It does beat the devil that
those Bostonians are just aWak-
ening to the fact that the North
west apples have spray on them
and that the spray tests arsen-

the spray is on the apple, be-
cause it does test arsenate. BQs-

Is 1t a Fire Alarm?

>~HE fire department. prob

but to us it seems that the Of
tener the fire whistle is sounded
when there is no fire the less eff
fective it will become as an
alarm. The primary purpose OF
the siren is, of course, to sum-
rmon members of the department
in case of fire, but it should
serve the further purpose OF
warning the people of the COM
munity that they may prepare
to protect their property should
the fire be in their neighbor-
hood and to render such assist
ance as may be necessary to con-
troll the conflagration. In a town
i like this where there is no regu-
Ilarly paid fire department and
every man is more or less fire
man. it is certainly bad policy
TO encourage the Indifference OF

by Sergt. Mccormick and De-
tective Wheeler.

One thousand two hundred and eight
half pints of whisky were seized last

i've Wheeler of the tenth precinct, serv-
ing as prohibition detectives. The liquor

The liquor had been transferred to his
wagon from the automobile Of a Bafti-
morean on Riggs road, about two miles
from the District. 1t was covered with
rags, the officers stated. giving the
wagon the appearance OF being the We
hcle of dealer in junk
Henderson told the story the police
have heard SO many times. It was that
an automobile had broken down on the
pant to bring his cargo of liquor to this
city.
If all such stories were true" said
one of the officers. 'the roads between
here and Baltimore would have been lit
tered with broken automobiles"
Mccormick and Wheeler declared
Henderson's version of how he happened
to get the liquor was not true, saying
they witnessed the transfer and saw the
baltimore mans automobile moving
about as If its occupant wanted to make
certain there were no policemen on hand

Having received information that
whisky was transferred from automo-
biles to wagons at a point on Riggs
road. near Riggs farm, the sergeant and
detective yesterday afternoon had Sc
creted themselves in the woods and
watched proceedings.
Henderson was released on bond for

the director general for most advances
to railroads. and is payable July Is, with
the right on the part of the director

revolving fund. The railroad adminis-
tration is expected to use the money for
its more pressing obligations
The War Finance Corporation also an

the Maine Centennial committee, is
anxious to secure relics for the big
exhibition to be held in Portland

ture-anything and everything that
is old and of interest. These will be
loaned, properly recorded, and re-
turned after the celebration.
Very soon a committe will canvass

patriotism.

any photograph of bit of scenery
will be welcomed
