Decrease in
Road Money!

The State Highway Commission in
a communication sent out Monday to
all municipal officers handing the APP
portionment of State aid road work for
the year 1922, says that it will be not
ed that the amount is CPS per cent of
the full apportionment of one years
State aid.
Undoubtedly you will be surprised
and disappointed at not receiving full
apportionment and we desire to state
as briefly as we can our reason for ar
irving at this percentage" says the
communication of the State Highway
Commission.
Since the present State aid law was
enacted in 1913. carrying an appro-
priation of 100000 per annum for
State aid. there have been additional
funds provided for the payment of
State aid but once. That was in 1917
when the mill tax fund for highways
was created Two hundred thousand

Conrad NageI Has Role Of Doctor in
New Ayre3 Picture

New Ayre5 Picture
Conrad Nagol, one of the most
popular leading men Of the screen,
whose recent appearances in Para
mount pictures have won him a large
following of fans, plays opposite
Agnes Ayres, star Of the Paramount
picture, 1.-The Ordeal" which comes
to the Colonial Theatre today. Mr..
Naeel never has been cast to finer
advantage in any photoplay in which
he has been seen this season.
Mr.. Nagels role is that of a young
doctor, and it is said to be a remark
ably true to life character as it's
creator was himself a doctor. For
before he became an author, w.
Somerset Vaughan was a graduate
physician in Great Britain. In Amer
lea, however, his medical skill would
be a total loss as he is licensed to
practice in England only.
Mr.. Vaughan has not "doctored"
for some years as he has entirely
given up the little black bag and
stethoscope in favor of the type
writer, a medium with which he has
written such remarkably successful
plays and novels as THE Land of
Promise" THE Moon and SiXpence,"
"The Circle" and "Of Human Bond

OAK GROVE

saturday afternoon, May Il, many
tourists who Whirled along the State
highway in the neighborhood of Oak
Grove seminary, looked with envy at
long procession of merry young
people who Were laden with big
packages, cans, pals, boxes and the
historic camp coffee-pOt. The young
people were crowd of Oak Grove
students, the packages and cans each
contained delicious viands and their
destination was a neighboring hill.
Dig fire was soon blazing and prep
arations for a regular camp supper
went forward with the efficiency that
comes from experience at many of
these jolly parties. While the girls
arranged the eats the boys dashed
INTO a nearby lot and soon returned
armed with long sticks for roasting
hot dogs and toasting marshmallows.
one of the features of an Oak Grove
camp supper is more eats than
anyone can eat, and this one was no
exception. Just as the hot dogs were
sizzling, a big basket OF rolls piping
hot straight from the ovens were
brought to the scene, and those who
were there say they were the best
ones ever made. After round after
round of coffee and doughnuts and
marshmallows, everyone adjourned to
a nearby orchard where the smooth
turf made an ideal spot for a lawn

Files Another
Pardon Petition

A petition for the pardon of Ernest
Matthews of Skowhegan, who is
serving a sentence of year in the
Somerset county Jail for breaking,
entering and larceny, was filed at the
Department of State Monday. a
hearing on the petition will be held
at the next session of the governor
and council, which will be held Tues
day, June 6.
In his petition for a pardon, Mat
thews states that longer incarcera-
ton would be dangerous to himself
and would prevent the necessary and
proper treatment for his recovery.
Benedict F. Maher of Augusta is the
counsel for the petitioners.
A hearing on this same case was
given by the governor and council
at its last meeting, the petitioners
being given leave to withdraw.

Weekly Crop Notes

Local rains only have fallen during
the week, but there is no need for
further moisture at present on the
greater part of New England, altho
it is still too dry in a few areas.
Temperatures have for the most part
remained below the seasonal average.
Farm work and growth Of vegeta-
ton have made good progress, except
as delayed somewhat by wet land
IN Maine. Sowing Of spring grains
has continued and altho somewhat
backward probably about the usual
acreages will be put in.
While grasses arc starting well as
rule the meadows and pastures
are quite backward. There has also
been considerable winter killing or
clover, and from present indications
the production of hay will not be
heavy. altho prospects now are favor
able in Maine.
The planting of potatoes has begun
and about the usual acreage seems
probable. Fertilizer has been reach
ing Aroostook county more freely of
i'~tS anu willie the acreage there NAV
be slightly cut it is likely to be close
TO that of last year. Stock has been
moving freely and shipments should
be approaching the end. altho exact
information as to present holdings Of
old potatoes is hard to get.
Present indications are for about
an average acreage of sweet corn
IN Maine, perhaps around 5000 to
10000 acres.
Prospects for the fruit crops are
generally excellent. Except in
Maine, where an off year is in pros
pect, the apple trees have blossomed
heavily tho, as a rule, Baldwins are
lighter than other varieties. Peaches.
pears, plums and cherries are in good
bloom in most places. Berries win
tered well and the prospect for
Strawberries is exceptionally high.
The outlook for the cranberry crop is
reported excellent. Some dry boys
were winter killed and a slight loss
OF buds from frost in April but
these troubles We're not extensive

