Heavy travel to the westward now
days and will be all the week. The
resort season in Maine is about over
at most points but there will be
thousands of visiting motorists COM
ing into the state for the next two
months. The big game season too
will bring many sportsmen into
Maine for a number Of weeks during
the Fall and the publicity which the
state has received through the Maine
Publicity Bureau is likely to make
the number larger than ever before.
When Maine can popularize its Win
ter sports to the degree which 1T
hopes to do eventually. there will not
be many months left in the year
when the state is not entertaining
throngs from other parts of the IN
ion.-Bath Times.
Our Dumb Animals, the publication
devoted as it's name indicates, to
animals, says in an editorial this
week:
THAT was an extraordinarily fine
thing Governor Baxter did when he
gave his beautiful white collie to the
inmates of one of Names prisons.
Only one who knows men as we'll as
dogs could have perceived the value
of such an act. Many years ago
Mr.. Angel, as result OF careful in,
quiry, discovered that of several
thousand prisoners in America only
here and there had one ever known
what it was to have pet animal.
Governor BaXter's dog living among
his new associates will awaken with
in them thoughts Of affection for the
animal world, feeling of kindness and
gentleness which otherwise might be
forever dormant. No man can as
sociate with a good dog and not be-
come the better and kindlier for 1t.
This Maine Governor has done many
fine things for which those who know
him honor him sincerely, and this
IS one Of the finest. 1t reveals the
humanitarian who thinks as well as
feels.
Secretary of the Bath Board of
trade Rufus A. Hall wrote 4 letter to
the head of a BIS apple exporting
concern in New York calling atten-
ton to the great opportunities offer
ed in this section for apple raising
and the superior quality of Maine
apples. He received the following
reply from the head of the concern:
Nobody knows Maine apples any
better than do and fully agree with
you that there are very few apples
grown anywhere in the world that
are better than some of the varieties
that grow up in Maine. However.
for us to go up in Maine and plant
our orchards would be a work that
l would have to live to be old enough
to become my own grandfather.
IF / were younger, would not be
afraid to 60 up into your neck of
the woods and plant a few hundred
acres of good commercial varieties
of apples and with proper care, l
would not hesitate to say for one
moment that l could raise as good
apples up there, as are raised any
where in the world. However, l am
afraid I will have to leave that job
for the younger generation"

BRITISH ELECTION PROVES
 BIGGEST POLITICAL UPSET
 TO OCCUR IN PAST 100 YRS.
AN7|D0Vf FAILS AND
 FIFTH VICTIM DIES II Additional Poison Gas Patients Brings the
 Total to B

New York, Oct. 30.-A fifth vic tim of the mysterious gas poisoning in the research laboratory of the Standard oil company of New Jer- sey at Bayway N. J., died in Re- construction hospital today.
 Herbert Fuson, 29 years old, of Elizabeth, was the fifth man to die. He had been near death from the inroads of the gas for more than three days.
 Despite the tireless search of phy- sicians for an antldote that would check the fatal progress of the strange poisoning, the death list has gradually Increased since Monday. The last three victims have died at about the same hour on three suc- cessive mornings. all of them be- coming violent before death.
 Fuson was the last of the first five men brought to Reconstruction hos pital. Evelen additional men suffer- ing from the strange poisoning were brought to the hospital last night, bringing the total number of men afflicted to date to 33. All the sur viving victims are still in the hos pi.al.
 That the federal government will take hand in the investigation was revealed by an announcement that experts of the bureau of mines will arrive this morning to study the na- ture of the gas and try to develop remedial methods which will avert disaster to those who have been ex- posed.

COUNTY SELLS PART
 OF REMINGTON FARM
57 Acres, Proposed Home for "Jags," to Be
 Home Sites

The man with the hoe" whose system was full of alcohol and who was expected to work 1t out of him on the Hartford county farm for inebriates in Newington, will have no place to go. It was announced today that the county commissions CTS had disposed of part of their extensive estate known as "Jagss Acres" which was purchased a few years ago as the site for a new jail and a farm for inebriates. The plot disposed of consists of 6T acres and brought ,$15,000 in cash. It was bought by Charles E. Parker of Hartford and New Haven and will be cut up into house lots.
 When John Barleycorn sat on his throne with his three court testers. Wine, Women and Song at his feet, the county commissioners believed it would be a good idea to have farm so some of Barleycorn's sub jects could engage in agriculture and renew their spirits, as well as regain their health. But Barley- corn has lost his domain and the need Of a farm for inebriates has passed. So the commissioners are disposing of the property. They still own 107 acres adjoining the plot which has been sold.

By The Associated Pres.-
 London, Oct. 50.-The people of Great Britain have put crushing end to their first experiment with a labor government by returning the conservative party to power in Par liament with one of the strongest majorities recorded during the last century.
 Tn this sweeping political change, the liberal party has sunk to the weakest position it has experienced since the realignment of British po- Iitical parties more than ninety wars ago at the time of the reform bill.
 With 545 out of the 615 seats in the House of Commons accounted for at four o'clock this afternoon, the liberals had won only 37 and the conservatives had captured 359 and were increasing their lead constant ly as the returns came in from the country districts.

 AS 'UN-AMERICAN Republican Speaker Rebukes Ez-

Addison B. Colyin, Former Trcasur- CT of New York, Declares Con- necticut Needs Someone To Run Its Banks And Finances More Than Politics.

Attacking ex-Governor Marcus II. Holcomb's speech in Southington Tuesday night, Addison R. Colyin, former state treasurer of New York, speaking at a Republican rally at the Washington street entrance of Russell & Erwin Co.,, this noon, de- clared, T have no word of harsh ness or antipathy for men who do not agree with me, and I do not agree with one of your governors when he says that any man who votes for La Toilette should be led out at sunrise and shot. That state ment does not become a man who has been entrusted with such a high public office by his fellow citizens, and it is most American" s
 He also said, that from what he had read in the papers lately, this state needed someone to run ifs banks and finances more than some one to run it's politics.
 "The present situation is unlike anything We have ever had before" " he declared, and 1t is hard for a man to decide which way he should vote.

 Reflects On Hartling's Judgment
 Calvin Coolidge was held up by MT Colvin as the man best fitted, as a man from this section, the first in years. He said that the president had had a hard fight, and had had bad men to contend with, placed in ofllce ill-advisedly by his predcces- sor'' The election of Coolidge, he continued, would ensure the con- mutation of present conditions. which Mr. Colvin said were "at least reasonably satisfactory"
 The only two men with a possible chance of election are Coolidge and Bryan. La Toilette has no more chance of being elected than any of you baye," the speaker declared.
 we don't want Bryan prjncipIes and Charles W. Bryan stands behind every principle of the brother whom the people of this country have three times rejected"
 Continuing his exhortation to vote MT Colvin called attention to past elections deicded by one vote and to the fact that one presidential elected rested on 1000 votes in New York state. He then urgd hies audience 10 De satisfied with the outcome in any case and to make the best of if

FIRE THREATENS TOWN
Picturesque Village of Siasconset, Mass, Threatened With Destruc- tion by Flames Today.

Nantucket, Mass. Oct. 30.-The picturesque village of Siasconset, where actors and artists have es- tablished a summer colony by con- verting boat houses, fish shacks and modest cottages to homes that ad- join more expensive estates, escaped destruction narrowly in a fire early today. The flames appeared in the Phillips building and ran through it, spreading to the Morris building adjoining. Sparks carried the fire then to the post office building while the volunteer fire department fought to stop it. Help went out from here and after two hours the fire men had succeeded in preventing the flames from reaching the sum mer cottages and other buildings in the business center. The total loss was about sI2,000.
