regular visitors who reside in Phila-
delphia and New York pertain more
particularly to non-plug fishing laws.
The writer Of the first letter ex-
presses his satisfaction at the work
the commission has performed in i'm
proving the attractiveness of the State
as summer playground by making
the fishing conditions so much better.
He declares that trout fishing has per-
ceptibly improved and that since plug
fishing was forbidden he has seen no
violations of the law. He ventures the
prediction that if the State of Maine
would eXpend an extra half million
dollars per year In restocking the
streams and lakes with game fish that
the money would come back tcn-fold
as the reputation of the State for a
great fishing resort would be so en-
danced that thousands would flock to
the State for that very purpose.
The other fisherman declares that In
Rangeley Lakes and adjacent waters
since plug fishing has been stopped
the fly fishing has greatly improved.

To Determine If
ArOOstOOk Senator
Has Found Apple to
Replace the Baldwin

Search has been made for conSld =
cradle time for Maine apple to take
the place OF the Baldwin, and of1ic-
ials Of the state department of agri-
culture are now wondering if this
apple has been found by State SEN
ator c. II. Wilson of Pressure Isle.
About ] years ago when Senator
Allen was digging up a piece of land
on his farm, preparing it for hen
yard, he discovered a small shoot of
an apple tree coming up. The leaves
were so healthy that he trimmed it
up and allowed it to grow. Last year
this tree produced quite a respectable
crop of very palatable apples. They
were of a peculiar color-a bright
yellow ground splashed with deep
red, giving them very attractive
appearance. The size is about the
same as the Baldwin.
1t is believed that Senator Wilson's
chance Seeding may solve the prob
lem of securing an apple that has
the fine qualities of the Baldwin and
yet proves more hardy. From the
fact that many Baldwin trees in the
state were winter-killei during the
winters of 1906-07 and 1917-19, ORCH
ardists hesitate to plant their orch
mess of the tree discovered by Sem
3tor Wilson is proved in the fact that
it has stood for II winters in a place
where the thermometer runs as low
as so degrees below zero.
Next Spring. Senator Wilson is 60
ing to send some scions of the tree
to State Horticulturist G. A. Yeaton,
who is going to test them out and see
what the result will be under favor
able conditions.
Mr.. Yeaton suggests that until
they are sure of something better
than the Baldwin. orchardists should
not think of condemning it, for buy
ers never come to the sellers and say
they have too many Baldwins on
hand. The Baldwins always bring
the top prices. The substitute must
be more hardy product, Yet one
that is as good a market product DIS
the Baldwin.

Mary Pickford Wears Nearly Ton Of
CIofbac

If all the costumes worn by Mary
Pickford in her current United
Artists attraction. dorothy Vernon
of Haddon Hail." were weighed at
once, they would Tip the BEAM at a
quarter Of ton, according to let
ter received from the Pickford- Fair
banks studies by the Colonial
Theatre.
Miss Pickford wore thirteen
costumes of the Elizabethan period
while making the picture, the let
ter stated. and each dress was
heavily beaded and brocaded, some
OF them requiring several Weighty
pctticoats besides.
Imagine Il young girl of today
being married in Il bridal gown
which weighed fifty pounds. yet
the wedding gown worn by Miss
Pickford as Dorothy Vernon weighs
cd that much, and she not only had
to don it once, but several times,
and certain of the scenes had to be
taken three, four and even five
times, which required hours of
walking and standing"
The principals of the cast, not
counting Miss Pickford. had ninety
changes of costume. the total weight
of which was ton and a half!
All told 1000 costumes were used
in this picture. which takes into ac-
count the CARDS of peasants, ladies'
inwaiting. couriers, soldiers. court
attaches. servants, etc. The COM
hined weight of all the costumes is
estimated by Mitchell Leisen, who
designed them, to be more than
seventeen tons. :.

The closing session of the board of relief for this year will be held tomorrow with that commission in session from to o'clock in the afternoon, and from 7:50 to o'clock in the evening. The report will show fewer appeals than have ever be- fore been received.

On March 2t they will meet with tho board of as- scSSorS and file their rCCommcnda- lions. It is within the power of the board of relief either to increase or reduce assessments.
