During the past two months patrons of
| the Penobscot Bay Electrical Co. have
been seriously annoyed by the irregularity
of the service. Repeatedly the lights
have flickered out leaving the town in
! darkness from one to twelve hours A
thorough investigation of miles of wire
! failed to remedy the uncertain condition
but led to suspicion that malicious cut
ting of the current was the cause of the
| trouble. Warnings are now posted to
the effect that any person or persons in
any way obstructing the transmission of
the electric current will be punished to
the extent of the law; also reward of
| $50 is offered for information leading to
the arrest of the offenders
| The demonstration of "War Breads
| given at Memorial Hall on Friday after
/ noon by Miss Ruby Barker, proved most
| instructive and was attended by more
than fifty housewives. Two Ioaves of
| bread were mixed, one using mashed po-
tatoes for half its bulk, the other rolled
| oats. After demonstration of prepar-
ing the sponge for the oven and an inter
estlng talk upon various flours and leaven-
ing agencies two quick breads, rye bis
cults and corn meal mullins were mixed.
Her clear explanations and the distribus.
ton of leaflets containing ten recipes for
| breads in which the grains advocated by
our Food Administration are in part sub
stltuted for white flour were very helpful
Many other substitutions, such as syrups
for sugar and vegetable fats and drip
pings tor the more expensive shorten
ings were made clear. The appreciation of
the committee in charge of the demonstra-
ton is extended to the Odd Fellows and
Masonic Lodges for the use of their hall
and to the Penobscot Bay Electric Co.
for the electric oven.

hour of Victrola music enjoyed by the
guests. Mr.. and Mrs. Nash will remain
