Only five regular libraries are on

these.
Ten new libraries Of fifty books each,
a total Of five hundred volumes, are

During the present quarter one hun
dred libraries have been sent out,
twenty three have been broken up and
twentysix new ones made up.
In July 1916 a new and additional
record was adopted for the travelling
library files. Before that date it was

aiming all the files. the towns which
had travelling Libraries or the libraries
which any particular town had bor-
rowed. The rev file consists OF cards,

library. the dates sent and returned,
the fee paid and any additional in

All correspondence is filed by town
and thus operates as check in case
of error.

pie saying that the farmers haven't
done their share for the State"
He remarked that there is no dan
ger Of producing. that after the
Civil War the prices were higher than
they were during it, and in closing he
said: There has been too long a
bridge between the producer and the
consumer, and the committee can do
much to cut this down."
Chairman Thompson then said that
Kennebec county will have just as eff
ficient an organization as can be
formed, and that there are two main
reasons why large crops must be
raised, patriotism and profit" and he
suggested that it would be a good idea
to have a census of the labor taken.

The final speaker was Chairman d.
II. Darling of Gardiner. the repre-
sentative of the Committee ON Protec-
ton and Welfare, who spoke to the
meeting on the care and disposal OF
explosives. He stated that Attorney
General Guy H. Sturgis has decided
that Explosives" as used in Chapter
2oS, Public Laws of 1917, means all
cartridges and ammunition as well as
dynamite and gunpowder and he said
that it is now necessary for every
sportsman who has cartridges to go to
the town clerk and make asWorn state
ment as to the quantity OF such ex-
plosives in his possession. Dealers have
to keep a record of their sales, and
druggists. are warned not to sell COM
ponents of explosives to aliens or
strangers. He also explained that all
alien Germans must be registered, and
that their guns and ammunition are
to be left with the town clerk, that
receipt will be given them and the ma
terial returned at the end of the war.
He also spoke of the fact that aero
planes have been seen in various parts
of the New England states, and asked
all the members to keep a close watch
on the lakes near their homes, as these
might possibly be used as landing
bases for the aerial visitors.
