March 25-The first robins and
meadow larks for the season arrived
at Good Will last week, and the first
blue birds were seen and heard just
before sunrise. March "a.
The Good Will Y. NJ. c. A. usually
holds it's weekly meeting In Tracy
hall. but last week, upon invitation
of G. w. Hinckley, the meeting was
held in the big dining room at Clo-

simple method was explained by
which each member by use of pencil
and a chart, could show himself how
near he came to being well balanced
physically, socially, reIigiously and
intellectually. 1t was the first relig-
ious meeting held at Cloverslope,

tuberculosis in
Maine Cattle Is
Being Stamped Out

A map showing the extent Of bo-
vino tuberculosis in every county in
Maine has just been completed by H.
NJ. Tucker and DIR. J. b. Reidy of the
State division of animal industry and
will be sent to Washington, D. c., to
be included in the map Of the whole
country which will be prepared by the
bureau of animal industry of the q. S.
Department of Agriculture.
1t is interesting to note that every
county in Maine except three are I'M
der 1 per cent. of infection. Cumber-
land shown rs per cent infection,
Sagadahoc 1.9 and York $40.
Maine is to be congratulated upon
being one of the states where a very
small per cent. Of bovine tuberculosis
is to be found. In the recent report of
DR.. Smith. State veterinarian for New
Hampshire, it was pointed out that
bovine infection in that state was over
% per cent. The other New England
states with the exception Of Massachu-
sets are rated about the same as New
Hampshire in this respect. The per-
cent of infection in Massachusetts, is
little higher.
The states are realizing the import
ance of the work of stamping out tu-
berculosis in cattle, and as evidence of
this the legislature of New York has
just appropriated 100000 for this
work, in addition to $5,0e0,0o0 appre-
priated by the last legislature. The ap-
preparation for this work in Maine is
about $4,000 year.
Bovine tuberculosis in Maine was es-
timated at about 4 per cent. in 1920,
when the work here was started in
earnest with six inspectors employing
the new method of testing cattle. BY
the new method employed 10 herds of
! cattle can be tested as quickly as one
could be tested under the old method.

INTEREST GROWING
FOR BETTER TOWN
AND CITY SYSTEMS
OF ACCOUNTING

"Officials i'll some of the towns of
the State have the idea that the sys-
tenn of uniform accounting which
will be installed for any city or town
in the State under the provisions of
Chapter 161 of the Public Laws Of
1923, will be more complicated and
will require more work than those
now employed. but in reality it is a
simple SYSTEM" asserted State Audi
tor Hayford on Tuesday.
Mr.. Hayford declared that at the
end of the year IN many of the
towns. the treasNrers are busily en-
~aged for several days in going over
their books and picking out the
items which must be reported. If
the books were kept with the uni
form system classifications these
items would be set forth so that
they could be procured on short
notice.
Some Of the towns have very good
accounting systems at the present
time, Mr.. Hayford pointed out But
in some of the little plantations there
! is little or no bookkeeping, the
stubs of the treasurer's check books
being the only evidence of accounts
paid. Mr.. Hayford said that those
are the places that the State audi
tors office force want to help out.
Although none of the cities or
towns in the State have yet taken
advantage of the act of the last leg
islature by applying for installation
of a uniform accounting system, Mr..
Hayford reports that he is receiving
many letters regarding the matter
indicating that the interest in better
bookkeeping methods for cities and
towns is growing.

Young Love Affairs in "Penrod and
SAM

Young Love AU0lES IN EcIAEOu uuu
SAM
II you remember your first love
affair-and who doesnt?-you are
going to. enjoy immensely one of the
episodes in 'Penrod and Sam"
which is coming to the Opera house
today and tomorrow. This First
National picture was directed by
William Beaudine' from the story by
Booth Harrington.
: Penrod. played by Benny Alexan-
der, that spontaneously efferverscing
youngster who leads the neighbor-
hood kids into every conceivable
kind of mischief, is truly boy and
lover at heart. and in "Penrod
and Sam" he endures all the joys
and despairs of a desperate romance
with Marjorie Jones, who is por-
trayed by Gertrude Messenger.
Not only does he have to endure
he is likewise compelled to put up
with the disdain expressed by his
companions because of his affair of
the heart. His chum, Sam Will
liams, in particular, is disguested
with such sentimental nonsense and
he makes no effort to disguise his
feelings in this respect.
Notwithstanding his own romance,
Penrod joins Sam in ''razzing" the
latter's brother, who is counting
Penrod's sister. They take especial
delight in making things disagree
able for the lovers and their brains
are fertile in evolving methods of
getting their goat"
Mary Philbin and Gareth Hughes
play the parts of the young lovers,
while Joe Butterworth is the inimit-
able Sam.-Adv.

Fireless Cookers To
Be Made Everywhere

. Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Orono, Me-, March 25-Home made
fireless cookers will be constructed
by the women in four counties in the
state of Maine during the next two
months. This work will be in the
nature of a campaign as the women
Of each county are endeavoring to
see how many cookers can be made.
The counties involved are Cum
berland, Kennebec, Somerset and
York. Every town and community
in each Of these will take part in the
work which is being conducted by
the extension service of the college
Of agriculture and the county farm
bureaus cooperating.
Last year this work was carried on
in these same counties with the ad-
dition of Piscataquis. More than
400 fireless cookers were made while
1926 were found who were interested
In the work and expressed their in
tention of constructing one. Since
1919, nearly 500 fireless cookers have
been made in these five counties.
The women procure the material
with which to make the article at q
low cost. They are then given ex-
PLIGHT directions as to how to con-
struct a fireless cooker. Later If
they desire assistance in the actual
construction it can be obtained from
women who have made the cooker.
from the project leader Of the local
farm bureau or from the home de-
monstration agent in that county.
One meeting will be held in each
community in each county in the
month of May at which women may
bring the material and receive the
help and advice of the home demon
stration agent.
This phase of extension work in
home economics is one of the most
popular as practically every woman
recognizes the fireless cooker as a
great household convenience and Ia
Dor saving. BY each community
pooling its order for materials and by
the women making them themselves
the cost is very low. The simplest
form Of cooker which is the most
popular in most communities costs
only three or four dollars to make
and can be used In a variety Of
ways.
Beginning the first of April the
women conducting the campaign In
each community will enroll all wo-
men interested in making the cook
er for themselves. AS soon as this
is done the materials will be secured
and the active work of construction
begun. The meetings in May will be
to attract more women and at the
same time assist those already max
ing cookers.

A petition for the pardon of Henry
n. Clement of Lewiston. who is serv-
ing a sentence of four months in the
Ar1droscoggin county Jail for having
intoxicating liquor in his possession,
was received Tuesday at the depart
ment of state.
Clement was committed February II

In his petition for pardon Clement
states that he is sick and weak and
suffering from tuberculosis; that the
hoard of health of Lewiston has or
dered him to the st. Marie General hos
rital until suitable place shall be
found in a sanatoriunn for proper
treatment: that after proper treatment
and possible recovery from his present
sick condition it would be detrimental
to his health if he should be returned
to confinement in Jail; and that he has
never before been convicted of the vio-
lation of airy liquor laws and hgrees
never to violate the liquor laws here
after.
