guilty was entered, asked that prison
sentence be imposed for the humiliation and
disgrace the girl had suffered. Brl's coun-

Miss SeabroolS was aware of Brills marital
affairs and argued that it would not be
fair to make Mrs Brill suffer FOR something
that could not be remedied by prison

paign which Professor Merrill will
shortly announce.
THE University of Maine has been
doing great work along many lines.
What has beeen accomplished in the
way of producing bigger and better
crops is known everywhere. The home
economic department is not as old as
the agricultural college, but it has
rapidly come to occupy a place Of al
most equal Importance. The whole re-
sources Of this department will be
placed at the disposal of the State.
Women instructors will be sent every
where. Not only will they hold classes
Of instruction in cities and towns, but
they will go right into the homes Of the
people if it is necessary.
1T is the aim of this campaign to
demonstrate to the people how best
they can use the greater crops that are
to be produced. how a supply may be
provided for the cropless days and
how what is used may be used to the
best advantage without waste. I re-
gard this home economic campaign as
