Arrangements are now being made
by the newly organized Hatfield oil
company of Rawltns for the drilling
of the Eight-AIile structure. which is
as its name implies. eight miles from
that city and operations are scheduled

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect 1t.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bition, nervousness, are often times symp- toms of kidney trouble.
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physicians pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Get medium or large size bottle inn mediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Advertisement.

.ENVOYS AT LAUSANNE
SECRETARY HUGHES DEFINES SCOPE OF AMERICAN PARTIcI-
 PATTON AT CONFERENCE.

Washington. Child at Rome and Minister Grew at Berne will be the American observers at the Near Eastern conference at Lausanne, the State Department has announced here Rear Admiral Bristol, high commis- siOner at Constantinople, will be named associate commissioner as his other du- ties will not permit him to be in con- tinuous attendance at the conference. Instructions under which the American group will act in presenting the view point of the Washington government to the peace conference, but without taking any part in the peace negotia- tiOns themselves, have been sent to MT. Child as head of the group.
 The scope of American participation in the proceedings at Lausanne was quite clearly defined by Secretary Hughes in his communication to the al- lied governments. MT. Hughes said:
 "To safeguard American interests and to facilitate the exchange of views the government of the United States is prepared to send observers to the proposed conference if this action is agreeable to the powers concerned. Without participating in the negOtia- tiOns of the treaty of peace, these ob- servers would be able to indicate this governments position in greater detail than is possible in this aide memOire and they could also inform the Amer ican government of the attitude of the other powers in matters where there are mutual interests.
 This outline indicates the broad character of instructions to the Ob- servers in order to make the American viewpoint on questions at Lausanne available as they may arise, wherever American interests are touched.
 The points enumerated by Secretary Hughes laid stress on the maintenance of capitulatiOns, which may be essen tial to the appropriate safeguarding of non-MOslem interests. American inter- est in maintaining equality of conner cial opportunity in Turkish territory, while emphasized at several points in MT. Hughes communication, is left to third place in this tabulated outline of particular points of American concern, the commercial aspect of the settle ment, in the American view, thus ap- parently being subordinated to cOnsid- eratiOns involving the personal status of Americans in Turkey and to the necessity of securing protection for religious minOrities and philanthropic enterprises there.
 Involved in the capitulations under their maintenance is the whole ques- ton of existing Turkish law and the fact that on all questions of personal status, such as marriage and divorce and many other matters that touch most closely the lives of individuals, Moslem religious authority is supreme in Turkish courts.

THE WORLDS GREATEST BAKING POWDER
Backed up and sat Down.

When I was a freshman in high school I had a crush on one of my teachers and was anxious to always appear at my best before her.
 One evening after school returned to the room to talk to her. She was busy and told me to sit down on low stool by her desk to wait. I backed up and sat down.
 The janitor had to pull me out of the wastebasket, which I had mis- taken for the stool.-Exchange.

Directions for
Tourists Coming
Here from Quebec

Information comes to the Office Of
the State Highway commission that
the signs placed by the highway Off
Gals Of the Province of Quebec to d.
rect travellers around the diversion
road recently completed at the boun-
Diary line between Maine and the
Province of Quebec on the Jackman-
Quebec highway, have been tempered
with so that tourists from Quebec
coming into Maine are naturally led
to the Line House on the old high
way. From the Line House down
over the hill in Maine the road is all
most impossible, due to it's badly
washed condition. If tourists do not
watch out in coming from Quebec
into Maine they will pass by the new
diversion road and will have to turn
at the Line House and go back to the
mouth of the road to get around the
hill.
The Highway commission have di-
rected letter to the minister of
highways of the Province of Quebec.
asking him to take steps to have the
sign erected and maintained so that
tourists may not be put to the incon-
venience of turning at the Line
House and retracing their steps.

There's plenty Of conccit scattered
broadcast over this world, but Con
ceit." the new Selznick photoplay
which will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today is one brand Of the uni
versal quality that will appeal to
everyone.
The director. Burton George, has
taken Michael Phillips story and by
retaining all the salient points of the
original and intcrpolating other
scenes necessary for the photoplay
adaptation, has succeeded in turning
out screen play of more than average
merit.
Action is what has made rhotoplavs
the popular amusement mat they are,
and action in abundance is to be found
in "Conceit." There are colorful
scenes in society bathrooms, exciting
moments in the open. including en-
counters with both man and beast, ad-
venture and last but not least, real
drama that has a punch.
The cast of players includes polished
