Invitations to the annual meeting of
the Maine Forestry Association, at

ed during the past week." said w. A.
Hennessy secretary of the assOcia-
ton, and chairman of the committee
on arrangements. today in discussing
plans for the meeting.
An. attempt has been made to
reach not only all cumberland owners
and woodusers, but also business men
generally and organizations such as
Chambers of Commerce. Rotary
Clubs, members of The Associated
Industries, Women's Clubs, etc. A
considerable number of these have
already arranged to send official DEL
esates to the meeting and it is hoped
that others will 90 so. Invitations
have also been sent. so far as posi-
bic, to individuals who are known to
De or, who clearly ought to be inter-
'sted in the protection and perpetual
ion of the forest resources of the
'tate. If any one has been over
Ooked. we can assure him that the
oversight was unintentional and that
re will be cordially welcomed at the
Meeting. whether or not he happens
o be member of the association.
'One of the main features of the
meeting will be the dinner at the Au-
gusta House on Friday evening, Jan.
s. Dean James w. Tourney, Of the
Yale Forest School. will be the prin-
3ipal speaker. and will discuss the
national situation in forestry with
special reference to forest conditions
in this State and the opportunities
for the State Forestry Association.
President Gray of Bates is to act as
postmaster, and there will be a con-
siderable number of very short talks
by prominent men from all parts of
he State as we'll as from other
States. The meeting will be called to
order at 10 A. NJ. on Jan. 6, and will
adjourn by noon of the following day.
This will give ample time to permit of
adequate discussion of the affairs Of
the Association and at the same time
make it possible for those in attend
ance to reach home for Sunday. The
final program will shortly be an
rounced."

You Need Not Worry
About Your Few Coins
Spreading Disease

Urbana, ILL.,. Dec. 2s-There seems
to be little basis for the belief that
coins bear any close relation to the
spread of disease. according to an
announcement made at the Uni
yersity of Illinois here by Drs. Char
lotte B. Ward and Fred w. Tanner. :,
of the University. following a series
of tests made by the two.
Coins of the lower denominations
were examined for the types of bac- !

because it usually moves so quickly !

also been stated that cashiers andi
others whose vocations require them
\ to handle money in larger quantities
than the average person. might be
more susceptible to disease but this
does not seem to be the case.
ut seems that the very metals
from which the coins are made act
to destroy the bacteria which ZACH
the coins. In the study only the
more resistant of bacteria. the spore-
forming bacteria. were found. This
indicates that money need not be
feared for bacteria cannot live long
on it.
"These findings. however. do not
justify holding coins in the mouth
while the hands are serving other
purposes. u
"Coins as they are passed from
person to person come in contact
with acids and alkalis which form
soluble salts on their surfaces, sayP-
the report on the tests.
This Is indicated by the green
color often noticed on pennies and
the furnished appea rances on nickels.
These salts are the cause Of the death

Russian Famine Re-
lief Men to Be Ban
ished to Interior

Moscow, Dec. 5-(By MaiD -Ban-
ishment to TOtma, q small village in
Nologda province more than 100
miles from the railway, is the penal
ty imposed upon DR.. n. NJ. Kishkin
and nine of his associates on the All
Russian Committee for Famine Re-
lief who were arrested three months
ago just as they were preparing to
leave 10, England to enlist foreign aid
in the battle against famine.
Maxim Gorky was a member of this
committee. He has since left Russia
and gone 10 Germany, to the intense
displeasu.'e Of many Russians who al
iege that Gorky gave his word he
would never leave Russia until his
associates on the relief committee
We're released.
DR.. kishkin was minister for home
affairs under the Kerensky regime
and was several times mayor of Mos
COW. He was formerly a prominent
leader in the Cadet party. Among
the prominent Russians who are to
suffer Punishment with him are Pro-
fessor Prokopovich and his wife. who
is known in public life as Catherine
KukOva.
Osorgin, journalist who was issu-
ing relief journal for the commit
tee, is also to suffer banshment.
The All-Russian Committee for
Famine Relief was dissolved several
months ago on the charge that anti
BOlshevists abroad had intended to
use the committee as tool to over
throw the Soviet regime in Russia!
1t was reported in September that
four of it's members. n. NJ. Kishkin,
s. n. Prokopovich. Catherine Kukova
and NJ. Avsa rkissoff, were about to be
executed. To save them, Michael
Fedoroff. president Of the United Re-
lief Committee of Russian Organiza :
tons in Europe, asked the British
government to intervene. Metropolis
tan Archbishop Platon of the Russian
Orthodox Church residing in the
United States, issued an appeal al
that time to the heads of all Christian
churches imploring them to make ev-
cry effort to save the lives OF the
four former members of the disba nd :
ed relief committee.
George Chitcherin. the Russian
minister of foreign affairs, soon after
denied that the four persons had been
executed and said they were quite
