CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
Splendid Work Which This Organiza
ton Is Doing in Maine

The issue of Maine Association News"
which has just been published under the
direction of Horace c. Day of Auburn,
chairman of the State executive commit
tee, puts before the people of the State
the wonderful work which is being done
In the interest of men and boys. The
paper shows that approximately 5000
young men are now being reached by the
Young Mems Christian Association
against 1000 eight years ago. The meth
DDS used in reaching the men and boys
are suggested and approved by the State
committee which also in itself has
complete tabulation system whereby it
keeps in touch with thousands of boys
each year. Under its supervision comes
the work done for boys in the city asso-
Citations, in the country work and In the
community. In the student life of the
Maine colleges the work Is carried on to
some extent by special secretaries. The
railroad companies have come to recog-
niZe the importance of the Association
in the lives of their employees and each
month they contribute to the work which
is done for their men. II is especially
interesting to know that in this present
year many of the city associations in
Maine are coming under new leadership.
These cities are Augusta, with a new
building, Bar HaSbor. Bath and Rock
port. OF great Importance in the State
work is the work which is done for the
State militia men and the steady work
carried on at the, forts for the enlisted
men. The testimonies which come of the
men themselves are sufficient to proee
that the work has found a place. wher-
ever men are brought together in con-
struction camps or in the lumber camps
the Young Mems Christian Association
has a tent or building of some kind for
it's headquarters. In these camps espe-
cially through the hospital work the as
ISOLATION has performed a real service
for the men who work outdoors. Through
the rural work. too, the laymen come
into their rights of leadership and the
fact that men throughout the State are
helping in the whole work has made it
possible for Maine to boast of its accom-
plishments Through the medium of the
Young Mems Christian Association Maine
is teaching a large number of its young
men in proportion to its population than
any other state in the Union. On the
State executive committee are 20 of the
most successful Christian businessmen in
the State and TO their judicious G:rec-
| ton the work is entrusted for future and
larger development.

CYRIL PARE GETS
80 DAYS IN JAIL ON
LARCENY CHARGE
And a Like Sentence When
Found Guilty of In
tOxicatiOn

Cyril Pare, aged about 80 years, was
before the municipal court Wednesday
morning to answer to a charge of lar
ceny preferred against him by Mrs.
Felixine Maheu, who alleged that on
Tuesday afternoon Cyril stole sum
of money belonging to her. The money
was in her purse and the purse in turn
was in bag. The charge was found to
be a true one and as the result OF
Mr.. Pares action, although he claim
ed that 1t was a joke his liberty will
be very much restricted for some time
to come.
From information which was receiV-
ed by the court ii would appear that
Pare's troubles came about through
call Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Ma
heu upon her mother and Pare's in
ability to resist the temptation TO take
that which did not belong to him. In
entering her complaint to the court
Mrs. Maheu said that she went to call
on her mother Tuesday afternoon and
finding the latter out in the yard went
into the house and left the bag con-
tanning the purse on taple, after
which she went out where her mother
was: that in short time she went
again into the house and taking the
purse from the bag she opened it and
found the money gone.
She then made inquiries and soon
ascertained that two men, one OF
whom was Pare, had been seen going
into the house. The men were taken
into custody but the man who had
been seen to enter the house with
Pare was shown not to have had any
thing to do with the theft OF the
money and was released.
When arraigned before the court
Wednesday morning Pare admitted the
theft of the money, which was found
on him, but claimed that he took II
as a Joke. The court, however, could
NOT see the matter in that light ana
innosed a sentence of 80 days in Jail.
Pare was then arraigned on a charge
of intoxication and on being declared
guilty was in that case given SEN
tence of 80 days in Jail, so that he Will
he missed from his accustomed haunts
for a period of two months.

Develop Maine Movement Will
Promote Selling
Organizations

A turtle which weighed 100 pounds
became the prize of West Sayville
Long Island fishermen a few days ago
and the fishermen publicly rejoiced for
1t was looked upon as a bonanza. 1t
was shipped into New York at a cost
of about dollar for express, COM
mission and ice. The pay for the tur-
tie came yesterday. The fishermen
gathered round to see the size of the
check. 1t was merely a five cent post
age stamp. To say that the fishermen
were angry does not convey intensity
of their wrath at all.
Many a Maine farmer has been
through similar experience. He has
shipped apples, poultry, hay or eggs to
the big cities and has been rewarded
for bis investment, labor and patient
waiting, with check about the size
OF five cent postage stamp. The
farmer Who escapes this sort Of treat
ment is the farmer who belongs to a
live selling organization, and cooper
ates with his neighbors in maintain
ing an agent in. the market, who is
answerable to the farmers.
All that can be done by the Develop
Maine Movement to foster these CO.
operative selling organizations will be
done. The Maine farmer is losing a
large percentage of the reward that
should be his because of his crude
marketing methods. The Develop
Maine Movement can and will help
him. If there was no other reason why
farmers should join the Develop Maine
Movement, this should be sufficient
But there are other reasons

