CONVENTION TO
BE kept WARM
/ WITH HOT AIR
idea Expressed Regarding
Representative Place Where
Constitutional Delegates
Will Meet.

Lincoln, Dec. 1.-(Special. MEM
bers of the state board of public
lands are of the opinion that they
will be able to keep the old born,
known as representative hall, fairly
comfortable with what hot steam
they can force through the radiators
and the hot air which will naturally
come during the session where so
many orators are present
1t is not likely that the constitu-
tionaf convention sessions will be
very long at first, and from 9 in the
morning until 4 IN the afternoon
will probably be about all the time
the session will take until the COM
mittees have reported their work.
The members of the convention
are beginning to arrive and the hotel
lobbies are putting on sort of leg
ishtive condition. Candidates for
Office are fairly numerous and also
fairly active. There appears to be
no new candidates other than have
been mentioned. although Rev. A. A.
Ceessman, chaplain of the senate. is
on the ground and would not object
to. praying for the convention men,
bers with the same success that he
prayed for the senators.
Just how many employees will be
needed it is hard to tell. There will
be, besides the president and secre-
tary, a sergeant-at-arms and prob
ably an assistant and postmaster.
A chaplain, of course, will probably
be engaged. 1t is thought that
committee may be appointed to set
tie the matter OF employees just as
sopn as it is discovered what is

GETTING HEP" TO
The GOOD EATS
A Host Of Dyspeptics Can Get
Back to the Old Days OF Free
dom by the Simple Exped-
ent of a Stuart'S DySpep-
sia Tablet After Meals.

"Cosh! I never knew before how
good these little pork sausages
we're" Thus says the man who
thought his stomach was gone for
all time, but who tried the simple
cxpedient of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablet after eating. And with this
for a starter, he goes in for
cheese sandwich, piece of hot
mince pie, cats ham and eggs--in
fact he forgets his stomach and
thinks only of the energy aud good
feeling that follow eating the foods
that make most people ravenously
hungry even to think of them. And
all Of this without sour risings, no
gas, no belching and none of that
drowsy heaviness that SO often fol
lows indigestion. Try these tablets
after eating. They are used exten-
sively wherever good eaters are
found and are on sale almost every.
where in the United States and

Fate lntervenes anG
Firemen Are Too Late

Superior, Neb., Dec. 1.-(Special
Telegram 1.-The worst fire Superior
ever experienced in its residence
district, occurred Sunday at the home
of. L. c. Stanley, cashier of the
Citizens State bank. The entire
family was at church. Neighbors
on either side were away so that
the fire had made good headway
before it was discovered.
Owing to the deep snow and the
facA that many streets were torn
ups and the wrong address being
given the fire department, the house
was completely gutted by the time
the firement arrived.
House and furniture are an en-
tire loss, but partially covered by
insurance.
The fire is presumed to have been
caused by an overheated furnace.

Two Big Plays
Drew Big Crowds

That the weekend program at the
Colonial theatre is one of the best
yet offered motion picture lovers in
Augusta was demonstrated yesterday
when big crowds were present at
both the afternoon and evening per-
formances. Not only were the peo-
pie anxious to see the two big feature
plays, but they were desirous of 'be-
ing in" on the first episodes "t
lightning Bryce, the smashing new
serial which features Jack Hoxie and
Ann Little. The first episode is
called "The Scarlet Moon" and it is
filled with thrills enough to keep the
most calloused audience on edge.
1.-THE Girl from the Outside" the
latest Rex Beach picture, which Is
one Of the big features Of the pro-
gram, has it's locale in Alaska, that
country which offers never-ending
source of supply to the fertile imagi-
nation Of Rex Beach. yet he never
over-laps in his stories.
The story Of girl who, orphaned
on her way to Nome, Alaska, finds
herself set down there in time when
riot and vice ran rampant. is pow
erful presentation of life in the wild
and woolly North of Klondike days.
That peculiar punch" which is
associated with the written and
screen productions Of Rex Beach is
never missing in this newer tale.
There is a variety Of action working
logically and swiftly against the
background Of snow and greed and
gold. The psychology Of five crooks
is developed relentlessly; as is their
progression to a better state of life
when they come under the radiant in
fluence Of June, the "girl from out
side" Their leader ultimately sacri-
fees himself for her. The point is
that they do not reform" they
change; their outlook is altered fun
damentally. AS presentation of the
life of a dead era and Of the mental
and physical life Of many characters.
this new picture takes a high rank
among motion-picture classics.
Viola Dana could not be more
charming than she is in please Get
Married" which is the other Colonial
feature. Miss Dana plays the part
Of an almost kissless bride on a most
embarrassing honeymoon. The plot
is so clever and so ingeniously filled
with comedy surprises, that it seems
unfair to divulge it, lest the enjoy
ment of the spectator be impaired by
a fore-knowledge Of what it is all
about.

