THE POWER QUESTION.

Il. +. Nieman. superintendent oi
the Harmony mines company, drov-
up last Wednesday on a quest for
principally for machine ron. Whila
here Mr. Nieman was looking over
the power situation for the future
and later may take the matter VI
with the Gilmore mine owners as
well as with those Of this place with
view OF getting them TO subscri.r.
for power 10 run hoists, compressors
mills, cite. Mr. Niemann says the
Harmony company Is very much
handicapped with lack of power and
his argument Is that the big plant
furnishes the cheapest power and his
idea is 70 get subscribers sufficient
10 justify the move, then 30 ahead
and install a biz plant on the Sai-
mon and distribute the JUICE to the
respective users. giving each con-.
pany the benefit Of low cost power
from the big plant.
Mr.. Nieman could not take the
time this trip to look over our prom,
ising properties but within short
time expects TO return again with
the intent OF taking In some of the
main properties. He says the Har-
mony mill will be ready to start
about the first of June after which
the 120.ton concentrator will send
out continuous stream on concen-
trates as several years run IS already

Postmaster In Bad.

CharlesS Denny registers kick
against the new postmaster but II is
thought things can be fixed up so M
To avoid a serious hitch.
In Uenny's complaint he alleges
that he took pair of shoes to the
postmaster and made known that he
wanted TO send them TO Salmon by
parcel post to have them half-soled.
The postmaster weighed them and
accepted the stamps for mailing. but
later refused To send them until the
owner had them fumigated. A num-
ber OF the people who smelled the
shoes are taking sides with Chase.
Charlie IL afraid that the publicity
OF the affair will tend to hurt his
trade. SO the less said on the sub5ec;

Several OF our ranchers will be
unable to put In crops this sphlng
owing to the weakness OF their
horses. Many of the horses nave
had hard time to stretch the brit
tie thread to the present time ana
the impossibiity to get feed now
makes the poor animals useless.
Now Is the time for the government
TO act IL she has any action left and

'. Agricultural Department
Those who have become acquainted
with Miss Humphrey in the past
three years, since she first began work
under the dome. feel that her promo
ton is : fully deserved. Graduating
from the Cony High school in 1917,
she became very active part of the
higpwar machine handling the opera
tion Of the draft law. She was one of
the most valued assistants of the late
Captain William E. LaWry. who was
in especial charge of this work in the
ONCE Of the adjutant general.
When the hustle of war was over,
Miss Humphrey was engaged by the
Agricultural Department and since
she was to be connected with one of
ethe really big organizations of the
State, she started out to learn all that
she could learn. She has not only
proved herself to be a skilful stenog-
rapher and typist, but she has mas
tered the details Of office administra-
ton and has PINNED herself on agri-
cultural facts in way that has
caused her to be the envy of all 9TH
ers in the. department. Because Of
these facts. it is felt that Miss
Humphrey will prove one of the best
chief clerks the department has ever
had.
In addition to her Office accomplish
ments, Miss Humphrey is a reader Of
far more than ordinary ability and
has appeared at many public enter
tainments in Augusta. She is SO re-
firing in disposition ordinarily. how
ever, that her ordinary conversation
consists of only few words. Miss
Humphrey is very fond of outdoor
sports and is an enthusiastic tennis
player.

Can You Credit Il?

Everyone is supposed by this time
to know something about the work
ings of the Mothers Aid law. its pur-
pose and the methods by which the
available funds are distributed" said
Secretary ]. F. Bagley Of that board
That being the case" he continued
what do you think of the following
proposition?
THE board recently received word
from a woman that she would like to
take up the matter of boarding one or
two children. wards Of the State She
intimated that she would sort of like
to try them out to see if she liked
them and then if she did happen to
she might adopt them.
Now that was all right so far as it
appeared on the surface, but investi-
CATION by the board developed the
fact that the woman. if she found she
liked the children we'll enough to have
them around permanently. was plan
ming to apply for the Mothers Aid
money. That is. she would take the
States money at first for boarding
the children and then, if she could
stand their continual presence in her
home. would apply for Mothers Aid
1T may, be unnecessary to state
that no children have been placed in
the care of this woman"

Want Any Alfalfa?

Frank S. Adams. chief of the Diyi-
sion of Markets. Department of Agri-
culture. has received a communication
from H. A. Lyon, director of the Blu
reau of Markets. state of Idaho. stat
ing that the state of Idaho expects to
have an unusually large crop of hay
this season. The state has been ac-
customed to ship about $4,000 cars Of
alfalfa to Eastern parts of the coun-
try, but this year expects TO ship more
than 5000 cars of the same product
Mr.. Lyon is DESTROYS of ascertaining
if there is any market in Maine for
that commodity. ..-.
Alfalfa has been used to limited
extent in Maine, although all at
tempts in raising it here in Maine has
proved unsuccessful the climate not
appearing to be adapted to that
growth. Mr.. Adams will answer the
letter to the effect that there may pos
sibly be some market here for the
alfalfa. but thinks that the excessive
freight rates will prevent any quanti-
ty being ordered. especially as the hay
crop in Maine promises to be very
good.
