thing TO say which had to do
with the object dearest to the
doctorial heart.

'"Oh you dear, old thing"

she kissed her fingers to him as
she danced out.
So this was the end OF his
dreams. The adorable Anna, with
whom he had long been in love,
regarded him as an old fossil. In
desperation he vanished into the
little dressing room, adjoining his
laboratory, and donned a n1agni-

with a coat of arms cunningly

Next Meeting Governor and Council, 10 A. NJ Friday

says that it is due to the faithful.
painstaking and diligcnt work of the
office force.
A large part of the work of tie
treasurer's office is the selling OF
state bond issues, and it has hap
pened that those which have been
disposed of within the past two years
have been sold at a time and in such
allotments that the bids have been
not only satisfactory, but a little
better than the market price.
Secretary of State
Frank W. Ball, of Dover F'oxcroft
secretary Of State, is also a candidate
to succeed himself. He is an attorney
at law, having practised for eight
years in Milo. For four years he
served as judge of the municipal
court at Milo and in December 1910
was appointed by Governor Fernald
as clerk of courts of Piscataquis
county. He moved then to Dover
and served in that capacity for six
years. He was elected secretary of
State in 1917. During the time he
has held the Office the work of that
department has increased largely
especially in connection with pre-
pairing the ballots for elections and
registering automobiles.

The picture has been adapted from
the farce of the same name which

funniest plays ever written. In its
transformation into a motion picture
scores Of additional laughs have been
injected into it, with the result that
it is one of the most numerous pic

BITTER FEELING

father of the Asia Minor campaign
was Venizelos.
The Italian chairman of the sub
commission, Signor Montagna, had
previously warned both the Turkish
and Greek delegates that references
to massacres and cruelties must
henceforth be avoided, but, the
Turks alleged, Venizelos today re-
fused to obey this injunction. He
delivered a bitter indictment against
the Turkish army. and went so far,
the Turkish delegates assert, that
the chairman was obliged repeatedly
to call him to order.
After insistent attempts, Ria MUIR
Bey eventually got the floor and de-
Tended Turkey and then made a
personal attack on the former Greek
premier.
Another indication that feeling is
running high between the Turks and
Greeks was found in communique
which the Turkish delegation issued
later, declaring that recent advices
from Angora prove that the Greeks
are confiscating all the farms be-
longing to Moslems in Crete and that
the Mosems in the hills. fearing
massacre, have fed to the cities and
are dying of hunger.
every day more than 20 Moslems
are dying either through massacre
or hunger" said the communique.
land Moslems generally are forbid
den to leave Crete" The Turks also
allege mistreatment of the Moslems
in Mitylene.
Another complication in Near
Eastern conditions was disclosed in
telegram, dated Dec. -, which
reached here tonight from Beirut.
Foreign relief workers report that
between Dec . and 16 five thousand
Armenian refugees. fleeing from
| Turkey had arrived at Aleppo, and
1000 more were reported crossing
the border into Syria, the day the
despatch was forwarded.
''All are in an appalling state Of
restitution. and nearly all of them
were robbed" says the telegram.

Sheep and Wool
Growers Assn. is
Making Fine Growth

The Maine Sheep and Wool Grow
ers' Association have just completed
the final settlement of all wool pooled
the year 1921 on basis of 35c per
pound. During the month of June
when this wool was received the price
paid by buyers was from 16c to 1Sc
per pound, showing a net gain of
approximately 100 per cent.
The association is growing very
rapidly Letters being received from
sheep owners in the State CONTINUE
ously inquiring for information as to
how to get into the organization and
the method'of marketing which meets
with their approval generally as is
indicated by the fact that when the
same is received their membership
is forthcoming.
AS the plan of the association re-
quires no annual dues and is no
trouble to the members after once
their wool is pooled with the organ
izationAit appeals to them very
strongly.
Like all cooperative farmers or
CARNATIONS one of the greatest diff
ncuitleS 10 overcome is in getting
the wool into cash and cash back
to the producer in a reasonable time
AS the association has been COM
PEELED to market the wool through
other channels than the regular, it
has caused more or less delay in
making settlements. All indications.
however, are that in the future the
pooled wool will be disposed of and
the producers will receive pay for
their wool in very reasonable time.
The entire plan of the organiza-
ton doubtless appeals to all classes
of people strongly as is indicated by
the ever increasing demand for the
finished products, also for wool in
the grease by dealers generally. The
quality Of the wool pooled has i'm
proved considerably in the past two
years which doubtless is due to the

: Routine business was transacted
1t was voted to change the date OF
the annual meeting and banquet from
Wednesday. Jan. 10, the original date
to Wednesday, Jan. 5. The reason
for this change is the fact that the
speaker from the State Chamber Mr.
Blake could not come to Richmond
on the 10th but will be here on the
third of January. The meeting and
banquet will be held at the Hotel
Richmond as originally planned.
The local Chamber deserves the
support of the people of this vicinity
for its efforts to locate the proposed
Kennebec bridge at Richmond. This
matter is still a live issue with the
directors.
