 Billy Hallen Is the headliner on the bill and he is known as one of the best comedians in vaudeville. His line this year is described as one of the cleverest he has ever put out
 The added attraction brings on more comedy that of the nonsense kind. Fay Gordon and Franklyn Gates put it on under the title of Minus Sense"
 A bit of variety is added to the program by the special feature. The Tuscano Brothers. skillful wielders of Roman axes, supply it with an act which is said to be filled with thrills and astonishment.

Cabbage.

Cabbage is found on the market
or in the home garden in abund-
ance at this time of the season.
1t is, in fact, vegetable which
may be had greater portion of
the winter months. All the three
important vitamines are found in
cabbage, which makes it one of
the important vegetables for the
diet.
Two suggestions might be CIV
en- in the preparation and cooking
of cabbage. In order to clean
cabbage easily, soak with the head
down in cold sailed water to
which has been added few tea
spoons of vinegar. This will
cause bugs and worms to crawl
out. If the cabbage is cooked in
a large quantity of water with the
kettle uncovered, there will be
less odor to annoy the neighbars.

CEn'.ssgii.A.n,'i TO GIVE Up
PASSIVE RESISTANCE
Chancellor and Cabinet Decide
on Unconditional Surrender
to Save Republic,

Berlin.-Germany decided to give
up passive resistance Internationally
Allied sources here indicated the
offer would be accepted.
The struggle of wills in the RUIZ
that has cost hundred lives and q
billion dollars, is expected to end mex
week.
The German cabinet met with Chan
cellor Stresemann and decided the
passive resistance for which the gov
eminent has paid out quadrillions o.
marks must cease if the republic is
to be saved from economic disaster
and revolution.
1t voted, therefore, to exceed its OF
fer made through the Belgian min
lister. This offer had two conditions
attached:
1. Release of Ruhr prisoners held
by the French.
2. Return of persons deported.
The new decision is for surrender
without conditions.
Allied representatives, believing this
proposal would be acceptable, said the
French and Belgians were disposed tc
return the captives and those deport
ed voluntarily following the capitula
ton.
With Ruhr resistance called off, dis
cussion of PREPARATIONS on scale larg
er than Germany hitherto has agreed
to is in order.

COVE COMMENTS.
By G. A. Renouf.

Hello, folks! No, I have not
been too lazy to write of late; it s
simply case of too much work.
(You know how it is). But for
the benefit of some who may read
this, l will amplify a little. Take
anything we raise: berries, apples,
eggs, ETC., that we get actually
less for than we did Is years ago.
What is the reason9 Is it over
production? | don't think so. Is
it mderconsumption? Hardly.
City folk eat as much as they ever
did and there are more to do the
eating. What, then, is the reason
that city workers are drawing
more pay for their work, while
we do not actually make wages,
let alone interest on our capital
outlay as represented in the land
and improvements thereonY The
reasons are manifold: higher
freight rates, increased wharfage,
more commission, which eats toll
OF from one to two-thirds OF the
actual wholesale price realized.
What the consumer eventually
pays is another matter after the
produce has passed through the
hands Of the retailer who has to
pay exhorbitant rents and other
expenses SO that part Of the
trouble is III the cost OF distribu-
ton. Do we believe the men who
are in the freight, wharfage and
commission business are in it for
their health? Hardly. They are
IN business for all the profit it will
pay and not for philanthropy
Are we, then, to blame for our
lack Of prosperityg | think we
are, because we are so engrossed
in our individual productive work
and lacking confidence in one an
other, that we mostly "let George
do it," and George" collects a
handsome revenue for his work.
Do we want government subsidy
to supplement the prices OF our
products9 l do not think we do,
but little government help and
direction along the lines of coop
Grafton would do some real good
and help to eliminate the collec-
tive George between us and the
consumer. Until something Of this
kind happens we will grub along
in the same old way.

