Charities and Corrections

II is interesting to note that another
Maine matter is considered outside the
State as a decided advance on the ques-
ton in hand compared with what other
states have done, and that our method
of controlling the public solicitation Of
money for charitable purposes. Gov
erhor Curtis recommended such law
in his message at practically the same
time it was recommended by the Char
tiles and Corrections Commission. The
latter, with that backing Immediate
ly'drafted measure, which was pass
ed by the Legislature at the last ses-
sion providing for the licensings of all
persons who acted in that capacity, be-
ing Chapter 2, Public Laws 1915. The
licensing is in the hands of the State
Board OF Charities and Corrections and
a license is good for a period of one
year Persons may solicit funds in their
own municipality. without such license,
though subject to any regulations of
their own municipal officers. When
ieaving their own home, a State license
is required Certain out-of-the State
charitable Institutions may be licensed
without fee when the board is salts
red that il is reputable and has suit
able facilities for applying the funds
oahe purpose for which they were So
licited.
The endorsement secretaries of the
chambers of commerce of many cities
are of course directly and much inter-
ested in this method of raising funds
for charitable purposes and held sew
eral meetings at the recent Interna-
tional Conference of Charities and Cor
fectons at Indianapolis. Learning of
the Maine law, which is alone in the
United States as a measure dealing with
Inc matter, they Invited Sec. j. F. Bag
ley Of the Maine board to attend their
sessions and he was closely and at
length questioned as to it's workings.
lie was enabled to make such state
Mehts to them as to it's efficiency and
value that the Maine law was finally
pronounced as decidedly valuable
piece OF advanced legislation. 1t will
undoubtedly be heard from in it's applI-
ea1on or adoption by other states.

Lookout Station for
Ossipee Hill Assured

Frank +. Mace of Augusta, State
forest commissioner, has recently re-
turned from a trip to York county
and is enthusiastic over the erection
OF a lookout station ON Ossipee hill
in the town of WATERFORD. Commits
sloner Mace has written the following
letter to J. G. Peters, chief of the state
cooperation of the Forest Service at
Washington, d. c.:
IN accordance with our previous
conversations in regard to co-opera-
ton from the government with the
towns and private individuals in Maine
outside Of the forestry districe, ! beg
to advise that the towns of WATERFORD
Shapleieh. Alfred and Limerick have
voted $50 each and the citizens there
have raised 500, making $500 in all
and they wish to erect a lookout sta
ton on Ossipee hill in the town of
WATERFORD
Il have recently visited that section
OF the State and find it an excellent To-
cation, overlooking large area OF
country well timbered. The cost OF
a lookout station and connecting il
by telephone will be about s4OO
Il would suggest that a lookout sta
ton be built by the selectmen Of the
town of WATERFORD, they to use the
$500 they have raised and the govern
ment could assist them to the extent
OF 500, leaving the balance of 5000 to
pay for lookout service during the re-
mainder of the season.

to $3.50 for patrol service, the patro
to cover not only their forest land bu,
also the timberlands in that town."

season is considerably earlier than
last year.
There was shipped from the B. & A
station at Caribou during the past
week SO cars of potatoes as follows:
Thursday cars: Friday cars: Sat
urday cars; Monday cars; Tuesday
Z cars: Wednesday cars.
People arriving in Bangor on Thurs
Gay from Aroostook county stated that
conditions there in regard to plant
ing are much more advanced than in
this vicinity. The weather has been
rather cool for some weeks, but there
has been but little rain and the far
mers have been able to get in their
grain and potatoes to good advantage.
Fort Fairfield-Both Irish Cobblers
and Green Mountains in the Fort Fair
field market are going at from 1925
to $3.50, as they have been for several
days past. Very few, however, are
coming, as the farmers are too busy
planting, sowing, narrowing. plowing
and rolling to attend to marketing
potatoes now.
With the pleasant weather during
the past week the Aroostook farmers
have planted the majority OF their po-
tato crop. According to the best
available information the crop will be
10 per cent less than the 1915 crop.
There are STILL in the vicinity of
Houlton. several thousand barrels of
potatoes held by farmers who are
playing the "watchful waiting" game
for $500 barrel. The price this
week has been ranging around 1925 t.
$2.35 barrel. The Bangor and
Aroostook delivered 177,257 bushels OF
potatoes to Northern Maine Junction,
from May 9Th to the 18th inclusive.
Potato shipments from Houlton:
May cars; May 10 II cars; May II
no cars; May - cars; May 10 9 cars
May Is cars.
Pressure Isle Star Herald-While
the Eastern grower is not interested
in potatoes grown ir California, it is
interesting to note that in this state
potatoes are planted and harvested
every month in the year with the ex-
ception of October. The total aver
age for 1915 in California was $4,000
with total production of 10.140.00o
bushels. the equivalent of 3.6S7,o73
barrels Of eleven pecks.

