Girls on the Farm

One of the most serious problems
facing the world says the Industrial
News Bureau, is that raised in the
question, How can we keep the girls
on the farm?
It is one of the hallmarks Of civili
zation that so many girls are forced
into the big cities to seek their for
tune.
Probably no more daughters of the
farm come to misfortune in the big
cities than do the city girls or the
for living.
1t can be set down as a sound pro-
position that working girls as a
class, are more apt to make a sue
cess of life than another large class
Of girls having more social advant-
ages but seeking the bright lights.
1t is a great social duty to make
the home life on the farm more at
tractive to the girls. There should
lie more rural recreation centers
under proper supervision. If the
churches and fraternal orders could
minister to the social needs of
humanity. including the growing
young people, we would hear less of
farm girls crowding to the cities.
With good roads. cheaper motor
cars, the rural mail and telephone.
the photograph, electricity and the
radio, life is growing more attractive
on the farms.
Individual initiative, energy and
ambition. the driving force which
has built this nation, is the great
agency that is today remarking farm
life in America and making it
pleasant for both girls and boys to
stay on the farm.-Piscataqui

Teams Off Tonight
To Meet Gardiner

Two Cony basketball teams journey
to Gardiner this evening to meet their
old rivals. Gardiner High, on the bas7
ketball courts. Both teams are fairly
confident they will win. while their
Gardiner rivals are of the same opin-
ion with regard to themselves. 1t is
needless to say that all four teams
will put up the best battle Of the year.
as Cony and Gardiner always play
better against each, other than they
do against other schools.
Coach Comedian intends to take
large squads to Gardiner on the
"scoot" shortly after o'clock this
evening and it. is expected that there
will be a galaxy of Cony fans in at
are hoped for whereby a section will
be reserved for Cony supporters al
though no definite word has yet been
received on that point.
The Cony girls who are quite sure
to get into the game are Moulton,
Kinsman, Hunt and Hanks at forward
Priest, Thorne, Violette and Jackson
at guard. In addition there will be
other members Of the squad ready If
needed.
The boys will be without the serv-
ices Of Capt. Burns, who is down in
rank and consequently is not eligible

BredO Given
Sentence 2 IL Years
ThOmastOn Prison

A sentence of from two to four
years in the state prison at Thomas
ton was imposed on Frank Breedo Of
Gardiner and n sentence of from one
TO two years in the same institution
was meeted out to Lyle Harrington
also of Gardiner Thursday morning
at the kennebec Superior court after
they had pleaded nolo contendre to
a charge of larceny of Ford sedan
from c. II. Bean of Gardiner on the
night Of September 10.
These two men came up for SEN
tence Wednesday and before receiv-
ing sentence told their version of the
affair to Judge Fisher Their story
was at variance on several points
with that Of William Taylor and
George Chase who had previously
been heard with reference to the
same case and Judge Fisher decided
to withhold sentence until he could
get all four men together and sift
out the truth. State Detective Ar
hur Robinson was also called In as
HARRINGTON had cast some reflections
upon the manner in which Mr.. Rob-
inson had handled the case.
The stories of the four men as told
Thursday conceded in the main al
though there were several lesser
points at which there was some de-
Vance, namely with regard to who
first entered the garage and who had
had drinks ami where they had been
taken.
Mr.. Robinson stated that he had
looked into a matter of a break at
the store of Oscar Friedman in Au-
gusta before the larceny of the au-
tomobile and that he was satisfied
that Harrington had been RESPONSE
BILE. He had taken the matter up
with HARRINGTON and had made him
! admit it. Harrington had implicated
Breedo in the theft. This Harrington
denied when called back to the stand,
saying that he was in no way con-
nected with such n break and that
he hal not admitted that he had.
