Want McIntire on
State Highway Com.

Orono, June 1i.-Following up its
agitation for expenditure of a more
nearly equitable share Of state high
way funds on third class. or farm to-
market roads the Maine Federation
Of Agricultural Association, OF which
John w. Leland Of Sangerville is
president, is urging the appointment
of a representative of the agricultural
interests on the Maine highway COM
ission.
Resolutions favoring this propo-
sition are being adopted By numer-
Gus ranges and other agricultural
organizations; and some of them
have mentioned in their resolutions
the name of Leslie Z. McIntire OF
East Waterford, Oxford county. as
their choice of representative on
the commission. He is a Democrat,
a brother of former Democratic
nominee for Governor, but preced-
ent has favored having one repre-
sentative of the minority party on
the commission.
ME. MGluIIIe was liltIllDtT VI tllS
special committee appointed by the
federation to consider the rural
roads problem. The other two mem
bers of the committee were F. 2.
Washburn, commissioner of agricul-
ture, and William G. Hunton Of
Portland, industrial agent Of the
Maine Central Railroad. Their report,
submitted at the federation meeting
held at, Orono in March, attracted
widespread attention by its claim
that rural roads are not receiving
fair share of attention in the states

ment.
When the suggestion was made 10
Mr.. McIntire that he be candidate
for appointment as the agricultu-
ralists' representative on the high
way commission. he declined to ia
vor it, but he has since said he VIII
accept, if Governor Baxter decides
to appoint him.

that they called on DR.. Hagerthy
and, according to the witnesses. he
told them that lie probably had 80
cases of whiskey in the house. ad-
mitted that he had taken some in
on the night of May j. and said that
he had a stock before prohibition
went into effect He told the Off
GERS. they said, that he had never
had any trouble and he would like
to fix it up and no one would know
ANYTHING about it.
No defense was put in, but coun-
sci for DR.. Hagerthy argued that no
evidence had been produced to show
that the liquor was intended for
illegal sale. The jury returned a
verdict of guilty, after celebrating
about 20 minutes.
DR.. Hagerthy was given the maxi
mum fine Of $500 and costs. The
matter Of the $4,000 worth Of choice
liquors seized in the cellar of DR..

at the assembly room at the "Y,"

has been prepared which will be of
great interest to many, as the prizes

favorable commendation.
The program also includes four
prize essays to be given by members

tion has been frequently asked, Can
the visitor see any OF the old hewn
logs or have they been covered up in
the process Of restoration?" In the
