so much interest in our proposition
to have Maine inspection, that A. D.
Gail supervisor of the entire section
Of the United States, came to Boston
from New York headquarters to give
the Maine men instructions. W. H.
Crosby Of Houlton, chief inspector
for Aroostook county, and r. D. Par
sons of Pressure Isle, assistant in
spector, and myself went to Boston,
where we were put through course
Of lessons Mr.. Gail and G. W.
Payne, the Boston inspector, would
go through all the inspection work
with car Of potatoes, while we took
, observations and asked questions.
Then we were put onto the same job,
with the skilled men watching us.
! We were instructed in selecting
samples, weighing and ascertaining
the percentage Of detectives and pre-
pairing the statement such as to give
word picture of the actual condi-
tons in each carload of potatoes.
"Mr. Gail wants us to be able here
in Maine to make such a thorough
going inspection as will compare
with the Federal inspection, so that
the shipper will be protected on both
ends Of the line. You see, if any
claims should be made by purchasers
Of inferiority in any form and if our
Maine inspection report agreed with
the results of the Federal inspection
on the receiving end, then Uncle
Sam would come to the rescue of the
potato grower or seller.
"This department is heartily in IA
vor OF inspection on this end Of the
line, and We are backing our good
will toward the growers and ship
pers by. devoting $1,000 of our appro-
priation to that work We also re-
ceve a fee Of 81 a car lot and $50
for less than a car lot, with actual
expenses when away from the home
stations. If the farmers will take
hold Of this proposition, which is
solely for their benefit and protec-
ton, the appropriation and fees will
| give all the season service-if not,
then we will go as far as the money
will carry us and stop.
"This inspection is being done just
as the federal inspection is made. the
potato grades being the recognized
United States grades. We take at
least six samples from lot Of po-
tatoes; if they are all uniform. that
is deemed sufficient. The sample av-
erage % pounds in weight and the
weighing is done with government
approved scales.
III we think there has been any
danger Of freezing, here is a little
steel protected and steel pointed
thermometer that can be forced into
a potato until the mercury is where
the frost would be, If any. and the
mercury registers the temperature.
This is also a government approved
instrument.
I'VE plan to do the best work pos
sible for the farmers-it is now up to
them to take advantage of it."

Here's a Point in Ages Of
Young Bows for ADOPTION

Secretary James F. Bagley of the
State Board of Charities and Cor
rections had the look in his eye OF
the man who is glad to see the
newspaper chap-and they are not
all that way-so. the Journal man
simply sat down and waited, not
long. for Mr.. Bagley soon began:
II have just been signing, pur-
suant to authority granted me by
the board at its last meeting. for
the adoption Of four children. There
is nothing I do that gives me any
more satisfaction than to aff1x my
signature to a petition which means
a permane home for some boy or
girl who by reason of one misfor-
tune or another has become a pub
lie ward. It is surely a pleasure
to know that the child has lived
in someone's home until they have
come to love him as their own and
that after careful inquiry the State
Board has been satisfied that so far
as human foresight can determine.
this is a home that fits the child
and child that fits the home.
ana, Say, why 10 YOU suppose
it is that boys between four and J.
years of age are not as much in
demand as children of the opposite
sex or younger or older boys? To
a man who has boys of his own it
seems as if there would be much
more than enough pleasure in see
ing a boy Of this age grow and de-
velop to offset any trouble and ex-
pense. Just look at some of the
attractive boys of this age, think it
over and see If you don't agree with
me-"
And the Captain calmly turned to
his writing and the Journal man
| went out. The latter now passes it
along to the public for co2sidera-
ton.

GIRLS FIVE WINS FROM EMMET

The Hi school girls basket ball team succeeded yesterday in carrying the Emmet Hi five to "Goggle-eye City"
 The Prescott girls outmatched Elm met from start to finish, and the team work of the local team was marvellous throughout the game.
 In the first half of the game things didn't look so well for our girls, the score being tied until billiard and Neimeyer by series of clever passes threw two field goals. Those who saw the game say that the guards did the best playing they have ever witnessed. The whole team is to be praised on their excellent team work and the way each player handled her opponent
 This winning team is coached by Miss Cleo Gee, who through her un- tiring efforts has brought it from a bunch of inexperienced school girls to winning basket ball team.
 The lineup for Emmet was: For wards, Hazel Segler and Lois Beatty; centers, Orel Shell and Ora Wylie; guards, Jewell Bautts and Jewell Vicors.
 For Prescott: Forwards, Jessie Niemeyer and Stella billiard; centers, Thelma Hubbard and Nancy Wilson (captain); guards, Elya Bush and Opal Daniell.
 The final score was Prescott 24, Emmet 6; fowls for Prescott r; Emmet g.

CONVICTED OF MANSLAUCHTER
After Ten Hours Deliberation Jury Finds Miles Downs Guilty of Manslaughter - Leave Penalty to Court.

The jury sitting on the case of Miles Downs, charged with the mur- Der of Roy Stockton in this city last A April, after deliberating about ten hours, returned a verdict of volun- tary manslaughter this morning at S:30 o'clock, but reported to the |ceurt that they were unable to agree pn the punishment and asked that ltile court fix this The law fixes for voluntary man EIaughter from two to seven years, End Judge Haynie ordered that E9,owns should remain at liberty un- Her the same bond of $10,000 until Ieyt Monday morning when the pen Nlty will be announced by the court. k'he jury's verdict as read in open yourt is as follows: "We the jury Ind the defendant guilty of volun- slry manslaughter, but cannot agree yn the punishment" E, R.

EIGHT LOSE LIVES
 IN HOTEL FIRE
Incendiarism Believed Respon- sible for Blaze-LOss Esti- mated at S150,Oo0-Guests Were Trapped.

England, Arw., Jan. 7.-Incendia- rism was responsible for the fire which early this morning destroyed the Royal Hotel here and which caused the death of eight persons and the serious injury of five others, ac- cording to the verdict of a coroner's jury which this afternoon made an inY estigation of the deaths. The ar rest of a man suspected of setting fire to the building was ordered by the jury.
 The coroner's investigation was held behind closed doors and many persons whom it was believed might throw light on the origin of the fire were summoned. After the investi- gation Coroner J. T. Lipscomb stated that sufficient evidence had been heard to convince the jurors that the fire was started by man said to have made threats against Mrs. M. E. Smith, proprietor of the hotel The man suspected was said to have left England during the night or early this morning and thus far ef- forts to locate him have failed.
 The residents of this little cotton center are in a semi-panic stage to- night and they are deeply incensed and are looking for "the man who ddi it."
 They are not saying very much. They haven't announced who they are looking for. The situation is we'll in hand The local chapter of the Red Cross has cared for the victims with "England's funds" They good-na- turedly reject the suggestion that relief trains be sent to help them. They do not need outside assistance, they say. There is the impression on the little towns streets of very ap- parent gloom.
 Teh fire started on the second floor of the building and by consuming the stairways trapped the 20 guests on that floor Several of them escaped by knotting bedclothes together and letting themselves down through windows:
 The bodies of seven of the dead were recovered from the ruins today. The eighth victim died after reaching hospital in Little Rock.
