Pleaded N0lo Contendere

Ninety quarts of liquor were found
at the residence of Rev. a. o. La
croix on Norridgewock avenue. Sat
urday forenoon of last week, by
Sheriff Goodrich, assisted by Depu
ties Frank Parsons of Skowhegan and
Frank Caswell Of NorridgeWock. At
the hearing, which was Immediately
arranged before Trial Justice Thomas
G. Lord. Father Lacroix plead nOlO
contendere to the charge Of Illegal
possession This plea was virtually
inevitable, as the quantity found was
far in excess Of the amount allowable
for medicinal purposes under the
present law A fine of 500 and costs
was paid A Jail sentence of 60 days
was given by the Trial Justice. but
but this was suspended during good
behavior Father Lacroix accounted
for having liquors on hand by the
statement, that they were kept that
he might always be able to supply
them to those who needed them for
illness, and especially where the fam
lilies were needy. No evidence was
introduced for the defence but it is
understood that there were reputable
people willing to corroborate Father
Lacroix's statement in this respect
Rev Father Lacroix came to Show
hogan as priest of st Marys Parish
about 1889, and remained in that capa-
city something like 90 years He
was succeeded in June, 1909, by the
late Rev. p. A. Jouvin who came here
after ten years residence at Fair

Ella b. Wentworth

Ella Blanche Wentworth a brief
notice of whose death appeared in
recent issue was born in Embden.
Nay 4. 1907 thu oldest daughter Of
John and Lizzie May CGetchelD Went
worth Mss Wentworth attended the
common school in her own district
and later entered Arson Academy
from which school she graduated in
1916 In the fall and winter Of 1916
she taught at West Mills in the fol
lowing spring at the Maple Grove
school in Scion In the fall OF 1917
she began teaching in Embden and
WAS engaged in teaching her fourth
term of school in that town when her
death occurred In the winter of
1917-1S during the long vacation of
the Embden schools, she taught one
term in Skowhegan under the super
intendence of l.. W. Gerrish Miss
Wentworth was an able teacher, sue
cessful in discipline and faithful in
the performance of every duty Her
last school the "Purington' in Emh-
den. numbers nearly thirty pupils.
with the large number of classes in
cident to a mixed school. but each
days program was conseientiously
carried out and each pupils needs
were cheerfully considered Had
Miss Wentworth lived to longer years
of experience. her influence as sue
cessful educator would have been
widely felt
At the beginning Of the tenth week
of her school, she was called home to
care for her mother who had become
i'll of influenza after caring for the
two younger daughters, sick with the
same disease. The mother soon i'm
proved in health, when suddenly,
Miss Ella and the two brothers living
at home showed symptoms of the same
malady Every possible care was
given the sick ones. and when Miss
Fila case ueNtlopeu pneumonia,
trained nurse was employed The
brothers recovered, but this eldest
daughter, the stay and comfort of this
devoted home circle quickly succumb-
ed to the dread disease. On the morn
ing of October Is, she quietly slipped
away from those who loved her best.
and the whole neighborhood and town
mourned as for a personal friend \ j
particularly sad feature of this be
reavemeut was that Mahlon Went /
worth. the only member of the family
living away from home, Was sick in
bed with threatened pneumonia at the
time of his sisters death
The funeral was held on Monday, |
October p, an open air service Many /
friends were there with beautiful flor
al tributes, while many who were un-
able to be present sent messages of
love and respect The sad hours /
crept slowly away, and all that was

FOOD ADMINISTRATION NOTES
Increase of Sugar Allotment

Commencing Nov. 1st the sugar ra-
ton to honseholders will be increased
! from two to three pounds per person
per month, while public eating places
will be permitted to serve three
pounds of sugar with each 90 meals
Householders will be permitted to buy
one months supply of sugar at one
time
As the merchants are SO pleased
with the sugar card arrangement, it
would seem that the best course to
pursue would be to sell upon the SUI
gar cards an increase of one-half of
what the sugar card allows and punch
out as many weeks of the month as
the sale of sugar is made not to ex-
ceed the one months supply.
The telegram from Mr.. Hoover to
the Federal Food Administrator. Leon
S. Merrill states that it is the new
crop of beet sugar in the West and
the new crop of louisiana cane SUI
gar in the South, together with the
freer railroad transportation condi-
tons, the reduction in the consump-
ton OF sugar in the manufacturing
trades, and the patriotic conservation
in the past four months that enables
this increase to be made.
No change has been made in the
amount of sugar to be allotted to man
ufacturers soda fountains, druggists,
and bakers.

ton of order applying TO these
places which limited the patron to

SCALD INDIAN MEAL
An expert Negro "Mammie' from
the South, with contemptuous toss
of her head declared the women Of
New England do not know how to
make corn-bread. She SAYS they
should always scald the meal and
that is what brings out the good
ness" A Skowhegan woman read
this item and persued that method
She was surprised and delighted to
find the Improvement it made Try
it for yourself, housewives
