear that the packers will real
ice this in 1899 ~ their regret.
The farmers now realize as never be-
fore the amount Of effort, time en-
ergy and money he was putting into
his sweet corn business In order. a.

spending money in the fall" 1t Is
surprising how readily the farmer is
adapting himself to other lines, and

learn that instead Of the farmers get

business back. as Mr.. Baxter says,
the packers will have to make
attractive concessions In order to
find the farmer who formerly
took their fixed prices which gave
them their fat returns. Mr.. Raxter's

not appeal to the experienced farmer.
The challenge for any packer to give
his sworn average number of pounds

never been accepted.

welfare and the interest of our state:

Improved Dairy Conditions

Brooks Brown, dairy inspector for
the Maine Department of Agriculture,
says that the diaries of the State are
in better condition at the present
time than he has ever seen. Mr..
Brown thinks that the ability of the
milk producer to obtain enough COM
petent help is a leading factor in this
condition, giving the producer the
opportunity to fix up his dairy, build
new buildings or milk rooms, new
ice storage places. put in tight floors
and make other improvements, that
have necessarily been neglected or
not done on account of inability 20
get more than just enough help 20
run the place.
Inspector Brown says he has found
this epidemic" of cleaning up ard
improving the plans all over the
State, showing that the spirit and
action is general, much to the salts
faction of the department, the people
and the milk producers themselves.

other serious troubles, local and internal, are

Countless people find that teeth brushed

Now we daily fight it
Dental science, after long research, has
found ways to fight that film Able authori-
ties have proved their efficiency. Now lead
ing dentists everywhere advise their daily
use.
These methods are combined in modern
dentifrice called Pepsodent Millions now
employ it, largely by dental advice. The
use is fast spreading the world over among
those who know.
That is the tooth paste we ask you to try.
Watch its effects on the film. See how your
