Fire Warden Service

S. c. Cummings of Haynesville.
chief fire warden for the southern
part of Aroostook county, in his an
the State forestry department., states
that the season commenced quite dry
and later it changed to be very wet
There were only two fires of any
consequence in his district, one in
Township Two. Range Three. and the
other in Township Two, Range Two,
at Wytopitlock Lake and these were
extinguished and at small expense.
I'm regard to patrolling and patrol
men, would suggest that We have
more lookout stations and less
patrolmen. although of course there
should be certain amount of
patrolling DONE" says Warden Cum
mings.
1T is necessary to have some pa
trolmen especially around the pulp
operations and on the by-paths and
highways where the men are travel
ing to and from the camps.
Il think that we have at the pres-
ent time one of the best fire systems
in this State that there is in New
England. and as the years go by the
system is more efficient, and the chief
wardens and deputy wardens are on
to their job. more especially in re-
gard to the posting of fire notices.
that is one of the best things in the
fire service today.
One lookout station was CONFLICT
ed in my district the past season, and
the observation from the lookout
covers large area. Its location il

greatest triumphs Of moving pictures
OF the presentation of ''St. Elmo" by
the Luttringer players only words OF
praise can be given. Al. Lutringer
plays St. Elmo Murray. the title char
acter. 1t is a difficult part and decided
ly the most pretentious he has essayed
during the score of weeks the company
has been in the Capital city. st. Elmo
with an abiding faith in God and man
receives a rude awakening when he
finds that his dearest friend to whose
care he had entrusted his iancee Agnes
when he went abroad is false to his
trust. From then on there is no pleas
ure for him in his relations with his
fellow man. He seems to be possessed
of but one idea: to be as cruel. as re-
vengeful as sacriligious as he can be.
Then comes the time when he and his
friend, Murray Hammond Civilian
Laveau) meet in the mountain forest.
A duel is fought and Hammond is
killed. 1t is then that Edna Earle
(Ann Kingsley enters his life. His bet
ter nature, long hidden, begins to come
to the surface. He again feels love and
wishes to marry Edna, but she, brought
up in an intense religious atmosphere
and reluctant to tie herself to man
such as st. Elmo has proved himself to
be, refuses his offer.

old Doctor Harding (William Laveau)

disgrace Edna and thus strike at st.
Elmo Their plans meet with little
success. and after various adventures
Edna and st. Elmo. who has entered
the ministry, are united.
The play an old favorite with some
of the most famous actors the country
has ever known. is filled with strong
situations and tells story that for in
tensity of interest and powerful cii-
makes has rarely been equaled. Some
comedy is provided in the character OF
Van Jiggings, most excellently por-
trayed by Percy kilbride and other
characters are excellently played by
Leona Hanson as Agnes, Marie Fou1-
tain as her daughter and Kenneth
Fleming as the lovable ministerial AL
Ian Hammond.
Photoplay and spoken drama together
make a combination that it would be
hard to surpass. 1t is little wonder
then that large audiences were delight
ed yesterday and it is certain that big
business will be the order for today
and tomorrow when the last perform
ances of the two productions will be
given.

STATE HOUSE

Business now in sight may extend it
into the evening, although it is
hoped to complete work in time to
home.
Governor Milliken on Saturday sent
out about $50 invitations to represent
tatives of the farmers Of Maine to at
tend the fertilizers conference, as
well as asking the executive council
ors to be present in an advisory ca
pacity. The conference will probably
be opened in the executive chamber
and even to the hall Of the House of
Representatives.
The Governor Monday afternoon
began receiving answers to the invi-
tations to be present and the indica-
tions are that, owing to the extreme
importance Of the subject, the at
tendance will be unusually large for
an occasion Of this kind.
The case was stated at length in
Mondays Kennebec Journal, but is
briefly as follows:

The Maine Agricultural Department
then ruled that fertilizer containing
any amount Of boron cannot be sold
in this State-under the existing laws.
Several firms have been cited to ap-
pear and explain the presence of
boron in their product. These cases
are now pending. The.>manufactur-
ers claim that they cannot manufac-
ture fertilizer without at least traces
OF boron in It and have asked that
the Maine authorities conform to the
United States requirement., which
permits up to ITO Of per cent with
out so labelling the package. The
Maine people. are standing firm in
their position that no boron shall be
inflicted on the farmers Of this State
and the manufacturers have now an
peaied to the Governor, a. stated.

A Selling Sensation


advertising published in the Roa-

playinga twopage "ad" announc-
ing the Harrison and Thomas
sale which opened Thursday
morning, Dec. 10Th at 9 Am.
When this two page advertise
menl was brought to our office
we looked it over carefully, then
we visited the store, looked the
stock over carefully and inter-
viewed both Mr.. Harrison and
Mr. Thomas, proprietors OF the
Harrison and Thomas store, and
they said that there were no
misleading statementsor untruth-
fdl statements made in this
advertisement, they were going
to sell the goods just as advertised.
Mr.. Harrison and Thomas both
claim the public can save
thousands of dollars in shoes and
clothing during this sale.
They inform me that they
have made some very good
purchases from the differen I
manufacturers and wholesalers
and during this sale they are 60
ing to give the people for hun
dred miles around a sale that will
be talked about for a good while
to come.
We looked over some mems
suits made by Kuppenheimer
that used to sell for $3.50 and
We saw that they were marked
down to $44.50. Also had boys
suits, corduroy school suits that
sold for $l4.50 marked down to
