OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The annual meeting of the Sauk
Centre Community Club, Thursday
evening of last week, disclosed the
fact that there are 141 members in
good standing for the year 1925.
This is about fifty short Of the 1924
membership. There were about ten
new members added to the list and it
is expected that practically all of
those who were members in 1924 will
continue their membership this year,
because the club is a decidedly live
and going concern. After the read
ing of the minutes of the previous
meeting President w. A. Moore gave
an interesting resume of the activi-
ties of the Community Club covering
a. two year period. This report SO
completely sets forth the things ac-
complished by the Sank Centre Com
munity Club in modest way that
the Herald publishes it herewith in
full:
Members of the Community Club:
I have, very little to say, for the
reason that the plans and purpose of
the management has been, to try at
least to let the different sections and
committees, tell you of the work and
progress, which they will soon be
called upon to do, and then let you
use your own judgment whether or
not your Community Club has gone
forward or backward during its exist
ence.
Our business tonight is the sum-
ming up of the year of 1924, but
really it is the accomplishments ano
the result of the work during the
years 1923 and 1924, which really
count. 1t was in Jan. 1923 that our
Community Club saw the light of day,
At that time to all those who have eyes
to see and ears to hear, it seemed
impossible to believe that the :, many
things which were thought of, or
talked or, or wished for, are now rea-
lizations in our city and surrounding
country. However, the facts remain

Harry F. Schmidt, local manager
OF Swift & Company, appeared before
the gathering and urged that the AS
ISOLATION take some action on Swift

buttermilk. Mr.. Schmidt stated that
his company could use from 5000 to
$500 gallons per week for which
they were willing to pay &c per gal

sition created considerable discus
sion. 1t was necessary for Swift &
Company to have the buttermilk as
they wanted it and when they want
ed it. There seemed to be strong
sentiment that if Swift & Company
were supplied there would be seasons
OF the year when there would not be
ample buttermilk for the needs of
the stockholders and patrons of the
creamery. The matter was finally
put to a vote and Swift & Company's,
proposition was defeated by 81 to

for this work but at Mondays meet

the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing the
publication of the list. After hear
ing many arguments for and against
the continuance of this plan it was de-
cided to continue to have the list pub
lished by IS to SO vote.

1t was also voted that no butter

Says Earthquake
Started in Fault"
Under Gulf of Maine

New YORK, March 1.-SClcntlSlS III
many cities and in several lands to-
day were endeavoring to find the point
of origin of the earthquake which last
evening shook the northeastern quar-
ter OF the United States and eastern
canada.
Seismic experts in the area affected
found their data rather difficult to in
ie-pret but their preliminary observa-
tons tended to indicate that the dis
tlrbance started In the region of the
Great Lakes, perhaps near the mouth
of the Saguenay River in the province
of Quebec.
Father Tondorf, who has charge of
the five seismographs at Georgetown
University, estimated that the quake
centered about $50 miles from Wash
ington and that it's epicentral point
was in the lake district.
Bearing out this approximation was
the report of the Dominion observa-
tory at ottawa, which, however. def
nitely placed the point of origin at the
Saguenay mouth. Father J. S. OCon-
nor. professor of physics at Fordham
University. was not yet able to form a
final conclusion, but he thought it
highly probable" that the Canadian
scientists deductions were correst.
Meanwhile. several other opinions
as to the cpicentral point were Of
fered. The oxford University cabled
that unofficial reckonings put the
dred miles distant from New York,
probably near Washington"
Other reports variously asserted
that the center of the disturbance
was in southern Pennsylvania, the
West Indies. the mouth of the Sagi-
nav River in Michigan.
Tending to substantiate the opin-
ion that the approximately correct
point was the lower St. Lawrence
basin We're the assertions of several
experts that the tremors had fol-
lowed the line of Logan's Fault, a
great fracture in the earth's crust
which occurred ages ago. This for
nation. it was explained, begins at
the mouth of the St. Lawrence, ex-
tending to Montreal. and thence
down the Appalachian range as far
as Alabama. Last nights tremors
were probably caused by subter-
ranean slipping of rocks along the
fault.
Saturday evenings shocks appar-
emily stopped at the Mississippi
river. They were recorded on a seis-
mograph in Denver. and at the gov
eminent observatory at Victoria. b.
c.. but the tremors We're not felt in
the prairie provinces of Canada.
Dr. ID. w. Johnson. professor OF
photography at Columbus Univer-
sity, today advanced the theory that
the earthquake originated in
fault" under the gulf of Maine.
AS located by DR.. Johnson. this
fracture in the rockbottom under the
sea is about $50 miles long, extending
from the head of the Bay of Funday
south to the coast of Massachusetts.
He said the fact that the tremors
We're apparently most violent at Bos-
ton and Nantucket, Mass, bore out
this theory.