medium size. Cut the cabbage in
eight equal parts down to the core
or stalk, but do not cut through.
Tie the head of cabbage in piece
of cheese cloth to keep it in
shape. Cook the cabbage, uncov-
cred, in a large quantity of boiling
sailed water. The time depends
on the age and size of the head.
Usually from 25 to 30 minutes
Remove from water and take off
string and cloth. Place on a white
platter and open it. Turn back
the leaves like the petals of a

or Hollandaise sauce over the
cabbage and sprinkle a few tea
spoons of grated American cheese
over the mixture. Shake some
paprika over it and place it in the
oven a few minutes, or until the
cheese dissolves, and serve.

and salt, mixing thoroughly. Add
the milk and stir until the mix
ture is smooth. This may be made
in pan directly over the heat by
adding the milk more slowly. The
cooked vegetable should be placed
in the serving dish and the white
sauce poured over it.

DISEASES OF BERRIES.

Plant Pathologist, Western Wash
;nntnn Eynnrimnnt Station

, Plant Pathologist, Western wash
ington Experiment Station.
The matter of the presence OF
running out diseases which are
also known as degeneration dis
eases has become of widespread
interest. In fact, the future OF the
industry depensd to a consider
able extent on just how actively
the fight against these troubles is
taken up. 1t is well recognized
fact that yields have been going
down in certain fields for some
seasons and also that many fields
have given out altogether. These
troubles have been present for a
good many years, but it is only re-
Gently that the nature OF the
trouble has been recognized and
the study Of them commenced.
At the present time three dis
eases are recognized as present in
the raspberry fields. These are
the mosaic, leaf curl and the blue
stem. Although not much is yet
known about them, still we do
know that they are present, that
they are doing much damage,
| what their symptoms are, how
| they are spread and beginning
has been made on control meth
DDS. These troubles affect rasp-
| berries, both red and black, logan
berries and to some extent, bush
| blackberries.
The symptoms are many and
varied and often are difficult to
| detect, particularly in the earlier
stages, except to the trained eye.
Nothing and curling of the leaves
stunting of the canes, reduction of
| the yield and finally death of the
plant-these are the chief out
| standing symptoms.
No organism has been found
present in the plants that is di-
rectly responsible of the trouble,
but it is hoped that future work
will reveal the direct cause. The
chief way that the disease is
spread is Of great interest to the
grower. for this has been found
| to be by the use Of diseased plants
for setting. If sets are taken from
diseased plant, the sets are dis
eased also.
Control measures that have been
worked out in eastern states
where they have been actively
fighting these troubles are: First,
use of clean stock; second, careful
inspection of all fields and the re
moval of all plants showing any
of the disease at all; control of
insects such as aphids and leaf
hoppers, for these are capable OF
spreading the disease from one
plant to another.
The chief measure that is inn
portant for western Washington
growers to make sure that the
plants they use for planting out
new fields must have come from
healthy plants. Second, the rouge
ing of new fields is important and
should be attended to zealously.
The above diseases constitute a
real menace to the whole berry

