sary precautions that may be decided
necessary.
This rust is found to be partial to
current and goQseberry bushes as well
as the white pine and great care is
being taken to prevent it's introduce
ton into this State. A good descrip-
ton Of the disease is said to be in
Gazing 1t "girdle under the bark"

old chestnut blight, one being q soft
wood disease and the other a hard

mr.. Senior Objects

Governor Curtis had hardly finished
the question Does anyone appear to
object?' before woman was on her
feet and announced that she did. She
said she was Mrs. Martha Senior. wife
Of the prisoner. and that Stephen SEN
Tor was not worthy man to be at large,
not a worthy husband. not q worthy
father. She knew because OF her %
years of married life with him. She
had worked and cared for both. while
he had drunk and gambled away all he
had and what he could get from her.
He had done it in Lawrence and Provi-
dence and she had been obliged to come
to Maine. where he followed and did
the same. II released she had other
evidence Of his wrong-doings which she
would produce against him. This offence
was not the first against his daughter,
but she could prove other cases. Not
living with him now-I divorced him.

erations in Lawrence and Portland hos
pitals on account Of his inhuman abuse.

The matter was then considered in

Gil meeting.

Yours sincerely,
Governor Curtis carefully read and
reread the above correspondence and
on Wednesday sent the following let
ter:
Mr.. Charles E. Davis,
Chairman Dog Fish Commission.
30 Quincy ST., Portland, Me.
Dear Sir:-I have evidence in my
possession that articles 1 presume
written by you regarding droves Of
dogfish on the shores of Maine have
caused an uneasiness in the minds Of
many people who were intending to
spend their summer on the Maine
coast, and in fact some of them have
given up their engagements under the
impression that here are large droves
Of dogfish in the bays and harbors
which are dangerous to bathers and
those who enjoy water sports.
If the Dogf1sh Commission is re-
sponsible for such newspaper articles,
1 consider that they have caused a
great detriment to the interests of the
State Of Maine, as of course such mis-
representation of the danger Of the
dogfish to the people is entirely mis-
leading and uncalled for, and also it
will not help the dogfish question in
anyway by such miserable representa-
tons.
The administration is willing to do
everything it can to help along the
dogf1sh question, but it cannot allow
any such exaggerations as have been
in evide1ce of late.
Very truly yours,
OAKLEY c. CURTIS, .
Governor
April - 1915

Gen. Presson Approves
The Citizens Rifle Clubs,

The attention of Adjutant General
Presson was called to the great guam
tity of printed matter being sent out
from Washington by the promoters of
the citizens rifle clubs, calling atten-
ton to the fact that Uncle Sam has
100000 Krag rifles and 3O,0OO,000 cart
sued to regularly formed rifle clubs.
Said the general:
mo necessity of sending to Wash
ington for the rifles and ammunition.
We have plenty of everything needed
for the want of citizens rifle club and
many Of them, right here in our. mill
tary storehouse. We have QUILTED a
goodly number in Maine and expect
to outfit many more. All that is nee
essary is to organize, present the appli-
cation to the adjutant generals office
at Augusta and that department will
see that an outfit is at once placed at
the service of the club.
Il personally approve most heartily
of these rifle clubs and think they will
do great work in arousing the proper
spirit among our young men and assist
materially in preparing them for the
possibilities that we are now facing. 1t
is good idea and our young men will
do we'll to take advantage of the op-
portunity to become good shots at an
expenditure of little time and no ex-
pense.
These citizens rifle clubs become
affiliated with the National Rifle Asso-
citation and the following from recent
letter received from that organization
tells clearly the object of this move
ment to induce the young Americans to
become proficient marksmen:
The object Of the National Rifle AS
ISOLATION Is to encourage marksman-
ship throughout the United States, par
ticularly in the direction of qualifying
as finished marksmen those individuals
who may be called upon to serve in
time of war; to encourage competition
in craftsmanship between teams and
individuals; to encourage legislation
for the establishment and maintenance
OF ranges; to secure the issue of mill
tary rifles and ammunition to those
practicing on these ranges, and to cree
ate public sentiment in respect to the
necessity Of rife practice as a means
Of national defence.

LOOK AFTER YOUR,
NOMINATION PAPERS

Unless candidates for nomination at the
primary elections speed up the work OF
preparing and fling their primary nomt-
nation papers. there will be great many
disappointed candidates for nomination
in the State early in the month Of May.
A very small proportion Of the nomina-
ton papers to be fled have been receiv-
ed at the department Of State. despite
the fact that all such nomination papers
must be. in the department not later than
May 1 If the nominations are to be valid.
Any paper which is received at the de-
partment of State later than May l will
not be accepted. The department will
by May and will not consider the date
Of posting.
Section Of the primary law reads:
"No such nomination papers shall be
signed before the first day of January
of the year in which such primary cleo
ton is to be held and all such nomina-
ton papers shall be filed with the secre-
tary of State on or before the first Mon
day of May of said year. With such
nomination papers there shall also be
filed the consent in writing Of the persons
so proposed thereby as candidates, agree
ing to accept the nomination If nominal
ed at the primary election, to qualify as
such officer"
To be well guarded against the posi-
bility Of errors in the nomination pa
pers, which might sinvalidate them, can
didates should file them before the mid
die of April in order that they may have
time in which to correct mistakes which
the department of State may discover
and report. Scores Of papers already re-
ceived have been found to be incorrect
It is not safe to wait until the last day
of April before mailing a nomination pa
per to be filed. Even If it reaches the
State department in due time it may be
found incorrect or wanting in some par
ticular and the candidate loses.

How We Can Increase
Our Weight

THIN people. particularly those who
are ten pounds or more under
normal weight. and who would
like to put on some good healthy stay
there flesh will be glad to know that
such result is often made possible by
merely enabling the system to extract
and assimilate a greater proportion of
the flesh and fatmaking elements in our
daily meals.
It's said that while thin people eat
enough the greater portion of the flesh
making nourishment of their food goes
right through their bodies as waste be-
cause their assimilative organs are de-
fective and cannot absorb them.
To correct such defect and to get
100 per cent strength and flesh making
efficiency from your food try taking a
little Sargol with meals for a few
weeks.

question is simply the length Of time
for which a man should be detained in

the circumstances, Norton has been
