Call on Richmond to Pay

communication was read from the
school committee at the Monday eve
ming meeting of the Gardiner city
council, calling attention to the fact
that some Richmond children had been
attending both the common schools
and the High school and that no tut
ton had been received from that town.
The communication stated that the
opinion of the city solicitor had been
obtained and was that the bill was
collectable he thought from the town
and he was sure from the parents. The
committee recommended that if it
were collectable only the latter way
that the bill be waived. The council
voted TO inform the committee that it
was their wish that the bill be sent to
the town of Richmond and if they re-

GARDINER BOYS
ANSWER CALL

OF the five men who have been sta
toned at the recruiting Office in De-
pot square there now remain but two,
Corporal Blanchard and Private Mea-
der of the mounted scouts. Sergt Hus-
kins and Sergt. Smith have been sent
to Winthrop to establish recruiting
quarters there, and Private Andrews
has been called back to his company.
1t is probable that the recruiting Office
will be maintained during the rest of
this week at least.
Gardiner has responded very well to
the call and after this evening there
should be a still further gain. At the
time Of this writing 81 men have en-
listed, although a considerable number

ars be excluded from Gardiner schools
in the future. The mayor stated that
as result of much close figuring the
tax rate would be kept down to "a
mills. This increase of a mill is due
entirely to the additional mill of the
State tax.
Fred f. Weymouth was granted per-
mission to occupy a portion of Dres-
den avenue, during the moving of a
building. 1t was voted that the bonds
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles f. Hale be
accepted. The request of William S.
Sargent for a license as a victular was
granted providing he filed satisfac-
tory bond. The request of Charles f.
Goodwin for permission to operate

one week.

Regular business meeting, Hallowell
Local, New England Milk Producers
Association, was held in the Council
room, City hall, May 2S. A discus
sion of the grain situation reveals
nothing to encourage milk men to in
crease their output but rather to cut
out every pound of grain possible and
plan to keep smaller herds the com
ing winter.
1t was voted to ask the post office
department to make some changes in
the r. F. d. Of this city so that fam
lilies living on the outer Central road
and the Vaughn road might have their
mail left at their doors.
1t was thought best to call attention
of milk consumers to the fact that the
milk bottles left at their doors belong
to the milk man and they are not to
be sold to other parties or used as con =
tainers for other things. In some cases
vinegar and even kerosene oil have
been found in the returned bottles and

There is a certain timeliness about
the story Of Joan Of Arc. as it has been
reported frequently from Fance that
public interest in the Maid of Orleans
moment. Although the story Of Joan
the Woman" written for the screen by
Jeanie Macpherson, has been carefully
guarded. il is said that Mr. DeMille and
Miss Farrar have touched upon this
feature of modernism in relating one Of
the most fascinating Goosies Of medi-
aevalism.
All the scenes Of the picture were
made last summer in California. Miss

Half Your Living
= Without Money Cost

"A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in the
South. We are all facing a crisis.
This war in Europe puts things In
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made

ever grew!

Our Absent Treatment

Should war be declared it is
highly improbable that the
United States will wage more
than a sympathetic war against
Germany. Americas great part
in the war will be to send the al
lies supplies Of foodstuffs and
munitions of war, and to assist
in keeping the seas open to com
merce. Virtually, Japan is at
war with Germany, but Japan's
part in the war consists in the
main in providing war supplies
to Russia, its enemy of a dozen
years ago.
A war may bring to the United
States a universal military SER
vice system, which will develop
an American army. This will be
the possible great good Of a war,
but it Is doubtful that a war with
Germany will entail the use Of
United States troops. To raise,
equip and train an adequate
army in the United States will
be a matterof two years or more,
and a condition whlch..will allow
two more years of world war
cannot be conceived,
The United States will carry
food and war supplies to it's al
lies. Probably the ships Of the
United States navy will be used
as conveys. If attacked, the
American men-of-war will at
tempt to repel attack. Other
wise, we will wage a war of SYM
patty; in substance the counter
part of that now being carried
on by Japan.
We will wage war by absent
treatment,

The residence of Percy S. Hayes,

shortly after IL o'clock. The origin of
the fire was undetermined and all
household goods we're lost, Mr.. and

when the fire started.
The alarm was sent in while the

diately all of the trucks left the pro-

Pay Up Now

From the Ohio State Journal
IF you have SIS, or more or less,
for which you have no pressing
need, 90 and pay a debt with it.
That is the best use you can
make of money, unless you are
baked or starving. Now is the
time to obey the bible injunc-
ion, owe no man anything
That is in tie bible, but from the
way some debtors spend money
they don't seem to know it or
care for it. If they have a dol.
ar extra it goes for a pleasure
II a convenience. The duty to
pay someone they owe never oc-
,urs to them. Nor does it occur
to them hat every unsettled
debt is a drag on the community.
Everybody has to pay interest
on it.
People have to pay more for
their sugar and coffee because
other people owe the grocer and
won't pay. 1t is one of the items
in the high cost of living. And
then there is a wholesome public
policy in scattering the money
around. 1t will help some other
debtor pay his debt. SO pay up
now"
