EUILT WITH SALVAGED GOLD
Remarkable Homestead in Maine
Which Was Constructed More
Than 1853 Years Ago.

AT Getchell's Corner, halfway be-
tween Waterville and Augusta, stands
the old Getchel homestead, built more
than 158 years ago.
When Benedict Arnold came up the
Kennebec on his expedition to Canada
one Of his bateaus, capsized near Get
chell's and several thousand dollars
worth of gold was lost. The following
spring three of the Getchell boys went
down and salvaged the gold, and with
it built this house.
The house is big square building
with an L attached in back. An an
cient f1agstone walk leads to the mas
sive front door with big brass
knocker. Inside the scheme Of deco
ration and furnishing is just as it was
many years ago Quaint furniture,
ancient candlesticks and big brass
warming pan are of interest. The big
doors were fashioned by hand and
swung on LII hinges that the super
stitious people of long ago put on,
The LII stood for Lord Help Us and
Keep Witches Away" The beams of
the building are hewn and of large
proportion. The boards in many in
stances are two and three feet wide.
Upstairs there is wonderful old
bed made more than 200 years ago. The
four posts are carved from walnut
while overhead an arched canopy of
white linen is arranged
Hundreds of autosts pass this little
village every day during the summer
months, but only {. few of them realize
the beauty and historical interest that
are in that little plot of land less than
a mile square.-Portland Press Herald.

LOVE LETTERS CRIME
MOTIVE IN BIG PICTURE

If you write love letters to a girl
always date your letters. Otherwise
/ they may serve a purpose that is in
spired by anything but love. This
is the moral gained from the expert
ence of Julian Rolfe, played by Will
liam T. Carleton in 1.-The Law and
the Woman" new Paramount pic
ture starring Betty COmpson, COM
ing to the Kenworthy theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday.
In this screen adaptation of Clyde
Fitch's play, Mr.. Carleton plays the
role of the husband who is accused
of the murder of his young ward, who
has just been married to an unscrup-
ulous woman with whom Rolfe had
been infatuated some years before.
The browning blow in the evidence
against the innocent man, is series
of undated letters claimed by the
woman to have been received from
Rolfe just before the murder, thus
pointing to jealousy as the motive
for the alleged murder.
Betty Compson plays the role of the
wife, who, after her husbands con-
viction, wrings from the other wo-
man the secret of the real criminal.
How she does this and the startling
results constitute one of the cleverest
and most interesting dramas In the
history of the screen. The picture
was directed by Penrhyn Stanlaws.

Portable clothing, good food and a
clean, well-ventilated place to sleep;
they should have sufficient work to
keep body and mind employed for a
days work and that they should have
an opportunity for healthful recrea-
ton and mental and spiritual de-
velopment.
The board sets forth that most of
the buildings and equipment at the
state penitentiary are aniquated and
that the state will soon face the neces-
sity of building new penitentiary.
Modern cell equipment and cell houses
must be demanded soon. One of the
features most needed at this time is
the providing of dormitory for the
separation of the boys or first-timers
from the more or less habitual Grim
inals.
In the meantime the board will use

AN EPOCH IN LIFE OF
UNIVERSITY

News that the University of Idaho
has come into possession OF the Ida
no Harvester Co. plant at this place
should be received with no little sat
isfaction by the people of the state
who are interested in the university.
A complete, modern plant will be
utilized in furthering the practical
education of the young people of the
state, and is made available at a COM
paratively nominal cost, the state
coming into possession of property
at cost of $4,000, which, when it
was assembled during the days of
low prices of material and labor, cost
sum, and which would, under present
conditions, cost probably 100000.
Of greatest Importance, however, is
the fact that long step has been
taken toward providing for the growth
of the University of Idaho, which
could only be delayed by inadequate
ing the college of engineering to the
newly-acquired property, more room
is available on the campus for other
departments, and it is needless to
say that the institution, in order to
care for the 1900 or more students
who will come to the university this

The acquisition of the harvester
plant, coupled with the new science

epoch in the history of Idaho's great

Idaho into one of the great educa-
tional institutions Of the west. The

A practical demonstration of CO.
operation is to be had in the free |
employment agency conducted in Mos
COW by the farmers union and the
chamber of commerce, to aid the FAR
mers of Latah county in securing
help to harvest their crop. Excellent
results are being obtained. This is
lust as it should be. 1t is just as
important, or practically so, to the
business man that the crop be har-
vested as it is to the farmer Those
things which add to the prosperity OF
one, adds. to the prosperity OF both.
Occasionally you find farmer or a
business man who does not possess
the cooperative spirit, and who is
not in sympathy with lending aid to
anyone. He is very much in the
however, and knows in his
own heart that he isn't worth any
hing to his community.
