WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

Hon. Edgar A. Russ of Dexter, the
State deputy sealer Of weights and
measures, during the past year in his
official capacity visited the Bangor
State Hospital. the Augusta State
Hospital, the University of Maine at
Orono. the States prison at Thomas
ton, the Central Maine Sanatarium at
Fairfield, the State School for Girls
at Hallowell, the Western State Sana-
tarium at Hebron. the Maine School for
the Deaf at Portland. the Bath Mill
tary and Naval Orphan Asylum, the
State School for Boys at South Port
land and the Maine School for Feeble
Minded at Pownal.
1.-The conditions found in some Of
these institutions may explain the high
cost of maintenance, says Mr.. Russ
in his annual report which was recent
ly made public. Sealer Russ observa-
lions are as follows:
AT the Western Maine Sanatarium
at Hebron, I found the scales used in
weighing drugs to be absolutely useless
so far as weighing drugs is concerned
| and not in any way satisfactory to
the parties obliged to use them. An
for checking up small goods as was
the set Of spring scales in the barn
worthless. A test was given the heavy
| hay scales over which they were check
| ing coal at my visit were found to be
all right as were the platform scales
used in re-weighing and checking their
groceries.
'At the Central Maine Sanatarium
in Fairfield. I found but two sets Of
scales, one being set of Jones' scales
| used for hospital purposes and small
set of family scales used in the store
to check up goods used in the kitchen.
The type of scales used there is of
the same type that is generally con-
demned. find no system of checking
goods received at that institution.
AT the State school for Girls at Hal
lowell, l found four sets of scales
| which. had they been used in any store
! in Maine unless by accident they had
escaped sight of the local dealer, would
have been condemned. The platform
scales passed inspection as did the
brass faced spring balances used in
the barn for the purpose Of weighing
the milk, and one small scope scale.
They have no facilities whatever for
weighing or checking up their coal.

with a string to the balance ball and
hung down the post leading from the
platform to the beam. The value Of
that manner of balancing scales Is
somewhat fictitious. An experiment Of
those conditions has resulted in the
conclusion that scales balanced with
articles hung on the balance ball back
of the ball has a tendency to increase
the weight of the article on the plat.
form after it has reached a certain
number of pounds. A small set Of
scoop scales also used in the ston
were found to be considerably out Of
balance, but might possibly be made to
do service for some time after being
oyerhauled by an expert scale man
The platform scales in the engineers
room were found to be in prime condi.
ton. Excellent care is taken OF them
and If injured at all for some years to
come will be caused by the desire Of
those in attendance to keep them clean

stitution.
1.-THE Maine School for Feeble Minded
at Pownal had four sets Of scales: Al
small set Of counter scales found ta
be all right; and set Of platform
scales used in the grain-room were all
right; a set Of scales used in the store
were old and much corroded, much out
of balance and worthless. An effort Is
being made by this institution to keep
close tabs on everything purchased for
the institution, which they are unable
to do with any degree Of accuracy with
the weighing devices they now have.

FISH AND GAME

Another peculiar bobcat bounty case
came to the attention of the Inland Fish
and Game Commission on Wednesday
when a letter was received accompanied
by a box containing a choice collection
of hair and bones, alleged to have been
part of a bobcat, for which the claim
ant wished to secure the bounty of 81.
The remnants of Mr.. Bobcat were con-
tanned in small box labeled on top
"Peau D'Espagne" soap. "Phew"
would have fitted the case much better
for you could almost hear those rem
nants, SO strong were they. They con-
sisted of three paws, hitched to about
four or five inches each of bone and de-
caying f1esh and a little tuft of black
and white hair, which was said to be all
that remained of the tail Animals had
devoured the rest while bob was in a
trap. 1t was reported killed sometime
in March. No one doubts that the date
named is late enough.
The letter from Frank w. Kingsley,
town treasurer of East Machias. says
the claimant is Frank o. Elsemore of
the same place. The killing of the bob
cat is reported to have taken place in
Plantation Is, Washington county.
Mr.. Kingsley says: 1.-THE claimant has
exhibited to me all that remained of the
bobcat.' He later says in explaining the
condition: After the body of the said
cat had been subjected to natural decay
and the depredations of other animals
while lying in a trap. 1 further certify
I am forwarding in separate package all
that remained of the tail Of the cat"
The remains are not of much value for
any purpose, even for fertilizer.
1t was learned Wednesday through Ar
thur Jewett, bookkeeper for the COM
mission, that $1s76 of the $1,000 appropria-
tion for bounties on bobcats for the cur
rent year has been spent, therefore 81
more claims will exhaust it. Mr.. Jewett
also says that since he has been with
the department, since 1909. to April /,
1916. inclusive, 1884 claims for bounty on
bobcats have been paid by the State, at
a total expense of s1O,79s.

WILSON WINS
AS The Times Goes to Press Indications
Are He Has 269 Electors
VOL. 43

As we go to press President Wilson
is in the lead with incomplete re-
turns from Minnesota, California,
North Dakota, Oregon and West Vir-
ginia to hear from.
Wilson is conceded to have 254 of
the electoral votes and Hughes 234.
Wilson needS IL more votes or 266 to
elect him.
In Minnesota Wilson has lead of
S12 votes with 627 precincts out of
1924 to hear from. Ii he holds his
lead here he will have IL more cleo
toral votes, enough to elect.
California's first returns gave
Hughes lead of 5000, but later re-
turns from 1852 precincts out of g.
SIT cut this out and give Wilson a
plurality of 1,499, with, 1855 pre-
cincts not yet reported.
In North Dakota Wilson and
Hughes are running very close with
Hughes leading by about 1000. That
State has five electoral votes.
West Virginia, with 8 electoral
votes, with 500 precincts yet out,
Hughes leads by 1867. This may be
overcome when the returns of the
500 missing precincts are in. Sena-
tor Chiffon declares the State is safe
for Wilson.

The Democrats of st. Francois

that they would put their ticket over,
with ppssibly loss Of one or two,
but they were agreeably surprised at
such a complete and overwhelming
victory as they achieved, without the
loss Of a single man and a gain of ap-
proximately 800 votes over their poll
of two years ago. A hard fight was
made on Lawrence Wells for Assess

A GREAT VICTORY.

THE closest and most holly con-
tested election in thirty-five
years has resulted in a glorious
vindication of President Wilson and
Democratic policies.
One of the most significant and far
reaching facts is that we won without
New York, Illinois and Indiana, old
Republican strongholds where the
moneyed interests have usually domin-
ated the elections.
1t is singing rebuke to the AFRO
CANT assumptions of Wall street that
we could win without New York, and
proves that the people of the nation
are at last realizing their responsible
