Legislative News of Interest to Ham
cock County Readers.
Several Hancock county highway and
bridge resolves fell by the wayside, being
reported adversely by committee last
Wednesday. Among these were the re-
solve for work on Garland's hill, Maria
vile; resolve in favor of towns OF Penob-
scot and Castine; resolve in favor OF Goose
Falls bridge, Brooksville; aud resolve for
repair of Mt. Desert toll bridge when
made a free bridge. The resolve to pro-
vide for the purchase OF the toll bridge by
the towns, however, was reported favor
ably. The resolve in favor OF the Chick
hill road, in Amherst and Clifton, was re-
ported favorably.
The Egypt bay smelt bill met with
rough weather liz the House Thursday,
when Rep. Holt, OF Gouldsboro, moved
indefinite postponement of the committee
report, sought to pass" and Rep. Kicker,
of Castine, clinched the nail by later NOV
ing to reconsider this motion, the
motion to reconsider being lost.
When the bill reached the Senate Thurs
day, Senator Scammon exerted himself to
save it, moving acceptance Of the COM
mittee report in non concurrence with the
House. The Senate non-concurred in in
definite postponement, and tabled the
report pending acceptance.
A divided report has been returned by
committee on the bill to throw Mt. Desert
wide open to automobiles. The bill to
open the roads on the western part OF the
town was reported unanimously fought
to pass".
The bill to prohibit the shooting Of wild
animals aud birds on Hancock Point has
been reported sought not to pass. The
same report has been made on the resolve
in favor of screening Jones pond, Goulds-
boro, and the resolve in favor OF Verona
bridge.
NOTES.
Senator cha.to's Bill for q new State
prison was defeated in the Senate Thurs
day, when the minority report, fought
not to pass" was adopted by . vote Of
II to II. Senator Chatto put up . good
fight and showed clearly the need OF .
new prison, but the abandonment OF the
prison at Thomaston, which the bill in
volved, and the large additional first cost,
were obstacles too great to be overcome.
The bill for extensive repairs on the pres
emit building will doubtless go through.
The bill for four-years close time on
bull moose has met with opposition, but
seems to have votes enough behind it to
put it through.
The direct primary Law is safe for
awhile, the House Friday killing the bill
to repeal is by vote OF 81 to 81. The bill
to change the date Of State elections from
September to November was disposed of
by the House Thursday, by vote of rs to
So to accept the minority report, sought
not to pass"
The hearing on the bill to give the SUI
preme court in Knox county jurisdiction
over the towns ofSwan's Island, Deer Isle,
Stonington and Long Island plantation
has been reassigned for Thursday, March
IL.
The bill to do away with the present
State highway commission has been killed.

Pretty Home Wedding.

A pretty home wedding was solem-
nized at the home of Rev. and Mrs. M.
NJ. Midthun at Minneapolis last Thurs
day afternoon when their daughter,
Miss Hilma, became the bride of ID.
F. Johnson of this village. The we'd
ding took place in the living room
which was tastefully decorated in pink
and white together with green, and
the ceremony was performed before
an altar Of palms and ferns. The
words that united the hearts of these
two young people for the remainder of
life's journey were spoken by the
brides father. The guests, being on
ly immediate relatives and intimate
friends of the contracting parties,
numbered about twenty.
The bride was deliberately gowned
in a dress of white wolfe trimmed with
venise lace and pearls. She wore a
veil which was caught in cap effect
and carried a shower bouquet of white
roses and lilies of the valley. The
groom and best man, Oscar Erickson,
wore the conventional black. Miss
Louise Midthun, sister of the bride,
and maid of honor was dressed in law
ender and wore a corsage bouquet of
lavender sweet peas. Ruth Midthun,
who acted as flower girl carried a
basket of pink flowers.
Immediately following the ceremony
a bountiful dinner was served. The
dining room was also decorated in
pink, white and green.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. B. Johnson and
daughter, Mary of Nest Lake, parents
and sister of the groom, were the
guests from a distance who attended
the wedding. ~,..c...s q ,

Care for Robins and Biueb;rds.

