THOUGHT WOMAN
STOLE HIS MONEY
FROM HIS STOCKINGS
But Finds Himself Mistaken
Also Finds His Money-Jo-
seph Sargent, Spanish War
Veteran, after Passing Night
in Town, Thinks Himself Vic
timized but Later Changes
His Mind

Joseph H. Sargent, Spanish War vet
eran from the National Home at Togus,
furnished the attraction Tuesday morning
ct the municipal court, and upon bis ar
raignment promised the audience which
had assembled with a recital OF the de-
tails from q chapter in real life that
would at least prove interesting II not
instructive. The story was interesting
enough to suit those who heard it but
because Of subsequent developments it
fell very fiat and robbed the court room
habitues of choice bit Of gossip.
Sargent was arraigned on the charge
Of intoxication. and contrary to the usual
custom pleaded not guilty. The majority
Of unfortunates who are rounded up on
that charge admit their guilt and take
their chances, but in the case of the
man mentioned above his plea of not
guilty necessitated the presence in court
Of the officer who made the arrest, and
as that was Officer Corbett of the night
police the case had to be continued until
afternoon. But that did not prevent Sar-
gent from telling his tale of woe to the
court.
According to his statement he went to
Monday evening and gave the matron
g for room for the night. After re-
cital of various details concerning his al
legged experiences at the hotel he con-
cluded his tale by saying that between /
and o'clock Tuesday morning the wo-
man came to his room, took two $40 bills
from his stocking and flew the COOP"
That was as far as the matter pro-
crossed at the morning session Of the
court and the story as told awakened
more or less sympathy on the part of
the audience that one of Uncle Sans de-
tenders should be so victimized. Some
Of them hoped that the fair but tickle
charmer would be captured and relieved
Of her ill-gotten gains-for the attrac-
ton which it would furnish in court, if
for no other reason. Sargent was then
remanded to his cell to await the coming
of the AFTERNOON.
When the man was brought into court
in the afternoon it was evident at once
that a change had come over the spirit
Of his dreams. for as soon as he had the
opportunity he changed his plea of not
guilty and said that he was guilty and
as for the rest of the matter he was
willing to let it drop. The case was then
disposed Of by the court giving the re-
spondent sentence of 30 days in Jail,
but sentence was, however, suspended.
1t developed after the hearing that Sar-
gent did not lose $40 as he claimed, as
he found it in the sleeve of his shirt.

SEED POTATOES
Continued from Page Ten)

in our seed trade as has varietal mix
lures. There is no question but that.
disease is cutting into the production Of
potatoes of Maine to a much greater
extent than many growers suppose.
There are several Of these which are
not so very serious but each will take
its toll If loss in yield per acre and
the sum total makes very good re-
duction. Rhizoctonia, Blackleg and
Bacterial Wilt are three at least which
a great many growers pay but little at
tention to, each of which cuts down
the yield and the sum total of the three
makes the difference between profit
and loss to more fields than is general
ly supposed.
Thirteen years ago the writer spent
the summer carrying on potato ex-
periments at Caribou and at that time
Mosaic was unknown in the county
but has spread since over the whole
State. there being but few fields of the
Green Mountain variety in 1915 which
were free from it. 1t does not seem as
yet to affect the Irish Cobbler to any
great extent but the Red Bliss. a pota-
to Of similar vine growth. has been
it. From the writer's observation it is
thought that there are hundreds of
acres of the Green Mountain varieties
in which the yield was cut down 40
per cent the past season by Mosaic
alone. Many farmers suffering this
loss did not even know what to
ascribe their poor yield to. This is one
OF the diseases that the growers need
instruction on and is one of the hard
est to control with the present knowl-
edge Of it. At present there does not
seem to be any way Of combating it
except by selection Of those hills which
show no traces Of it and saving the
product Of these for the next seasons
planting.
"A more general knowledge of the
value of the high producing individuals
found in any variety over the run of
the field with a better understanding of
the potato disease mentioped- above
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-19

will greatly help the work of the seed
Improvement association and this de-
partment.
Some few fields of the Green Noun
tain varieties were found in Central
Maine that were free Of Mosaic, and it
Is expected that in the season of 1916
what fields are found in the State free
OF this disease will be in the Central
Maine section.
1T seems probable that a further
study along this line will become of
very great Importance the coming sea
son. and with the cooperation Of DR..
Morse. plant pathologist, at Orono,
who Is very much interested and has
extended this Office and the Seed I'M
provement Association all the aid, pos
slble, 1t is hoped that all of the fields
entirely. free of this disease may be
located and il true to variety be kept
within the State for our own farmers
to plant. The work this year should
be made more self sustaining and the
price per acre for inspection has been
raised by vote Of the executive COM
mittee of the Maine Seed Improvement
Association"
