Gardiner Brunswick
Trunk via Pond Road

Announcement was made Thursday
by the Maine State Highway Commits
sion that it had decided to locate the
Gardiner Brunswick Trunk line high
way by the so-calied Post road or
Pond road route. This will be of
great interest to many people, part of
whom will be highly pleased at the
selection and the balance much dis
appointed.
It will be remembered that the road
was originally laid out over the So
called River road running for a great
part of it's course beside or near the
Kennebec river. This was later
changed by the commission to the
Pond route. to which the large ma
jority Of the residents of the towns
through which 1t passed appeared to
object and insisted on another hear
ing, at which they promised to bring
out the River road adherents. who
ed at the other hearing. This was
granted and the hearing held in the
Hall Of Representatives at the State
House on Thursday, Jan. 20. last.
The hearing was largely attended
the biggest crowd being present re-
membered for many years at such all
occasion. The matter was ably ar
gued by counsel. many witnesses be-
ing present to present the attractions
and qualifications OF their proposed
routes for the Trunk line. A third
route also was proposed. taking in
part Of the Pond route and also fav-
oring a little more the people living
over toward Lewiston.
The commission has been delayed
considerably in rendering its decision
by the condition of the ground. which
made it for some time practically i'm
possible to make the necessary inves-
legations, but that part Of the work
was finally accomplished and the de-
cision made as stated.

Powdery Scab Stamps
Give Treasury STOOL

Powdery scab inspection by the Fed
eral Horticulture Board conducted dur
ing 1913 and 1914 in Aroostook county
and other localities infested with the
powdery scab was paid for by selling
stamps at 81 apiece, which covered the
inspection of single carload. The use
of these stamps is being recalled by the
recent receipt by Commissioner of Ag-
riculture Guptill of a check of $1OO12S
from the Houlton Trust Co.
The circumstances were these: At
the time of the removal of this inspec-
ton from Aroostook county to Portland,
just before it's final abandonment, these
stamps had been sold to the amount of
nearly $4,000. The federal inspector,
Blair w. Clark, gave Commissioner of
Agriculture Guptil1 instructions to draw
a check and deposit with the State
treasurer for practically the entire
amount to meet the payroll.
The commissioner did as he requested
and when the check reached Houlton.
the president of the bank, w. A Martin,
protested its payment The commits
sioner Immediately wired the Federal
Horticulture Board at Washington to
take care Of the situation which the
commissioner depositing the check
with the State treasurer had created.
The checks were returned to the
state treasurer that had been issued
by him to the extent of the check that
the commissioner had withdrawn on
the Houlton Trust Co. thereby reliev-
ing the situation and also leaving the
entire fund that had been accumulate
ed by the sale nf STA in, ha
ton Trust Co. deposited to his credit.
The commissioner learned from Mr.
Martin that his protesting of that
check was due to the fact that there
was a large supply of stamps in the
hands of prospective users at the time
that the Federal Horticulture Board
abandoned the inspection in Aroos-
took. Those stamps have been re-
deemed out of this fund and there is
still left to the credit of the commits
sioner of agriculture the check recent
ly received by him to the amount of
s1001.2s.
This fund has been derived direct
ly from the potato industry of the
county" says the commissioner, and
do not feel it within my province
to designate in exactly what way it is
to be spent. So after consulting with
Gov. Curtis, 1 have decided to deposit
1t with the State treasurer in a sepa-
rate fund and ask the Legislature to
provide for State expenditure. Of
course this money should in all JUS
tice be spent exclusively for the bene-
fit of the potato interest in Aroostook
county"

"Ad" Promises Not Kept
Are Fraud, U. S. Supreme
Court Declares in Decision

Washington. D. c., April 25.-in de-
fining more clearly than ever before
what constitutes dishonest advertising
by mail. the supreme court held, in
effect, that advertisers even though
they give purchasers value received
for their money, are guilty of fraud
if by exaggerated advertising pro-
paganda they have led clients to eX-
pect more.
Officials declare the decision will
pave the way to scores of prosecutions
and make possible the enforcement of
a much more stringent federal super
vision of mail advertising.
Justice McKenna reversed the dis
trict court in Southern Florida, which
quashed an indictment against officials
of the New South Farm and Home
Company. The indictment charged
unlawful use of the mails in selling
ten-acre farms. The Florida court
held that If a purchaser received his
moneys worth exaggerated propa-
ganda was not fraud.
