 For some weeks it has been no- ticed that the north end of Livery street was being more frequently used than at any time since the back street thoroughfare was laid out. The stream of automobiles were seen entering the street, coming to a stop near the rear of the Martello home remaining q short while, and driving away again. The scene denoted busi- nsss activities of some sort, at feast this is what the officers thought, and he raid staged Saturday evening prov. ed that they were good guessers.
 Although the alleged owner of the various brands of intoxicants has not been located the liquors are locked up and hearing against them will be held in the city court, Wednesday morning, April i5. to determine fl they are a nuisance and therefore to be destroyed Possibly someone will come forward to claim them but no one anticipates such an appearance.

Five Guests All at Once. Strain Ca
 p.city of the Cslsboose

The pressure of business at the police station one evening this week, when three drunks and two tramps were guests of the city at the same time, necesitated the use of "doubl- ing up" plan in housing the two ho. bos. A male quartet. made up of two inebriates and two who were listed as guests of the city. or lodg- CTS, were all set for the night. when third drunk was brought in. The number of cells at the police station is about equivalent to the number of regular officers, and in order to house ali the visitors. and at the same time have one cell in case an emergency occurred. a little strategy was nee essary.
 IL was desirable. almost essential, that for each drunk there should be one cell. This was arranged and carried out. Then there remained two guests and only one cage. The two shared this same coop for the reat of the night, one with his feet pointing east and in fairly close prox imitv to the face of his companion and the other with his pedal cxtremi ties turned toward the west, in muci the same manner as well-knowf line of sea food is canned.

White Grub Outbreak
At State Forest Nursery

H. B. Peirson, State forest ento-

Orono, where control measures have
been started against serious out
break of white grubs in the State
forest nursery. From counts made
by the students there was an aver
age Of approximately 400 grubs per
square yard, and thousands Of trees
have already been destroyed.
The nursery is being treated with
carbon bisulfid. this being a liquid
which turns into a heavy poisonous
gas and penetrateS the soil, killing
the grubs.
Another forest nursery. in York
county, suffered severely from a SINH
lar attack this spring and there the
grubs are being controlled by the use
of crude white arsenic which Is
mixed with the soil. This is a very
strong poison which is absolutely
harmless to plant growth but quick
ly destroys the grubs.

Believing that old vouchers could
NOT legally be disposed of, Auditor
Havford some time ago wrote letters
to officials Of a number Of other states
to find out If the vouchers of those
states are kept from years ago. The
answer from the officials of these
states was the same-that the vouch-
