within the specified time should no.
tify the Office at once. At the last
State election some of the clerks did
not notify the department of State of
failure to receive the return blanks.
although the law specified that if they
did not receive them within certain
time they should so notify. The re-
turn blanks in connection with the
Presidential election were sent out
Oct. 16.
The law requires that the return
blanks shall be filled out at the polls
and Immediately sent by mail to the
office of the secretary Of State. They
should not in any case be put in with
the ballots as was done by some towns
at the September election. The first set
of ballots and all ballots used in addi-
ton in the election must be returned
to the department of State by express
and should not be sent by parcel post
nection with the September election.
The express must also be prepaid.
In all 365,000 ballots have been
printed for the first and second sets.
This is smaller number than was sent
out for the September election, as the
law requires that the ballots in a Pres
idential election should be figured in
the vote cast in the last similar" State
election. Should there be any shortage,
which is hardly likely as less vote is
always cast in the Presidential than in
the State election, enough of the Sec
ond set can be used to make up for
the shortage

Forest Commissioner Frank F. Mace,
who is member of the Interstate
Committee for the Suppression Of the
Pine Blister Rust, has received notice
from Secretary Harris A. Reynolds, No.
4 Joy street. Boston, that a meeting of
the committee has been called to take
Mace hopes to be able to attend, as the
pest has become decided menace to
the white pine of this State. Secretary
Reynolds letter said in part:
After consulting with the represen-
tatives OF the Bureau of Plant Indus
try and the authorities at Albany, it
has been decided to call a conference
Of the Interstate committee for the Sup
prssion Of the pine Blister Rust for
Nov. 20 and q at the rooms of the
State Conservation Commission, AL
bany, N. Y, This meeting will be in
conjunction with the men who have
charge Of the work in the several
states and repr esentatives of the Blu
reau Of Plant Industry. The work Of
the summer has shown that the dis
ease has spread very rapidly in the
Eastern states and it's ability to destroy
the native pines has been proved be-
yond any doubt. A program Of the
meeting will be sent you early in No
vember.
This will be a very important meet
ing and many matters will have to be
decided at that time. among them the
question Of legislation and particularly
appropriations from the various states
The question Of quarantine will also
come up"
Said Mr.. Mace:
1.-THE Importance Of early steps to-
ward the suppression Of this pest must
not be lost sight Of. The disease is
here in Maine and must be stamped
out, or we shall lose our native pine.
If the wild currant and gooseberry
bushes which are first attacked and
which spread the disease would only
die. we could count on some relief from
that but the bushes which are affect
ed simply go to sleep in the fall like
the health bushes and awaken in the
spring to continue spreading the dead
ly powder. The pines. when affected,
die and then they in turn help In
spreading the poison powder
II hope to attend the coming confer
ence and I am confident. in any case
that action looking to drastic steps
against the pest will be taken. Maine
must do its part and do it quickly. be-
cause the spread Of the blister rust
has been found to be very rapid and
we already have too much Of it. in our
State"
