Use for Extra Table Leaves

Dear Madam-There arc so many things that
one would like to keep in the dining room that
there hardly seems to be room for on the side
board or serving table-the chRfng dish, toaster.
extra flower bowls, etc. A friend OF mine solved
this problem by using her extra table leaves.
She had a framework made, two ladderlike ends
Joined by long piece OF wood. the whole thing
stained like the leaves and laid two of the extra
leaves across this, one over the other. II made
two long shelves across one end OF the dining
room that could be used for a number OF things.
Bookcases could be made in the same way for
the living room, II one seldom used the leaves.

for instance, with our grandfathers in the
use of the rod as a means of not spelling
the child, and with our grandchildren in
eugenics and birth control. Here Is how
Doctor La Rue explains It:
Wisely used. corporal punishment has its
place. God evidently believes in 1t, as wit
ness the many corporal punishments he in
hcts on us, His children Whenever leg
islators pass a law prohibiting teachers
from using corporal punishment at school
they should follow 1t with another prevent
ing parents from administering such punish
ment at home. Neither law should be
passed; but one is as logical as the other,
and both are necessary II we wish really to
make the experiment of abollphing corporal
punishment.
BIRTH CONTROL AND ITS CONVERSE
'As for birth control, there is nothing
which the human race can control but
which It ought not to control. At present
the passion of love Unfortunately multi
plies the race and the passion of hate
blindly divides and destroys 1t. Both these
passions must submit to reason. We want
both birth control and death control.
The woman who wants many children,
however, and has them. does not, In Doctor
La Rue's opinion necessarily sacrifice quail
ity to quantity.
"It depends on what else she does" he
said. 1T is quite possible for a mother to
bear eight. or even ten, children of prime
quality. But she should be supported sim
ply as a mother-one might even say, as
breeder not responsible even for the up
bringing of her own brood The average
mother OF eight or ten children most GER
tainly sacrifice quality to quantity. But
why should any woman feel II her duty
to be so prolific? OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES at
least-state that the mothers physiological
equilibrium Is so upset by bearing a child
that we cannot count on its being restored
pa N In less than tbraA The cOn-
clusion as to frequency of births Is obvious.
FATHERS PART IN TRAINING
What part in the training of the child
should the father take2" he was asked.
"If most of us men would keep ourselves
free from whiskey, tobacco, swear words
and other immoralitles" he replied, ''and
treat our wives as respectfully as we want
our sons to treat their mothers. the women
of the country would experience such glow
of delighted surprise that they would hardly
ask for further cooperation. Then let the
OF his leisure at least, for the surest way
to get an education is to live with some
body better than yourself Further. as he is
the provider for the family, he should make
his house home by providing, wholesome
home occupation Groceries should not all
he at the store, but partly in the pantry
Education should not all be at school, but
lodged also in the library and the living
room at home.
TRUTH ABOUT SEX
Doctor La Rue believes emphatIcally In
telling children the truth in regard to mat
ters of sex.
IT would give them this truth as fast as
they were ready to receive it. Our eight
year-old boy has never asked us question
on sex that we have not answered to the
best OF our ability. He thinks no more OF

Telephone Sale Authorized

The Public Utilities Commission
Wednesday rendered a decision grant
ing the petition Of the Raymond &
Webbs Mills Telephone Co. to sell GER
tain Of it's property to the Poland Tel
ephone Co. The decision says in part:
This is petition by the Raymond
& Webbs Mills Telephone Co. for au-
thority to sell, transfer and assign to
the Poland Telephone Co. all it's tele
phone lines, wire, apparatus, right Of
way franchises and privileges of every
name and nature in the towns Of Ray
mond and Casco in the county of Cum
berland, in which petition the Poland
Telephone Co. joins and requests au-
thority to purchase the above named
property.
Each company is public utility un-
der jurisdiction of this commission, the
Raymond & Webbs Mills Telephone Co.
serving locally certain subscribers in
the two above named towns. The Po-
land Telephone Co. is somewhat of a
competitor, and it was stated at the
hearing that the public interest as well
as the desire Of the two companies de-
manded that the Raymond & Webbs
Mills Telephone Co. should retire from
the field. Statement was also made
that the Poland Telephone Co. could
give better service and if it entered the
field now occupied by the Raymond &
Webbs Mills Telephone Co., it could not
only increase the business and accom-
odate a larger public but give a char
acter of service which is impossible
for the Raymond & Webbs Mills Tele-
phone Co. to give. Each company filed
with the commission certified copies
of votes authorizing the purchase and
sale together with a copy Of the pro-
posed instrument and transfer. The
price agreed upon is 5000, which the
representative of the Poland Co. stated
was no more or less than fair.
IF, as satisfactorily appears, there
Is not business enough for each of these
two utilities, it is desirable from every
viewpoint that one should retire, and
it is evident in this case that the pub
lie being served, as we'll as the two
utilities recognize this fact and have
taken what seems to be the only means
of remedying the existing situation.

