street plead guilty in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon to two
counts, one of maintaining gamb-
ling house and the other Of illegal
possession of intoxicants. On the
gambling charge he paid fine of
$40 and costs and on the second he
appealed the sentence of the fine of
$500 and costs and four months in
Jail and months in Jail additional
in default Of payment.
Washau. who is Polish, and speaks
TO English, had to be questioned by
an interpreter. He Is the father of
seven children. the oldest of whom
is nine years old, and because. of
this, the judge said that he would
suspend the Jail sentence on pay
ment of the fine and cost. but Wash
au appealed, regardless of the leni-
ency of the judge. Some time ago he
was in court on an Illegal possession
charge. although there was not
enough evidence to hold him.
Beside WaShau, five other men
were in court to answer to a charge
of frequenting a gambling house.
Washau's house was raided last Sat
urday night by deputy sheriffs and
gambling was found to be going on
and quantity of liquor was seized.

ced to pay fines. Their names and
sentences are: Anthony Grobisco. $50
fine and costs; Kelly George, $25 fine
and costs; Thomas Eddington. $50
fine and costs; George Waters, $50
fine and costs and John Leponovich.
500 fine and costs. They all paid.
Eddington is an old time offender
which accounts for the heavier SEN
tence.

Fred F. Lawrence of Skowhegan.
Maine bank commissioner. was the
principal speaker at the weekly
meeting of the Rotary club at the
Elmwood hotel yesterday noon. The
subject of Mr.. Lawrence's talk was

the advice that he had to give on the
subject could be summed up in the
single word, Don't" Mr.. Lawrence
thought 1t too bad that the people
had drifted away from the banks as
their investing agencies and he be-
lieved one of the chief reasons for
this was the methods used in the
Liberty loan campaigns during the
World war.
There are two fundamental rea-
sons why the man with relatively
small amount Of money is not capable
| of investing 1t prOfitably by hlmseif.
i The first reason is that the future is
so uncertain and that investment is
IAN investment in future goods. The
stock salesman can tell OLA pros

ventures to invest has only the con-
lecture by which to gauge the possl-
hiIity of high dividends. The other
reason is, that diversif1cation Is alb
solutely necessary in any safe invest
ING. 1t has proved to be impossible
FOR the man of average means to do
this. He has sufficient money and
knowledge to buy but one security at
