Not Enough Travelling
Libraries to Supply Demand

1T certainly pays to let people
know what you have to dispose of, no
matter what the commodity, doesn't
it," was the remark of State Lii
brarian Henry E. Dunnack. Il mean,
that constant placing the fact that
one of the commodities the State Lii
brary has to dispose of is the travel
ing library. When ! came into the
library, l often wondered what we
were going to do with all the cases of
Travelling Library books. They were
heaped here and heaped there, right
in the way and under foot. The de-
mand was very light. But now, we
can't begin to supply the demand.
II began a systematic campaign of
telling the people what we had and
the great entertainment and benefit
they could secure from a library and
the press very kindly helped it along,
until we cannot begin to send out
anywhere near the number of books
called for. lust call on Miss Stuart,
in charge of that work, and see if !
am not correct"
The suggestion was followed and as
quickly as a fash, Miss Stuart said:
That is surely correct. We have
about $50 Travelling Libraries and but
very few of them can be found here.
Some OF the books out are nearly in
tatters. but the demand is such that

Death of orrie A. Mckenney

The Public Utilities Commission
has rendered a decision in the case of
Orrie A. Mckenney of Lincoln, who
was fatally injured at I.3S P. NJ, on
Sept. Is last. at Lindsay crossing in
Lincoln Village. when his automobile
was struck by Maine Central passen-
ger train No. 400. Mr.. Mckenney7waS
on his way from his garage to his
home. which is located on the oppo-
site side of the track and not la,
from the crossing. He was in a dying
condition when picked up from
whence he was thrown and died
about the time the doctor arrived.
The decision says, in part:
The vision at this crossing is OBJ
scured by buildings on three of the
angles and the fourth by a large era .
abple tree The crossing is protected
by an automatic bell of the old type.
The train approached, at about 80
miles an hour belt ringing and whistle
blown. Mr.. Mckinney came to the
crossing quite rapidly and evidently
did not see or hear the train until too
late to avoid the collision. The de-
cision concludes:
Evidently Mr.. Mckenney failed to
take the necessary precautions to
protect himself against accident
when approaching this dangerous
crossing. with which he must have
been. familiar. Since this accident
occurred. complaint has been filed
with this commission by the select
men of the town of Lincoln, relative
to this crossing. with a request for
better protection. This complaint is
now pending before the commission
and a hearing on same will be held
at an early date"

COMMON SEAWEED

A Valuable Natural Source of Potash
Something from the Experiments
Made at Various Times by the
Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station at Orono

Office of Director Charles d. Woods of
the Maine Agricultural experiment
station at the University of Maine:

along the coast continue to be re-

The principal deeper water sea-
weeds are two species of Laminaria,
the ribbon weed or kelp; and the
broad ribbon weed, or broad leafed
kelp. frequently called DEVILS apron.
Perhaps three-fourths of the shore
weeds covering the rocks between
tide marks are two species of Fucus,

carried for the most part much more
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
than the same species collected in the
summer season. On this account it is
advisable to collect the seaweeds
during the winter months. and if it
is not convenient to apply them at
once to the fields. they may be stored
in large heaps until spring.
While the different species of sea-
weeds probably differ in composition.

Winter collected seaweeds. both keIp
and rockwell, carry about 80 per
cent of water. 4 per cent nitrogen. Il
per cent phosphoric acid. .5 per cent
lime. and 6 per cent potash.
On account of the large water con-
tent and consequent weight of sea-
weeds, transportation far inland is
not profitable. A part of the water
can be removed by spreading out
thinly on the shore and allowing ex-

|FARNUM'S LOVE
FOR ANIMALS
AIDS HIS ART

One of the touching scenes of THE
Adventurer," the Fox production of
Z. Lloyd Sheldon's romantic drama,
which will be shown at the Augusta
Opera house on Friday and Saturday
in which William Farnum, the favor
lite son of Maine returns to Augusta,
shows the star selling his last val
liable asset, his favorite horse which
in spite of poverty he has managed
to save until the necessity for food
compels him to sacrifice the animal.
William Farnum is noted for his
love for animals. On his estate at
Sag Harbor, Long Island, is an old
horse that appeared with the sterling
actor years ago in Ben Hur." This
animal has been pensioned by Far
mum and romps at will across the
pastures of the Sag Harbor home.
Farnum never is without dogs. He
has some that are very valuable, and
the care they receive is the cause of
much comment by people who know
the home life of the Fox star.
1t is probably for this reason that
the scene in THE Adventurer." in
which the dealer is bargaining for
the horse of the hero of the story is
one of the most touching of the pro-
duction. Farnum's great art comes
to the front in this scene. supported
in its effectiveness by his intense
love for the brute creation.
But this big Fox feature with Will
liam Farnum is not the only thing
Manager Appleby has provided for
