EMPLOYEES OF
PHONE GO, MAY
BUY S 0CK

Lewiston, Me-, Dec 30.-Announcement
was made Wednesday by the New Eng
land Tel. & Tel Co. of plan by which
employees of the Bell Telephone system
can purchase stock in the company upon
an easy payment plan. The American
Telephone & Telegraph Co, which is the
parent company of all the Bell lines,
originates the idea. Under this arrange
ment any employee who has been in the
service two or more years can purchase
stock at the rate of $40 per share.
No employee can purchase more than
one share for each $500 of annual wages
he receives nor more than 10 shares
whatever his wages. The terms of pay
ment will be 81 per share per month, be-
ginning with March, 1915, and the quar-
terly dividends paid on the stock will go
towards paying for it after deducting
interest at per cent. per annum on the
unpaid balances.
Should an employee leave the service
or die before his stock is fully paid for,
the amount he had paid in plus the ac-
cumulated dividends Gess per cent. in
teresD will be paid back.
The company makes it plain that no
employee is under any obligation to buy
any stock, but 1t is believed that a con-
siderable number of employees will take
advantage of this opportunity to save a
little money every month and invest ii
in the. business.

SYMONDS WAS

Portland. Me-, Dec. $3.50 far as
had been learned at late hour this
afternoon the last trace so far obtain
ed of Thomas H. Symonds. who dis
appeared suddenly Saturday noon af-
ter he left the store of Clark & Friend
Co, where he had been employed for
the last six years, was in the North

From information obtained by this
paper the young man must have gone
almost directly to Union station, as

lunch Just opposite the station sery-
ed him between IL and / o'clock on
Saturday. Mr.. Langley telephoned this
information to the Express Advertiser
this morning and the fact that he
knows Mr. Symonds leaves no room
for doubt as to young Mr.. Symonds
having been there at that time.
From another reliable source it was
learned that he bought a ticket Tor
Boston shortly afterward and from
still another dependable source that
he was seen and spoken to in the
North station in Boston about $40
Saturday evening He was then
thought to be heading for the South
station The belief is now that he may
have gone to New York City and as
a consequence endeavors will be made
through New York friends TO locate
him there.

BETTER CONDI-
TONS FOR new
YORK TEACHERS

New York Dec. 30.-A recommended
ton that women teachers in this city
be granted leave of absence for child
birth was made to the Board OF Ed
ucation by a committee which is in
vestigating the experience and GUS
toms of the educational authorities OF
4S large American cities. They dis
covered that in only five is such leave
of absence granted.
The case of one teacher, who, be-
cause she became a mother while en-
ployed, was expelled, went to the state
court of appeals after she had resorted
to the courts here in an endeayor to
secure her reinstatement, and the state
tribunal decided that her dismissal
was legal.
The special committee sent letters
of inquiry to the educational authorl-
ties in AS cities with population OF
more than 100000, and written re-
sponses showed that in 81 the mar
rage of a teacher automatically acts
as a discharge. 's
The committee in today's recon-
mendation, action on which was de-
ferred by the board until its next
meeting, held that. provided the
teacher "as mother" was. not held open
during her absence but her place filled
by another, school work was not inter
fered with, and the teaeher-mother
dismissal accordingly could not be
justified on the ground that marriage
or motherhood was detrimental TO the
interest of the schools.

DUTCH APPLAUD
The UNITED STATES,
BUT THE ANSWER:

