State, and although it is really to
early to forecast now. it is believed
that the harvest will be 2S,OOO,00O
or $4,000, 600 bushels this year. But
OF course a great many things may
happen to the potato crop. as for
instance, long period of rain may
produce q blight unless the greatest
OF care Ia exercised.
But there will be a bumper ap-
PIE crop in the State of Maine this
season, the best since 1921, when ap-
proximately 100000 barrels of COM
mercia1 apples were harvested. Last
year 425,OOO barrels of apples were
picked and 1t would not be surpris-
ing IL the number this year would
be half million barrels. The Bald
win used to be the leading apple as
regards the production, but a bad
winter a few years ago killed many
of the Baldwin trees. The Northern
Spy has taken the place of the Bald
win in the amount of barrels har-
vested, but the Mcintosh Red is be-
coming more popular from an eat
ing. standpoint and brings better re-
suits.
THE crop Of blueberries this year
will be smaller than usual, for it
was pretty dry in the best part of the
growing season. but the rains of late
OF course have helped in the pro-
duction. Last year 5000 bushels
of blueberries were canned in Wash
ington county, where most of the
berries for commercial use are pick
ed, but this year THERE will be a fall
ing off of about a quparter of that
amount.
Reports indicate that there was
a fair crop of Strawberries the pres
ent season."

Find Non-Residents
Are Fishing Under
A Resident License

The Department Of Inland Fisher
les and Game has received complaint
that, several non-residents are fishing
in Maine at the present time under
Maine licenses which said licensees
are alleged to have secured by going
to q town or city clerk in the State
and claiming to be a resident or
some other town or city In the state.
The clerks evidently-without inves-
tigating the matter personally-simp-
ly taking the applicants say-so-and
believing them to be bona fide resi-
dents of Maine-have issued to the
parties the 25c or resident license.
Az fast a. testimony is secured In
each case Il IL understood that &C
ton as provided by law will be taken
In each case.
The law upon this subject reads
"Section 70, Of the Inland Fish and
Game Laws (Chapter 219. P. L. 1917,
as amended by Chapter 1876. Public
Laws Of 1870:
II any applicant for any kind Of
license, certificate or permit provld-
ed for in this chapter. or amendments
thereof, makes a false statement IN
order to secure such license ceru.
ficate or permit, he shall be subject
to a penalty Of $4,000 and costs for
each offense and in addition thereto
be Imprisoned not exceeding three
months"
Under the law. the resident hunt
ers' and fishermen's registration GER
tificates can be issued by town or
city clerks only to bona fide resi-
dents Of their own towns or cities.
II the city clerk Of Portland. for
instance, issued q license to a resi-
dent of Bangor. said license. it is
ruled, would be absolutely no pro-
lection to the licensee, as it was not
issued in accordance with law.
The town, city and plantation
clerks are again being warned by the
department to see that no one but a
bona flde resident of their own town,
city or plantation is issued the resi-
dent hunters and fisherman's license.
Many of the town clerks are agents
of the department for the non-resi-
dent (out Of the State) licenses and
of course can issue those to residents
of any State who may apply for
them. The ruling above mentioned
applies simply to the issuance Of the
resident citizen 25c hunters and
fishermen's registration certificates.

Washburn Predicts
Bumper Apple Crop
This Year in Maine

Commissioner of Agriculture
Frank p. washburn in statement
Tuesday on the general crop situa-
ton declared that farmers are con-
stantly giving more attention to the
packing, grading and quality Of pro-
duct sent to market.
''And this is a very hopeful sign,
continued Commissioner Washburn.
1.-THE indications are that this year
Will be aS good for the farmer and
producer as In 1925 and last year
was an Improvement over 1922, es-
pecially for the potato men.
'The weather IL now very favor
able for the sweet corn crop which
started poorly on account of the cold
spring. The crop ought to be a
little larger this year as was more
was PLANTED than last season. In
fact, Il looks real encouraging from
the sweet corn standpoint. Last
year 5000 tons Of sweet corn were
used for canning purposes. and 1t
looks az well and possibly better
this year.
about half of the hay crop in
the State has been harvested. From
reports and observations it would
seem that the harvest this year
would be about so per cent of that
Of last year. The crop last year
amounted to 100000 tons.
Potatoes are getting along well.
although they started slowly like the
sweet corn. because OF the cold
weather earlier in the season. Last
year approximately 81 600, 900 BUSH
els OF potatoes were raised In the