Send Photographs
Over Telephone
Wires 5000 Miles

Washington. March 1-Transmis-
sion of photographs over telephone
wires $500 miles long simultaneously
to three cities was tested here to-
day by the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company. and was de-
clared by officials to have been a
complete success.
1t was the first time such trans
mission of photographs had been at
tempted to more than one city at
once and over so great a distance.
Nearly a dozen pictures were sent
to New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, only seven minutes being
required for each print. Officials Of
the company here were in touch by
with their offices in the
three cities and were told that the
experiment was without a hitch.
The demonstrations was arranged

One of the pictures transmitted to-
day was of President and Mrs. Cool

morning from the First Congrega-
tional church. Within seven minutes
after the negative was placed on the
transmitting machine. the picture
was available for public in New

Winthrop School
Ranks Among First
In Bankers Assn
Especial to kennebec JournaD

Winthrop. March 1.-The annual
report of the principal of the Win
throp grammar school. Mr.. Joseph
Jordan. contains some interesting in
formation in regard to the school
bank. He says:
"One year ago last November we
established our school bank. Our
work is recorded with the American
Bankers Association and we rank
among the first in percent of savers
in our class in the United States,
with a score of 81 6-10 percent. We
led all the schools of this state in
percent of enrolled pupils as depos-
itorS and also net savings per de-
positor.
This year has determined whether
the bank was a fad or not. If last
years record was due to the novelty
of the idea, the depositors would
gradually die out, but on the con-
trary, business has increased and in
20 weeks the deposits have amounted
to over 500 with only $12 withdrawn.
Much of the continued interest in
the school bank throughout this
year is due to the contests which
have been conducted from time to
time in the various grades. One of
the most effective was the Star con-
test i'll the two upper rooms, where
blue stars were warded for all. de-
posits less than one dollar, and gold
stars for dollar deposits.
Little Miss Helen Abelli. pupil
in the sixth grade led all four grades
in gold stars won having II to her
credit in less than a month. Roscoe
Harris was second in this grade with

grade were 81 blue and "a gold stars
John NedZa won the honors in the
seventh grade with 40 blue and 10
gold stars and Harrison Woodman
was second with 40 blue and gold
The grae won 155 blue stars and
10 gold ones.
The contest is still running in the
eighth and ninth grades. with Lionel
Auclair. Robert Fleury, Richard
Laughlin. Paul Holmes. Barbara
Howard and Cerleton Roberts among
the leaders. The months transfers
to the Augusta Trust Co. amounted
to s2SS.os from 1877 depositors. 10 of
whom had never before had bank
account.
In speaking of the record of the
bank. in regard to which he Is very
enthusiastic, Mr.. Wiswell of the Au-
gusta Trust Co, states that very
few of the young people who started
In the School Bank last year, and
left the school by graduation in June
have Withdrawn accounts, but most
of them have continued to add to
their savings. He believes that the
boys and girls are establishing hab-
its of thrift of inestimable value and
that through the school banks,
thrifty generation is being brought
up.
The total record of the grammar
school bank last year was a little
over $1,000 and this record will I'M
doubtedly be duplicate this year.
Fernan DeBlois is cashier of the
school bank this year with Helen

Another Quake
Not Likely for
Period $3.50 Years

Washington, March 1.--WhiIe 'less-
err shocks as ''probahle' in the region
shaken by last nights earthquake,
Father Tondorf, the Georgetown Uni
Versity seismologist. said tonight no
disturbance Of such pronounced in
tensity was to be expected. None was
recorded tonight.
Last nights disturbance, he esti-
mated after careful study of his five
seismographs, centered about $40
miles from Washington, and it's "cpi-
central point" was somewhere in the
vicinity Of the Great Lakes. with the
"break' possibly at depth of 10
miles.
The nature of the stresses which
brought about the fracture of the line
Of weakness in the earths crust. Ffth-
er Torndof said, could hardly be ascer-
tanned until seismologists have def
nitely ascertained the center From
geological knowledge of the locality,
an attempt might be made then to de-
termine the immediate cause.
The earthquake was one of the most
pronounced that has ever taken place
in the United States. Father Tondorf
declared, adding that another equally
heavy one is not considered likely for
So or 60 years.
THE earthquake, in the category of
quakes. may easily rank with any in
the history OF the United States, with
the possible exception of the notable
quake in 1S11-13." he said.
The 1S11-13 disturbance, known as
the quake of New Madrid in the Mis-
sissipp valley. he explained. was felt
over an area approXimating $1,000
square miles and Arkansas and Ohio
were very severely shaken.
While quakes otter are rated in the
terms of the damage caused, he added.
it should be remembered that most OF
the damage is only indirectly attribut-
able to them, being due chiefly to fire.
Citing the Japanese disaster in Sep
TENDER. 1928. Father Tondorf, whose
observations gave the world the first
hint cr such a disturbance. said the
official report Of the imperial earth
quake investigation committee stated
that IS per cent. OF the loss of life
and destruction of buildings was
caused By fire.