Indian Claims EXEMPTION

Bath had an interesting case in
court on Tuesday, as follows, accord
ing to the Bath Times:
Game Warden Herbert L. Spinney
got on the track of a man hunting on
| Rocky hill Sunday between the
standpipe and the Witch Spring road.
The man proved to be Ben Francis,
| Penobscot Indian. employed at good
| wages at the Texas yard. He had no
hunting license and explained to the
warden, later to the court, that he
was out after a rabbit to make stew
for his sick daughter. Francis was
brought before the municipal court
Tuesday afternoon. when he ad-
| vancedsthe claim that Indians are not
obliged to take out hunting licenses,
1t is true that they do not have to
have them on their reservation in
Perry, but It is question whether
they must take them out elsewhere.
Indians are not subject to taxation in
Maine and a license is a form of tax
alton. So Judge Keegan postponed
the trial of Francis until Tuesday
afternoon, meanwhile asking the
warden to obtain a decision Of the
matter Of registration of Indians who
go cunning.
1.-THE lack Of possession Of a license,
however. has nothing to do with Sun
day hunting which is illegal for either
white men or Indians. AS to the license
being a tax, it was advanced by both
Judge keegan and Warden Spinney
that the new hunting license is a
form of registration. to enable war
dens to distinguish between natives
and out-of- State hunters. The de-
cision on the matter will be of in
terest to all Maine hunters, most of
whom claim that Indians as well as
whites ought to take them out, when
the former are hunting in woods out
side the Indian reservation. AS to
Francis hunting for food for a sick
daughter, it was the suggestion that
with his big wages, he could have
purchased chicken for his stew"
Inquiry at the Fish and Game De-
partment found that no letter re-
garding a decision had yet been re-
ceived.
The case had a familiar sound.

MAINE LOSING PRESTIGE
AS SEED POTATO STATE?

E. L. Newdick of the Maine Agricul-
tural Department has returned from
Milwaukee. Wis, where he went as
delegate from the Maine Seed Improve
ment Association to a joint meeting of
the Wisconsin Potato Growers Asso-
citation and the Potato Association Of
America. The sending of a delegate TO
this meeting was in part. the result OF
a statement made in Maine this fall by
a potato expert of the United States
Department of Agriculture, to the effect
that some of the states to the west Of
us are getting the bulk Of the Southern
seed potato trade, and that, If Maine
did not watch out, she would be loser
in this market. With this statement in
mind a delegate was sent to Wisconsin
TO find out how and why this was so.
In making his report to the society,
Mr.. Newdick will say that, in his opin-
ion, we have lost our former position in
this trade because the other large grow
ing districts have spent more money in
potato development work; such as en-
couragement Of seed centers to deter

given community, the encouragement
of the seed plot separate from the COM
mercial field or the individual farmer
and the Introduction of the high yield
ing disease free strains-all these lead
ing up to certified seed.
Practically all the larger potato grow
ing states now recognize seed inspec-
ffpy, ha rly Nf
as one Of the important factors. In
comparing the number Of bushels of
certified seed raised throughout the
country this last summer 1t was found
that Maine ranked second, with Mime
sofa leading. 1t also developed that the
marketing end was the weak end as far
as Maine was concerned, the average
yield in Maine being q times greater
than that of the rest of the country
The high price Of table stock some
years causes the growers to lose inter-
est in the seed trade, but it Is believed
that. II Maine would regain the seed
trade which rightly belongs here, it
would tide over the lean years when
table stock does not bring fair price
Meetings will be held this winter with
several organizations which are inter-
ested in the marketing Of seed potatoes
to see il steps cannot be taken to adver-
tise the fact that Maine has the best
yielding strains of potatoes in the coun-
try and 1t Is hoped that the Southern
grower who needs this seed can be
brought into contact with the man who
has 1t for sale.
