territories were represented by
governors.

Einia delivered IL most interesting

Baxter. Governor Mabey of Utah
spoke upon the problems of the land

How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to prepare,
and saves you about Sc.

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
lions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The Syrup part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 2M ounces
of Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with home made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses. honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than you can buy ready made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure. good and tastes very pleasant.

1t is expected that Edgar NJ. Ward,
a former resident of Randolph, who
is serving a life sentence in states
prison for murder. will know his fate
today at the time of the regular scs-
sion of the governor and council. A
petition for the pardon of Ward was
heard at the September session Of
the council and the matter has been
on the table since that time.

perior court for Androscosgin in 1919
for. the murder of Marie Bernier of
Lewiston by placing a poisonous
substance in some liquor which she
drank while they were on party to-
gether.
Judge Benedict F. Maher of Au-
susta. who appeared as counsel for
the petitioners for Wards pardon at
the September meeting of the council,
argued that Ward did not have ex-
elusive opportunity to commit the
crime and that the poison might
have been in the liquor when it was
bought of ''boot-legger" at Lewis
ton.
A hearing will be given by the
governor and council at its meeting

Charities Board
Inspects the Town
Farm at Readfeld

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections issued on Monday the
following report of an inspection of
the Readficld Town Farm, made Oct.
II, last:
Administration-Mr. and Mrs.
Riley c. Huff rent the Readfield farm,
paying $3.50 per year. with the under
standing that all town paupers shall
be boarded there at the rate of $500
per week.
Conditions observed-There is but
one inmate at the present time, a
man over sixty years OF age who is
feeble minded. He is in poor health
and Is a great care as he suffers
from enurisis. He sits alone the
greater part of the time in his room
which is over the kitchen and which
receives very little care from the
matron. This man should be placed
in an institution where he would re-
Ceive better care. There are quite q
few Migrants cared for at the Farm
and it seems as if some method
might be adopted by which the Farm
would be relieved of the care of these
professional tramps.
recommendations: l. The chimney
should be repaired; 2, That the wood
sheds be repaired or torn down.

Because the screen is essentially
pictorial it owes much of its beauty
to it's art directors whose work it is
to design settings. Tremendous
strides along these lines have been
made recently by Pcnrhyn Stanlaws
in the productions he has recently
directed, by Natascha Rambova in
Nazimova's "Salome" and by Charles
SeCsel who was responsible for the

Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" and many

Mr., Seesel designed and super
vised building the sets for The Girl
Who Came Back" the current
feature at the Colonial theatre. He
explains his art by saying that the
sets should be to a player what a
frame is to a picture.
1T should set off the players good
points and bring out his personality
without 'hogging' the spectators at
tention," says Mr.. Seesel. We poke
fun at the nouveau richie who piles
on diamonds to look wealthy; motion
picture sets are a parallel. The
more lavish the details. the less they
impress us. Usually. the simpler the
details, the richer they look.
