that afternoon for Gallup. Mr.. Mar

club and the program was turned over
to him to give opportunity for the
members to hear his message.
Mr.. Martins talk was inspirational,
dealing exclusively with the purpose
of Rotary and the duties of each club
and its members in the community.
At it's conclusion, the applause was
long-sustained and hearty. He is a
thorough Rotarian and one who lives
the principles he stands for, the real
ization of which made his eloquent
talk the more impressive.
The meeting was called to order by
Vice President Fred S. Breen. /. B.
Koch had sent telegram from Cal
ifornia expressing regret that his i'll
ness, from which he is improving,
made it impossible for him to be here.
A message from Joe P. Wilson, who
is in Phoenix receiving medical at
tention, also expressed regret over
being absent. Both Mr.. Koch and Mr..
Wilson thanked the club for flowers
sent them last week.
A wire from President M. |. Powers,
still in Los Angeles, indicated that he
and Mr.. Koch had got together in a
sort of wake over being kept there
when they wanted to be here.
Cigars were provided by Tom Nc
Crrllough, who, according to the an
nouncement of the president, was
named .'Tom" Immediately following
an epidemic in his family several
years ago.
Visiting Rotarians: Horace E. Nay
of Winslow and Walter Selman OF
Phoenix.
Guests were: Mr.. Martin, w. M
Cady, Jr., Charles S. Mccormick, L.

Making of Thrill Almost Causes
Death of Richard Talmad

A thrill not in the picture almost
caused serious injury and perhaps
death to Richard Talnuadge, star of
I'm Fast Company" which is playing
special engagement at the Colonial
Theatre, when he was making one
of the big scenes along a cliff road on
Hollywood Mountain in California.
The automobile in which Talmadge
was speeding was pushed over the
edge of the cliff by n pursuing car
plunged 100 feet to the ravine below
where it was demolished. Only
Talmadge's agility saved his life.
He managed to jump just as the car
plunged into space. Mildred Harris.
his leading woman, also had a mar
row escape. having been dragged out
of the car by the occupants of the
other machine half minute before
the auto went over the embankment.
Talmadge's car skidded. the front
wheels went over the cliff, and the
next instant it was turning over and
over in a 100-foot crop. Talmadge
felt the bump and the car slide.
Dropping the wheel he made a quick
leap from the machine 1t all hap
pened so quickly that ut first 1t was
impossible to tell whether the star
had cleared the machine. Miss
Harris, who was doing her first thrill
picture, tainted, and a badly fright
ened bunch of players and camera
men stopped their cars, hurried back
to the spot and found Talmadge sit
ting by the road, nursing twisted
ankle and pair Of ba fly cut knees.

Maine Farmers
Exchange Votes
Fol-. a Probable
Consolidation
With N. E. Group

AS the result of the meeting OF the
stockholders of the Maine Farmers
Exchange held few weeks ago at
the State House to discuss plans for
readjusting the financial policy of the
organization a get-together OF the
stockholders was held yesterday in
the Senate chamber and a very i'm
portant step was taken, looking
toward the amalgamation of the or
ganization with the Eastern States
Farmers Exchange or some other or
ganization with like purposes. The
stockholders of the Maine Exchange
through the plan outlined in reso-
luton adopted at the session are eX-
pecting to get better service at less
cost.
The resolution passed at the meet
ing reads as follows:
ut Is the sentiment and belief Of
the stockholders of the Maine Farm
ers' Exchange that good business
principles demand that there be not
two cooperative organizations COM
peting for business in the same ter
ritory and that greatest economy in
operation can best be secured by an
amalgamation of all cooperative or
CARNATIONS dealing in similar COM
modities that are doing business in
the New England territory.
BE 1t resolved, that the stockhold-
ers in a legal meeting assembled in
Augusta on Aug. 8, 1924, do hereby
appoint the following persons, B. p.
Hamilton of WATERFORD. F. A. Potter
of Bangor. George e. Nash of Cam
den and Charles NJ. White of Augusta
as a committee to confer with and
arrange with the proper officials OF
the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change for an amalgamation of the
two organizations; that this commit
tee be empowered to make arrange
ments for such consolidation as may
seem best to them, provided that in
whatever plan may be adopted ade-
q1ate provisions be made for the pro-
lection of the local unions and coop
erative stores now existing. What
ever instruction and authority are
given this committee to negotiate
with the Eastern States Farmers Ex-
change. the same authority Is extend
ed to the committee to negotiate
with any other organization or indi-
viduals."
II the consolidation is made Of the
Maine Exchange with the Eastern
States Exchange, the maine office of
the Maine organization at Portland
will probably be made the distribut-
ing point for this State. One of the
features Of the program of the Eas-
tern States Farmers Exchange car
ried on last winter, was the running
Of two trainloads of grain from the
west weekly.

STATE. HOUSE

ONCE Of the Highway Commission
Of any accident suffered by any ira
weller on the highway or of any de-
lay to traffic. OF course there may
be delays of one or two minutes
from time to time, but there mas
been no delay which has caused
comment or complaint.
Persons who have formerly ira
yelled this highway and have had
occasion to pass over the same road
this year have marvelled at the
great amount of work which Is be -.
ing accomplished and at the speed
with which tho work is being car
ried on. On recent inspection, the
Commission learned that the day he-
fore $50 cubic yards of gravel had
been placed on the road between
Caratunk and The Forks in a single
day. This would be equivalent to
travelling one-third of a mile in
length sixteen feet wide and eight
inches in depth after rolling. This
work was accomplished by the em-
ployment of seventeen trucks, eight
teams. two mechanical leaders and
SO men. and the expense Of the
gravel spread on the road was con-
siderably less than $1.O0 per cubic
yard.
The ride from the Quebec line to
Bingham Is one of the most beau
tiful rides in New England and it
naturally attracts great many
tourists from all over the country.
as well as being a popular ride for
citizens of Maine. The Commission
Is anxious that parties contemplate
ing using this highway shall under
stand that reports said to emanate
from the city of Quebec, to the eff
feet that this road Is dangerous. are
untrue. Persons desiring to travel
this road need have no hesitancy in
SO doing.

just been appointed by Governor
Baxter as a member Of the State

year and a half.
Mr.. Innes has always been a
staunch Republican and strong
worker in the interests of the party.
He was formerly a member Of the
board of aldermen of the city of Saco.
Although never connected with high
way matters, Mr.. Innes has been
very interested in the highway pro-
blem of the State and being a man
