slightly in excess of the receipts for
the preceding fiscal year. according to
the mi-annual report Of the depart
ment of silviculture Of this district.

vented early logging work. has had a
considerable effect on the timber sales

1917. as lss.00o.00O feet, valued at
$4,000. The estimated cut for the
coming fiscal year of 1918. is given as
26o,0o0.00O feet, an increase Of not
quite 40 per cent A timber cut Of
100000 feet in the district during
the fiscal year of 1919 Is predicted.
The cost Of timber sales administra-
ton during the fiscal year of 1917
amounted to $4,000. an average of
about IS cents per 1000 feet Of timber
cut. The stnmpage prices received
varied from 50 cents to Sc per 1000
feet. averaging about $3.50.
In the reforestation work done by the
department last fall total of 1900
acres was planted. An intensive plant
ing survey Of total Of 1860 acres
was made in district No. during the
past season, at an average cost Of
seven and half cents per acre. Twen-
ty-six thousand acres were covered by
average cost of one cent an acre.
Many Plants Ready.
The report from the Savenac nur.
sery at Haugan, which furnishes all
the plants used in reforestation work
in the district. shows that there are
1.2GA.oo0 plants ready to ship at the
nursery. while there are 1000. 900
plants ready for transplanting. 1t is
estimated that the nursery production
for the fiscal year OF 1918 will be about
100000 plants. and for the succeed
ing year 100000 plants. which is the
authorized capacity of the nursery
Among the most important improve
ments installed during the present
year are machine sand spreader,
which spreads sand over the seeds
after they are planted in the beds with
saving of 500 per cent in labor, a
root primer, and a tree litter. The
forest service is planning to make a
number of improvements at the nur-
sery during the year, the project in
Guiding the realignment of buildings

CERTAIN USES
OF THE FLAG FOR
RIDDEN BY LAW

Conflicting statements being circu-
lated as to the legality Of using rep
resentation Of the American flag on
articles Of merchandise, especially col
lars. neckties. shirts, etc, 1t seems
pertinent at this time to call attention
to the Maine law on that subject and
also to suggest that it has long been
understood that Ignorance of the law
was no excuse" The Maine law fol-
lows:
Chapter 119, Section 5, Revised
Statutes, 1916:

ton or display, places or caused to be

Bangor showed its appreciation of
the services of its absent soldier boys
on Friday night by a record breaking
attendance at the concert and dance
held by the Second Regiment Band in
City hall. The entire balcony was sold
out and there were a few hundreds be-
side. About 800 couples took part in
the fine dance program that was the
concluding part Of the affair 1t was
a really fine concert program that was
presented by the band, which has APP
peared here a number of times as the
University of Maine organization. Since
the boys enlisted in the Ntional Guard
they have recruited number OF re-
cruits that make a welcome addition
to the personnel of the band. The pro-
gram as presented was a combination
of national airs and popular music
adapted to band use. 1t was given in
an admirable manner and the work
of the organization was warmly APP
plauded at every opportunity. AS
music for dancing on such a large
scale band is in a class by itself and
it is safe to say that the efforts Of the
soldier boys in this direction was the
source of no small amount of satisfac-
ton to those who participated in that
part Of the program-Bangor News

ter Of the municipal court to answer to
the charge Of larceny by skipping out
last Friday morning with some cash
and checks which had been intrusted to
ms care by Roland Lynn, proprietor of
Hottie North, who had instructed Den
nison to deposit the checks and get the
money changed.
Dennison. who says that he will be 10
years old July 81. was cool and COM
posed when brought into the courtroom,
and had no counsel. When asked the
usual question as to whether or not he
was guilty, he replied that he was,
whereupon the court held him in the
sum of $500 for appearance at the Sep
TENDER term Of the superior court
According to Dennison's' statement to
the court he had been employed in a
number of places during he past year

spoken OF in the Boston Sunday papers,
he claimed that he did not assault
Manager Gavin of one of the stores,
as was printed in one of the Boston pa
pers. but merely locked the man down
cellar after he had induced him to go
down to see sick cat, and then after
taking the contents of the cash register
locked up the store and left.
Regarding his movements during the
past year Dennison claimed to have
been in Salt Lake City. Utah. for a
week, also in Omaha and Lincoln.
Neb. Continuing. he said that he had
been in Bordeaux, France, where ne
went with a shipment of horses When
asked about his theft Of last Friday
morning. he said that he did not start
out with the idea Of taking Mr.. Lynn's
money, but that an evil influence came
to him and he yielded. On leaving
town he claims that he hired an auto
mobile for 81 to take him to Winthrop,
and from there he took train to Bos-
ton. When the officers in Boston ar
rested him he had but about SO left
from what he took from Mr.. Lynn, but
the three checks were safe although
some erasures had been made.

Washington, lie May 4, 1917.
Dear Madam:
In reply to your request on behalf Of
the National Society, Daughters Of the
American Revolution, for a suggestion
as to the best method of expressing, in
a practical way, your sympathy and
friendship with France in the struggle
she is making for human liberty, and
in which your country has nobly joined.
I have the honor to say that in my
opinion. there is perhaps no better way
in which your great Society could eX-
press this feeling of fellowship than by
caring for some Of the children of
France, orphaned by this war in which
our common interests and the interests
of civilization are at stake.
The works instituted for the relief Of
the conflict are very numerous, very
mertorious, and for many Of them
American generosity has profferec :..e
most valuable help. But it would seem
particularly fitting since it is their de-
sire to act. that the Daughters of the
American Revolution show especially
their interest in the sons and daughters
Of France left fatherless by the great
struggle.
l have the honor to be. Madam, with
heartfelt thanks for this new token of
American sympathy and good will,
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) Jusserand,
Mrs Matthew T. Scott,
Chairman War Relief Service Com
mittee.
