The first half saw Arburr sink the

three field goals before taking a rest.
It was II minutes and 40 seconds
of playing time before the Stanley

the maze of defense that the Corbin
team threw up around its own bas-

some of them were close, not n sim

Historical Dates
Recorded on Rings
Of IS Year Old Pine

Important dates in the history of
the State and the nation are being
recorded in a novel manner by n
member Of the State forestry de-
partment, Inspector Bryant E. Jones,
who has secured a cross-section of
a white pine tree So years old upon
which to make such record.
The cross-section measures 81
inches in diameter and the rings in
dicating the age of the tree may be
easily traced. In 1851, the tree had
grown to 10-inch diameter at that
cross-section and upon the ring in
dicating that year, Inspector Jones
has placed a sticker showing the di-
ameter of the tree when the Civil
War opened.
Other dates recorded in a like
manner on the rings Of this cross
section Of pine are the following:
1865, surrender Of Appotomotox
court house; 1876, death penalty
abolished in Maine; 1884, prohibition
amendment adopted in Maine: 1891,
first forest commissioner appointed
in Maine; 1909. Maine forestry dis
trict established: 1914, opening of
world war. The tree had a growth
of % inches In diameter in 1914 and
grew three inches after that date
before it was cut down.

ArOOstOOk Potato
Shippers Planning to
Sell on F. O. B. Basis

Quite an effort is being made in
Aroostook county to make more
sales Of potatoes on an F. o. B. basis,
Charles M. White, chief of the divi-
sion of markets, State department
Of agriculture, reports.
In years past potatoes have been
sold on delivered basis, and in
case of a drop in market price and
rejection of the potatoes by the con-
signee, the shipper was obliged to
take the loss.
Mr.. White points out that with the
adoption of a F. o. B. sales basis,
the potatoes will be paid for on
shipment and thus lessen the num-
Der of reflections and the loss to the
shippers. In case full payment was
not made on shipment, thet shipper
would demand a portion of the pay
at that time, the remainder to be
forwarded on receipt of the ship
ment by the consignee, and II the
shipment were rejected the receiver
would lose his deposit. Shippers
have lost considerable on sales made
on the delivered basis by the rejec-
ton of shipments on very fiimsy ex-
cuses, Mr.. White declares.

Wednesday afternoon by the pupils
and visitors. The children had very
appropriate recitations for Thanks
giving. The visitors were then call
ed upon for remarks after which a
bountiful and delicious treat was
served by the teacher, Miss Doris
Overlook. The treat was of old
fashioned cornballs as large as small
pumpkins which the teacher. who
must have set up all the night be-
fore to make, allowed every body to
have all they wished. The children
did exceptionally well with their
pieces showing lot of hard work on
their part and their teachers. The
only regrets were that all the par
ents were not present to encourage
the teacher and pupils after all their
hard work in providing such an en-
tertainment. 1t should become a
habit of both parents and others to
visit the schools occasionally and
thus show their interest in our
schools.
