PUBLIC THEATRES
HUNT FOR BOY

Reliable reports that Lawrence
Curtis. IA. who disappeared Jan. z,
has been seen frequently in Augusta
led to search twice last week by an
agent Of the family here, but all in
win.
A letter from a woman in Bow
doinham was received by the family
and the writer said that two boys
stopped at her house and were pro-
vided with meal. They were hungry
and said they were on their way to
Augusta. She thought little of the
incident at the time but saw a re-
port OF this boy in a newspaper and
wrote to the parents here. On the
strength of this and subsequent re-
ports that young Curtis had been
around Augusta for a week, search
was instituted.
Motion picture theatres in Angus
Ia. Hallowell and Gardiner have aid
ed by throwing pictures of the miss
ing lad on the screen but all rumors
seemed to lead to no well defined
clues.
Police in those cities are watching
carefully and will interview anv
strange lad who seems to fit descrip-
ton of young Curtis.
In the strong probability that the
money he had with him when he left,
ID all gone, it is held that he is afraid
to come back home. His employers.
on the other hand. have assured his
parents that not only have they no
intention of having him arrested but
they will be glad to take him back
into their employ as an errand boy
when he is out of school.-Portland
Express.

1920 and 25,921 proven in 1921. This
in one year showed an increase of
1000 trees Of So per cent. The hope
this year is to enroll 1000 men and
pro:e 10000 trees for the 1922 record.
The silage corn campaign is well
under way for the year. The object
Is to have every man in the county
who owns silage to try mammoth
flint corn for silage. There are prac-
tically 500 men in the county who
have silos. Up to the present time,
101 men have enrolled.

STATE OF MAINE

Department Of Education, Augusta :
An Act to provide for Temperance dav
IN the public schools in the State of
Maine.
(chap. 100, p. L. 1sal)
Sec. !. The first Friday in March
Of each year or the school day in each
year nearest that date shall be desig-
mated as Temperance day, and in
every public school in the State Of
: Maine not less than forty-tive minutes
of the school session shall be set
apart and used for instruction and
appropriate exercises relative to the
history and benefits of prohibition and
prohibitory laws; said schools to con-
tinuc their work so far as practicable
during the remainder of the day.
Sec. 2. 1t shall he the duty of the
state superintendent of schools to pre-
rare suitable material for the obserS-
ance of Temperance day. 1t shall be
several towns of the state and all pub
lie school teachers within the state to
comply with the provisions of this act.
For a generation the w. c. T. u, a
group of consecrated women, interest
cd themselves in the cause of tempor-
ance hygiene in the schools of the
country. This organization in prac-
tically all of the states of the Union
secured legislation making it compul-
sorry to teach the effect Of stimulanrs
and narcotics to all the children in the
schools. Perhaps it was their infu-
ence more than any other which
! makes it possible for the present day
TO promote the steady hand and the
clear brain ard makes it unlawful to
sell or to give intoxicating liquors.
The problem of temperance is g.ot
primarily one of law enforcement but
one of obedience to the law If the
schools have a function beyond SER
vice to the individual, and we must
concede they have, it is to develop the
right sort of citizenship for the future.
Moral Code for Boys and Girls
Boys and girls who are good Ameri-
cans will try to become strong and
useful. If our country is to become
greater and better they must obey tn,
laws of the land and right living
which the best Americans have always
cbeycd.
A Good American Controls himself
Those who best control themselves
can pest serve their country.
