fact that no wide Jumps of the in
sect have been determined during
the year, DIR. Marlatt says, may be
credited in largo part to the quar-
antine enforced by the department

cerned, and would seem TO justify

port of the quarantine.
Regarding the situation in Maine,
Commissioner of Agriculture +. p.
Washburn stated Thursday that SO
far it is confined to York County.
Inspectors have secuted Cumberland
and Oxford Counties without find
ing any trace of infestation.

"SCHOOL DAYS" ARE HAPPY
DAYS
Wesley Barry, Idol of the Screen, to
Reveal the Heart of Boyhood

The youth of today may never feel
the thrill of discovering the secret
in the hollow tree stump, but Wesley
Barry, the freckle-fa idol of the
screen, in his latest starring vehicle,
Gus Edwards "School Days." spon-
sored by Warner Brothers, which
will be the feature attraction at the
Opera House today and tomorrow
admits that he hasn't as yet i'm
earthed the secret.
Despite the fact that Wesley is
said to be tutored by a private
teacher, after studio hours, his latest
portrayal embodies all the pranlls,
the disappointments' and the glory
% the untamable, irresponsible heart
of boyhood. The appeal of the pic
ture is attributed to the fact that
every human being has at some time
or other some through the primary
stages of school.
AS Speck Brown, the carefree small
town youngster, WesB meets q
wealthy uncle who persuades him to
acquire an education under the tutor
ship of a private teacher in the East.
Specll mingles with the wealthy
juvenile set, but finds the life devoid
of thrills, although he tries his
darndest to create a rumpus among
the younger elite. The many trials
that beset him in his desire to interest

Left, an eccentric small town man,
and to be u social light in his new
surroundings, bring the realization
that the old swimmin' hole and his
Cog and little sweetheart are the only
things worth while for him.
Speck, therefore, deserts his pala-
tial surroundings and goes back home
via the freight train route. Aiding
and abetting the young star are a
number of talented youngsters, and
