"cHARLEsToWN" is RIGHT.
Name of spenobscot County Town
Spelled Wrong for Many Years.

The residents of the town of Charles
town, Me, the Maine Register, State
maps and other authorities have for
many years been using wrong spell
ing OF the name Of this Penobseot
county town. Charleston being the
form tl1at they have employed. This
fact was first brought to light Thurs
day forenoon at the office of the Sec
rotary of State when a man who is
interested in historical research visit
ed the office and had a copy of the
original~ac hunted out for him. This
original act reads as follows:

name of Charlestown.
The act is Chapter GA of the Private
and Special laws of 1927 and was
passed TO be enacted Feb. % and re-

though that form of spelling has
been in common use for many years
and how it came TO be generally ac-
copied is not known.
In the case of corporations using the
name of the town perusal of the rec
ords shows sometimes one spelling and
sometimes another obtaining. In 1887
the records show incorporated Charles
ton Academy and Charleston Steam
Mill Co. while in 1853 the Charlestown
Steam Mill Co. was organized and IN
1874 the Charleston Cheese Factory.

Next Meeting of Governor and Council
Friday, June 10 at 10 A. M.

The office of the secretary OF State
is a very busy place these days. The
preparation of the corporation lists
for the franchise taxes and the con-
tinually increasing automobile regis
tration take up much of the time now
and soon the Public Laws will be re-
ceived from the bindery and will be
mailed out from this department. The
mails of Wednesday and up to noon
Thursday brought 1000 corporation re-
turns. These returns are due now and
the secretary is very anxious that all
the corporations shall make their re-
turns promptly as it will aid very
much the work of the office.
Secretary OF State Davis is always
to be found at the State department
these days and his especial work is
by no means delegated to anyone else
except in the cases of his absence from
office which rarely occur. One item OF
the work falling TO the secretary dur
ing each month is the aftixine of his
signature between 1900 and 1000 times
to various public documents, commits
sions, registrations and certifications.
Secretary Davis is a stickler for the
actual use of his signature and posi-
lively objects TO the use Of rubber
facsimile of the same when 1t can be
avoided.
The May returns of the secretary
of States office show the following
business transacted: New corpora

SITUATION SERIOUS.
Increasing Area Of Coast Territory
Infested with Gypsy Moth.

THE fact that twice as much ter
ritory in this State is infested with
gypsy moths as last year makes the
situation more serious than it has
ever been before, although people need
not worry about any actual devasta-
ton of forest and fruit trees taking
place this season. said A. o. Pike
of Portland. field agent of the State
department of agriculture in charge OF

versation with Journal reporter.
Had the work not been done that has
been done this year and last year
large area of forest in the southern
section of the State would undouDted-
ly have been devastated.
Forty eight towns are now infested
with the gypsy moth while year ago

Thin people are simply suffering from
want Of nourishment
If you are thin. ii is because the food
you eat is not assimilated and passes
through the system without building up
the flesh and tissue as ii should
You can readily get plump and rosy by
using Samose, a tissue forming food
which when taken with the meals i'm
mediately becomes a flesh building and
life giving element in the blood
Use Samose for a few days and in
crease of life. vgor and weight is felt
and you will notice yourself getting
plump and rosy
Bowditch. Webster & Co. are introduce
ing Samose to their customers and re-
commends II highly, They give the best
proof of their belief that Samose will do
all that is claimed for it by offering to
refund the money if it fails to increase

eloDes with the girl during the Indian
fathers absence, and finally finding
her hindrance TO his occupation, de-
serUs her. and. after severe exposures,
she wanders through the wild ravines
looking for her old cabin home. Mean
while her fathers sorrow knows no
bounds and after fruitless searching
for her he returns home, and as he
sits by the doorway he sees her crawl
ing on the ground towards him too
weary, too sad to speak. She simply
points TO the direction from whence
she came and expires in her fathers
arms Then all of the ancestral blood
is stirred, and he starts on the long
journey of vengeance He finds the
recreant lover, and, taking him una

His make up, enunciation, gestures and
dialect are entirely in keeping with
the portrayal, and that Mr.. Barker will
oe a permanent fixture with the stock

Miss Montgomery, the popular lead
ing lady, is also increasing her many
admirers. She is entirely at home in
the difficult role of Trilby, and at no
time does she lose an insight of the
