HAWTHoRN'S BOYHooD HOME
House on Sebago Lake is to Be Pre-
served as a Community
Center.

The house on the shores Of Sebago
lake at South Casco, Me-. in which Ma
thaniel Hawthorne lived as a boy and
where he made his home when he was
attending BOudoin college, is to be pre-
served as n community house. Citi.
Zens and summer residents have just
formed a corporation for the purpose.
Robert Manning of Salem, Mass, who
owned thousands of acres of land
about Sebago lake. built the house in
1914 for his sister, who was Haw-
thorne's mother. Mrs. Hawthorne had
lost her husband at sea and lived after
wards in retirement. Hawthorne was
new home with his mother, and this
continued to he his home until after
his graduation from Bowdoin college
in 1925. when he returned to Salem.
The building was used as n board
ing house for a long time after the
Hawthornes left 1t. Seventy years
ago it was built over into n church.
for which purpose 1t has since been
used. 1t is n big square structure Of
the colonial style of architecture
At the request of his uncle, the boy
Hawthorne kept a diary while he lived
there and these volumes are now In
the possession of Rev. William c. Nor
ris of Willimantic, Conn. who is vice
president of the new corporation. They
will be Ionated to the community
house.

Now President Harding has made il
known that he is opposed TO having
the matter of the allied debts brought
up at all at the parley. He believes
1t can be better settled in other ways,
and that the conference will have
enough to do in considering the ques-
tions provided in the agenda as it
now stands. He is extremely de
sirous that something big be accom-
plished in the reduction of ornaments
and the settlement of the pressing
problems of the Pacific and the Far
East and does not wish the work of
the conference made more ardrous
by the injection of other questions.

think he. too. will be able to attend
the parley, believing that the Irish

too, that Lloyd George hopes to ar
