WINTHROP LOSES

Boys the Game

Hallowell, Me-. April 19.-(Special).- D.
The first baseball game of the season
was played at Muster grounds at 2.3G
o'clock Patriots day, April 10. In spite
Of the recent rains the two days pre-
vious the grounds were in a fair shape
and a good game was played, and a
good crowd was present to witness the
game. The local team defeated Win
throp High to 2. The game was an
interesting one all the way through
and carried with it many star plays.
For Hallowell Leonard made the only
hit. johnson pitched a strong game
and Watson at second, Arata at center
field and Keene at third base all played
their first game for Hallowell High exc
ceedingly we'll. For Winthrop Wiggin
and Stockford were the star hitters.

When taken out only an expert ex-
aminer would know that print and
page were once separate. Books made
in this way are very beautiful and
much easier to handle than those in

Another stunt" which Miss Shaw
practises is the splitting" of prints
and clippings. This is done in the case,
for instance, of a magazine page,
where it is desired to use both sides.
Miss Shaw can split ordinary maga-
zine paper into at least four thin
films. To split a newspaper clipping Is
for her mere child's LAY. The trick is
done with glue and two pieces Of heavy
cotton goods. Unlike the inlaying, al
most anyone can do it with fair sue
cess. Miss Shaw is also an expert book
binder.

as the most convenient time; also it
was easier travelling, as the journey
had to be made with horses and open
pungs. This required four days with
necessary stops at the wayside inns, in
stead Of the quick trips and luxurious
hotels Of today.
Everything was made ready in the
way Of attire. The pretty silk dress was
as fresh as on the wedding day. the
new homespun was the proper thing
for travelling dress, and by ali sorts
OF saving new cloak and bonnet were
bought and all was complete except a
very necessary set of furs Not only
were they needed for the cold Journey,
put Grandma felt they really were re-
quired to add dignity to her appear
ance. fer she was proud and had al
ways enjoyed dressing well in her
younger days. So she set about making
plans for the furs, and her quick brain
solved the problem. She went among
her friends and procured all the jet
biack kittens she could find There
were 16 in all, and these were fed on
rich milk and cream until their coats
were like satin. In the fall they were
killed. the pelts cured and Grandma
fashioned long victorine, as they were
then called, and muff, and lined them
with rich purple silk which had been
given her many years before by a sea
captain.
Then in December Of 1914 the jour-
ney was taken. On arriving at Cam
bridge her hostess. after greetings were
over. said, Il must ask you to tell me,
Sybil. about your furs. You have writ
ten me SO much about the scarcity of
money that I cannot understand how
you could get such beautiful ones. They
are handsome and as rich as any I've
seen in Boston" So Grandma confessed
that her own pet cats furnished the
furs; but her neighbors. not living very
near, had never seen them and so de-
cided that her rich Massachusetts rela-
t1ves gave them to her, and she never
told them the difference.
II Grandma Cooling had waited two
years she might have worn her furs to
Boston In summer as well as winter,
for the year 1916 has gone down into
history as the "Year without a sum-
mer" The whole of New England suf-
fered tremendously. There was frost
IN every month of the year and no
corn was raised. There was good
sleighing in the latter part of April
and a few warm days in early May
were succeeded by cold so severe that
water froze on the apple trees, causing
the buds to blight. The birds suffered
terribly and many perished. June a
severe snowstorm set in, and this was
followed by such extremely low tenn
perature that vegetation made but
scant progress during the month. When
corn was ready to hoe early in JULY
1t was cut down by the frost and the
winter began with a snowstorm on Oct.
Z. Incidentally December of the same
year was a freak month. Days of in
tense cold were succeeded by periods
OF hot weather, the temperature stand
ing at GO to 78 degrees, and within a
week there would be a variation of 67
degrees. Summer never had a chance
that year.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use, for shampooing, as this can't possi-
ly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t In. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich. creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily.

CREDIT BOARD
ON LAST TRIP
Nine Land Banks For North,
Is Reported.
INDIANA MAY GET ONE

Central West to Get More Banks Ae-
esrdIns to Area and Population Then
Any Other Part Of the Country,
u 10 Said.
Washington, Oct. 17.-Before leav-
Ing on It's second and last trip to
sather information to assist in deter.
mining the boundaries Of the twelve
federal land bank districts, as well as
locations for the banks themselves, the
federal farm loan board practically
decided that nine Of the districts will
be in the north and three In the south.
Thus far the farm loan board has
given but little attention to the places
for the twelve federal land banks. The
board members feel that II is impor-
tant that no mistake shall be made
In subdividing the country into the
twelve districts. but that after a dis.
trict has been created It will not mat.
ter much where In that district the
bank is situated.
Il is practically settled that one dis
trict will embrace the whole Of New
England, another New York state, a
third New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land and West Virginia, . fourth Ohio,
NTH possibly Indiana and. Michigan
and q sixth Illinois. A seventh dis
trict will take in Oregon and Wash
ington and an eighth probably Cali
fornia, Nevada and Utah. This leaves
four districts to be disposed Of. One
Of these probably will embrace ter
ritory along the ldwer Atlantic sea
board. Virginia. North Carolina.
Georgia. South Carolina. and Florida.
A tenth district, IL the plan Of the
board is carried out. will take in the
south central states, and a. eleventh
will include Colorado. Arizona and
New Mexico. and Texas would form .
twelfth district.
This territorial subdivision is pure
ly tentative, but II is fairly certain
that when the board fxes the boun-
daries, the division will be generally
along the lines indicated.
The central west will get more
banks according to area and also 40
cording to population than any other
part of the country because. members
Of the board say. II is the center Of
the agricultural industry. While the
board is making no promises as to
whether a federal land bank will be
established in Indiana. there are ex-
cellent reasons for believing one will
be established in the state. Indiana
polls naturally would be the city
chosen in case the bank goes to In
diana.
