peared for the State board OF Ar
bitration and Cancellation, asking for

new building for the Knox Memo
rial, d. A. R., to be erected at Thorn
aston.
DR.. Small appeared for the Knox
County General hospital asking for
an increase in the appropriations TO-
a new wing which will accommodate
about 6S more patients and will cost
between 100000 and $4,000.
An increase was also asked il the
appropriation for the Waldo Coun-
ty General hospital. 1t was pointed
out that this is the only hospital in
the county having free beds.
The appropriation estimate o the
State Health Department for the
next two years, which has recently
been filed with the board. is set at
$421 500.

appropriation sufficient for the en-

the latter part of September before the
opening of the hunting season. Dur
ing the first three days of October
there were 16 fires. while on October
4. the day that the Governor issued
lis proclamation suspending the open
season for hunting, there were six,
and on October 5. there were nine.
Thereafter only one fire occurred, al
though the heavy rains which put a
stop to the danger did not come for
several days. It therefore seems clear
that the Governors proclamation had
prompt and most effective influence
IN preventing the start of additional
fires. 1t could hardly be expected
that his proclamation would have it's
full effect for at least q day after it
vas issued, and thereafter only one
fire started. The total cost Of fire
lighting within the Forestry District
during these two weeks was between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Many people will probably be sur
prlsed to know that tine fire situation
during the first ten days Of October.
in spite Of the widespread attention
which it attracted. was not so serious
as in May of this year. During that
month there were II fires which burn
ed over approximately 1900 acres
and caused damage of about $64,500.
In other words, May had almost ex-
actly twice as many fires as October,
and these fires burned over five times
the area and did more than three
times the damage of the October
fires. This was not an abnormal &C.
currence. Taking the situation year
in and year out, May is nearly al
ways the most dangerous month for
forest fires. the greater part of which
are attributed to careless campers
and fishermen.
Unfortunately, there Is at present
apparently no way Of meeting this
danger effectively, since the Governor
has no authority to prevent fishing.
There would seem to be no good
reason why he should not have the
same authority to prevent fishing
that he now has to prevent hunting
during exceptionally dangerous per-
icds, and it is certain that such au-
thority would constitute a valuable
safeguard against disastrous conflag-
rations during tho most dangerous
season Of the year.

'I think though that there was a little slip up in the council meeting. was waiting for Alderman Kisco to rise and ask the council for a legisla- tive committee or commission. suppose he was waiting for me, but had no further interest in the matter. 1t was up to the father of the resolu- tion to go further. I pay 14 cents a quart for milk at my house and I am perfectly satisfied that I get my moneys worth.'
 Alderman Gene" in concluding his remarks on the milk subject denied that he is going to introduce reso1u- ton into the council ordering a probe into the 5 cent fresh eggs that the down town lunch rooms have on sale. Some day Gene when plying through the records of city hall will come across the skull of the probe commit tee and with sigh will say: Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him we'll"

Attorney General Daugherty, a
 close personal friend of the Hard
 ings for years, returned to the
 White House at seven this morn
 ing. After visit to the sick
 room he said:
 "Mrs. Harding spent restfuI
 night. I think she has a chance
 of recovery.'
 It is understood that opiates
 were being administered this
 morning. The attending physi-
 clans described Mrs. Harding's
 spirit as 'indomnitabIe."
 President AII-Night Vigil.
 President Harding remained at the bedside until a, late hour last night, after spending much of the day there yesterday, and it was said that he would forego all official duties today unless Mrs. Harding's condition took a decided change for the better. At torney General Daugherty a close friend of the president and Mrs House throughout the night, and Sec retary Christian also stayed until a late hour. Dr. George T. Harding of Columbus Ohio, @ brother of Presi- dent Harding, was on his way here to- day in response to a summons from the White House.
 Dr. John Finney, of Baltimore, was called in consultation last night and was remaining with the patient today and Dr. Charles Mayo is enroute from Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Joel T. Boone, naval medical officer on tx yacht Mayflower also is in attend ance. Operation Years Ago. The present recurrence of the ill., ness, described as hydro-nephrosis from which Mrs. Harding has suffer- ed at intervals since surgical opera ton nine years ago, was first felt by Ter nearly two weeks ago while on week end cruise on the MayfIower with the president and a party oe friends. She had recovered sufficient 1y early this week to again leave her room, but later suffered setback with complications which have made her condition critical.
 An immediate ojeration may be re- sorted to. Dr. Charles Mayo is speed ing to Washington from Rochester, Minn., but, probably will not reach the White House before tomorrow m orning. An operation may become necessary before that time, it was said.

Alderman Frank J. Kisco of the Tenth district, papa of the resolution creating the probe committee, was dragged into the mire of failure when Alderman Kelly went so far as to point an accusing finger at Alderman Kisco and say: You, father Of the thought, are responsible for the death; for the failure of the probe to drive from our fair city the swollen milk trust'."N
 The committee is dead; so dead that it probably will never rise again from the grave and continue the march on 10 the legislature to secure an act to regulate the price of milk. Let Gene tell the story.
 .'We readily accounted for the spread in price. At the farm milk costs seven cents per quart. It costs one cent a quart to truck it, and two and one-half cents to put it through
