1918 Report Of Commission of Aeri
culture

The 18th annual report of the State
commissioner of agriculture made its
appearance in printed form Tuesday
at the State department of agricul-
ture. The report contains Isl pages of
information Of great interest, especial
ly to the farmers of the State This is
the first report of Commissioner J. a.
Roberts, who makes the following
foreword:
In presenting this annual report it
affords me great pleasure to say that
the work of the department has gone
along very pleasantly during the year,
and that harmonious relations have
been maintained with all other agri-
cultural organizations and institutions
throughout the State. The work of the
various bureaus and divisions in the
department has been carried forward
with constantly increasing activity
This work falls into thre general
lines-educational, organization ana
inspection. The work of each OF these
lines have been greatly increased dur
ing the year, due in a large measure
to new legislation. Work is done
through bureaus and divisions as fol-
lows; Dairy Improvement; dairy in
spection; seed and plant Improvement;
horticulture; gypsy and brown-tail
moth work; animal diseases: insti-
tutes; markets; weights and measures;
apple inspection. In addition there is
considerable work Of miscellaneous
character. The department finds an in
creasing percentage of farmers awake
to the necessity of conducting their
operations in accord with scientific
principles and business methods. The
fast increasing attendance at the Col
lege of Agriculture, the establishment
of agricultural courses in many sec
ondary schools, the increasing demand
for demonstration work, the call for
expert speakers beyond our ability to
supply them, all show recognition by
the farmer of the spirit of the age.
The city, too, is coming more and
more to recognize the agricultural pos
sibilities of the State, and to show its
willingness to assist in their develop
ment. Chambers Of Commerce and To-
cal farm organizations may we'll COM
bine in efforts to increase the products
Of Maine farms, to put these products
into better shape for the consumer,
and to develop local markets and hold
these markets for Maine products.
While Maine farmers stand at the
head of their occupation, it remains
fact that there are thousands and
thousands of acres of land, yielding
only light crops that might be made
to produce abundant and profitable
haryests of fruits, vegetables, grains
and potatoes"

misleading Lady"


One of the most important bookings
announced for this season is that of
1.-THE Misleading Lady" which is
scheduled to appear on Tuesday eve
ming, Sept. 10 This piece is one of a
very few that stayed in New York
for an entire season, where 1t attract
ed capacity houses to the Fulton the
alter, following which it played an I'M
usually long engagement at the Colo
NAL theater, Boston. 1t is now on tour
for the first time and its appearance
here is looked upon as one OF the
seasons notable events.
THE Misleading Lady is a farce in
three acts by Paul Dickey and Chas.
w. Goddard and deals principally with
a very attractive young woman, who,
to win a wager from an assembled
house party, induces an exceedingly
practical young business man to make
her a proposal of marriage. When he
discovers that he has been made an
object of ridicule he retaliates by kid
mapping the girl and taking her in his
automobile to his hunting lodge in the
Adirondacks, where he Is entirely sue
cessful in not only thoroughly tanning
her, but in winning her respect as
well as her love. While the action of
the piece is laughable throughout, it
is at times thrilling, bordering almost
on the melodramatic.-Adyt

"Under Cover"

