TAXES FORGE PARIS
 THEATRES TO CLOSE
tBY United Eress

Paris, March 1.-Paris is threaten ing to become the theatreless city By way of recompense, however, she plans to take on the added dignity and glory of the worlds dancing center.
 This is due to two reasons: First the new war taxes which affect the receipts of all theatres and amuse- ment places ;and secondly the present Parsian vogue of dancing.
 In an effort to pay off her war in debtedness, France has just clapped a bunch of ne wtaxes on the theatres, music halls and movies. Coupled with the taxes they were already paying the theatre directors at last declare that they are already permanently out of business.
 To keep from starving however they will turn their theatres into danc- ing establishments with the dansants and with balls in the evening. Taxes now imposed on theatres, es- pecially of the revue type with which Paris abounds now total 35 per cent of their gross receipts. They are di. vided up as follows: 10 per cent for | the poor which has been a tax long established at Paris; 10 per cent roy. alty to the authors, and then the new war tax of 15 per cent

FINES 5 BOYS FOR
 LOAFING AT STATION

Five boys were fined $1 each and the marshals cost by Mayor W. D. Cole this morning for loating and mis- conduct at the Missouri Pacific pas senger station. It was charged that the boys, together with others who have not yet been apprehended, had been scattering ashes, overturning cuspidors and whiting on benches in the white waiting rooms.
 "The state law requires us to keep the waiting rooms open, lighted and heated at all hours,' said Station Agent B. C. Benedict today, "and while this is an accommodation to the travelling public in some instances, it furnishes an agreeable loafng place for boys and men who seem to have no desire to keep the place looking de cent or orderly We have asked the city authorities to assist us in keep ing down abuses of this character and allow us to keep the waiting rooms sanitary and comfortable for those who are entitled to it's privileges" :"

Although the buds are rather far advanced for the time of year, far mers in this vicinity do not believe that the severe freezes of the past week have damaged peach or other fruit crops. Examination was made of buds on number of trees near Conway yesterday and none of them were found to be killed. As shown by the weekly report of Local Observer k. E.

idly. Clerks, bookkeepers, salesmen and even those in professional lines, are answering to the lure of high wages for common labor and still higher pay for semi-skilled workers.
 The shortage of rooms is held as a direct cause for mounting wages. As 1t is practically impossible to house newcomers, manufacturing plants are forced to compete against each for the local workers, with the result that a constant turnover of labor is on at nearly all plants with each change driving wages upward.

STATE HOUSE

A. M. G. Soule, chief Of the Division
of Inspection, Maine Department Of
Agriculture. has returned from a
tour Of inspection in Aroostook
county, the great potato areas being
visited.
1t will be remembered that during
the year 1919 a great deal Of damage
to potatoes was caused by the pres
encet Of borax in the commercial
fertilizer. 1t was not thought that
any further trouble would arise from
the presence Of that quantity Of the
poison in the soil, and it seemed al
most incredible to find fields Of
wheat and oats. sown on some Of the
infected potato acreage Of last year
to be suffering from the toxic effect
Of the borax used last year in the
fertilizer.
The appearance Of these affected
fields of wheat and oats is so striking
that it is very evident that they are
where there were rows Of potatoes
last. they very plainly showing in the
small and Drowned plants. while on
each side in the spaces between the
former rows the plants are green and
healthy. The soil has been analysed
and enough borax detected to prove
it's danger to the crops.
Mr.. Soule says that the department
did not look for such an effect, in
fact the fertilizer people assured the
farmers that such would not be the
case. Tho department. Immediately

to why certain fieeces were put INTO
certain grades. After full expla-
nation has been given. the next re-
quest from them would be: How can
the quality of my wool be improved
This being an educational feature
those having the work in charge
have taken every opportunity to e1-
plain the different ways in which the
quality of wool as well as the quality
of sheep may be improved.
Two points stand out very promi-
nently in connection with this part
Of the work. Usually the first recon-
mendation was to eliminate all para
site diseases as far as possible, CIV
ing the necessary instruction for so
doing. The next point to be ad-
vised was the question of breeding
by using pure-bred rams. explaining
the necessary changes to be made as
to breed in securing the desired
quality of wool. both as to its diam
eter and length Of fibre.
1T is believed that this project of
demonstration cannot fail in accom-
plishing good results in every section
where done. 1t is plainly evident to
those having the work in charge that
the quality Of the wool grown in
Maine should be and could be very
much improved by following the in
structions as given. Very few men
were found having very much knowl-

was often made by growers that
they had fine lot Of wool, con-
sidered the best in their town. They
were often disappointed on seeing.
when their wool was graded, a large
part of it going into lower grades.

pert, has been very careful and

day afternoon at the rectory of st.

