High School Juniors Greet
Freshmen and Friends

The Junior reception to the in
coming class and friends, their pas
rents and the alumni and friends of
the school, held Friday evening at
the High school, was one of the most
attractive and successful events in
the history of the Institution.
The strikingly artistic decorations
of the gymnasium where the recep-
ton was held excited admiring com
ment from all who were privileged to
see them. Festoons of cheerful red
and white We're draped from the cen
ter to the sides of the hall, and the
lamps were attractively and ingen-
iously shaded with the same alter
nate red. and white. But the final
touch, genuinely artistic and effec-
tive, was the massing of the many
colored autumn leaves against the
neutral background of the freshly
reason to be proud of this triumph
of taste and hard work.
Promptly at o'clock the receiving
line formed on the floor, headed by
Superintendent and Mrs. Packard.
In the line were the principal, Mr..
Carver, his assistants and the pres
ident and vice president of the Junior
class, Kenneth Cole and Audrey
Snare.
After the formal reception. at
which the Junior girls in gay-colored
organdy gowns acted as ushers, there
followed dancing, to the excellent mu-
sic furnished by Fox brothers Or
chestra.
The affair Vas exceptionally well
attended by alumni. parents and
friends of the school, who enjoyed
tho atmosphere of youth and gayety,
the background of decorate tons. tho
music. and, last but not least, the
refreshments.
And as the guests took their reluc-
tant departure on the stroke of
eleven they were unanimously agreed
that no host could excel the class of
1923: no party could ever be nicer"
than the Junior Reception of Oc-
tober, 1921, in Halloweu High.

Exports to Canada
Must Be Marked

Judge BENJAMIN f. CleaveS, execu-
tive secretary of the Associated In
dustries of Maine received at his Of
f1ce in this city recently an important
bulletin touching on a new Canadian
law, which will go into effect Janu-
Iary 1, 1922. This law provides that
Jail goods imported into the Domin-
ion must be plainly marked with the
country of origin. Because of our
close proximity to the Canadian
boundry this law is of especial inter-
est to Maine manufacturers.
This law was originally intended to
come into force on the first day of
October, 1921. but the date was later
extended to January l. 1922. Cana
dian collectors of customs have been
instructed in detail regarding the
new regulations. and the law will be
strictly enforced as soon as put into
operation. All goods not properly
marked with the origin country on the
first of January will be subject to an
additional tax of 10 per cent ad
valorum. and the goods will be held
in the customs houses until stenciled
to comply with the statute The text
of the new law follows:
"12A. That all goods imported into
Canada which are capable of being
marked, stamped, branded or labeled,
without injury shall be marked,
stamped, branded or labeled in legi-
BILE English or French words, in a
conspicuous place that shall not be
covered or obscured by any subse-
quent attachments or arrangements.
so as to indicate the country or orr
GIN Said marking. stamping, brand
ing or labelling shall be as nearly in
deliable and permanent as the nature
of the goods will permit
provided that all goods imported
into Canada after the date of the
coming into force of this section
which do not comply with the fore
going requirements shall be subject
to an additional duty of 10 per cent
UNI ad valorum to be levied on the
value for duty purposes and in addi-
ton such goods shall not be released
from Customs possession until they
have been SO marked. stamped,
branded or labeled under Customs
supervision at the expense of the i'm
porter.
Provided further that if any per-
son shall violate any of the provi-
sions relating to the marking, stamp
ing, branding, or labelling of any i'm
ported goods, or shall dcface, destroy.
remove, alter. or obliterate any such
marks. stamps, brands or labels he
shall be liable on summary convic-
ton to a penalty not exceeding $1,000.
or to imprisonment not exceeding one
year. or to both fine and imprison-
ment The Minister of Customs and
Inland Revenue may make such regu-
lations as are deemed necessary for
the carrying.out the provisions of this
section and for the enforcement
thereof"

Giants Third Stacker
May Be "Gleason" Of
Twilight League Fame

Youth named Gleason made a
fine impression on local fans in the
twilight league of couple of years
ago. He played third base and at
different times during the season was
in the lineup of several Augusta ag-
gregations. He passed the summer
at lake resort nearby and at the
close OF the season returned to his
studies at Fordham college. Several
fans, after seeing the pictures of
Frlsch the Giants star hot corner
guardians, are positive that he is
none other than the Gleason who
played in Augusta.