OAK GROVE OPENS
ITS SEvENTY-FIFTH
YEAR WITH CHANGES
Especial to Keunebec JournaD


Vassalboro, Sept. Soak Grove
Seminary opens its doors on Tuesday.
Sept. II, for the 18th year. Plans are
already under way for the celebration
of the three-quarters of a century
mark next June and the prospects
now point to a banner year as a fitting
accompaniment to the coming exer-
cises. Many repairs and improvements
have been made about the grounds and
buildings during the summer. The
most conspicuous change is the COM
plete renovation of the school Offices
The board of managers at the mid
summer meeting voted that the Offices
should be made over and equipped in
excellent shape. The private Office
has been enlarged and both rooms are
efficiently and artisticaIly appointed.
1t is the fixed policy of the board of
managers to build up a strong faculty
at Oak Grove, and the five new teach
ers who will begin their duties this
week have been selected from long
list of candidates and each one should
prove distinct addition.
Miss Mary B. Wilton of New Ro-
chelle. n. Y. is the new head of the
Latin department. succeeding Miss Gift
ford. who sails on Sept. IL for a year
of study in Italy. Miss Wilton is
graduate of Smith College and a wom-
an of travel and broad experience.
From 1900 to 1906 Miss Wilton taught
Latin in he National Cathedral School
at Washington. D. c.. where she num-
bered among her pupils the daughters
of the most prominent families in the
city. including those of two presidents.
From 1906 to 1918 Miss Wilton was
one of the joint heads of a select pri-
waite school for girls on Riverdale ave-
nue.. New York City.
Miss Gertrude Jenness of Rochester,
n. H., will teach mathematics and BIZ
ology. Miss Jenness is a graduate of
Mount Holyoke. where she specialized
in these subjects and acted as student
instructor for two years. Miss Jen-
ness is a brilliant student and pos
sesses pleasing personality which
should soon enable her to fill the place
at Oak Grove left vacant by her sister
who was married last month to Profess
sor Ham of Newark. NJ.
The work in French and Spanish will
be under the direction OF Miss Helen
Meader of Dover. n. H.. who is a grad
uate of Moses Brown School of Provi-
dence. r. l.. and of New Hampshire
College in the class Of 1921. For the
past two years Miss Meader has taught
modern languages in the Woodstock
High school with excellent success.
Miss Meader's work with the Girl
Scouts. added to her own love of girls
and her vivacious personality, make
her admirably suited to act as physical
director for the Oak Grove girls.

Four Voters In Smallest
Precinct In United States

st. Louis, Sept. s CA. PA voting
precinct in ST. Louis County. with
four perennial residents, is believed
to have the smallest population of
known qualified voters of any pre-
cinct in the United States.
The precinct is at Washington Uni
versity, just west of st. Louis City,
and the four residents are wondering
how they can distribute themselves
at elections to provide the necessary
six precinct officials.
The quartet, however, takes COM
fort in the fact that some members of
the faculty stay at the dormitories
when the university is in session,
and some of these may be qualified
voters in st. Louis County.
Those who reside at the university
throughout the year7are Jake Reich
ert, janitor, and his wife, and Nor
ris Boorstin, superintendent Of build
ings and grounds, and Mrs. Boorstin.
Formerly they voted at the county
courthouse, at Clayton, but at the last
session Of the state legislature a law
was passed providing for a board Of
election commissioners in st. Louis
County. This law necessitated a re-
districting of precincts. as 1t forbids
the adjoining Of municipal and rural,
or unattached, territory in a precinct.
AS Washington, University Is not in
municipality, but Is surrounded by
municipalities. it was necessary to
make the grounds Of the institution a
separate precinct. The unique pre-
cinct will be in operation for the first
time Sept. 1920, when a registration
will be held in st. Louis County.

Probably the most interest
ing feature of the convention
of the Telephone Association
of Maine which is to be held
here on Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week is the Address on "Sys-
tenn" by the Vice President of the
New England Telephone Company,
who will speak to the delegates as
they sit at the Augusta House, from
his office in Boston. This will be
made possible through the use of a
long distance telephone line from
Boston to this city with a special
loud speaker transmitter so attached
here that speech will be easily heard
from any part of the room. 1t is
thought that this is the first time that
such demonstration has been made in
Maine.
There will be representatives from
the majority of the 120 telephone
companies of Maine which compose
the Association present at this con-
yention and every effort has been
made to put on a program that shall
he of benefit to all who attend and
at the same time provide the necessary
entertainment and pleasure. 1t is es-
timated that the attendance will be
about 100.
A feature of the banquet on Tues
day evening will be the entertainment
which is to be furnished by the oper-
ating forces of the Augusta and Lew
iston exchanges. There will be a
number of clever singing and dancing
acts as we'll as numerous instrument
tai numbers and perhaps some sur
prises.
On Wednesday afternoon sports
of all sorts will be held at Capitol
Park and it is expected that there
will be some keen competition in the
various events
