Poultry.culling Week.

The week of September lille has
been designated as poultry culling
week, time for every poultryman to
examine his hens and eliminate the
non-layers. This drive against the
culls is a part of the program of ex-
tension work planned by the Han
cock County Farm Bureau, and is
undertaken as result of previous
demonstrations which show that
about one-third of the hens stop lay
ing early in the summer and are no
longer profitable.
During August and the early part
of September, culling demonstrations
will be held in practically every COM
munity in the county, at which the
method of determining the culls will
be taught. If you do not already
know how to Gull, be sure to attend
one of the demonstrations. Further
information and schedule of dates
will be published later.

The principal is established by the
court that all liquors in possession
in a private dwelling previous to tho
enactment of the federal prohibition
act. or previous to Feb. 1, 1920, are
not subject to seizure, but all liquors
received after that date are illegally

MARIAVILUE SAYS NO,
County Commissioners Now Asked to
Discontinue JOrdan's Bridge Road.


At meeting of the county COM
presented signed by DR.. G. G. Nor
rison, isr.. and eight others, asking the
county commissioners to discontinue
the road in the town of Mariaville
known as the Jordan's Bridge road
The discontinuance Of the road is
necessary to the building Of The big
dam at Brimmer's bridge, which
would flow out Jordans bridge and
a section of the road. The town of
Waltham has already voted 10 dis
continue the same road on its side
of the river, and it's half of the
bridge, so that the Mariav:lle road
and half of the bridge, if continued,
would lead nowhere but to a jump
ing-off place in the middle of the
river.
At a recent special meeting of the
town of Mariaville, it was voted not
to discontinue the road, hence the
petition to the county commissioners.
The petition reviews the situation,
declaring that the refusal CT the
town to discontinue the road is I'M
reasonable, opposed to the interests
of the town of Mariaville and of
Hancock county; that it imposes
upon the town the maintenance of
road on which there are no inhabi-
tants and which leads nowhere, and
that it would interfere with the de-
velopment of large public utility
meaning the building of the storage
dam at Brimmers bridge. The full
text of the petition, with the order
of the county commissioners for
hearing at the schoolhouse in Maria
vile on Saturday, Aug. -, at 8 a. M,
appears on page 4.
1t is understood that some citizens
of the town argue that the Bar Har-
Dor & Union River Power Co. should
give the town large sum of money
Something like 100000 being sug-
gested) as a condition for the dis
continuance of this short piece of
road. The company has offered the
town $4,000 as contribution
towards the improvement of it's other
roads. 1t is within the power of the
county commissioners to order the
discontinuance of the road, without
any award to the town.

His Back Against the WALL"

The new Goldwyn photoplay, Ills
Back Against the WALL" coming to
the Dirigo theatre for two days, be-
ginning to-day, is one of the most
consistent motion picture farce
comedies produced in recent years.
1t tells the story of a coward whom
force of circumstances has trans
formed into a hero. Against his
will, the shivering coward has I'M
knowingly "shot up" bully in a
famous dad" town. How he lives
up to his reputation, and the humor
of his ordeal, is admirably shown by
Raymond Hatton, who gives subtle
and intelligent Interpretation of
difficult character. Ellis Back
Against the Wall" contains a differ
ent sort of humor than the screen
has ever seen. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated.-Ad

COLOR LINE IN POLITICS

The Washington Post calls atten-
ton to the fact that there is talk of
recognizing the Republican party in
Florida on a white" basis. Florida
would exclude the colored man or
woman from the right to vote. A
similar experiment was made last
year in Virginia.
THE Republicans of the Old Do
minion made, an appeal for support
for a State ticket which had been
nominated by a convention composed
only Of white men.
1.-THE experiment failed completely.
The colored contingent Of the party
resented the movement by putting a
state ticket of it's own in the field,
while those Democrats for whom the
white contingent was angling failed
or refused to bite. The Democratic
ticket was elected by the largest ma
jority ever recorded in a State con-
test"
The United States Constitution
states very clearly that race, color.
and previous condition Of servitude"
shall not disfranchse the colored
person. Why should Florida. or
aristocratic Virginia, the mother of
presidents or any other state for
that matter be permitted to evade the
Federal Constitution?

Federal Constitution?

There has been vigorous chewing
and multifarious blufflng over Ger
man reparations. France has asked
no more than she ought to have. The
German nation is accountable for the
deliberate and fiendish destruction of
property withou. cause or reason.
But has Germany, as nation, got the
money to pay and can she get it in
full? Is it better to collect the repair
ations through the medium of Ger
man government or by invasion and
seizure? There are good reasons to
conclude the latter process would
cost more in money and trouble than
the collections would amount to. 1t
would be impossible to take the Ger
man profiteers by the heels and shake
their ill-gotten gains from their
pockets, and that's where the bulk Of
the available resources are, it seems.
II the reparations are to come
through the German government as
an intermediary the present one is
the most promising. But it is evident
that il the full amount is exacted this
government will fall and its successor
be worse one. The horns of this
dilemma are sharp.

Maine and the Railways
(Boston Herald.)

The committee appointed by Gov.
Baxter to investigate the railway
situation in Maine in preparation for
the hearings to come before the in
terstate commerce commission is al
ready for the job. Public meetings
are announced for Portland, Houlton,
Bangor and Augusta. all within the
next three weeks. The call for these
meetings states accurately that "a
solution of the question now before
us is the most important railroad
matter that our citizens have been
called upon to consider"
At least three of the New Eng
land states now have committees Of
able and public spirited men at work
on Our railroad problem. The Con-
nccticut committee was appointed
some time ago The Massachusetts
committee recently named, is accum-
ulating information. The issues in
volved are common to all the New
England states. and doubtless these
state committees will keep in touch
with one another and seek a conclu-
sion that may be offered the I. c. c.
as their matured opinion on a sub
ject that may we'll determine our in
dustrial future.

George has long put Oh the apparent
~ inevitable. Meanwhile business in
England has been improving and
along with it other conditions. He
has found fabrication to keep the old
machine running. He may be car
rying his method too far in trying to
make the Bolshevik monstrosity into
a going concern. There are machines
which are past all the arts Of lubri-
cation, but the fact yet remains and
should carefully be considered, that if
our machine civilization" is to con-
tinue to run the very best methods
of fabrication must be devised and
must proceed from the human heart
as we'll as brain. The human factor
in our machine age is just as import
ant as it was in the days Of Adam.
