Too Valuable to Lose

Maybe a member of the Augusta
police force does not believe that il
is the small things in life that count
or that the men who accosted him on
the street and asked the bluecoat to
guard peck of potatoes while the
man went to the bank to get a check
cashed is Small potatoes" This act
ually happened this week. This man
said that he had just paid $3.50 for a
peck of potatoes and he didn't want
to lose them. Needless to say, the
spuds were unmolested. This same
member of the department was also
asked by an excited man in the rail-
road station to guard a bag of eggs,
two of which had been broken, while
the man went out and procured an
other bag.

w. Grant Farnham
in State HOSPITAL

w. Grant Farnham, convicted and
sentenced to the State Prison at
Thomaston at the April term of
court, but whose appeal brought his
incarceration at Knox county Jail
instead, has been ordered by the
court to confinement at the Augusta
State hospital and is at present in
that institution where he is under
examination. He will be there for a
period long enough to determine
whether or not he is insane. This
action was taken at the pleading of
Mr.. Farnham's sister, the wife of
Congressman Robert A. Luce of
Massachusetts.
Deputy Sheriff John P. Kelley of
Boothbay Harbor executed the
courts orders by taking the man
from his place of confinement to the
hospital in this city, making the
trip by automobile.
1t will be recalled that w. Grant
Farnham was convicted on the
charge of attempt to kill his wife.

The attitude of the physician and
the health officer to the public health
nurse is an important matter for she
is absolutely powerless without their
support, says the Maine Department
of Health. Few doctors heretofore
have had public health training and
are apt to look upon this innovation
with prejudice and suspicion. Nova
days it is evident that a splendid
spirit Of cooperation is developing
between the two in the common inter-
est of the public good. 1t is through
the public health nurse that the most
widespread education of the public in
matters Of sanitation and health can
be obtained.

FOURTH maine
B a ttery Association
18th Reunion

Held Wednesday Afternoon in 6. A.
r. Hall in This City-Dinner the
First Event on the Program -
Officers Elected and Resolutions
The 38th reunion of the Fourth
Maine Battery Association was held
at the G. A. r. hall in this city
Wednesday,. The weather being un-
favorable but few responded to the
appeal of the secretary to get out a
goodly number. One member, Lew
ellyn Lincoln, made the trip from
Stoneham, Mass. Another, John
Foss of Harmony. although 80 years
old, made the round trip by steam
and electric roads regardless eof the
rain.
On account of the long distance
some had travelled and the lateness
of their arrival dinner was the first
thing on the program and the
Daughters of Veterans provided a
dinner which was equal to the repu-
tation they had hoped to have as
dinner servers.
Prayer was offered by Mrs. Annie
Palmer, chaplain of the Clara Bar
ton Tent. A speech of welcome was
given by Judge Robert Cony, depart
ment commander Of the Sons Of Vet
Grams. The response was by J. F.
CLANCY, president of the association,
