$77o.ooo-is the government valua-
ton.
1t happened that some time ago.
the government for the purpose Of
taxation, had valuation Of the
property made. with the result that
each share of a par value of $40 was
declared to be worth S22. This
would indicate a pretty good profit
for the present owners, when the
sale takes place.
The prospective buyers are per-
fectly satisfied with the price asked
for they have recently had an expert
make a physical examination Of the
property and he reports that 1t Is
worth over 100000, being up to date
in every particular. And those fig
ures are entirely for visible prop
erty, not counting any good will OF
paper prospects. An expert ac-
countant on the books also state;
that the business is sound, pros
porous and growing. The concern
will do 100000 business in the
year 1919.
The details Of the plan Of financ-
ing the purchase are not yet ready
for publication. but while it would
be perfectly easy to secure the en-
tire amount from several sources. il
is designed to make it a co-opera-
tive affair, so that the farmers OF
Maine may own and control it. Mr.
Bradford will remain in charge, al
though he feels that long years OF
steady application to business has
earned for him a good rest. to begin
in the near future. He is also said
to be heartily in favor-in fact, it is
his wish tor the farmers to have the
property. instead of its falling into
the hands of out of the State CAPT.
talists and not working every min
ute for the benefit and welfare OF
State Of Maine people, who have
stood by and helped build up this
very valuable property.
It is now confidently expected that
by Oct. l the Turner Center Cream
cry property will be in the hands OF
new owners and on another ster
toward greater prosperity.

SHORT COURSE IN NURSING.
George Washington University
Hospital Class to Last Six Months.

An innovation in the annals of medi-
cine has been inaugurated by George
Washington University Hospital ac-
cording to an announcement made by
that hospital to the effect that in
view of the shortage Of nurses it will
establish on August l a six months
course of training for those desiring
a rudimentary education with regard
to caring for the sick.
Hospitals throughout the country
are calling attention to the dearth of
nurses and their officials are at a loss
to understand the reason why fewer
women than formerly are entering the
nursing profession.
To each person completing the
course at the George Washington Uni
versity Hospital there will be given a
certificate testifying to the fact. APP
plicants for training in the new
course are requested to apply to the
superintendent of nurses at the hos
pital.

Auditor Reports Finding in Ma
tional Lumber Co. g Suit for
Breach of Contract.

Herbert L. Davis. auditor of the
District Supreme Court. today filed his
findings and report in the suit brou-.. :.
by Maurice H. Eichberg of Mobile,
Ala. trading as National Lumber
Company, to recover 100000 damages
from the United States Shipping
Board Emergency Fleet Corporation
for breach of contract to purchase
timber for the proposed wooden fleet.
The fleet corporation Cancelled the
contract after a decision had been
reached that water-oak timber could
not be used in building the ships for
the emergency fleet.
Auditor Davis finds that the Ma
tional Lumber Company is entitled to
S116,346.13 as damages and $11,13S1O
interest and recommends a judgment
against the shipping board for s127,-
4S4.23.
The shipping board contested the
jurisdiction of the District Supreme
Court to hear the case on the theory
that 1t is government agency and
that the suit is practically gainst the
United States and should have been
filed in the Court of Claims. Justice
Hitz held against the contention and
referred the case to the auditor for
an accounting.

When General Won Bisslng. the Ger.

50,0O0.0OO francs on the city of Brus-
sells, the Golfers of which were empty.
Baron Lambert Rothschild, who died
In Paris "A few days ago, came to the
rescue and through the bank assumed
responsibility for part Of the tribute
demanded by the Huns. Baron Roth
schild's wife died in Paris during the
war. She and her husband played a
part In bringing Roumania INTO the
war on the side of the allies. On one
occasion a courier being sent to Rou-
mania, was intercepted and suspicion
was turned against Baroness Roth
schlld. She escaped arrest only through
the Intervention of Brand WhitlOck,
the American minister. but had 10
apologize to Won Bissing and promised
to refrain from such acts In the future.
Baron ROthschild himself was held
hostage by the Huns one time because
he was slow In paying tribute OF 81
100000. Baron Rothschild's son was
wounded severely serving with the
Belgian army.
