MAINE FOLKS IN CALIFORNIA.

PASADENA. Calf, Feb. 9. 1917 We thought
some of our friends in the chilly East might be
interested in the doings of some of the Maine
people here We have seen quite little of
Bertha Mears and Zodie Weymouth this winter.
and Abbie Stoddard as well. We were enter
tanned at Theoda Mears Morse's last month
with luncheon party in honor of Zodie's birth.
day and had a very enjoyable time. On Fl b.
ruary eighth we had an outdoor picnic at
Brookside Park in honor of Bertha and Zo2ie'
1t was one of those perfect "California days.
and we sat out without hats or coats and
thought of the shivering pc ople in Maine
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rowe
Mrs. Theoda Morse, Mrs. Grace Jackson Pat
terson, Mrs Grace Foss, Mrs. Ada Blodgett,
Mrs. Bertha Mears, Misses Zodie Weymouth
and Sabina Morey and Mr.. Allen T. Cay An
hilarious hour was spent around the table de-
corated with flowers and covered with SUBJ
stantial viands dear to the New Englander's
heart and to which ample justice was done.
After some shap shots of the party were taken
the party settled down for an afternoon of re-
minisences and stories of shack home" places
and people, stopping long enough to admire
the beautiful scenery and to speak good word
for California occasionally. One of the party
went SO far as to say that she regarded as abb
solutely wasted all the years before she came
to Pasadena, but no one else appeared to be
quite as enthusiastic as she. Seven of the
number present claimed Morrill, as their birth
place, and we wondered if that little town
could show as many representatives in any
other western city. We only regretted that
the other members,of the families represented,
as well as the other Waldo county people in the
vicinity, could not be with US to enjoy the
pleasant meeting. And we went to our homes
future.

Potatoes SO a Barrel in Houlton

Potatoes SO a Barrel in H0ulton.
HoULToN, Me-, Feb. 81. Potatoes
have re; ched the SO mark here. They
are being hauled in quite freely today.
Big Potato Deal in Caribou.
CARIBOU, Me-, Feb. 81. Another rec
ord-breaking potato deal has just taken
place here, the Jerrard Company selling
1000 barrels of potatoes to the Edward
Bahrenburg Co. of New York through
their Caribou agent, L. F. Leavitt, at
$8.75 barrel. The contract calls for
delivery in March. The sale last week
of 5000 barrels of potatoes at $S 40 a
barrel was between these same parties.
Potatoes $3.50 at Fort Fairfield.
FORT FAIRFIELD, Me-. Feb. 81. Bust.
ness was brisk in the Fort Fairfield po-
tato market Tuesday and Wednesday.
Prices never before equaled in the his
tory OF the town were being paid the
farmers for the stock which they were
bringing to market. The prices being
paid remained up around the SO mark.
AS high as $9.40 and $3.50 were being
paid. Rumors that certain buyer had
paid $40 per barrel for load of Green
Mountains were current, but they were
generally discredited. These high quota.
tions served to make many of the farm
ers suspend hauling, confident that they
would receive still higher prices later.

A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GEN. F. S.
NIyKERSUN.

In connection with the tribute of Hon.
c. c. Roberts of Chicago to Gen. Frank
S. Nickerson, published last week, we
take the liberty of printing the follow
ing personal note from Mr.. Roberts,
which will be read with interest by his
many friends in Waldo county. HIS in
ability to attend the Brooks centennial
last year was much regretted, and many
will be glad to learn that he is regaining
his health and will hope to see him at no
distant day in his native county. Mr..
Roberts writes:
| enclose a notice of the late General
Frank S. Nickerson, who had very dis
tinguished career, and seems to have
almost grown out of the minds of Waldo
county men, or rather nearly all who
knew him are dead. was very much
attached to him, and the 33 years since
came west l had seen him but four
times, my illness preventing me from
visiting him the past two years, but
during all that period l have had letters
from him as often as each three months.
My last was a Christmas card. with the
following sentiment:
christmas is the milestone which
marks the names and nearness of
friends.' l was so busy with the first
of year duties that did not reply at
once as ought to have done; wanted
time for more lengthy reply, and my
letter arrived after he was dead. It
was a great shock to me. find such
loss of friends of youth affect one more
and point to the small span yet before
US old fellows. got bad jolt with my
two affections and have been very slow
to recover, but am getting back to nor
NAL, and have succeeded by extreme
care and guarded diet in staying on earth
while longer.

