1T PAYS TO
Read the Ads

IME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising i imp roved,
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

TWO SPANISH WAR
VETERANS COMMITTED
TO KENNEBEC JAIL
For Exerting Evil Influences on
Small Boys-Judge Lancaster
of Municipal Court Called
Upon to Listen to Most Unus-
ual Recital-Eddie Poulin Fin
ed in Non-Support Case, APP
peals to Superior Court

Two cases which were so disgusting
in their details as to forbid the print
ing of the same were heard Monday
afternoon by Judge Lancaster of the
municipal court. The cases centered
about two members of the National
Home veterans of the Spanish War,
they being the principals, while others
connected with the cases were several
small boys ranging from 10 to IL
years. whom it was alleged the two
veterans attempted to lead astray.
The two soldiers, who were arrested
Saturday night at Togus and brought
to Augusta were Albert j. Smith and
Christopher Forte, were each arraign-
ed on two charges, the first being in
decent exposure and the second wan
ton and lascivious behavior the latter
being supplemented with features that
are better left imprinted.
The two respondents pleaded not
guilty to both charges but the testi-
mony given in by the boys was suffi-
cient to convince the court Of their
guilt. On the first charge the respon-
dents were found guilty and each was
given a sentence Of 30 days in jail.
while on the second charge probable
cause was found to hold each respon-
dent in the sum Of $500 for the Sep
TENDER term Of the superior court.
The bonds were not forthcoming and
both respondents were committed to
jail
The only other matter before the
court for the afternoon was that of
Eddie Poulin. who was arraigned on
the charge of non-support of his 3
year-old daughter Edwardina. The
respondent was represented by Bene-
dict F. Maher and pleaded not guilty.
while the complainant was represent
ed by Herbert Locke. 1t came out in
the testimony that the respondent had
left his wife in the fall Of 1915, within
few months after he had married
her. and according to her claim he
had never done anything In the way
OF supporting her or their little girl.
At the close Of the hearing the court
found the respondent guilty and order
ed him to pay to his wife the sum of
$3.50 per week for the support Of the
child and also to furnish a bond in
the sum Of 5000 as a guaranty Of good
faith. An appeal was taken from the
sentence and Poulin was ordered to
furnish a $500 bond for appearance at
the September term of court.
