Permits Smoking

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. mo more
will midshipmen of the naval academy
be compelled to find quiet corner or
some secluded spot about the govern
ment reservation for fear of breaking
academy regulations to take drag"
on cigarette or pull" on the old
pipe, for Admiral Henry b. Wilson,
superintendent, has promulgated an
order revoking a former edict against
smoking. Midshipmen may now smoke
in their rooms or whenever and where
ever they please, except that the Ad-
miral frowns on smoking in uniform
about the streets of the city.
Admiral Wilson said to-day he is
not TO be understood as encouraging
the use of the weed. although he does
not feel that moderate indulgence will
do any harm.

Extensive Growth Shown
In Methodist Missions

An ipcrease Of 3G,l59 native members
and of 1889 baptized children, with
an advance of $3,674,679 in the value
of mission property, is shown by staff
sites prepared by the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Part of the financial increase
is due to enchanced values Of existing
properties, and some to improvements
and new projects made possible by the
centenary funds.
The statistics, which are for 1920
show that contributions to missionary
work last year more than doubled those
Of 1919, making total of s4,077,9 $50.

WRANGELL TO HAVE MILL

J. G Calvin, who returned 70 Wrangell recently from the east had the following to say concerning ru- mors that had preceded his coming regarding a gigantic project for the manufacture of pulp and paper.
 T feel that il is a little too soon to do much talking. However, I do not deny that I am working on a pulp and paper proposition of con- siderable magnitude, and the pro- gress that l and my associates have made thus far is entirely satisfac- tory.
 We plan 10 establish in the Vi cinity of Wrangen paper mill hay ing capacity of 200 tons of news print paper daily, and have already made arrangements whereby we can dispose of 200 tons daily for ten years.
 George F. Hardy, one of the ablest pulp and paper engineers in America. has estimated the cost of the proposed mill at s7,00O,000. En- gineers and cruisers are due in Wrangell in a few days.
 The first survey will be made at Mill Creek and Virginia lake We plan to construct a 500-foot dam al the outlet of Virginia lake.
 It is our intention to bring to- gether sufficient water power for the manufacture of 200 tons of paper daily, which in round numbers would require 20,0O0 horsepower,
 Tt has been estimated that the cost of logging and towing in this vicinity will be cheaper than at any other place on the Pacific coast"

Maine may be removed from Bath
according TO recent report. The
Times says:
The scope of the Federal prohibition
director for Maine is to be widencd
according TO reports received TUESDAY
and it may be necessary to find en-
larged quarters. This brings up the
question of whether the office viii b.
retained in the Federal building a.
Bath. 1t is understood that a Fedora
agent is soon TO come 10 Maine to loos
into the present situation and to dc
termine whether the work can be car
ried on as efficiently in Bath as else
where in the State. 1t is said thai
most Federal buildings in the large
cities of the state are now Crampel
for room and that none of them ar
able to furnish any more room thai
the building in Bath and that this is
point in favor of the retention Of III
office here.
Seth May, the new Federal directo
who assumed the duties OF his ofiic
Monday afternoon. stated that h
knew nothing of the plans of the de
partment. He stated that for III
present he should familiarize himsel
with the duties of his office. He vii

advocating five cent car fare and
city ownership and managership of

with incompetence and lack of vi

This Tells About Picric
Acid for Agri. Blasting

The Maine Department of Agricul-

concerning the picric acid that was
recently reported to be placed upon
the market by the government, it
having come from the munitions de-
partment after the close of the war.
Commissioner Washburn says:
THE Bureau of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, has notified US that it has
about 12,5oo.oo0 pounds of picric acid
for distribution. 1t is surplus war
explosive and suitable for clearing
lands of stumps and rocks. It is to
be distributed for stimulating inter-
est in clearing LANDS for agricultural
purposes,

basis of comparative areas of cut
over lands in each state, as contained
in the annual report OF the secretary
of the interior for the fiscal year
ending June so, 1918. Where no acre
age is given, it is allotted by an area
for each state based on the general
knowledge of conditions. The allot-
ment will be held for the use of each
state until May !, 1922, at which
time any states allotment not taken
will be cancelled and such distribu-
ton as seems most equitable will be

distribution will be made through
the state agricultural colleges or if it

Fish Killed by Waste
From the Starch Factories

Reference was recently made IN an
Aroostook county paper to the ap-
parent dynamiting of fish at the
mouth of Three Brooks at Robinson,
in the town of Blaine. The Depart
ment of Inland Fisheries and Game
was simultaneously with the appear
ance of this item notified that the
fish in these brooks We're dying IN
large numbers and Warden F. r.
Jorgensen of Ashland, in whose dis
trict the brooks are located, was
asked to investigate. He has made
/ the following report to the depart
ment under date of July 20, which
will be found very interesting:
; at Robinson, | found a report was
! in circulation a few weeks ago that
they had seen dead fish at the mouth
; of Three Brooks and naturally the
parties came to the conclusion that
the fish had been dynamited. l, upon
investigation, could not find anyone
who had seen the fish but found
many who had heard that many dead
fish were in the brook. | made fur
Their investigation, from which 1t APP
reared that the fish had been dying
everywhere in the stream and that
the water had a very bad odor
caused. it is claimed, by the waste
from decayed potatoes which had
been brought to the starch factory
at Mars Hill, the same condition
was found to exist-fish dying by the
thousands. The warden talked with
many leading citizens in that section
and none could account for the situa-
ton other than the pollution of the
stream by waste from the starch fac
tories thereon. The streams, so 1t Is
reported, are fed from pure cole
springs and the water, outside the
portion polluted by the factories. Is
clear as crystal. 1t is reported thai
even the cells are dying.
ut was also suggested to the
warden that the reason the fish are
diving this year in such unusua
numbers is due to the fact tha
farmers could not sell their potatoe:
held them until they began to de-
cay and then disposed of them at the
starch factories. which naturally
caused more refuse to go into the
stream, and the warden was also in
formed that thousands of barrels o
decayed potatoes were dumped int
the brooks and streams"
The department will further in
yestigate the situation.
