Probate Court
Completes Largest
Years Business

estwsen 500 and COCO New Cases Now
Entered AnnualIy-Nsw Steel Fill
ing Cases Must BE Provided lmme-
diatsIy-Ehieient and Thorough
System Of Keeping Records
The probate court Of Kennebec
county has just completed the iarg
est year in its history, the number of
new cases entered and handled dur
ing the year and the actual number
of papers recorded exceeding that of
any other year since the court was
established in 1899. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the business of the court
is now about twice the size Of that
IL years ago. Between 500 and 600
new cases a year are now entered in
the court and the number of papers
filed in connection has increased
themselves.
Practically the entire filing space
in the large record room is now filed
and new steel filing cases must be
provided Immediately. To meet this
emergen6y the register Ralph w.
Leighton is arranging for the pro-
bate blanks which are now kept in
the outer Office to be placed in a new
file, and the recording books which
are now being used daily to be put in
the place where the probate blanks
have been kept, to make room in the
record room for 176 new filing cases
for the probate records.
The increasing business of the
probate court involves a large amount
of work in taking care of the records,
and since Judge Harold z. Cook and
Recorder Ralph w. Leighton assumed
office, they with the assistance of
Miss Ethel Russell, clerk, and Mrs.
Mary w. Leighton have re-filed and
re-indexed all the papers. in the court
from the year 1899 up to date The
papers from the years 1899 to 1908
have been indexed in two volumes,
and beginning with January l, 1908,
new system of filing and indexing
has been employed, the filing being
by number and the use of the card
index system.
A new system of indexing the rec
ords as made in the books has also
been inaugurated SO that all current
records are indexed as they are made,
while the work Of indeXing the old
records is stin going on. 1t is the
aim to have as efficient and thorough
file and record system as can be
found in any probate office in the
country.
The kennebec county probate
! court holds twenty-three terms q
year, two in each month except Sep
TENDER, each term being kept open
for several days.

by singing carols on the lawn on

carols in the wards, which were thor
cughly enjoyed by all.
Our class work has gone on as

Barge With Four
Aboard Missing

Portland, Me-, Jan. S-The Coast
Guard cutter Ossipee was searching
along the Maine coast Monday night
for the barge Reading, which broke
away from the tug Lehigh in a gale
early Monday morning, while four
miles east of the Portland Lightship.
Four men are aboard the barge,
and as there has been gale off the
coast all day, fears are entertained
for her safety. i.
The Lehigh had two other empty
barges in tow and as soon as these
had been brought to port, she set out
again in search of the Reading, but
up to o'clock Monday night neither
the tug nor the cutter had located the
missing craft. All of the off shore
light stations have been notified to
be on the lookout for the barge.

FAST DAY TODAY
FOR RAISING MONEY FOR
THE EUROPEAN RELIEF

Today promises to be a fast day
throughout the United States. not for
penitential but for philanthropic pur-
poses.
Fifty thousand organized women,
many Of them leaders in the social
and club life of New York City. started
the movement to save a meal and give
the money to Herbert Hoover. Boy
Scouts and others have taken up the
plan with the result that thousands
have signified their intention to either
do without dinner entirely today or at
least substitute a bowl of stew and
slice of bread for the customary saw
DRY dishes served at their table.
This is the appeal sent to every
household in New England by the Eu-
ropean Relief Council in the hope that
the money thus realized will help
save 100000 waits who are today in
the grip of famine that threatens
to stamp them out entirely, or else
leave them broken in health and mind
for the remainder of their lives. Send
your self-denial contribution to James
Jackson, treasurer. European Relief
Council, lG6 Devonshire. street, Boston.

=. Class Visits Superior Court Tues

The second division of the CONNER
cial Law class Of the Cony High school,
, accompanied by Principal Clarence r.
Quihby. visited the Kennebec superior
court en- Tuesday and took notes on
the trial in progress for use in class
work.
AS all the supernumerary jurors
had been excused for the day, Judge
Beane invited the boys and girls to
occupy the section of seats reserved
forthen. where they could listen to
the testimony to better advantage. He
gave u short talk to the class saying
particularly to the young ladies that
it would probably not be many years
before they might be called as jurors
in cases. and suggesting that they
pay particular attention to the tes-
timony- given in order to conclude
what their verdict would be if they
were jurors in the case. He stated
that 1t is now practically incumbent
upon women as we'll as men to edu-
cate themselves in that direction so as
10 be able to perform their duties as
jurors, and he said that he has great
faith t., the responsibilities of wom-
en-, that he believed in all matters
their Judgment was as good as mems,
except possibly in criminal satters
where their. stronger sympat.,a might
prejudice them little in favor OF the
respondent. He stated that he was
glad to see the members of the class
present. o.

Superintendent, Aid
And Visiting Com.
of Hospital Report

The superintendent of the Augusta
General hospital, the visiting COM
mittee and the Hospital Aid present
their reports for the year as follows:
Superintendent Report
To the President and Board of Di-
rectors of the Augusta General
Hospital:
Gentlemen:
i respectfully submit the following
report for the year 1920:
This year of 1920 marks the TWEEN
ty- third year of our work and such
a year 1 believe we of our generation
will not see again. Everything is
hampered by the great unrest of the
trate. During the early part of the
year the cost of living reached it's
highest and labor was so hard to OBJ
tain but as the year drew to a close
things began somewhat to decline but
not in all branches.
We have gained one goal for which
we have striven. the new wing which
we are now occupying. On the TWEEN
ty-fffth Of August our building was
opened to the public for inspection.
1t was a great source of surprise and
pleasure to all that we had so fine
and up to- date building. Our kitchen
is one of the most interesting spots
in the hospital, to people in general.
with all it's modern equipment, steam
and electric appliances.
The suite of operating rooms most
interesting to people professionally.
The furnishing of the new wing
w. H. Gannett. 100000, and today
some of the departments are second
to none in the State.
None can realize. unless in the
work. the immense amount of time
and thought required to complete this
work and the many difficulties which
presented themselves from time TO
time.
Our Board of Directors have la
bored and borne the burden. which
means much time and thought, and
at times it must have seemed hard
to keep up the work mapped out
For the past three years nothing
has been done to this old building.
At present date we have had the fur
niture, namely beds. tables. chairs and
operating room furniture. all re-
painted and put in order and are now
awaiting the decision of the board as
to what to do with the building that
has served our purpose well for 20
years and over.
We have treated number of War
Risk boys during the year and not
withstanding the financial strain ev-
erybody has borne this year, we still
have made a slight increase in the
number of patients admitted.
We are indebted in many ways to
the public the past, year.
The Hospital Aid have supplied our
