ARGUMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
Judgment Rendered Against County
Because cuIvert Was obscured
by Weed Patch.

An argument for good roads that
carries with 1t a sharp punch in the
way Of substantial judgment for
damages Is disclosed In recent de-
cision Of the supreme court Of Wis
consIn. In this case 1t appears that
when a machine went out of the traf-
fic path of an old-fashioned country
road for the purpose Of letting a
tractor pass IT struck the cement
curblng at the end Of a culvert which
crossed the road at this point. Be
ing covered with weeds the obstruc-
ton was not seen until the accident
occurred. The county was held liable
In damages for the accident.

In order to preserve the delicate
meteorological instruments on the
dome Of the federal building In Chi
cago from the effects of weather and
to insure their operation at all times,
1t Is necessary for them to be cleaned
and oiled every day, especially in the
case of the revolving wind recorder,
which surmounts the top of the steel
pole on the highest point Of the dome.
The top of this pole Is about 300 feet
high. To attend to this work, Harry
Brostoff, wearing gas mask, has to
climb the pole by means OF steel
ladder every morning In all kinds Of
weather. This task is particularly
difficult and hazardous on stormy or
windy days.

ments of the railroads there is great
need for material Improvement
throughout the land. Over the coun.
try roads move the raw materials
that go to make up vast proportion
Of the tonnage carried by the railroads.
The present freight congestion has
emphasized the Importance OF the

Much relief for the railroads has
come through the immense tonnage

Wallace W. Andrews of Portland, a
native of West Paris, has recently re-
turned from France, where he went to
visit the grave of bis son, Harold T. An
drews, who was killed in the late war.
He travelled over Northern France and
visited between ninety and one hundred
cemeteries before he found bis sons
resting place, which Is in a pleasant spot
beside his comrades. Mr.. and Mrs. An.
drews are as yet undecided as to whether
they will have bis remains brought home.
In the United States District Court
last week Judge Hale handed down an
opinion refusing new trial in the case
of Charles O. Dunton against the United
States Railroad administration wherein
damages were awarded him in the sum
of 1925 for personal injuries. The
court ordered the verdict cut down to
$50, 900 and new trial In event OF Its be-
ing refused. Mr.. Dunton was brake
man on the Rangeley Division of the
Maine Central Railroad and lives at

Holman Day and the Edgar Jones Pro-
duction Company were in Waterville
last week and filmed more scenes for the
perturbation of Mr.. Days book, "The
Rolling of the King Log" The scenes
were taken on Colby College campus un-
der the direction of Harry Hoyt, one Of
the finest directors in the country. 1t
will be seven reel special production.
The scene showed the visit of Cava-
naugh, the lumbermsn, to the college to
attend the graduation of his daughter
Glare, and bis death there. The funeral
scene is to be taken In North Arson, so
Mr.. Day stated, and will be one of the
most realistic scenes of the picture. The
body of the lumbermsn will be placed In
bateau and conveyed to the burial
place on q heavy four wheeled vehicle
drawn by six of the largest wood horses
they can find In that part of the country
At either corner of the bier will stand Q
giant woodman with pick pole and

Gain In Vote.

Perhaps as great an interest as any IL
the election last Monday was curiosity
as to the size of the woman vote. II
had been estimated some $4,000 womer
registered. On Tuesday morning the
Associated Press reported 5S7 preclnctt
out of 632. the increase in vote of which
was 55,47S, which may be considered
the size of the female vote in those pre-
cincts.
As for Oxford County the vote of 1918
has been contrasted below with that OF
Monday. If the gain indicated Is the
female vote, then one can see that inter
est varied in the several towns. The
returns are complete. All the towns
made gains with the exception of Newry
which lost one vote.
The size of the gubernatorial vote In
1918 in Oxford County was 7040, divided
between the parties as follows,-Repub-
lican 1882, Democrats 1858. The add.
tional vote in the county this year
amounts to 1912 which may be consid-
cred largely the female vote. Below is
table Of the votes of the several towns
in the county:

Election Results.

Lanoelide 10 an insufficient term Witt
which to describe the Maine election oil
last Monday. There IL occasionally Q
man who processes not to be astonished,
but most people are willing to admit
their surprise, and were frankly incredu.
lous when the summaries began to come
over the wires Monday night.
Col. Frederic w. Parkhurst, the
Republican candidate for governor, Ia
elected by plurality of approximately
GO, 0S7 over Hon. Bertrand G.. McIntire,
his Democratic opponent-by many
thousand the largest plurality ever given
In q Maine election. Roy L. Wardwell
Of Augusta is elected state auditor by
approximately the same plurality.
The four Republican candidates for
representative to congress Carroll L.
Beedy of Portland in the First District,
Wallace 81. White, Jr., of Lewiston In
the Second District, John A. Peters of
Ellsworth in the Third District, and Ira
G. Jersey of Houlton in the Fourth
District-are elected by pluralities rang
ing from q little less than 5000 for
White to more than 10000 for Peters.
Every county was carried by the
Republicans, including Knox County,
which has for some time been Demo-
cratic. The only Democrats elected on
Monday were thirteen or fourteen men,
bers of the house of representatives, out
Of ISL members of that body. OF these
Democrats five are from Lewiston, two
from Biddeford, two from Waterville,
one from Brunswick, one from Knox
County and two from Aroostook Coun-
ty.
= OF the constitutional amendments SUBJ
mitted, 1t is understood that that
authorizing the dividing of towns into
voting districts and that authorizing the
soldiers bonus are adopted by good
msjorities, while that authorizing tax
on incomes is defeated. The law grant
ing the right of presidential suffrage to
women Is approved on the referendum
vote-which of course under the condi-
tons is without legal significance.
In Oxford County the Republican plu-
rality Ia some over 1900 on the governor
vote, and considerably larger on the
other officers.
The officers elected in Oxford County
are the following, all Republicans:
County Arorney-Harry M. SnaWs fariS.
Judge of Probate-Aretas E. Stearns, Rum