The Hague, Dec. Silvia London.
Dec. 31.-2.59 A. M.--The Dutch pa.
pers while general commenting on the
note to Great, Britain regarding the
searching of vessels from the United
States by British warships, virtual
agree as to the main points brought
out in the following editorial expires
sions in the Amsterdam Algemeen
Hadelsblad.
The note sent to England but in
tended for the powers of the Triple
Entente is a remarkable symptom :.
America, as well as in other neutra
countries, the illegal measure takei
against American commerce has made
bad blood
1.-The note is not intended as a hos
tile act. but is a warning and request,
with detailed resume of the com
plants of American shippers The in
tentions of the note are good.
1T is well that Washington drew
the attention of the British govern
ment to the difficult position of neu
trail shippers. But will the protest
help? We believe we are justified in
doubling this, as in the case of the
piOleSl u Lie 4>etucIidllSs oWSuSi
Denmark and Norway. So, this ont
will be shelved because England viii
consider above all, and above tn
rights of neutrals her own interests
which are that nothing which the Ger
mans need must be permitted in thu
way of traffic. Fer this the neutra
states are sacrificed.
The Amsterdam Tijd says:
TT is shown that when its interests
demand such a course Washington acts
resolutely regardless of distinction o
persons. The protest of the not
against the manner in which Englan
wished to control the seas Is proof Q
this.
1.-THE exchange of nemorandums be.
tween America and England concern
ing the Client centenniary Is harai'
over when this protest note droppe'
like a bolt from the sky. 1t is super
fuous to point out the great import
ance of this step on the part of Amer
lea in behalf of neutral trade. Witt
anticipation we await John Bulls re
ply. Will washington be satisfied
with the morsel with which Mr.. As
quith and Sir Edward Grey hithert
! have placated small neutral counhris
when they have voiced timely an
humble complaints

AMERICAN FARMS
\ BREAK ALL RECORDS

Washington, Dec. 30.-American farms
during 1914 eclipsed all records for COM
bined value of their products with to-
tai of almost ten billion dollars. Secre-
tary Houston of the department of ag-
riculture announced today that the value
of all farm crops, farm animal products
and farm animals sold and slaughtered
aggregated s9S72, 936, 600 This was sS3,OOo,-
900 more than the grand total of 1918, the
previous record year, and more than dou-
BILE the value of all farm products in 1899.
Crops this year were valued at s6,044,-
$4,000 and the estimated total value of
the animal products and of the farm ami
mails sold and slaughtered was $S.S2S. 49,,
CO.,
The corn and wheat crops were the
most valuable ever produced in the Unit
ed States, bringing the years crop value
total to only SIS, $4,000 less than the total
for last year, despite the loss of more
than $500 ,000, 900 in the value of the cot
ton crop.
'The estimated value of the animal
products of the farm in 1884," said sthe
Agricultural outlook today. lis distinct
ly higher than in 1918, which was itself
a record year in the value of this class
of product. This is due to general but
slight increases in production, except for
sheep and swine, and in prices, more es-
pecially to a large increase in the aver
age farm price of eggs and to a more
considerable increase in the farm price
of cattle and calves sold and slaughtered
at must be borne in mind that the
amounts of these estimates do not stand
for net wealth produced nor for cash re-
ceived nor for profit nor for income in
any sense. Each product is valued. as
in the census when it reached CONNER
cial form, and the grand aggregate of all
items is to be regarded as an index num-

TROLLEY DASHES
DOWN HILL and
INTO FREIGHT CAR

Biddeford, Dec. 30.-A large vestibule
on the Atlantic Shore Line which had
just arrived in Biddeford, lost its air
at the top of the grade in City Square
about this morning and skated down
the hill into the square at rate OF
speed calculated at 10 miles an hour
and crashed into a freight car stand
ing at the terminus of the line near
the Main street crossing. Both cars
were telescoped. The end of the
freight car was smashed while that of
the passenger was reduced to splinters.
The Nestibule was demolished
Frank w, Mccain, rs, of Sanford, mo-
torman on the passenger car, was at
his post in the vestibuie when the crash
came and was wedged in among the
iron work and timbers so that consid-
cradle force was required TO release
him. He was attended by a doctor
who discovered two cuts on his head,
one on the right side near the fore
head and just above the ear, the
other on the left side. His legs We're
scratched and bruised. He was taken
to the Weber Hospital and it is
thought he will return home this after
noon or tomorrow.
There were no passengers in the car,
they having alighted before the car
started down the grade. The motor
man was on the top of the car arrang
ing the trolley when the electric lost
it's air. He jumped to the ground and
into the vestibule where he attempted
to stop the car but was unable to do
so and it chashed into the freight.
