ton, in kennebec county. introduced
the extension instructor in poultry
husbandry. William c. Monahan. ana
also Paul w. Monahan. assistant State
leader of farm demonstration work.
Mr.. Monahan spoke briefly on the
Types and Breeds Of Poultry and
gave sound advice in regard to- choice
Of these types.
Mr. Monahan gave instructions on
the Judging and scoring of birds, two
varieties being used to illustrate. the
Barred Plymouth Rocks and Rhode IS

diyidual characteristics of these breedS
each member of the school scored. a

that had been originally planned for
three DAYS had to be done in two the

greatly increased and some OF the
things not so important were gwen

MANY questions asked by the school
were satisfactorily answered the bas-
ket lunch call was given and an ad-

dining room in the hall. where steam

Three important points were brought out
in regard to the housing Of poultry and
the comfort of the birds can only be Sc
cured by the freedom from draughts and
dampness, and giving them sunshine and
ventilation and sufficient floor space.
Paul w. Monohon gave an interesting
talk on lice and mites that infest poultry
houses and gave formula for mixing
lice powder and showed exactly how ii
was done. He then applied some of the
powder to a hen infested with lice and
after it was worked well into the feath-
ers shook the dead lice on a table. The
formula is very easily made, is very eff.

Of Four for
Contraband
Conspiracy

New York, Jan. 14.-Four men and a
woman were indicted today on a charge
of conspiring to violate the customs
laws of the United States by shipping
contraband rubber to Germany.
Those indicted are Edward Weber, a

the Deutschess Bank in Berlin: Paul
Schmidt, Webers partner in the Rub
Der Il Guayule Agency Of this city; Max
Jaeger, a German maker of automobile
accessories. Mrs. Annie Dekkers, a ma
tive of Holland. and Richard WOhlberg,
a naturalized citizen who operates rub
Der and cement factory here. The Guays-
ule agency also is made defendant.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney Harold Content Mrs. Dekkers
was to have been the go-between. Her
sex and the fact that she had been in
the habit Of making frequent trans-At-
lantic trips were relied upon to protect
her from suspicion. The rubber was to
be carried by her as personal baggage,
and in that way would not have to ap-
pear on the Sims manifest.
Four and half tons of rubber were
obtained by the alleged conspirators,
according to MI content, berore the
first attempt at shipment was made. On
Nov. - Mrs Dekkers took passage on
the IIolland-American liner Ryndam.
bound for Rotterdam. She had four
trunks and eight packing cases filled
with rubber which were marked per
sonal baggage. Acting on information
given the customs authorities by Brit
ish agents, Mrs. Dekkers baggage was
held up and she was not permitted to
sail.
The matter was referred to United
States District Attorney Marshall. The
defendants will be arraigned for plead
ing in the federal district court next