Prohibition Nominations

The appearance Of the names of the
Prohibition candidates upon the OFF,
cial State ballot for the September
election depends upon the expedition
which Is used in getting the petitions
for these candidates into the office or
the secretary Of State. Thursday, Aug.
10, is the time limit for placing names
upon the official ballot for the Sep
TENDER election and Secretary OF State
Bunker has ruled that only those Pc
titions Of candidates that arrive at the
department Of State in season for be-
ing checked up before the close Of the
office at P. M. will be accepted.
The Prohibitionists having polled
less than l per cent. of the vote cast
in the entire State for Governor were
not entitled to participate in the pri-
maries and consequently the candi-
dates Of this party must be placed on
the ballot Of the regular State elec-
ton by petition. The prohibitionists
held a convention July 81 at Water
vile at which candidates for Cover
nor, State auditor, United States SEN
ators and congressman were nomi-
mated. The work Of securing the nee
essary signatures for nominating
these candidates by petition was
started Immediately after the conven-
ton and it is understood that the pc
titions for the several candidates will
be forwarded Monday to the depart
ment Of State.

"REMINISCENCES
OF HAMLIN'S VISIT
=. TO KENTS HILL

Kent's Hill. Maine, August 9-(Speciai)
The recent presentation to Kents Hill
Seminary of a picture of Sampson Hail.
taken more than so years ago, brings to
the mind of DR.. Moses c. Stone, retired
physician living in Wellesley, Mass, a
stirring incident in connection with the
dedication of that widely known dormi-
tory. The occasion was made especially
notable by the unexpected presence Of
Hannibal Hamlin, former United States
senator and vice President when Lincoln
was President.
The dormitory was dedicated in the
summer or early fall of 1861, so that 1t
was right in the midst of the presidential
campaign. DR.. Stone was a student at
Kent's Hill at the time and recalls tia
there were many speakers present, in
GLIDING the late DR.. Henry p. Torsey.
The exercises were held on the campus In
front of the building. AS the spec ches
were nearly over. somebody saw L tall.
distinguished looking man. wearing a
long linen buster, standing way back in
the crowd. He was recognized as Hun
nibal Hamlin.
"Hamlin. Speech. Hamlin," was the call
that was quickly taken up by every one IN
the big crowd.
The brilliant statesman slowly went
forward to the platform, took off his linen
buster and made a remarkable speech.
He didn't talk politics but education, and
was wildly cheered for nearly half an
hour. He had no preparation because
neither the President of the school nor
anybody else knew this powerful factor
in the nations life was to be there He
was living in Bangor at the time, a.
though he was born in Paris. 1t was only
a few weeks later that the leader from
Maine, who died in 1891 at the age o. 81
years, was elected vice President
Dr. Stone, who told this fascinating
anecdote to a reporter, is a brother of
Frank P. Stone, a Norway druggist; Of
the late DR.. Cyrus Stone. for 25 years a
prominent Maine clergyman; and of the
late George w. Stone of Jay, who served
as representative In the Maine Legisla-
ture and also as senator from Franklin
county All were Kent's Hill graduates.
Dr. Stone also graduated from Bowdoin
College. as did his brothers, Cyrus and
George, while his brother. Frank P.
Stone, is an alumnus of the University
of Maine DR.. Stone began medical prac-
tice at Blue Hill. after going to NsT-
burg, n. Y. where he was a close friend
