Maine Destitute Children May
Have a Chance.

Miss A. Nj. Kalloch, extension secre-
tary of the State of Maine branch of the
New England Home for Little Wanderers,
has been in town for the past week. This
branch of the organization is located in
Waterville and on Tuesday afternoon in
the Red Cross rooms Miss Kalloch gave
a comprehensive talk on the work of the
Little Wanderers among the children of
Maine.
Miss Kalloch spoke of the different
phases of the work and of the purpose of
which is to rescue children
from want and shame, to provide them
with food and clothing, to give them in
struction in mind and heart and to place
them, with the consent of their parents
or guardians, in Christian homes.
The Little Wanderers Home has clung
tenaclously to this idea during the 56 years
OF Its eXlStenCe-to give to the children
of New England fighting chance.
The Study Home in Boston is the first
OF its kind in the country to combine un-
der one roof complete equipment in giving
children thorough physical and mental
examination and treatment. Every work.
er by training and experience is adapted
to the work in hand. There are both men
and women on the staff which gives op
portunity for dealing with the older boy
problem, which would be difficult were
there only women on the staff. The
Study Home is especially equipped for
observing the so-called unusual child.
All the equipment of the Little w an
derers' Home is available to the children
of Maine through the Waterville branch.
This branch during its six years of ser
vice has cared for over 1900 Maine chill
dren. All children placed in foster homes
by the Waterville branch are under care
full supervision, especially as to their
physical condition, their mental equip
ment and moral training.
The N. E. Home for Little Wanderers
aims to assist and uplift the destitute,
the homeless and the orphan children of
Maine. 1t is their desire to be of ever
increasing service

LOSSES AVOIDED
BY TESTING SEED

American farmers suffer losses
every year through inferiod seed, the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture finds. If seed is foul with
weeds or il the seeds are dead, the
loss can not be made up once the
crop is in the ground. II q crop is
to be planted in April, discovery of
poor seed in May does no good. The
remedy is to test seeds in home
germinator in advance of planting.
Small samples Of seed are counted
out and sowed in moist soil in some
shallow receptacle like a kitchen
plate. The plate may be kept near
the stove or anywhere to maintain
a temperature conducive to germina-
ton. When the plants have had time
to sprout, count of the results will
give good indication Of the value
of the seed.

MARKETING BILL
PASSES IN HOUSE
LEGISLATURE Makes Closing
Week Rush to Wind Up
Final Business
Pass Auto Bills, Alien Land
Act; Defeat School Code;
Adjourn March 10

With but a few days left of the
session of the seventeenth legisia-
ture, the law makers are confronted
with a mass of bills which they
must either hurriedly pass, reject or
forget. No new bills have been re-
ceived since Monday, February %,
and the last two days of the session
have been set aside to clear up final
business which will confront the
legislators.
One of the most important bills to
the agriculture districts Is the CO.
operative marketing bill, which has
passed the house with a vote OF "a
to 9. There was little opposition to
the bill, while the farmers found
friends on every side when the bill
came up for final passage. The bill
permits of cooperative marketing of
farm products on a large scale.
For second time the senate has
voted down the school code bill.
Each time it came up for consid-
Grafton 1t lacked one vote of secur-
ing passage. 1t was first defeated
on February 25, when it was moved
to reconsider. 1t was on the cal
endar again March 8, but the final
vote stood 81 to 10, just one vote
shy of the necessary % for passage.
Pass Alien Land Bill
The Beeler anti-alien land bill,
which prohibits aliens from holding
land In Washington, has passed both
houses and is ready for the gov
errors signature.
The senate has passed measures
providing drastic changes in the
direct primary law, revising the reg
ulation of motor vehicles and dis
position OF fees, and establishing
regulations for the protection Of the
public in stock Investigations.
The first Of the primary law bills
dealt with qualifications of candidates
and provided requirements for those
seeking political preferment. The
other bill fixed registration proceed
ure Both were intended to protect
party integrity and prevent the con-
troll of nominations and elections by
organized minority factions.
The house has passed a measure
increasing the pay of legislators from
So to SIS day, while the senate
has passed bill authorizing pay OF
$1,000 each regular session, with
pay Of $40 day during special ses-
siOns.