Under Cover" four-act play by
Roi Cooper Megrue. which Selwyn &
Co. will produce at The Opera House
on Thursday evening, Sept. 10th gives
promise of affording local playgoers
the greatest pleasure of the theatre.
Play and players come to US direct
from an engagement of thirty-one
weeks in Boston, thereby setting anew
high record for runs In that city.
Under Cover is MIR. Cooper's first
success, but not the first successful
production Of Selwyn & Co, for they
were responsible for the production of
within the Law Judging by the
run in Boston this firm has in Under
Cover" a play which will prove even a
greater dramatic and financial sue
cess than the WELLER play.
Under Cover" has to do with SNUG
glers and the secret service. The story
tells of the purchase in Paris of a val
liable pearl necklace, This is noted by
the Treasury Department and when it
is not declared on being brought to the
United States the secret service is i'm
mediately put on the track of the
smugglers. The ensuing complications
make vastly interesting play ano
they come so fast that they almost
trip over one another. And accord
ing to the reviewers, when there are
not thrills there is laughter and so the
audience is kept at high tension from
the rise of the first curtain until it de-
scends on the final act. So unusual is
the working out of the story that the
reviewers refused unanimously to re-
veal it to the public in the interest of
the playgoers who wish to see the
piece.
In selecting the company to inter-
pref Under Cover Selwyn & Co. have
given particular care that each part
shall be properly played, for from the
smallest bit to the leading parts the
characters all require expert delinea-
ton 1t is in the ensemble perform
ance that the play requires most care
full attention. For the company to be
seen here Selwyn & Co., have detected
RoclSclffe Fellows, Mary Keane, Ed
win Wolfe, Josephine Park, Theodore
Kehrwald, Clara Louise, and Roy La
Rue. Fro ma scenic standpoint no de-
tail has been neglected to make the
illusion perfect. This nrst act takes
place in q room at the customs house
in New York and the three last acts
follow at home on Long Island. The
action transpires during the afternoon
and evening of day in August. Prices
so rs, s1.o0 and $3.50. Seats now on
sale.-Advt.

Much interest Is being shown in the
annual shoot of the Maine National
| Guard to be held in Auburn Sent 81
20, the program of which has already
been announced Interest in teh AFT
! tairs OF the National Guard in gener-
al, and in the State shoot in nartic-
ular, has increased greatly In the past
rev years, and the coming matches
are expected TO prove more of an at
traction than ever.
during the coming shoot there will
be the usual number of matches. and
besides the regular events as ordered
by Adjutant General Albert Greenlaw
there will be many special matches
including those for Sthe Express-Ad-
vertiser, Frank NJ Low and the Ad-
jutant Generals cups.
According to all reports the range
has been kept in splendid condition
during the present season by Fred L.
Smell of the Third Co., c. A. c.. Au-
burn, the range keeper. When not in
use by the National uardsmen, the
range is open tot the public, although
permission must be obtained before
hand from Lieut. Col. James NJ.
Palmer.
For the past few years Maine has
been represented at the National shoot,
and a shoot has been held to select a
team. This year Maine was not repre-
sented, though it is barely possible
that team for 1915 may be selected
during the coming Sttae shoot.
The 1913 camp was featured by the
number of citizens who visited it. The
camp Itself, and the splendid disci-
pine and precision were revelations TO
the citizens And the many COM
ments made concerning the camp could
not be other than very favora BILE.

A Wonderful Savings Bank
Growth.

pany has recently passed its
18th milestone, having COM
menced business in 1880.
1t has issued to its deposit
ors a little booklet-which it
will send to anyone asking
therefor until the supply is
setting forth GER
tain facts connected with this
bank.
The booklet contains a por-
trait of the President, Gov.

Culver; and the other mem-
bers of the Board of Directors,
S. A. Fife, Arba A. Pike, R.

The officials are certainly
able tomake very creditable
showing. Below we give
some of its claims as set forth
in its booklet:
Between July I, 1907, and
January I, 1914, the deposits
of the Bank increased from
$844,15S.34 to 81 ,oo2,44 70,
or more than threefold.

strength it says that -
"Since the Banks organic

depositor calling for his nor

but it kept its finances SO well

fact that during the panic

By MAY MANTON

buys as far as she is able, is the woman
OF broad mind, Of patriotic zeal. 1t is
the narrow view that does harm, the
narrow view that helps to spread the
shadow that has extended even over
into our own land. That we must give
time and thought to the suffering
thousands is so true that it scarcely
calls for statement, but because CT that
truth we must not shut our eyes to
other needs. If we dance and enter
tain, we employ others and employ
ment is the one great need. While
extravaganza is never wise and while
each one Of us must be the judge Of how
far she can go, the spirit Of rational
spending is the spirit We need. 1t is
the spirit Of gclo-osity AMI the real
response to the call.