HartheIress Again In Modern Roll

6artheImess Again In Modern Role
Patrons of the Colonial theatre
will see Richard Barthelmess in a
modern role for the first time in a
year, when "Twenty-One," a First
National attraction, will be shown.
Dick portrays the leading role and
he is surrounded by a cast headed
by Dorothy Mackaill who again ap-
pears opposite him and others of
Importance including Bradley Bar
ker, Joe King, Dorothy Cumming,
Elsie Lawson, Ivan Simpson, Nellie
Parker Spaulding and Helen Tracy.
John S. Robertson directed the pro-
duction.
The story of Twenty One" deals
with the struggles of a youth whose
parents have permitted him to grow
up according to their whim and not
according to his wishes. He is the
spoilt darling of his society-l loving
mother and when he meets the
factory girl with whom he falls in
love, he rebels against the circum-
stances and drops his mothers fast
crowd for her company. He gets
into a scrap on her account and is
licked by his father who threatens
to have him arrested as an incor-
rigible,
But he turns the tables on his par
ents by running away from home

Camden Man Asks
For Pardon on
Liquor Charge

Daniel Sobel of Camden has filed
a petition at the State Department
in which he asks for a pardon from
the sentence of the Supreme Court
at which he was found guilty of IL
legal keeping of Intoxicating liquors
with intent to sell.
The petition alleges that at the
January term of the Supreme Judi
cial court of Knox county he was
found guilty on the above charge, on
a complaint and a warrant for search
and seizure. He was fined 800 and
costs and was sentenced to serve so
days III Jail.
The petitioner declares that the
verdict was wrong and obtained
through a combination of circum-
stances which he could not explain
to court of law, and that he was
unjustly convicted and that to serve
Jail sentence would be of irrepar-
able injury to himself an dto his bust
ness.

ENTERTAINING BELFAST
TODAY
Downie's Marvellous Elephants, With
Their Trainer as Rinsmaster,
Prove Strong Attraction.


Prove Strong Attraction.
AS a courtesy to E. F. Albee. An
drew Downie, proprietor of the Wal
ter Main Big Show, a circus organic
alton well known to folk all over the
country, acted as ringmaster and di-
rector of his own collection Of per-
forming elephants, ponies and dogs
at B. F. Keith's Hippodrome yester-
day. And in doing so this expert of
the sawdust arena fulfilled an extra
service in introducing to the patrons
of this colossal and popular struc-
ture Of innovations one of the best.
If not the greatest, herd of pachy-
derms seen hereabouts in many
moons.
The animals are not what the most
charitable person would call in the
lightweight class. Yet all they ac-
complished was done with a gentle
ness of spirit and with so much
speed as to make the work Of other
elephants appear cumbersome and
clumsy in comparison.
These quadrupeds bowl, hop on one
leg, jazz and offer their conception
of the "shimmey," a bit that was
near the real thing as the quivering
of it's huge bulk could interpret. Mr.
Downie and his wonderful charges
are only going to remain few weeks
before joining the circus. So we ad-
wise Hippodrome fans to get busy
before it is too late.-New York

The Public Utilities Commission
gave q hearing Tuesday on the Pc
tition Of the Aroostook Valley Rail-
road Company to construct an cleo
tric line from New Sweden Station
in the township Of New Sweden.
through parts Of the township OF
New Sweden, Township 16, Range 4,
the whole of Township II. Range a.
and part of st. Agatha to st. Ag,,,
atha, a distance OF u miles. all
located in Aroostook county.
Charles L. Andrews and Thomas
Leigh Of Augusta appeared as coun-
sci for the petitioners.
The petitioners claimed that THIS
road will develop a country wnicn
abounds In rich potato land put
which IL too far away from the mar
ket to make the raising Of potatoes
profitable. II this road were con-
structed, there would be an era Oh
prosperity to this little community
and saw mills would be erected wnlcn
would not be done under the presen'
conditions on account OF the mac
cessibility of this region because OF
fine lack of railroad facilities.
The petitioners also argued that
public convenience and necessity re-
ouire the construction Of this ROAD:
Arthur r. Gould Of Pressure lsle'
president, E. l.. Crandall Of Presque
isle. superintendent, and Major "
w. Dingwall of Pressure Isle, engi-
neer. respectively, Of the Aroostook

emit at the hearing in behalf OF the
petitioners, as were Fred c. Knowles

George Dugal, B. s. -Dufour ana j.

Ouellette, Cr.. Of Sinclair and }. II
Sylvan Of Cleveland.
The petition was opposed by Henry
;. Hart of Bangor, general counse
for the Bangor & AroostooK f'air
road.
Attorney Hart argued that the new
road would parallel the Bangor q
Aroostook for nine miles, that the
project would take away bushes:
| from the Bangor & Aroostook ane
other roads, that there was no neces'
sity for the new road and that busl'
ness does not justify the construc
ton Of the road.

disturbing the birds in their haunts
In my strolls through the woods
