WILBUR C. OLIVER,
Sheriff of Sagadahoc County.
Bath. Me. Dec. II, 1914,
The above in the form of a two-inch
ad in the Bath Times is being run by
! the sheriff of Sagadahoc county as a
warning to those who are aiding in the
violation Of the law. The same course
,ould probably be pursued by other
sheriffs with good effect
certain self-styled newspaper
has been making false charges against
the sheriff of Kennebec county. 1t is
practically safe from prosecution, as it
well understands, because if it's little
ness and lack of Importance. 1t is USE
less to so after louise with a horse
rake
One OF these charges repeatedly
made, is that beer and ale are on draft
IN Waterville and Gardiner. When call
ed TO Sheriff Getchelrs attention he
promptly declared that he would make
1t worth while to anyone who would
show him place. where beer or ale is
on draft in Kennebec county He said
he would pay the so-called newspaper
500 for the information which II
claims TO hold. Other reckless state
ments Of this sheet are known to be
and can be proven utterly false-but
that is another story.
Sheriff Oliver and Sheriff Getchell
are enforcing the law as well as it can
be done while men of respectable
standing in communities are willing tn
give their services to the LIQUOR inter
ests, and even go so far as to allow
booze to come in their names. so that
1t will not be seized. and then turn IL
over to habitual drinkers. druggists,
and bootleggers. The law will always
be violated SO long as wholesalers in
rum trust territory are allowed to shin
It into prohibitory states, in any man
ner TO defeat the law. for the double
purpose Of the profits and the discred
ting Of the peoples law
The fight must be constant and only
such officers as Sheriff Oliver stand
between the safety and morality of our
children and our Christian institutions
and the deplorabls conditions under
rum trust law.

ETON JACKETS WILL
LEAD NEW STYLES

The cton jacket. so popular a few years
ago. is again in fashion. II appears in
many new phases and will appeal strong
~ to those who love novelty.
This Jacket will be worn with a skirt
OF the same color or with a contrasting
skirt. for the day OF contrasts is not past.
To preserve the regular pegtop silhou-
ettc. designers realized that the jackets
would have to be extremely short. There
fore we have the eton and bolero styles.
The new bolerCs scarcely resemble
those of former popularity, for they are
loosely fitted. OF different lengths, and
very much trimmed.
Among the lately imported ctons ana
boleros arc models with outstanding col
lars and turned-back cuffs of the sheerest
linen or batiste. VaIenciennes lace or
bands of hemstitching trim the dainticst
designs. The sleeves Of these jackets arc
usually short and have long sub-sleevcs
of the linen. These are cut rather full
and arc gathered into tight cuffs with
wide frills, which fall over the hands.
particularly smart eton OF old-biue
corded silk is cut very short in front and
has a short circular peplum across the
back A collar of tucked white null
trimmed with narrow lace is wired to
stand up crisp1y about the neck! Deep
turned-back cuffs TO correspond finish the
snort sleeves.
OF a totally different type is another
charming cton of rust-red moirc. Closely
following the lines of a kimono jacket.
the eton hangs loose from the shoulders.
Under each arm. however, the fullness
is confined a trifle by two straps Of the
material Tiny covered buttons trim these
straps The jacket is fastened with sin
gle fastening. consisting of an ornament
fashioned OF braid matching the moire.
A fiat collar of embroidered batiste fin
ishcs the neck line. and subsleeves of the
same material extend below the .op
sleeves OF moire.
There arc cton jackets of taffeta or
silk poplin trimmed with shirred bands
of the material. while other models arc
adorned with pleatings. Some designers
favor soutache braiding and embroidery
done with heavy silk. and most of their
creations are trimmed in this manner.
One fascinating little jacket has square
cut tails at the back and an outstanding
frill of moire ribbon is about the neck
The eton jacket not only appears on
street costumes, but on smart afternoon
gowns as well. Even the evening gowns
have a suggestion of the bolero or eton
jacket in the manner in which the TRIM
ming is arranged.
The extremely short draped jacket,
overlapping in front and held in place
with one button. is featured on models
designed by famous couturiers.
