Fox Monte Cristo" a Giant
Production

Alexander Dumas, considered by
many book lovers as the greatest
writer of fiction of all times, almost
invariably used as his thc,1o TIC
safety of thrones; but in his classic
Monte Cristo," which has been niadc
by William Fox into a super photo
production and which is now showing
at the Opera House, Dumas drifts
from the theme of which he seemed
to be the master. 50 that of the OPP
preston of a soul that lived but to
Cypress other souls.
Though the story deals with a
period III French history which
aIounds with dramatic incidents that
we'll might serve as a plot for his
tOrical writing. i. G., the Napoleonc
period, yet, the writer was not
tempted by such an alluring halt.
Nevertheless the story is an all alb
sorbing one which grips the spec
tator and holds his attention to the
very end.
The manner in which the leading
character. Edmund Dantes. makes
himself the instrument of retributive
justice is so we'll done that even
though his acts seem somewhat I'M
holy, one cannot but glory with him.
Today and tomorrow will be the
last chance to see this dramatic
wonder picture, which has three of
the strongest passions known in a
life time. Love, Hate, Revenge.

Haiti Youth Like

The sons of the best families in

others are awaiting their final cx-

Division of Markets State
Department of Agriculture
Warns Cooperative Stores

The following letter is being sent
out from the Maine Department of
Agriculture, Division Of Markets, to
the managers of Cooperatives:
Economic conditions all over the
country in regard to agriculture are
such that serious thought should be
given to certain facts before plans for
next year are completed More at
tention should be given the buying of
supplies for the raising of the 1928
crop. The old saying that Goods
well bought are half sold is appli-
cable now.
"1-ong term payments for fertilizers
a.&* rnean considerable losses to the
firms who sell that way, and they in
turn must charge those who do pay
enough to make up the loss. We
hope that the management Of the
Farmers Unions and other agricul
tural organizations in the State will
give this matter of cooperative cash
buying more thought than usual.
"A few dollars a ton saved on fer
tilizer or feeds through buying for
cash is as much part Of the profit
as that made on the selling end and
oftentimes the saving Of a few dol
lars an acre on the fertilizer may
mean the difference between loss or
profit. A direct appeal to the farm
crs on this line Of argument might re-
veal to them a chance to recover from
their 1921 and 1922 losses by lessen
ing their 1923 costs of production.
ITO those farmers who have no
surplus with which to take advan-
tage of cash prices the State Farm
Loan Act may make a strong ap-
PEAL. This affords to farmers with
reasonable security the means of OBJ
tanning capital to finance their OPP
crations on a long term payment
plan.
More information in regard to this
state Farm Loan Act may be had by
writing the Department of Agrcul-
ture. Augusta, Me.
Sincerely yours,
j. THOMAS DIONNE,
Field Agent Division of Markets"

State Valuation Will
Show Increase Over '21

1t is expected that the new valu-
alton Of the State will show an in
crease but probably not as great as
two years ago. when nearly $4,000, =
600 was added to the valuation.
Chairman Clement S. Stetson of he
Board of State Assessors makes this
prediction and bases it on two facts.
THE S0th Legislature passed q
law to tax shares of bank stock di-
rectly from this department" said
Mr.. Stetson. This law takes this
whole matter out of the hands of
local assessors and therefore out of
the State valuation. AS there is
about $10,0O0,000 of bank stock in
the State, the valuation is lowered
by SO much at the outset"
Livestock in Maine has depreci-
ated in amount and also in value
noticeably within the last two years."
continued Mr.. Stetson There are
at least $4,000 fewer cows in Maine
now than in 1920. Whereas the av-
crage value of COW two years ago
was 500, it is now about $50. A
similar situation prevails in all
classes OF livestock"
Questioned as to the reason for
this slump, Mr.. Etetson declared he
believed it mainly due to the failure
of the hay crop in 1921. Hay last
year averaged $40 ton" said Mr..
Stetson. land much of it was of poor
quality: grain was also high and
people were forced to sell their
stock"
Real estate valuation should show
some increase, in the opinion of Mr..
Stetson.
The Board Of State Assessors be-
gan on Tuesday the task Of revising
the valuation Of the State, the re-
vision to stand for the years 1923
and 1924. The law provides that the
board shall each two years make
revaluation OF all property, real and
personal. in the State. after y shs,,
