Since the war, and the period Of re-

people are practicing economy in
many ways until recently would have

An Incorrect Report

The report started somewhere and
has been given wide circulation that
the two fawn deer recently on ex-
hibition at the Exposition building
during the Centennial celebration in
Portland had been sold by the State
to Col. Edward J. Mayo of Foxcroft,
who bought them for his grand
daughter. Dorothy Mayo. This Is in
correct. Commissioner Parson states
that the deer have Simply been placed
in the care of Colonel Mayo, who has
fine grove and plenty of room for
their care and exercise. They remain
the property OF the State-in fact,
that part Of the States natural assets
are not for sale. 1t is said that Col
onel Mayo will add more deer to
these. as he can secure them, having
fine natural facilities for deer park.