The economic Importance of keeping
our robins and bluebirds supplied with
food is emphasized in department Bull
letin No. III, entitled Food of the
Robins and Bluebirds of the United
States These two members of the
thrush family are most attractive and
desirable assistants to the farmer, re-
ducing the insects that prey on his
crops besides eating a number of un-
desirable weed seeds. However, as
they are very generally distributed
throughout the United States and are
usually abundant wherever found, it
sometimes becomes problem to pro-
vide for them when the supply of in
sects and wild berries is insufficient
and the birds have to resort to cult
waited crops to sustain life. In order
to keep the birds from destroying
valuable crops the departments bio
logist advises that they be provided
with adequate supplies of wild fruits
and berries by their human friends
Ornamental trees and shrubs which
furnish these may be planted in the
vicinity of cultivated crops for this
purpose.

Buys a Felt Hat.

Mr.. Felt of Fahlun, while out
planting corn one day felt the cold
blowing on his head. He felt of
his old felt hat and felt a big hole
in the felt. And, as Roosefelt had
felt, so Felt felt-that it was time
to throw his old felt hat in the
ring and get a new felt hat. When
he came to town to buy the new
felt hat, Felt felt of the felt in sew
eral felt hats at the felt hat coun-
ter and at first felt very undecided.
But after Felt had felt of the felt
in all the felt-hats, Felt felt that
the felt in one particular felt hat,
of which he felt, felt softer than
the felt in any felt hat that Felt
had ever felt. So Felt felt that
such a felt hat was the right felt
hat to buy. And the salesman
waiting on Felt said he felt that
Felt felt right about soft felt being
better than stiff felt. He also said
he felt that Felt was really filling
a long felt want by buying a felt
hat of which he, Felt, felt sure that
he had felt the felt to be soft felt.

THREE MEN ARE WANTED

Nine Railroads Are After Three Bad
Men Captured Last Week =.
at Morris.

Nine railroads are after the three
bad men arrested in Morris last week
and who are now confined in the coun-
ty jail In this city. Immediately after
their arrest seven detectives came to
Morris and have looked them over.
Officer Ryan picked the men up on
the street and took them to the coun-
ty jail where they were held waiting
orders from the authorities of the 500
at Glenwood. Shortly after their ar
rest A. Mcleod, of Tintah, appeared
and charged them with robbing him
Of SO at the Northern Pacific depot
in this city as he was leaving the
train Wednesday evening. The men
gave the names Of Frank Foley, Ed.
Finley and George Williams.
In case Mcleod fails to substan-
tiate his charges the men will be re-
leased but Sheriff Shane of Stearns
county, will be here to take them to
St. Cloud. Among the other railroad
detectives who were in Morris and
looked them over last week kere Cook
and McShane of the Great Northern;
Burns and Daisey of the 500, Ryan
of the N. p, and Deputy Sheriffs CHS
holm and Fonsen Of st. Cloud. The
Milwaukee, M. & St. L., and the Oma-
ha lines are also eager to get them.

we had never thought about the

that we had sufficient chairs at

spuds would be more acceptable.
We said we understood he was a
truck farmer but we hadn't seen
much truck around the place. We
explained that we had come to get
a report on crop conditions.

Editor T. Fullery in Willmar
Tribune of May 18th says he
sprung his skull trying to think of
a word to rhyme with carborator.
We reason that the said skull was
sprung inward, being empty. We
also would like to know where said
Editor finds the word carborator.
Henry Ford calls it carbureter.
but Noah Webster called it car
buretter, but then Mr.. Webster
didn't run a Ford or an automo-
bile, either.
But granted that the above men,
toned skull did contain the word
carborator, wouldn't fit name in
rhyme be found in indicator, or
separator, lubricator or advocator,
abbreviator or abdicator, abroga-
tor or personator, perpetrator or
percolator, interrogation or agita-
tor? Now hop to it, you procrasti-
natOr.
We hope that those who are
compelled to read the Incubator

Now, Tom Fullery, we'll bet a
dime
That you cannot make a rhyme,
That people could read the second

Without laughing-at the way you
fix
Your features, when you play your
tricks,
And get all tangled in a mix.