HERE'S A GOOD
STATE OF MAINE
TRUE FISH STORY
How Black Bass Have Been and
Can Be Caught in the
Middle of the Road

Here is a true story about black
bass fishing. 1t can be proven wheth
er or not Bill Jones is still in the land
of the living. Witnesses even from
York state would be glad to testify in
any place or spot as to its truth. So,
listen.
Harold Shaw, lad living with his
parents at the head of Togus pond,
was fishing the other day for black
bass. He was standing pretty handy
to the line of wheel tracks at the
bridge and just as a New York auto
party was passing, the indications of a
fish bite caused the party to haul up
to see what the lad would haul up.
(And the stenographer says it will be
all up if this is continued).
The boy Harold played with the fish
as best he could and to the amazement
of the onlookers. for to them it SEEM
ed that he was fishing in the road.
After quite struggle with his catch
the boy suddenly gave great tug
on his line and up into the middle of
the roadway came a whopping 1-2
pound bass.
Hard to believe, but absolutely true.
And the head Of the New York party
laid back and laughed until he cried.
He couldn't believe it, yet he had seen
it.
Boy" he said, I've done and seen
lots of fishing, but this is the first
time L ever saw black bass pulled up
through the middle of the road"

A Maine Central construction train
and crew arrived at Augusta Wednes-
day morning in charge of Augustus
Cloutier and began the preliminary
work for the change of location of
tracks to be made at the time that the
new steel bridge now in process of
erection is opened to use. The work in
hand at present consists in laying the
new eastbound track from just above
the Winthrop street crossing to a point
near the new bridge, which is expected
to take about three weeks, after which
the crew will be transferred to the
east bank Of the river to lay the iron
there. 1t is understood that after the
new bridge goes into commission,
W hich will probably be in October the
north end Of the double iron will for
the present be at a point about oppo-
site the boiler room of the Cushnoc Pa

PROTEST BLASTING
METHODS ON THE
FEDERAL ROAD
Discharge of $50 Pounds of Dy-
Mantle Does Much DAM
age in Yarmouth

Yarmouth, Me-, July 22.-People
residing near the Marsh Bridges are
making vigorous protest against the
manner IN which the contractor for the
construction of the Federal highway
between Portland and Brunswick is
blasting rock in that vicinity A
large quarry has been opened on the
South Freeport road just beyond
where it turns off from the new
highway. Late Monday afternoon
about $50 pounds of dynamite was
exploded all at once. The force of
the explosion was so great that
large rocks We're hurled for many
hundreds of feet Blaisdell's field
was filled with rocks. Much dam
age was done to the telephone wires
and to the Lewiston, Augusta &
Waterville st. Ry. property. One
large rock struck rail with such
force that the rail was bent out of
shape and traffic over the road was
tied up for about two hours. This
morning a crew started to remove
the rocks from Blaisdell field but
Mr. Blaisdell ordered the men off
until the contractor had settled for
the damage done his property.

GORHAM YOUNG MEN
CAPTURE RARE FOX

Gorham, Me-, July 21-On Sunday
Raymond Douglass of West Gorham
and Herbert Townsend of Cumberland
Mills met with a rather exciting ad-
be q valuable adventure
While Douglass and Townsend were
walking over a field on the farm of
Freedom Douglass they CHANGED upon
a number of fox holes which they at
once discovered were part of a rath-
er large fox colony. After catching
siimpses of four or five foxes they
started in to dig them from their
hiding places. The various holes were
all connected, as they found, which
made the capture difficult. However,
after working a long time. they had
hole of large size and sent in a small
bull dog to dig out the animal. Though
not successful in driving out the foxes,
he forced one so close to the opening
that Mr.. Townsend crawled part way
into the hole and succeeded in captur-
ing and bringing out a large fox
which, strange to say, did not scratch
or bite him.
The young man carried the fox to
Douglass home and built a pen for
him where he will be kept for a time
Opinion seems to be divided as to
whether the fox is the common red
fox or the rare silver gray. In either
case ii is extremely valuable and will
probably be sold to some fox farm.
Effort will be made to secure the re-
naming ones. An excited and interest
ed crowd watched the capture