1919. Mr.. Brown attended the pub
lie schools and High school in the
city and served in the u. S. navy

Maine Wool Grading
Exceeds Expectations

c. H. Crawford, the sheep expert
Of the Maine Department of Agricul-
ture, has returned from several
weeks on the road, in a tour of wool
grading for the Maine Sheep and
Wool Growers Association, being ac-
companied by DR.. L. S. Cleaves, vice
president of the Extension Ser
vice, Orono; Joseph H. Hanson, wool
grader for the Bureau of Markets,
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, d. c., c. M. White, field agent
of the Maine Division of Markets. H.
M. Tucker, chief Of the Division Of
Animal Industry. and the following
county agents in their sections: A..
K. Gardner of Franklin county; C.
A. Day Of Kennebec; C. c. Larrabee
Of Piscataquis; and Fenton Tomlin-
son Of Washington.
A total of almost Is tons of wool
was graded, bagged and shipped for
the members of the association, the
exact figures being 2s,ss9 pounds.
Good crowds were present at all the
stations where grading was done.
The towns visited and not already
reported furnished the following
amounts of wool:
South China. 1852 pounds; Water

Machias. 1911; Dennysville. 1850:

'The demonstrations -. A. ..

growers the difference in the various
grades and by comparing the differ
ent grades, has succeeded in convinc-
ing them that the wool was correctly
graded, SO that in many cases the
statement would follow that certain
sheep in the herd would be elimi-
mated and If the right breed and type
Of ram could be procured. they would
certainly be bought for this years

I'VE find a great many farmers
who would like to come into the
association this year, but the demon

Mr.. Hanson being obliged to leave
the State for work elsewhere. The
association is also receiving letters
from farmers of various sections,
who wish to have their wool shipped
by the association. To these men
shipping instructions are given for
the wool to be shipped to the Boston
house, where it will be graded and

stated. The department had been
asked last year if this was likely to
occur, and as is usual suggested ro-
tation of crops, which in many cases
was followed. The toxic effect OF the
borax is not found in all fields that
used the poor fertilizer last year and
the area is not large, leading to the
suspicion that there may be some Pc
cunar relation between that particu-
lar soil and the poison.
Mr.. Soule says that it is indicated
to a marked degree that less damage
occurred on land that had been
ploughed in the fall. On the land
ploughed in the spring the toxic eff
feet on the crops was much more
marked.
He also stated that the fertilizer
being supplied this year is, so far as
the department can learn, much SUI
perior to that of last year and as
nearly free from borax as can be man
more careful and strict than ever.
taken more samples and the analysis
have been satisfactory. The dealers
also have been apparently very anx-
ious to furnish but the best of goods,
have sent in their samples early with
a request for prompt analysis and
report.
Mr.. Soule also mentioned a peculiar
and significant fact-that in many
places use Of barnyard manure has
very largely counteracted the poison
Gus effect of the borax
1t is desired by the department that
any indications of the presence of
borax or any unusual or bad looks
among the crops be Immediately re-
ported. so that prompt investigation
may be made.
A hearing will be held by the Gov
ernor and Council at 10 o'clock this
morning on the petitions for the par
don Of George Logan and John e. Da-
wilson. both of Portland, who are
serving sentences Of six months in
the Cumberland county Jail for steal
ing two automobile tires and tubes.
They were committed to the Port
land jail April Il. 1920.
The petitions state that Logan Is
married, having a wife and two small
! children, who need his support. He
states that he was never before con-
| victed of any crime, he has reformed
and has paid the penalty of his
crime.
Davidson states that he has an
