Liner IS WRECKED

Brest.-At least SO of her crew and
passengers were lost when the British
steamer Egypt sank within 10 min
utes after colliding with the French
cargo steamer Seine in a thick fog off
Brest.
The Egypt left London with 38 pass
engers and crew of 800 A rolcall
on board the Seine after the disaster
showed that 10 of the passengers and
SO Of the crew of the Egypt were
missing.
The collision occurred during
dense fog within 90 miles of the
Armen lighthouse. The dinner gong
was about to be sounded on board the
Egypt. Many of the passengers and
most of the crew were on deck The

men learn appreciation of the obli-
cations of individuals to each other
and to the State. In this process we
especially develop qualifications for
leadership. and a recognition of the
responsibilities which leadership en-
tails. Certainly these are all quail
ties which we desire in our citizens,
and no better means for their attain
mcnt exists than through this sort
of training and discipline"
Strangely enough no red radicals,
neither the frowzy nor the Published,
are in favor of General Pershing's
suggestions, notwithstanding the So
called Soviet government Of Russia,
which they hold up as the cure all
for the woes of the world, is only
able to sustain itself through the
power of the greatest army in all
Europe. In view of this fact it be-
comes evident that the line which
is being drawn in this country will,
for part Of it's distance, pass be-
tween those who ask for rational
police protection and those who OPP
pose it.

Education Week
American Legion
Appeals to People

Following is the appeal Of the
American Legion:
In every state in the Union, De-
cember third to ninth will be OBJ
served as National Educational Week.
The American Legion realizes the
value Of education and upon it, the
Legion builds it's foundation Of
Americansm In education. the
American Legion secs the fulfllment
of its ideals and its hopes. Through
its educational program, the Legion
hopes to be instrumental in bringing
10 our country, a better American
citizenship; in creating a desire of
service to the country t:lae offers to
the people opportunities, une1ualed
in any other part of the world. wash
ington warned US, that, 1.-THE people
must be taught to know and to
value their own rights; to discern and
to provide against invasion of them"
And needing this warning. we. Of the
Legion, say that the people. whether
native or foreign born, must be edu-
Gated, not in the popular sense Of
the word, but in fact.
And SO we are calling upon all Of
the people to assist us in making this
week a success. We want every
body to take part in the activities of
the week. We want the schools to
observe it in a spirit of true Amer
icanism.
Realizing that ours is the eleventh
nation in the world in the point of
literacy; that more than one sixth Of
CUR inhabitants are illiterate; that
almost one-flfth Of those examined
in the draft lin this country for the
World War, could neither read nor
write, is it MOT time for us to exert
our energy toward correcting this
condition? Let us all unite under the
banner Of "Ohe Nation, One Flag and
one Language"
hope that on December third.
from every Pulpit in the state. will
be given a message on education. 1
hope that du{ing the week. mass
meetings will be held in every com.

Milk Condition in
Town of Madison is
Found Unsatisfactory

The condition Of milk sold in the
town of Madison is unsatisfactory ac-
cording to the report made Thursday
b. State Dairy Inspector Forrest A.
Barbour Of milk analysis in the town
Nov. "a last. In nine cases where
milk was analysed. clean milk was
found in but two. although in three
cases the milk was only slightly dirty.
Mr.. Barbour stated that in some
cases in it evident that coarse cloth
strainers had been used. allowing fine
particles Of dirt to be washed through
into the milk. To remedy this he rec
ommends the use Of cotton pads Of cot
ton batting between cheese cloth or
flannel cloth strainers. The use Of i'm
proper strainers. however. does not
excuse producers for allowing dirt to
get into the milk pals at the time of
the milking he said.

MADISON
Plan to Organize
Board of Trade
In NOrridgeWock

Inc special meeting of the Madi-
son Board of Trade held Wednesday
evening in Fireman's hall, proved to
be of unusual interest, there being
about 30 representative business men
present, from Norridgewock, North
Arson and Madison. The meeting
was called for the discussion of sew
eral matters of mutual interest to
these towns and one of the results
of the meeting will probably be the
formation Of a Board of Trade or
some similar organization in Nor
ridgewock. The meeting was called
to order at S o'clock by President
George H. Viles. One of the first
matters to come up was a Sunday
train service over the kineo short
line.
The matter was first presented by
Ralph Whitney of Norridgewock.
Mr.. Whitney called the attention of
the meeting to the fact that this
branch of the Maine Central served

about $4,000 persons. also gave sta
tistics showing that the passenger
traffic was eight times as heavy as
that of the Skowhegan branch,
which has a Sunday train service
and which serves communities in
which there are about 5000 persons
After some discussion it was voted
fhaf tho fra
of the Madison Board take the mat
ter up with similar committees from
the North Arson Board of Trade, the
Bingham Board of Trade, and a
committee from Norridgewock with
view to concerted action to see if
the desired service could not be OBJ
tanned. Another matter to come up
road leading from Norridgewock to
Madison and vice versa.
1t was voted by the members of
the Madison Board to secure infor-
nation as to the cost of arrow signs
i'll quantities and report at the next
regular meeting. The matter of good
roads was discussed and some ap-

last matter of principal interest was
in relation to the new state pier at
Portland.
Hon. Frank H. Holley of North
Arson was present and in a brief
speech told the meeting that the
state pier during the present year
had saved the shippers of freight in
this state the sum of $4,000. and
said this was only starter. Mr..
Holley stated that it was possible to
unload directly from the boats into
the cars. Mr.. Holley said however
that the largest saving would come
to the farmers and said that in time
there would probabl be a big cold
storage plant on the pier where the
farmer could put his products and
sell them when the market was the
best. 1t was voted to hold a mass
meeting the second Wednesday in
December and invite Mr.. w. B.
Moore of Portland to be present and
explain the proposition. 1t was also
voted to ask Hon. Fred Bunker Of
the pier commission to be present
and to extend invitations to the
North Arson Board of Trade and
the business men of Norridgewock
to be present.
