present building expires year from
next January while the Skowhegan
Pulp Co. lease Of the factory which is
practically run in conjunction with the
Maine Spinning Co. expires in II
months hence. 1t is more than likely
that the Keyes Fibre Co. will come to
Skowhegan to take over the present
plant of the SSowhegan Pulp Go. for
a time, but eventually, because OF the
cost Of heating the Maine Spinning
Cos. present building when the pulp
company ceases to manufacture fuel
to heat both plants, there will have to
be either extensive remodeling of the
Spinning Cos. buildings, new home
will have to be built for them or their
removal from town will be necessl-
tated.

KENT'S HILL LITERARY
SOCIETIES ENTERTAIN

Kent's Hill, Me, Feb. 10.-The four lit
erary societies have again proved their
worth as training places for young men
and young women in the departments of
music, drama and literary expression.
Tonight was the occasion Of the regular
Joint private meetings of the Calliopean-
! Adelphian and Literati-Eromathean So
! cietes, and two splendid programs were
presented. The young ladies we're the
| invited guests and co-workers in each
| case and to the masculine conquest in
debate was added the feminine refinement
! in the arts. A slight change in the usual
procedure taxed the ingenuity of the four
! student officers, but in spite of the hand1-
cap brought about by the omission OF
specialties, the program was we'll planned
and of highest worth. The specialties
were omitted in order to provide time for
special forms of war work now In pro-
gress among the women students.
| Both meetings opened with prayer and
the reading of the records. The address,
es of welcome were made by Alexander
Kennedy Of Lisbon Falls for the Caliio-
peans, and by Malcolm Severson OF Fay
| ette for the Literati. Response for the
! Adelphians was made by Mable Allen,
and for the Eromatheans by Mildred
Brown. The Calliopean program was as

not enough helmets. Those having
them partly done or who have yarn
for them will please finish them as
soon as possible and return them to

fitted out before leaving home, here

ONE STATION TO A TOWN

County Food Administrator Aspin-
wall in a statement to Times repre-
sentative stated that committee of
three, County Auditor Burton, chair
man of the County Council of De-
fense and himself and Mr.. Ernest
Cox, appointed by the first two gen.
tlemen, would inspect the cream sta
tions of the county and would rec
ommend to the state food administra-
tor which one they desired to leave
open. The idea Mr.. Aspinwall con-
tinued, that want you to convey to
the public, is the fact that the gov
ernment wants the cream shipped to
the nearest point and handled by one
man in each town, eliminating the
several dealers, as it may happen to
be.

SAYS FOOD DIRECTOR

Another step toward partial resump
ton BY the nation of its old habit of
eating was taken by the food admin
tstEation In neleasing housewives
from voluntary pledges to curtan the
consumption Of wheat. This follows
closely the release of hotels, .restaur-
ants, clubs and dining car service
from their pledge, effective August
1.
No change has been made, the food
administration announced, in the
half and half rule, and purchasers of
wheat -four viii be required to con-
tinue the purchase Of unequal weight
OF wheat substitutes.
Bakers still are required to make
Victory" bread, containing at least
Is per cent wheat substitutes. Arfiw-
al Of the new wheat crop has made
it possible for the release sof volun-
tary wheat saving pledges, the an
ministratfon said.

enemy from the John Miller farm
south Of Tyler to the Wild Rice river
north of Wahpeton.
The shock troops had been con-
centrated a. the armory and from
here they were sent in armored cars
to the points of vantage where they
soon quickly put the machine guns
in the clear.
About 80 divisions were ont Tues

similar advances were made in other
parts of the line. The Resistance has
been pretty strong in spots while in
others the advance lines were taken
without many casualties.

the way the shock troops were equip

That the United States may be en-
tirely out of sugar before the end of
1918 was predicted by Henry X. N.Y.
ers, Investigator at large in the en-
forcement division of the United
States food administration.
"The sugar situation In this coun-
try is much more serious than most
persons realise," he said. Indeed it
is possible that, before the end of
the year, we shall be unable to get
any sugar at all"
The present shortage, he attributed
to loss by submarine raids and In the
German offensive in France of more
than $4,000 tons of sugar during July
aud June. The best Cf the beet sugar
