READY FOR CHILDREn'S
CHRISTMAS TREE 2.3O P. N.
THURSDAY AT STATE HOUSE

The kennebec county wards of the
State and in the care of the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
will on Thursday afternoon be the
guests of Santa Claus at the State
House. Santa Claus sent word on
Tuesday that he would arrive at the
Capitol between $50 and 2.4J o'clock
that afternoon and to have every one
there and everything that he should
need ready, for he could stay but a
little while, having so many engage
ments.
The tree. over 20 feet tall, has been
placed in position in the hall of the
House. 1t was secured by the State
House mechanician, Clarence NJ.
Pierce, who has had his eye on it
since last winter. 1t will be deco
rated today. The Central Maine
Power Co, as last year, will furnish
the lighting.
The Cony High school orchestra
and Miss F'lorice Sawyard. Cony
High student and a talented elocu-
zionist, have donated their services
for entertainment.
The financial ommittee-Charles

ice eighton-Tuesday night sent out
$50 letters asking contributions and
inviting attendance at the tree. By 3
P. NJ. Wednesday over $50 answers
had been received, each with a re-
mittance. Other cash contributions
have also been received. Toys, games
and dolls have come in well, but
more are needed. Toys and games
have been received from the Baptist
Sunday school and the Methodist
Sunshine workers; a consignment Of
dolls from Loring, Short & Har-
mon: 10 new books from the Educa-
tional department and many gifts
from individuals.
No donations Of refreshments have
as yet come in, but probably will. The
committee said yesterday afternoon
that gifts of sleds, skates and or
anges would be very much appre-
ciated. The sleds and skates need
| not be new, simply serviceable.

DOUBLE HEADER
IN CHURCH LEAGUE
Catholics Win From Second Chris
tians and Baptists Lose To
FirstS
HOW THEY STAND
(By Edgar T. Higgins

Richmond fans were treated to
a double-header in the Church
League Friday to make up for
several which have been postpon-
ed lately.
The Second Christians received
their second straight defeat of the
season by a score of 2 to l, at the
hands Of the Catholics or team
playing as such. Only two mem
bers of team were Catholics and
one of these only played in part of
the game. The first game was
called at 2 o'clock on Normal
Field Friday in order to get in
two games. This is the tightest
game played, SO far in the Church
League. This defeat of the Sec
ond Christians and the win Of the
First Christians gives the latter a
safe hold to the top round OF the
ladder.
Sam Reid, the Madison High
star, pitched sterling ball for the
victors. His strike out total
reached eleven and he issued only
two bases on balls. His control
was exceptionally good, the first
five balls thrown being strikes. In
three innings he retired all men
by the strike-out route.
Leon Elder led the Catholics in
hitting with two connections in
three times at bat.
The Second Christians tied the
score in the fourth on c. Rogers
single, a stolen base, a passed bail
and a hit by Tanning.
The Catholics won out in the
seventh on Yahram's we'll placed
bunt. a wild throw, an out at first
and a passed ball The score:

Tobacco Organization
Progressing Satisfactorily

Editorial Lancaster Record
The effort to procure co-opera-
ton in marketing among the
growers of tobacco is being IA
vorably received by the growers
in ali parts of the country. II
should be no trouble to convince
the grower that the present
method of selling tobacco wholly
depriveS him OF any opportunity
for a voice in liking the price
All the crop that is produced
whether it be large or small, is
dumped upon the market N q
few weeks time. This frequent
ly results in embarrassing the
purchaser, not only in acquiring
sufficient money to handle tie
crop in so short d period, bu:
makes it difficult in procuring ard
providing storage space for. the
crop and at the same time makes
it very expensive on the purchas-
er in preparing the crop iii SC
short time Ior storage, sucn as
redrying. Casual thought cor
vinces everybody that the pres
ent auction system of disposinG
OF tobacco should be changed
because it does not give the pro-
Queer a chance to get what his
article is worth. Agreeing then,
that the present system of selling
should be changed, the grower Is
asked to consider the plan offer
ed for the cooperative marketin"
of the to'accc.
We invite the tobacco growers
who are readers of the KccorG
to study the piar and to become
interested in It. 1t is our opi11-
ion that all Who give it a far
consideration VII be favorabiy
impressed The growers are no:
the only interested parties in this
movement, for 10th business anG
professional men are dependent
largely for success upon the for
tunes Of the tobacco growers,
wherever this industry has be
come a feature in the Agriculture
al districts. The plan. as su@-
gested, include; then holding OF
tobacco until the purchasers or
manufacturers are in need OF The
raw material for Consumption.
Another feature is that the or
ganization is not built upon the
idea of any profit to anyone, ex-
eept the grower, and only grow
ers can become members of the
organization. The grower will
be paid for his crop upon delivery
more than he would probably re-
ceive if there was no organiza-
ton and the net sum realized by
holding the product off the mar
ket and furnishing as the trade
demands, it viii be paid to the
grower as each grade is finally
disposed Of. The growers of to-
bacco should avail themselves of
every opportunity to hear the
plan discussed until it is as fully
understood over the tobacco
growing districts of the country.
