Women from IS states, meet
ing in Chicago, have planned a
cooperative association for the
marketing of eggs through the
establishment of selling ex-
charges in the various states. In
this way they think the profits
of the flock owners will be
tripIed and consumers will be
saved from 5 to 10 cents a
dozen. What is your opinion
of the project?

sion with threats to invoke court

stirred by the doings of the LaFol-
lette conference, issued statement
charging that the radicals do not aim
at fair regulation of the railways but
seek to cripple private management
and thus to make government owner
ship inevitable.
1.-THE railways cannot furnish the
public adequate and satisfactory serv-
ice," says the statement, unless they
can constantly raise large amounts of
new capital with which to increase
the capacity Of their equipment and
other facilities. They cannot raise
the new capital required for these
return sufficient to pay reasonable in
terest and dividends upon the existing
investment in railroad properties and
upon additional investment that must
be made.
1.-THE net return the railroads are
now allowed to earn Is based upon the
tentative valuation made by the inter
state commerce commission. The net
return they will be allowed to earn in
future will be based upon the final
valuation made by the commission.
The proponents Of government owner
ship are seeking to get a low valua-
ton and a consequent drastic reduc-
ton of the net return allowed, for the
plain purpose of making it impossible
for the railways under private man
agement to raise new capital, enlarge
the capacity of the properties, and
satisfactorily handle the country's
business"

been reported similar to this one. Many
mothers are left in a weakened and
rundown condition after the birth of

child itself will indirectly suffer.

GREW POINTS way
FOR TURKS TO win
CONFIDENCE OF U. S,

Lausanne. May 31-(By A. Ply
Joseph c. Grew. the American min
lister to Switzerland, had a lengthy
conference with Ismet Pasha, head
of the Turkish delegation, late to-
night, and impressed upon him the
desirability Of building up in the
United States an atmosphere of con-
fidence in Turkey. He advanced
several suggestions relative to the
powers of the foreign legal advisers.
Should Mr.. Crews representations
bring about any widening in the
scope of the authority of the ad-
visers, other countries would bene-
fit, as we'll as the United States.
The Turkish delegates in their
conversations with the Americans
ignore the existing Turco-American
treaties on the ground that they are
tainted with capitul0tions." The
Americans. nevertheless. are pro-
ceeding on the theory that the treat
les continue valid until new treaties
are concluded. but avoid the use of
the word capitulations in Difference
to Turkish susceptibilities.
AS soon as the delegates are
agreed on the general lines of a
treaty Mr.. Grew will, according, to
the present understanding, notify
the Swiss government and the notes
will be formally exchanged by him
and Ismet Pasha: formal separate
negotiations will then be opened,
the procedure being similar to that
between Poland and Turkey.
While the United States presum-
ably will accept the arrangement
made by the allies on the subject, of
the status of foreign residents in
Turkey. Mr.. Grew wants the powers
Of the foreign legal advisers made
as large as possible.
AS the new American treaties will
practically duplicate the general
Lausanne treaty. which it is hoped
will be signed before June -, the
Turco-American negotiations are
likely to proceed rapidly.
The allied leaders and Ismet
Pasha today discussed the great re-
manning problem of the Near East
conference.-the payment Of inter-
est on the Ottoman debt. Turkey
desires to be relieved of the obliga-
ton Of paying the coupons in for
eign currency. asserting that the
payment would be tantamount to
financial ruin. No solution has yet
been reached. but there is good hope
that a compromise may soon be
effected

BR|ToNS PROTEST

Graves End, England, May 81 (By
"A. P)-Another storm of protest
over the examination of long forgot
ten dead, reminiscent of that which
attended the efforts of Lord Carna-
Won and Howard Carter to resurrect
King Tutenkhamun. have greeted the
attempts of scientists seeking TO re-
cover the remains of the Indian
princess Pocahontas, believed to be
inferred in the graveyard of the par
lsh church in this little town on the
Thames.
Edward Page CASTOR. of Chicago,
the archaelogist who led the modern
cNcavating party which attempted
secretly to uncarth the bones of the
lndlan princess. was threatened for
ms pains by indignant Britons whose
forebcars lie buried with the legend
airy saviour of Captain John Smith.
Some of them declared that, if Cas-
ton violated their dead. he would
be cursed by evil spirits and would
meet the Same fate as Carnavon.'

dire forebodings, accompanied by a
number of British ahthropologists
and physicians. and armed with au.

FIRE MENACES
Entire VILLAGE

Milford, Ne. May s1-Fire today
destroyed part Of the Barker Lum-
Der and Box Company here with two
dwellings and large supplies of manu-
featured and short lumber piled en-
the shipping and sticking grounds
here. The box mill was saved by
tremendous effort.
For an hour or two the fire men,
aced the entire village. but timely
shift or the wind avcrted the great
er part of the danger to the village.
\ dozen dwellings and a big pile of
lumber on. the sticking grounds Of
the Jordan Lumber Company. a third
of mile away. caught fire. but were
exttnguished before serious damage
resulted.
It is estimated that the mills were
worth upward of 100000 while the
lumber and cars lost will bring that
figure up materially. The loss TO the
mills is fairly covered by insurance.
The Oldtown and Bangor fire de-
partments responded to calls for help
but the fire was under control of the

Damage To Apple Trees And
Gardens Reported From Au-
gusta, Chelsea, Windsor,
Monmouth, Belgrade And
MadisOn-Extent OF Blight
On Fruit Buds Not known
At Present

Jack Frost paid an unreasonable
visit in kcnncbec valley Wednesday
night and by sun up, Thursday
morning, it was discovered that
many of the early crops. which have
already bravely pushed their way
through the sod, in spite of repeated
cold snaps. were nipped. The garden
truck in the low lands was expected
to be the most badly affected.
AT one farm in Chelsea. some of
the newly arrived hills oftcucumbers,
corn and beans were frost bitten,
while hills right next to them were
unaffected. The frost worked in a
queer manner. AS Chelsea for the
most part, is located in fairly high
ground, the frost did not do as much
damage there as was expected.
The damage which has been done
to apple trees in this county, cannot
be estimated at the present time.
Considering the stage in which the
trees now are. it is difficult to as
certain by their appearances. if they
have been nipped. Time will deter
mine IL the apples are blighted.
that the frost damage was very
slight. In Windsor, the frost struck
very heavily.
In Augusta, especially on the east
side of the river, the frost was much
in evidence, before the sun melted it
away. The lawns on a number of
Stone street residences, were white
with frost and some Of the barns in
that locality presented very win
teriSh appearance with their frosty
coats.
The frost had it's effect in the
northern part Of the State. because
word was received from Northern
Maine Junction, Thursday morning,
that ice was frozen on the station
platform. Thursday morning, much
like winter time.
In Monmouth. while the reports
are that it is hoped the apples were
not affected. the early garden truck
was quite badly affected. In Mon
mouth village, it is reported that
water froZe on Maple street. The
thermometer in Monmouth reached
% degrees. Thursday morning.
DR.. G. NJ. Twitchell. who has an
fruit, says that he does not think
the apple trees. which is one of
Monmouth's biggest products. are
affected. The frost was quite severe
in South Monmouth.
In North Vassalboro. some OF the
early garden stuff was severely
dealt with. in many places. practi-
cally all garden stuff being laid low.
But the farmers are quite optimistic
there in regard to their apple trees
and they feel certain that the apple
trees escaped the frost.
A very heavy frost was visible in
Madison section as late as 6 O'Clock.
Thursday morning.
Strawberry plants are also re-
ported as being bitten by the frost.
