Road Commissioners in County
Convention at HYDE Park

Undoubtedly the best Road Commits
siOners' meeting ever held in this county
was that held at Hyde Park Thursday of
last week. Every town in the county
was represented, except .Belvidere and
Waterville.
State Highway Commissioner Gates
was present and by his talks impaired
much valuable information to the COM
missioners. He also gave large number
of lantern views, showing the actual work
done in many towns and counties and the
Importance of drainage, cutting grades,
shortening the dangerous curves and of
improving the surface, where it is clay or
sand.
He complimented Lamoile county upon
the fact that it was in the lead in the
state in the percentage it paid toward
highways, it being 40 per cent; Franklin
county comes next with 38 per cent.
E. p. Jose of johnson is not exactly n
accord with the present method of build
ing permanent roads and took occasion to
state his feelings in that direction. Mr.
Gates very cIeverly and concisely pointed
out to Mr.. jose the fallacy of his argu-
ments. Johnson, by the way, is the only
town ia the county that has failed to vote
any sum for permanent roads this year.
Informal remarks were also made by
others, and altogether it was an interest
ing and profitable meeting for our county
road builders, Mt Gates is an enthusiast
about good roads, has made the subject a
close STUDY and under his direction the
roads throughout the county, as well as
the state, have been, and are being great
ly improved. He is certainly the rig t
man in the right place." and he no dot
will be kept There as long as he will ST y.
Vermont is fortunate in having man of
his ability at the head of its highways.

Fish and Game Notes

Fish and Game Commissioner Walter
I. Neal was at the office Thursday
having returned from a weeks trip
through Waldo, Knox and Lincoln
counties looking after affairs in gener-
al and also in search of good men for
the warden force-men who know how
and will enforce the fish and game
laws to the letter. Mr.. Neal says:
"A good game warden must be born.
The position requires peculiar qualifi
cations and not everyone makes sue
cess of the business. We want good
and fearless men and can use some
more.
we find that our system of having
chief game wardens located here and
there throughout the State is working
out very successfully. 1t keeps the
warden wide awake and alert and a
big record is being made this year in
prosecutions of violators of the law
The commission has just adopted
regulations for fishing in Hoyt and
Sanford brooks, tributary to the Bel
grade streams, whereby for a period
of four years from Aug. Is, 1914, these
brooks will be closed each year to fish
ing for all kinds Of fish until the ice
goes out in the spring.

Nervous Children

There is much criticism of modern
educational methods that require too
much work of school children, allow
ing them TOO little time for play and
preventing sufficient out Of door exer-
else. When the study of music or
any other accomplishment, with the
necessary practice, is added, the strain
is increased.
Under these conditions the blood
becomes impoverished and fails to
nourish the nerves. The child be-
comes restless and twitching of the
muscles follows. Sometimes the child
stumbles in walking and drops what
it tries to hold. Pallor, listlessness,
inattention, restlessness, and irrita-
bility are symptoms that early show
that the blood and nerves are failing
to meet the demands made upon them.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, a safe tonic
for children, will build up the blood,
strengthen the nerves and help to meet
the demands of the growing child.
Sufficient out of doors exercise, nour-
ishing food and ten hours sleep each
day, with these tonic pills, will cor
rect even long standing cases. of st.

Salmon for Cobbossee

The Fish and Game Commission
some time ago made a request of the
Unitde States Fish and Game Com
mission for 10000 humpbacked salmon
for Lake Cobbosseecontee in Kennebec
county. The fishing in that once IA
NOUS fishing lake has gone astern''
so in recent years that the Maine COM
missioners have determined to do all
IN their power to bring 1t back to its
old condition. Investigation has prov
ed that the humpback salmon will
thrive and multiply in Maine climate
and water and Cobbossee is to be
among the first to benefit Our fish
Will come from the United States
hatchery at Orland, Me-, about Sept.
1.
The United States authorities have
the following to say about the intro
duction of the humpback salmon into
Maine waters:
one OF the most interesting and
promising pieces of constructive fish
cry work now in progress in the bu-
reau of fisheries, department of COM
merce, is the introduction of the hump
back salmon of the Pacific coast into
sAS hNASAoh WATERS OIL Maine.
The native salmon of the New Eng
land coast has become very scarce,
and there is noteworthy run only In
the Penobscot river, where the bureau
conducts extensive operations address
ed to this species. Owing to unfavor-
able physical conditions dams, pollu-
tions. removal of forests at headwa-
ters, etc., In most of the streams for
merly frequented by the salmon, there
is little or no probability that this
hsh can ever be established The
humpback salmon has therefore been
selected as a suitable substitute. 1t
spawns near salt water, and will find
numerous favorable streams in which
the eggs will hatch and the young re-
main until ready for their short marine
life. The average weight attained is
five pounds, but examples weighing 10
pounds are sometimes taken in Alas
ka. When the fish is fresh-run from
the sea, the flesh is of a rich red col
or, OF delicious favor and a very sat
isfactory substitute for the Atlantic
salmon.
THE bureau has begun an annual
transfer of humpback eggs from the
west coast to the Maine hatcheries,
and Is now distributin. in the form of
fingerlings, the fish resulting from
egs brouht across the continent and
the waters stocked, which have been
specially selected for the purpose, will
include the followin Maine rivers: Pc

The State Library,

State Librarian Harry c. Prince has
just received the following reeommen-
dations presented by the committee on
exchange and distribution of state doc
uments Mrs. NJ. c. Spencer chairman,
at the 1914 meeting of the National
Association of State Libraries, which
were adopted by the association and a
copy ordered sent to each state libra
rian:
First, 1t is the unanimous opinion of
the committee that state exchanges
should be distributed as generously and
widely as possible regardless of any
lack of reciprocity on the part of the
recipients;
Second, That so far as possible this
distribution should extend to other in
stitutions which might wish to use
them;
Third. That the state library should
be the distributing point of all state
documents. and that enough copies of
these documents should be given to
every state library to satisfy all possi-
BILE requests. This committee. how
ever. would not encourage the distribu-
ton by state librarians of duplicate
documents of other states;
Fourth, Recognizing the fact that
the trash of today is the treasure of
tomorrow" it is the belief of this COM
mittee that state librarians should
realize the Importance of state docu-
ments from an historical as we'll as a
legal standpoint. and should make
their sets as complete as possible;
Fifth, That a standing committee be
appointed from this association which
during the year shall correspond with
all state librarians for the purpose of
increasing the exchange of state docu-
ments. gathering statistics, etc, and in
vestigating conditions:
Sixth, That the Librarian of Con-
gress be requested if possible to pub
