The
Ever-Welc0ne
Visitor

For over ninety years the Daily
Kennebec Journal has been the
chief spokesman Of Kennebec and
surrounding counties. ~
It's long career of usefulness and
service has had a powerful in
f1uence for good on the lives and
characters of it's readers.
The faithfulness with hich the
news is presented, the sane and
helpful interpreta ton of the press
ing problems Of troublesome times,
the uplifting word of encourage
ment for every worthy cause, pub
lie welfare, civic betterment and
community development, h s es-
tablished it as one of the perma-
nent institutions in Maine homes.
Today at least 10000 Maine fami-
lies depend upon it for inspiration,
information, advice and entertain
ment.
In variety and interest of careful
ly sifted news no paper in the State
can surpass it. It's influence makes
for better home life, better bust
ness life, and better community
life.
To be a Journal reader is to identi-
fly yourself with one of the most
influential and at the same time
one Of the least expensive means
of self -advancemen and self-edu-
cation at your disposal.

called upon to make reports of indi-
vidual cases where the alien left

IL he left it here and fought in his
country's army. But his understand
ing of the matter is that the property
shall be merely taken care of, and
not converted to the use of this gov
eminent or revert to the state.
There is only one case where the
rules and orders he received might
apply, Mr.. Sponholz said. Whether
upon investigation this case will re-
quire reporting he does not know at
this time. But in other counties
there are und anbtedly many aliens

CALMLY LOYAL
NO. GREAT NOISE ABOUT IT
COUNTY WILL GO OVER
TOP COMFORTABLY.

Incomplete returns from city and
country this noon indicate that the
whole county will go comfortably
over its assigned amount of invest
ment in Liberty Bonds. There are
spots which rather surprised the pro-
meters of the organization with the
amounts they volunteered. But ey-
.ery district within the county will
more than meet the quota. Concord
township, assigned $4,000, will
raise in the neighborhood of $33 1000,
the committee reported today.
The committees and Secretary
Burnett have received many volun-
tary subscriptions. In many cases
those who were rated and apportion-
ed raised the bet to surprising fig
ures. Many, whose motives were
questioned by idle talk, asked for
time to make arrangements, then
came back in a surprising way with
three or even four times the amount
they were expected to subscribe. Not
more than a dozen blue cards were
made out, and this number will be
lessened.
Today will be the last day an Of
flee will be maintained in the fed
eTal building, Mr.. Burnett said to-
day. 1t is not likely that his secre-
taryship will end until May 4, the
time for the expiration of the drive,
but from now on he will do the work
in his office of clerk of courts at the
courthouse.
The executive committee has a
meeting this afternoon, and arrange
ments will be made for reaching
those who have escaped the working
committees. The number is small,
but in some cases the amounts are
comparatively large, and ii Is felt ia
be an injustice on the willing ones
to allow any to escape solicitation al
least.
A small hurt to local pride was
inflicted by the general order by the
railway company that the employees
should subscribe through company
representatives. We are advised
however, that the company has ex'
pressed a willingness to conform to
the regular executive committee and
federal reserve rules, and approach
each man on the basis of the net
worth determined by the local com
mittees, and to be powerless to ac'
cept less than the recognized quota
And a further arrangement is made
whereby the county and city shall re
ceive credit for the amount in theil
tgrand total of subscription for thu
third Liberty Loan.