PROHIBITION IN CONGRESS.
House Votes, a to l, to Bar Liquor from
Prohibition States.

Prohibition States
WASHINGTON. Feb. 81. absolute
prohibitlon' legislation took Its longest
forward stride in the Nations history
today when the House, after two hours
of uproarious debate, approved by to
majority Senate measure which
would raise an ironclad barrier against
Importation of liquor into prohibition
States. 1t is expected to receive the ap-
prevail of President Wilson within week,
adding to the "bone dry" territory about
third of continental United States.
The provision would cut off entirely H.
quor importations, amounting now to
millions of dollars annually, into the
States which have forbidden manufac-
ture or sale but have permitted importa-
ton for personal use.
A provision barring liquor advertise.
ments from the mails in States that pro-
hibit such advertising is included in the
measure, which came before the House
as a rider to the annual Postoffice APP
preparation bill. inserted by the Senate
last week on motion of Senator Reed by
a vote of So to IL.
Advocates of prohibition were divided
among themselves over the expediency
of the step, some friends of the cause de-
claring so drastic a law would have a
reactionary effect. In the same way
those who have opposed prohibition were
not unanimous on the question when the
vote was taken.
The vote as officially announced was
321 to ", but a recheck of the roll
changed it to 3l9 to 72. Party lines were
completely broken and numerous Re-
representatives. from prohibition States
recorded in the negative.
Members of Congress- are taking it for
granted that President Wilson will ap-
prove the bill.

"Bicorne" hats of black Lisierre straw
t opped by gray cockade.
Developed in black and white, this
would be even more striking and quite as
modish. though Paris endorses gray as a
contrast with black, blue, green, or plum
shades.
New Evening Sleeve.
A change from the very bare styles for
the arm and shoulder that have become a
bit tiresome is found in the new lattice
sleeve. The dress is cut to form re-
gulation arm hole with band of the
material over the shoulder. From under
the arm at either side, come two broad
crushed streamers of tulle to match or
contrast with the gown. These are
wound about the arm, crossed lattice
fashion and fasten at the wrist under an
ornamental cabuchon, usually of beads or
some sort of glittering thing. Velvet
ribbon is disposed in the same way over
tulle sleeve only in this use the cross
ings are apt to be held with bead embroid-
cries all the way from shoulder down.
Teagowns have blossomed into "Rest
Robes" and assumed ecclesiastical or
Byzantine lines. These do duty for all
semi-formal home wear and make over
very successfully from passe evening
things.

Correspondence of The Journal
NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 1917 Just now
there is considerable talk and showing of
barrel skirts large at the waist, full to
the knee and comparatively narrow at
the hem, and no doubt these will be worn,
but wiseacres in fashion predict that by
the time spring weather arrives, we will
have not "barrel" but Directoire models
in the lead. Whichever styles win out,
skirts will be narrower at the foot, and
the woman who understands her own
lines will turn out smartly, perhaps in
notifications of both models, worn on
different occasions.
There is, too, considerable question as
to the continuance of the chemise dress,
long in line, loose at the waist and when
well worn becoming to the majority of
average figures. This is apt to 90 on
with notifications produced by the plac-
ing of sashes. girdles and belts that
change the lines bit without any special
drawing in at the waist line. Nothing so
alters dress of this sort as the placing
of the girdle. and a bit of bead embroi-
derry, buckle or other device just at the
right spot, often makes the difference be-
tween trying and becoming costume.
