Rats Foster Mites

Government scientists have dIscov-
cred another reason for getting rid of
rats. 1t is a blood-sucking mite allied
with rats that is making things annoy
ing and dangerous for man In our
southern states. Certainly. when they
park on man where his clothing Is
tight. their bites are painful and their
crawling and running about annoying.
1t has bren found that the way to-
repress the mites is to kill off rats
and spray rat nests with kerosene.

Buick Roadster
And Ford Collide

A Buick roadster driven by DR.. Wild
liam ]. Young. city health officer, and
a Ford sedan driven by Daniel O'Hal-
loran figured In a collision about 1925
p. M. yesterday on Main street almost
in front of the Waterville Steam Laun-
dry building.
According to DR.. Young he was driv-
ing north on the street and he did not
understand that Mr., O'Halloran, who
was parked against the curb, was go
ing to turn around, as he did not make
any motion with his hand. When DR..
Young saw Mr.. O'Halloran starting to
turn his blew his horn and turned to
the left in an effort to go around the
sedan, but there was another car COM
ing south on Main street preventing
the doctor from getting by, so he put
on the brakes and stopped as soon as
he could. AS 1t was, the right rear
and front mudguard and the running
board were damaged and the front left
mudguard of The sedan was bent.
Mr.. O'Halloran declares that when he
saw DR.. Young coming he stopped his
car at once and that the sedan was
standing still when Dr. Young hit him.
He stated he thought DR.. Young must
have been coming pretty fast not being,
able to stop before hitting him. I

Reports Given at
Meeting w. C.. r. u.

The -Tegular monthly meeting Of the
w. c. T. U. was held yesterday after
noon at 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs.
Theresa Pottle. "A Elm street. Much
interest was shown in the reports of
those who attended the Kennebec Coun-
ty w. c. T. U. Jubilee convention at
Augusta last Friday and Saturday.
Reports were submitted by Mrs. H.
May Lawrence. Mrs. Theresa Pottle
and Miss Cora B. Lincoln. AS this
was the 50th anniversary of the found
ing of the w. C.. T. u, the convention
was of unusual interest. About five
years ago the slogan was given. "A
Million Dollars and Million Men,
bers." The money has been very
nearly raised but the union is still
urged to increase the membership. The
need of active, earnest workers was
stressed by the convention speakers
The addresses Of Mrs. Ida B. Wise
Smith of Iowa, who is national lectur-
er. were reported as very interesting
and enlightening. The next meeting of
the local union will be held June 10 at
the home of Mrs. Lawrence, 271 Main
street, and the topic at this session
will be THE Primaries"

Polish. We did not receive the roll of
papers and magazines that you have
spoken about in your letter.
We are having bad luck. All the
children are sick. Our twin baby boy
was sick all winter and the poor baby
died the other week and we buried the
Eaby with my father. And now the two
smallest children, the baby girl and my
brother five years old, are sick. Now
my mother goes often to the town,
most every Thursday.
We have received the Christmas box
1T makes a long time that we have re-
ceived it. We all enjoyed 1t. We gave
some of the candy to tate to the Polish
people because they have never tasted
any like 1T. So We all enjoyed it. And
we popped some of the corn, and we
left some for Easter to pop. We thank
you for this five dollars, because it
helped us for Easter We bought some
white flour for white bread for Easter.
Now for 81 they give 5000 marks, and
for pound of white flour 1t costs 400
marks, so we bought about 10 pounds;
so we are going to have white bread
for Easter In Poland that's all they
have to eat is black bread and pota-
toes, and even that we have no pota-
toes. 1t makes about month that we
are without potatoes. My mother
bought some barley for Easter. SO we
are now cooking it. We don't know
what We are going to do If A. will
not help us to get back to America. We
are begging him to help US if he can.
When I was in America I liked do
nestle science the best Of lessons; so
I hope they will not discontinue it. 1t
is very good lesson.
In Poland they have no postcard, so
I cannot send anything of Poland.
Yours truly,
ANNIE GEORGE.

The 200 road signs have been de-
livered to the Chamber of Com
merce and will be placed in the near
future by Roy Moore, who is well
acquainted with the roads within IS
miles of the city. This will be a good
beginning and the Chamber proposes
to place still more signs another
year until anyone happening to drive
within a radius of 25 or 80 miles of
the city cannot fail to be enlightened
as to the direction of Waterville
from the point where he is located.
On the main roads of travel these
signs will be placed farther afield.
The Chamber voted 5000 for the
Fairgrounds for the coming season
and considers the money well spent.
This is the third year that this gift
has been made and 1t always re-
ceives the enthusiastic support Of the
directors whenever the appropriation
is asked for.
