A well-known Kennebunk business
man received telephone call Wednes-
day afternoon from his daughter who
informed him in spirited tone that
someone had broken down cherry
tree in the garden and despite inquiries
of neighbors no clue could be found
which might lead to knowledge of
the destroyer of the cherry tree. The
father in calm and measured tone
talked over the deed of the apparently
heartless destructionist and then con-
fessed he was the culprit. Like George
he could not tell fib. The young lady
cautioned her father about telling the
newspapers of the incident and he
promised never to tell.

But it was all forgotten when the
boy realized that the girl was travel

battle will he tied with the Tigers for
the title. A game TO decide the win

advantage than ever before.
