in an electric chair last evening she
seemed to rather enjoy the unique ex-

1000 more volts than is required in
state electrocutions Sparks were
drawn from her fingers, arms and the

thoroughly mystified the audience.

COMMON SCHOOL EXPENSES.

The annual Maine school report shows that
last year for the SUPPORT of common schools
there was expended total amount of $2264.
28S OF this total, teachers wages called for
$1,751,7l3 or n per cent of the whole. The
tables show some interesting comparisons
among the several towns and plantations of the
State. For example, on the basis of the amount
available for the schooling of each scholar ii. e.,
persons betw cen five and twenty one) there is
an extremely wide total range of IS 20 in Wal
lagrass Plantation to $127.3O in Rangeley Plan
tation. Among the Incorporated towns the
range is from $5.42 in Frenchville to SAL 81 in
Grafton. The range among the cities is from
$3.50 in Biddeford to $143 in Gardiner, 1t is
pointed out that these figures are not to be
taken alone in estimating the probable educa-
tional result. A high valuation and few scholars
or large school population with a considerable
portion outside of the public schools materially
alters the circumstances affected by the local
taxation and n.tuntasble for each child in
school.

A STRIKING LESSON IN THRIFT.

The Christmas Club of the Waldo Trust Co.
The Waldo Trust Company will dsburse
$4,000 among its 45O Christmas Club members
on Dec. 18th.
The Christmas Club was adopted after a
thorough investigation among banks in other
parts of the State that had operated this
unique savings system successfully and were
enthusiastic regarding it.
The object in operating such savings club
was to encourage and enable people to set
aside small sums each week, to be paid to them
in one amount just before Christmas, when
everyone feels the need of an extra fund.
The results have been extremely gratifying
and satisfactory and surprised the officials
when they learned how popular the club had
become.
A large percentage of those who started in
the club last December have continued, but
those who dropped out will receive a check
for all the money deposited. without interest.
Depositors were enrolled throughout the coun-
ty and great many have expressed their de-
sire to enroll for the 1915 club.
Two classes were operated in the 1914 club.
Ouc pAlu q CtHto Suc uHSI "ceAp CenLS Tie
second week until on the fiftieth week the
payment was one dollar; the other paid cents
the first week and the final pa yment was 81 so.
or the order of payments could be reversed.
The depositors have made many plans re-
garding the use of their Christmas fund. Some
will pay for their winters coal, some will pay
insurance premiums. others have expressed
their intention of placing all or part of
their money in a regular savings account with
the Waldo Trust Company at per cent. The
paying Of $15,0 900 at this time will make busi-
ness good with Belfast merchants and will add
many to the already long list of friends of the
Waldo Trust Company.
The Christmas Club will be operated for the
year 1915 and at the request of several depos-
itors two additional classes have been includ-
ed-one to pay SO cents each week for fifty
weeks. the other $1.00 each week for the SER
les of fifty weeks.
While there are benefits to the merchants
and others in the Christmas Savings Club, the
greatest benefit to the community is the les
son in saving and the demonstration that the
small depositor is accorded the same hearty
welcome and courteous treatment as the large
one.
