WARMING
Oil and Gas Stoves Blamed
for Recent Increase in
Number Of Alarms.

Fire Chief J. G. Sarran issued a
warning Tuesday to all those using
gas or oil stoves for heating purposes
in their homes. He declared the fire
department was receiving an increasing
number Of alarms due to accidents
with oil and gas stoves or open CRATES.
The larger portion OF these fires are
due to the carelessness of their own
ers, Chief Sarran says.
"The fire department made six
runs last Saturday within several
hours, due entirely to negligence" said
the fire chief. "This represents ire
mendous cost to the taxpayers. When
people realize they are paying for this
expense they will be more careful"
Chief Sarrnn pointed out that there
is a city ordinance against the use
of rubber tubing as a connection on
gas stoves. Improper connections are
responsible for many minor fires which
sometimes prove disastrous, he said.

GARDINER TEAM
OPENS BASEBALL
HERE WEDNESDAY

Wednesday afternoon baseball will
be given its first impetus tomorrow
afternoon when the American Le-
gion. leaders in the Augusta Twi-
light League, will clash with the
Gardiner Collegians on Williams
field at 4:10 p. NJ, sharp. The ag-
grega ton of players on the Ameri-
can Legion outfit have consistently
whaled the pill until they have be-
come the bette noir" of the hurlers
in the local sunset league this sum-
mer.
The Gardiner Collegians will bring
to this city practically the same
combination which has by good
baseball fought its way to the lead
in the Gardiner Twilight schedule.
The Wednesday afternoon half hol-
iday in The stores and shops has so
far left bunch of rabid fans with
no place to so and nothing to do, and
oft has the cry been heard for some
kind of baseball game on the field
where Ben Houser's colts have ca
vorted for the past four seasons.
The game tomorrow afternoon will
undoubtedly attract a large crowd
and will be the first of a number OF
such Wednesday afternoon contests
which will DE sponsored by the All
gusta Legionaires if the attendance
and support warrants. Besides play
ing their regularly scheduled games
in the Twilight League the Legion
management proposes to bring some
of the faster semi professional clubs
Of the state to this city to provide
entertainment on the Wednesday
half holiday and also on Saturdays.
Most of the players who will wear
the Gardiner uniform in the game
tomorrow are we'll known in this
city both for their work in tSe
Gardiner league and because OF
their collegiate diamond record. Hes
elton, former Amherst star, will he
on the receiving end of the visiting
battery. Phil Davidson (Bates) will
do the hurting, the two Cantors will
be in the lineup, NJ. Cantor in the
center garden and his brother at the
initial sack. Both these boys repre-
sented the Garnet of Bates back
along. The old favorite, Dave Kelly,
(Bowdoin) will be on the hot corner
and Hugh Petty who starred with the
u. of Nj. team few years ago will
hold down second sack. Two other
former Bates men, Phil and George
Talbot, will also strengthen the down
river combination, the former play
ing at short and George in right
field. Dolan this season playing
with the National Home nine at
Togus, will be in right field.
The Legion management which has
been instrumental in arranging the
exhibition for tomorrow afteroon, is
planning to have Williams field in
perfect condition for the contest.
The inner field will be smoothed and
surfaced and the tall grass and the
weeds in the outfield will fall before
the scythes. Just who the local war
vets will start on the mound has not
as yet been settled but the Legion
management will probably contract
for particularly strong hurler to
help them give the collegiate ball
tossers a good battle. Best Of all n
popular prize of admission should
help to augment the crowd to occupy
the stands along the first and third
base line.

Of waste in common practice
among the companys employer.
Continuing on the same subject he
said: THE large wastes are
readily discovered, but it is the
small ones that in the aggregate
amount to much more than a few
large ones and cause the most
concern"
He estimated that the waste IN
little things on his road amounted
to 100000 annually. This did not
include any outstanding instances
OF ineficiency. Some of the annual
items OF needless waste pointed out
by him were as follows: coal, ST..
0oo,o0O;. supplies, $500, 900; station.
cry, $4,000; crossties, 100000;
locomotive repairs, 100000.
Analysis Of his statement reveals
that about Z per cent Of his com.
-pany's operating expenses last year
represented waste due to lack of
thrift by employees. Inasmuch as
the system with which he is con.
nected represents about per cent
OF the gross railway mileage of the
United States. and as conditions on
the road referred to were probably
a fair average of conditions on all
lines, 1t is safe to set down the sum
OF $3.50, 100000 a year as the direct
result of lack of thrift BY en-.
ployees.
One OF the great economic prob.
lens OF the present day pertains to
transportation. In the item Of
needless expense referred to here.
with, the cure can only come
through the education of the en-.
ployees. No other efficiency system
can safeguard against the waste
here alluded to.
The business men of Amer,c.
should learn that very small per.
centage of the amount of money
wasted by thriftless emplovee.
would If spent in correct tbrift
education, bring amazingly benz.
dcial results.

How to Know Walnuts

OF the tree families represented In
North America, the Walnut family is
one of the most important Its men,
bers may well be spoken of as truly
noble trees, with no black sheep
among them, and with each produc-
ing something of value to the human
race.
The wood of these trees ranks
among the best and their fruit is edi-
BILE, writes J. S. Illick in Tree Hab-
it's" From the bark and fruit OF
some of them valuable dyestuffs are
obtained, while others yield products
used in astringent and cathartic
medicines.
Now planting time is at hand
the American Tree Association OF
Washington urges the planting OF
nut trees. and will send anyone tree
planting suggestions.
All members of the Walnut family
have alternate and compound leaves
They are unlike many other tree
groups in that one rarely finds leaf
stalks. The pollen bearing and seed
producing flowers occur separately
but are always borne on the same
tree and often on the same branch
In this respect the members Of the
Walnut family differ from those OF
the Willow family, as all of the mem
bers of the latter produce their pol
lem bearing and producing flow
ers on different trees. Another flower
feature that will help place the mem
bers of the Walnut family is that
only the pollen bearing flowers occur
in long dropping tassels, for the seed
producing flowers are not produced
in tassels like those of the Willows
and Poplars, but are solitary or in
few Powered clusters.
The fruit of each of these groups
IS nut with two protective coats.
The inner covering consists Of hard,
horny coating that may be smooth or
ridged, or prominently sculptured.
The outer covering of the Walnut is