Big Story and Cast in "Forever"

A delicate touch of symbolism
appears in the picture Forever"
Paramount screen version of George
DuMaurier's famous novel Peter
Ibbetson," in which Wallace Reid,
Elsie Ferguson, Elliott Dexter, Mon
tague Love, Dolores Cassineki,
George Fawcett, Barbara Dean and
other noted stars. The symbolism
Of Forever" which comes to the
Opera House tomorrow and Thurs
day, enters the picture in a manner
frequently used in literature, but sell
dom in motion picture production.
The scenic atmosphere of the picture
was made to correspond with the
lives of the characters and their
moods.
In the dream scene Elsie Ferguson
and Wallace Reid are revealed in
sondola in a Venetian canal, in an
ice palace in Russia, at the circus
MaXimuS in Rome, on the desert
sands in Algeria, and at various show
places in England and France.
In point of expense Forever is
one of the foremost picture produc-
eto4-' u IA4S Sedl. Ie Stto are exact
copies Of the places they represent,
having been made from photographs
and old prints of the days about
which George DuMaurier wrote.
Forever" is the romance Of a
rose--red love. Budding in child
hoods springtime. Blooming through
storms of LIES summer. Glowing on

In accordance with the above opin-

State aid in strict conformity thereto.
This allows US to make apportion-
ments to the town of Winthrop as per
| direction of the Legislature, to all
towns applying under the three town
act and 62.S per cent of the amount
! applied for by towns making applica-
ton for one years State aid. No ap-

At a recent meeting of the Governor
and Council this matter was present
ed in full and request made for adj
ditional funds from the State contin-
| gent fund. This request was not
! granted.
We shall appreciate it If you will
| give this matter as wide publicity as
possible in order that the citizens of
the State may understand exactly why

the hall, front room down stairs and
sleeping rooms up stairs have been
papered and painted. House was in
much better order than when last
inspected. A new floor was laid in
the tie up last fall and new floor
for the horses. New windows were
also put in the tie up and new horse
stalls and cribs built.
House is heated by stoves and
lighted by kerosene lamps. There is
furnace in the cellar but it has not
been used for a long time as It is out
of order. There are two liquid fire
extinguishers in the house.
Only two beds belonging to the
town are used. Bedding clean and
sufficient for the present needs. Ma
iron states that she found consider
able vermin when she came but that
, she has made strenuous effort to get
rid of it and thinks she has practi-

.Sanitation: Water is carried from
a well situated between the house
and barn. There is a cistern in the
cellar, the use of which has been
discontinued as the pump is out Of
order. Surface drain. Two earth
closets in shed, dark, bad odor.
There is an ice house into which
was put this winter about two hun

Conditions at
Readfeld Farm

The report of the inspection by the
state board Of charities and correc-
tons of the Readfleld town farm
made public Monday, states that the
house needs painting, the house
needs new. underpinning at least on
one side and the chimney needs top
ping out.
The report Of the inspection says
in part:
Superintendent, Mr.. Riley c. Huff,
matron, Mrs. Riley c. Huff.
Mr.. Huff leases the farm paying
$3.50 per year with the understanding
that all town paupers shall be board
ed there at the rate of $500 per week.
Superintendent and matron have had
no previous experience in this work.
Largest number present since last
inspection, 4; smallest number, /.
There is but one inmate at the
present time, man over sixty years
Of age who is feeble minded. He is
in poor health and is a great care, as
he suffers from enuresis. The ma
tron states that enough clothing is
furnished by the town for him, but
he will not wear it. He sits alone the
greater part OF the time in his room
which is over the kitchen and which
receives very little care from the ma
iron as the odor is SO very bad 1t is
stated that he objects to anyone
coming into his room to work, pre-
ferring to do what is done himself.
The room is heated by stove The
approach to this room is by means of
short flight of very steep stairs.
The inmate has no visitors. He states
that he is we'll used by the present
superintendent and matron.

The tobacco seed beds are reported
as looking decidedly well. Trans
planting will begin next week; farm
help here is not plentiful; the acreage
seems likely to be somewhat less
than last year.
Onions in the Connecticut Valley
are reported as looking well, tho
some have been seeded on land from
which a large yield is not to be ex-
pectcd. Acreage is about go larger
than last year, altho small area
was blown out by recent high winds.
Live stock is still thin in flesh in
northern localities and many COWS
are giving less milk than usual due
to light feeding and short pasturage.
Mortality of young pigs is reported
somewhat above usual, due perhaps
to severe weather and lack of feed.
and the spring pig crop is thereby
reduced. The keeping of more skim
mix on falLl3 remote from milk
markets has stimulated the demand
Tor PIGS very much. Otherwise all
live stock is reported in good con.
