SELLING WASTE PAPER

Governor Curtis less than a year
ago conceived the idea that it would be
good plan as we'll as a good investment
for the State to sell the waste paper that
accumulated in the various departments.
1t had been the habit for years and years
to have the waste paper hauled from the
Capitol building to the State grounds and
there burned. This process cost the State
so cents day for trucking, so Gov. Cur
tbs suggested to Harry A. Plummer, the
superintendent Of buildings. that it would
be good idea to by paper press. So
the paper press was bought at cost Of
s42 and since that time the paper has peen
sold to local junk dealers, the State hav-
ing received thus far the sum of s6514 for
1T. Taking into consideration the fact
that it cost the State so cents day for
carting the paper to the State ground, the
work now being done by the regular State
House employees, the Governor figures
that after paying for the press. the State
of Maine has net gain of $177.14 out of
the transaction.

SHORT WEIGHT BY
SOME PRODUCE DEALERS

Edgar A. Russ of Dexter, State
deputy sealer Of weights and meas
ures. is making an active campaign
against produce dealers who. 1t is al
legged, give short weight.
Until the past sea son, it has been
possible to sell produce in any sized
box" said Sealer Russ, Saturday, land
the consumer never knew whether he
vas getting full measure or less. Quite
early in the season we received COM
plants that the produce bought in
boxes in certain instances did not hold
the number of pounds for which they
were paid. This question was taken
up with the produce dealers with
view of correcting the error which had
Eeen in existence foc some time in our
State The campaign against short
toXes is sure to be quite trying and to
eliminate entirely free from our State
would require much time and expense.
AN investigation of that condition
shows produce would be shipped from
ether states in shor: boxes and dealers
here would sell it as they bought it,"
continued Mr.. Russ. "As far as our
means would allow, the bureau of
weights and measures has done what
it could to protect the public and to
see that the people receive what. they
LAY for. Many dealers in this State
Lave notified foreign shippers that
produce shipped to them in boxes
must comply with our law and that no
short boxes would lie received, and l
feel safe in saying that the use of
short boxes has been greatly reduced
and that by the refusal of our whole
sale dealers to receive Them
Sealer Russ Saturday made a state
ment that the results and importance
of the weights and measures law can
into consideration:
"A manufacturer O; butter sells the
same at 35 cents per pound and on the
average of $40 per cent short weight
n the sale of one ton per month
makes $17.S5 illegal profit; if his out
put is the same each month of the
year. his annual illegal profit is $42S40.
If, out Of the IS creameries in the
State Of Maine Is Ter cent of them
sell cream by weight at the average
price of s1.2S per gallon at a shortage
of weight equivalent to two cents per
gallon, the daily OUTPUT amounting to
100 gallons would show an illegal
lrofit OF $4,000 to one plant alone.
"The butcher including as meat sold
at the extremely low price Of 20 cents
Fer pound, on the average Of one
ounce Of paper and string per pound
on sales Of $50 pounds per day gives
an illegal profit per year of over
$1,000. Many other examples could
be given showing similar situation in
almost all lines of trade"

A new order of events began with
Judge Hanson of Calais presiding at
this term of the supreme court ana no
half-holiday was given on Saturday.
The entire day was taken up in the
trial Of two cattle cases between Cy-
rus E. Walker of Arson and Jerry
Wentworth of that place. 1t seems that
Walker had hired Wentworth to keep
10 head Of cattle for him during the
winter of 1914-15 and agreed to pay
SO a head, when spring came, accord
ing to the testimony. the cattle were
in very poor condition, and Walker
refused to pay for their keep. Went
worth refused to let him take them
without pay and Walker resorted to
legal means to gain possession. This
was done in May, 1915, and when he
attempted to drive them home, wit
nesses testified to some of them fall
ing down through weakness. The
plaintiff was represented by James H.
Thorne and w. 3. Brown Of Madison
and the defendant by Judge C. O.
Small OF Madison.
In the assault case, Wilson Lowe VS..
Frank Langlois of Shawmut, the jury
brought in a verdict of $31 &c for the
plaintiff Friday afternoon.

for $64 given for 40 days and dated July
IL, 1916, was brought by G. H.

FRocK OF SUBMARINE CHIFFON popL1N

Despite their long run. poplns are
meeting with general approval for Au-
tumn wear and will continue their
popularity until some substitute is pro-
vided. They are to be had in both
dress and shiting weights and are
shown in the newest cqlors, one of the
favorites being submarine rich dark
grayish-blue. The frocll shown here
finds eloquent expression in chiffon
poplin, which is very serviceable despite
its lustrous finish. The bodice is trim
med with collar and cuffs Of natural
color orsandy and the two-piece skirt
has inserted side sections forming
pockets.
Chiffon poplin ranges in width, from
SO to 40 inches and about AZ yards will
be required for this dress If duplicated
in medium size. In addition * yard of
organdy will be needed for the collar
and cuffs. and q yard 2-inch betting for
the stay.
The dress can be cut very economi-
cally If the various sections of the pat
tern are advantageously placed on the
poplin. First the material should be
folded in half; then, placed into posi-
ton first is the back gore, right on the
lengthwise fold of the goods Follow
ing this is the collar. and after the col
lar the front gore.
Retracing slightly, the space between
the back and front cores Isl filed with
other sections of the pattern namely.
the piecing for the back gore and the
belt, the former laid on q lengthwlse
thread of the material and the latter
along the selvage edge. SO far there is
practically no surplus material. Now,
skipping 10 the lower edge of the front
gore, the front of the waist is laid on
the poplin, TO the right. Opposite the
back is the inserted side section that
forms the pocket. and following this, as
closely together as they can be placed,
are the cuff and sleeve.
All is now ready for the cutting. ard
when the dress is completed one has
design admirably adapted to girlish
figures.
