SOMETHING DOING

(From TGppahdnn0ck DemOcrat)
Someone has reflectively observed
that instead of an anti-saloon league
being formed in Essex, he would sug.
gest as being more appropriate an
anti-"jug" league.
"The time has come" the Walrus
said, "to talk of many things" This
was verify true of Courtday Much
Of politics, great deal of whisky, a
little of fishing and "wee bit" (?)
of fall hats found its way toour ears.
But this was by no means all.

NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN.
Close Of the Teachers Convention at
Bangor.

Bangor Me. oct. 31.-The closing
session of the Maine Association of
College and Preparatory Schools was
ed ware as follows: President. George
Emory Fellows. University of Maine;
vice president. +. w. Johnson of
Waterville; secretary and treasurer
J. William Black of Waterville.
The principal discussion was on the
subject whether or not botany should
be placed on the same plane as physics
and chemistry as a requirement for adj
mission TO colleges. A commission was
appointed to draft a course in botany
which would be counted in admission.
An important incident of the bust
ness session OF the Maine Teachers
Assassination was tie Introduction Of
q motion by Supt. Smith of Auburn.
asking fo' a committee to investigate
the question of teachers salaries in
Maine. This committee is to secure
statistics relative to salaries paid in
AL Maine towns and cities with similar
statistics OF towns of. similar resources
outside of Maine. The committee is
empowered to conduct Il campaign OF
publicitY/Nvith IL view to setting before
the people of the State the exact con.
ditions and to ask legislative aid to its
plans.
In introducing the motion. Mr. Smith
said:
There may be those who will say
that the American people are now ex-
pending a vast sum Of money for
their schools and can afford 20 ray no
more. But let lis see. last year. the
United States spent for educational
purposes $215.000. 900, indeed Il vas,
sum of money. Yet in that same II
months our people found that they
could afford for alcoholic drinks the
sum of s1.2O0.00O. 900. or about five
times the educational fund. and BY
strict economy they We're able to
squeeze out three times that fund. or
SI50.O00,00O for tobacco Until some
of these figures are reversed let IN
not have too much to say about edu-
cational eXtravagances.
Referring to the salary question in
Maine. he continued: I'm a late repor.
of the educational department of this
state we find that Maine is paying her
women teachers an average weekly salary
OF 5000. and that there is an averag e
school year of 2S1k weeks. making an ay
erage yearly salary of about S197. Deduct
from this amount S57 for the oSs weeks
at low rate of 81 and there remains a
net salary Of $40. Out of these $40 the

PRICE GOES UP.
Advance Of TWO Cents Per Gallon IN
Milk at Bangor.

Bangor Me. oct 31.-At IL meeting of
tho mi,luen If EanCor and it's vicinity
held at City hall, Saturday noon. 1t was
voted 70 increase. the price from five
to six CENTS y quart and from Is to
IS cents a gallon. This action has been
under consideration for several weeks
nd numerous meetings nave been held
for the discussion OF the question but
nothing definite WAS done until Satur-
day.
The milkmen say that the advance is
necessary in order to prevent them
from actual loss and they think that
Bangor has no cause for complaint as
she has for several years been getting
her milk cheaper than any town in the
state.
This isn't an increase just for the
sake of making more money" said a
milkman to IL Commercial reporter
but it was absolutely necessary un-
less we are t. do business at Il loss.
The price OF grain IS higher now than
I've ever known it and not only that
hut We have to pay three times the
wages for competent men than former
ly.
Then added to the advance of fOd-
der and labor i the expense of fur
nishing milk in glass bottles instead of
cans. Everybody recognizes what an
Improvement bottles are over the cans
but not many consider the additional
cost to the mikman. We furnish tn
bottles and whenever one gets broken
we lose u cents and naturally. during
the seasons of rough roads, there is no
small per cent Of 5reakage.
"The question Of raising the price OF
milk has been thoroughly discussed and
the action Saturday was unanimous"
