Apples for Soldiers
Charles H. Savage of Bangor has
already had many liberal responses
to the call a few days ago for con-
tributions of fine Maine apples to be
shipped to our soldiers in France.
Many farmers in this vicinity have
offered numerous barrels of fine fruit,
all carefully packed and sorted, and
in addition over 5000 in cash has been
given. Mr. Savage feels that there
will be a still more generous response
in the neighborhood of Bangor, as
many farmers have not Vet been heard
from. The movement was started by
the International Apple Shippers AS
ISOLATION and is aided by the National
League of Commission Merchants.

Recorder Fred Lancaster A. L. Verrll
representing Mr. Clark and Charles
Adams, the wife. According to testimony
from both sides the life of the Clarks has
been rather tempestuous since they were
married in 1914. Each charged the other
with rather indefinite infidelity and abuse |
Mrs. Clark claimed that because of her
husbands abuse and failure to provide
properly she was forced to leave him and
asked the court to compel him to provide
for her. The defense asserted that Mr.
Clark had always provided for his wife
as far as his salary would permit and
that he had never struck or abused her
Mrs. Clark, a rather handsome voung
woman, took the stand first She colld
hardly speak above a whisper owing to .
bad cold, but when she resented some o-
the questions asked her by Mr.. yerriu
her voice came back temporarily. The
couple were married in Norway. Tben
they went to South Paris. then to Lisbon
y. H., then TO South Paris again. then
Mrs. Clark went to Jay later to Madison
