of fourteen he entered the Swedish
army and four years later was cap1

him to enter their service and he res

came into notice in the later battles
of the Seven Years war, under FredI

strategy. After his participation al
Waterloo he insisted on having Napo-

prevented this. Bluecher was seventy
when Waterloo was fought and died
four years after the battle In 1919.

The Maine State Board of Assessors
was In session Friday at its Offices at
the State House, the full board being
present. Chairman B. G. McYntire, J..
]. Dearborn and w. F. Dresser. As
SCISSORS from three towns, who had
been unable to attend the regular
scheduled hearings for their counties
were present during the day and were
heard by the assessors In relation to
their valuations. Assessor Noble Max
we'll and Town Clerk c. W. Jack of
Richmond. w. A. Lewis of Perkins and
G. r. Mansir of Pittston were heard.
Henry Crowell of Skowhegan was al
so before the board during the day on
wild land matters.
Chairman McIntire said that the
board would be busy next week in
cleaning up some Of the odds and ends
of the season of obtaining information
for the purpose of making up the
State valuation and then the members
would settle down at the Offices for
six-weeks siege with the figures. The
work Just being closed began on June
20 last, with q meeting at Fryeburg
and has continued uninterruptedly ever
since. He also stated that the board Is
much pleased at the interest shown by
the local assessors in the work and
that never had the sessions been so
we'll attended. the reason for nom
attendance invariably being good
one.
Mr.. McTntire said the trips through
the length and breadth of the State
had been full of interest in many ways
in addition to the business value. The
crop conditions were particularly in
teresting to watch. His opinion, which
was formed by close observation in all
sections. was that the sweet corn yield
would not be more than so per cent.

average and far below the bloom

demand for potatoes has been and is
such that it was said that the starch

operations by the high price, little po-