Reporting Railroad Accidents

ly received the attention of the Maine
Public Utilities Commission:
Reporting Railroad Accidents
The Public Utilities Commission
Monday issued an order that all steam
and electric railroads shall comply
with the rules adopted by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission govern
ing monthly reports of railroad acct
dents and that the order will become
effective on and after June 80, 1916.
The following is the order:
This Commission has again under
consideration the matter of report
ing by public utilities of accidents re-
sulting in loss of human life, and acct
dents resulting in injury to person or
damage to property. At this time we
are especially considering the report
ing Of such accidents by steam and
electric railroads.
The Utilities Act provides that each
public utility is required to file with
this commission under such rules and
regulations as we prescribe reports of
accidents in the manner and form des-
| ignated by the Commission. Over a
year ago we prescribed rules and reg
uldllOIlS anu ScHl Oul lOIHlS lOI Tie
reporting of accidents of various kinds
| by all utilities. Somewhat recently
the steam railroads have urged upon
the Commission the advisability of our
adopting the forms and practices of
the Inter state Commerce Commission
in the matter of reporting accidents,
and upon February 23rd, at confer
ence between the New England Public
Utilities and Public Service Commits
sions and representatives of the sew
eral New England steam railroads, the
matter was brought up for considera
ton and discussed at considerable
| length.
1T was shown that upon July 1,
1915, after an exhaustive study of the
matter, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission had adopted rules and forms
relating to the matter of the reporting
cidents, and it was suggested that in
asmuch as each steam railroad in the
State of Maine was under the juris-
diction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and obliged to report all
accidents in accordance with the rules
Of that commission, it made an un-
necessary duplication and involved I'M
necessary labor if the same railroad
with reference to the same accident
had to make a different kind of a re-
port on a different kind Of blank to
this state commission.
1T was also urged that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission form of
accident report has already been
adopted by the state commissions Of
New York, Pennsylvania. West Vir-
ginia. Wisconsin. South Dakota, Kan
sas, Colorado, louisiana, Texas, CAL
| ifornia, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho,
and that in all probability within the
next few months such forms will be
adopted by practically all the states.
I'VE believe that thr rules and forms
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion should be adopted SO far as they
comply with the plain requirements Of
our utilities law and in so far as they
properly fit existing conditions and
necessities Of this State. In two i'm

POTATO NOTES

Caribou Republican-The weather
continues cool most Of the time, really
cold some of the time, usually with
north winds but with winds from
somewhere nearly every day and night.
These days are not such as to put the
spring and crops ahead rapidly, but
they are good for working teams and
men, so that farming is going con
rapidly. Many potatoes are being
planted, while. a large amount Of
grain is already in. Some farmers
have finished planting their potato
toes, and also grain, while some are
hardly under Roadway as yet. The

HOT WATER AND "ANURIC" -
BEFORE MEAIS.-AND HEALTH

IAN people in America and especially
those who are past middle age are prone
to eat too much meat and in consequence
deposit lime-salts in their arteries, veins
and joints. They often suffer from
twinges of rheumatism or lumbago, some
times from govt, swollen hand or feet.
Such people are not always able to exer-
else sufficiently In the outdoor air or
drink enough pure water in order to
sweat freely and excrete impurities
through the skin. DR.. Pierce has con-
Quoted experiments and thoroughly test
ed a. uric acid solvent at his Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute which he Is
convinced is many times more potent
than lithia-this he named "Anuric" 1t
can be had at almost all drug stores by
simply asking for DR.. Pierce's Anuric for
kidneys or backache. 1t will overcome
such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to
constant need Of getting out of bed at
