Huse, president and vice president
respectively of the Bath Chamber of
! Commerce, followed Mr.. Fuller in
asking for a reduction in the fares.
Questioned by Frank j. McArdle.
chief of the bureau of rates and fares
of the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Fuller said that he believed that
if the round trip tickets were cheaper.
that more automobiles would pass
over the ferry.
Yes, / believe that a good many
more tickets would be sold if the
rates were cheaper and the State
would get the money for the round
trip tickets, ETC., no matter when the
tickets were used" said Mr.. Fuller.
"A reasonable rate will bring
travel that the ferry is not now get
ting" said Mr.. Fuller in conclusion.
Senator Rupert H. Baxter of Saga
dahoc county said that it was gen.
orally understood that the fares
would be decreased under State oper-
alton.
1.-THE fares on the Bath State Ferry
have always been unpopular" said
Senator Baxter.
1T is not unusual for the Legisla-
ture to make up deficit in the con-
struction or the operation of roads or
bridges" continued Senator Baxter
1.-The State can be assumed to
furnish a reasonable service and any
reasonable deficit should be assumed
by the State in the operation of this
ferry like it would in the operation
of bridges or highways.
1.-THE fares should be reduced, in
my opinion. and if the fares are re-
ferry. These rates can, believe, be
reasonably adjusted"
Representative Joseph p.
Tucker Of Wiscasset declared that
the rates of fare on the ferry were
excessive and that there is feeling
among the people in his section of the
State that the fares are altogether too
high.
w. T. Boyd of Georgetown said
that local business is being lost on
account of the high rates of fare.
Mr.. Boyd further declared that the
ferry was part of the highway sys-
tenn and that decrease in the fares
would lessen the burden of the local
people.
w. T. Loud of Wiscasset said that
IS cents was enough to pay for the
transportation Of an automobile over
this ferry. He thought that a lower
rate would bring more business.
Tho commission reserved it's de-
cision.
Those present at the hearing were

accordance with the general policy
above outlined"
From the above statement it will
be seen that instead of the Governor
and Council assuming control over
the detours, that this control and
responsibility is directly placed upon
the Highway Commission, and they
are given whatever power they need
to provide for detours and keep them
in proper condition.
The question of detours is a diff
cult one, but the solution of the
problem is made much simpler by
reason of the Council Order that was
passed, the responsibility. instead Of
being divided, is. now placed solely
upon the Highway Commission.
This statement is given to the press
in order that the people of the State
may understand just what the rule is
in regard to detours and that under
the present plan detours should be
taken care of in a more satisfactory
manner than in the past

NEW RULES FOR SEED
POTATO CERTIFICATION

The revised rules and regulations
completed and are ready for circula-
ton by the Department of Agricul-
in cooperation with the Maine Seed
Improvement Association. f. L..
Improvement, said concerning the
new rules:
president N H. Rich of Charles
ton of the Maine Seed Improvement
Association last winter appointed a
committee for this revision, consist
ing of DIR. w. j. Morse, director of
the EXperimnt Station at the Uni
versity of Maine; NJ. D. Jones of Oro-
no, farm management demonstration
Guy c. Porter of Houlton. sales man
ager for the Aroostook Federation of
Farmers; c. NJ White of Augusta,
chief of the Division of Markets; and
f. L. Newdick, chief of the Bureau of
Seed Improvement
THE committee took all the stand
ards used by other states that are en-
gagged in the certified seed work and
compared them; adopting a standard
for Maine which, we believe, is fair
to the potato growers and the ones
south of us who buy our certified
seed potatoes. We hope and believe
that the new rules will be satisfacto-
ry to all.
Eighteen entries have so far been
received, with a total of 200 acres,
from farmers growing certified seed
potatoes. 1t is early to determine
just what certified seed acreage will
be planted, because the entries as a
rule, do not begin to come in until
about June 90. But it seems rea-
sonable to say, however. that it will
be in the neighborhood of 1900 acres
for inspection this year. This is an
increase of about 70 per cent. over
based on the correspondence now on
file in this office, but the actual entry
blanks have not yet been signed.
TT is planned to start the field in
spection work in the last week of
June. on the Cobblers and a field
force of six men has already been en-
gagged 1t will take until digging time
to complete the inspection work"
The new rules and regulations fol-

Prerequisites to Entering Potatoes

I. 1t is recommended that pota-
toes entered for certification be
grown upon land that was not in po-
tatoes the previous season, and that
fields so entered be isolated, as far as
possible, from other potato fields
planted with other strains of seed.
3 1t is recommended that the seed
used be as free as possible from COM

infected with formaldehyde or corro-

To remove the film

Your teeth are coated with dingy film.
It is viscous you can feel it with your
tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays It clouds the teeth and causes
most tooth troubles.
The ordinary tooth paste does not effec-
lively combat it, so the tooth brush has left
much of it intact. As 4 result, teeth lose
their luster. And, despite all brushing, tooth
troubles have been constantly increasing.
The film is what discolors, not the teeth.
Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the teeth to
cause decay.
Germs breed by millions in It. They, with
