Company has been notified of the rul-
ing, which is a very important one
covering automobile insurance.
Retailers of Chrysler automobiles
who are unlicensed as insurance
agents are violating, knowingly or
unknowingly, the resident agent law
of Maine as enunciated in Section 121
of Chapter SO of the Revised Statu-
tes," says Commissioner Spencer In
his ruling.
This enactment states that If any
person solicits, receives or forwards
any risk or application for insurance
to any company, without first recelv-
ing such license, or fraudulently as
sumes to be an agent and thus pro-
cures risks and receives money for
premiums, he shall be punished by a
fine not exceeding 5000, or imprison-
ment not exceeding go days for each
offence, continues commissioner
Spencer.
Every person who retails a
Chrysler automobile in Maine under
the terms and instructions of the
company in the sale and insurance
plan proposed by the company so
licits, receives and forwards risk
and 'procures risks and receives
money for premiums which are In
themselves five distinct violations of
the resident agency insurance law OF
Maine. If automobile dealers can
evade the restrictions of the law by
this method a dealer in any other
commodity can do likewise.
Further, the statute states explic-
lilly that whoever fraudulently as
sumes to be an agent for insurance
shall be personally liable for all con-
tracts
This liability would be an ade-
quate deterrent factor with respon-
sible dealers who by such sales make
themselves personally liable for such
obligations of foreign insurance
company to an unlimited extent.

department has any legal right as a
retailer of automobiles to consum-
mate any sales agreement of the
Chrysler type in Maine since, he vio-
lates Section 129 Of Chapter So of the
Revised statutes.

an inducement to take an insurance

is the statement of Z. l.. Newdick,
chief, Division Plant Industry, De-
partment of Agriculture, who re-
turned Friday from an Aroostook
trip.
I'm the 10 seasons that l have
worked In the county, l have never
seen such a heavy blossom as there
is this year.
1.-THE general condition of the po-
tato market in the northeastern part
of the country encourages the
Aroostook farmer to believe that he
stands a fair chance of getting a
good price for his crop. AS a mat
ter of fact, the spirit of optimism
prevails in Aroostook county.
1.-The principal thought at this
time, howefer, should be to produce
a good crop to meet what looks like
a favorable market. Every spray
ing machine in the State Of Maine
should be operating overtime in or
der to keep the vines protected from
Late Blight, or what is more COM
monty called Rust The large num-
Der of showers which we have had
and the lack of sunshine are ideal
conditions for the growth of the
blight spores. 1t is a fact, too, that
the vines are unusually large for
this time of the season and offer
more leaf space, which is bad from
the standpoint of controlling Late
Blight. 1t is hoped that there is
sufficient spray material in the State
TO meet the demand of our farmers.
and that they will see to it that the
material is properly mixed and ap-
piled when the spray pump is work.
ing at very high pressure. The
past few years we have not had anv

become careless. If the State SDe-

pnasize one message more than an
other at the present time. it would

Confusion Yet
Over Moose Law

IN spite or the large amount of
publicity about the moose and deer
laws. as passed by the last legisla-
ture, the Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game is still receiving in
qu1ries as to whether there will be
any open season on moose this sea-
son Con Thursday three of these in
quiries were received within an
hour or SOY.
AS has been previously stated, on
several occasions, the Legislature of
1925 continued the close time on
moose for period of four years.
The law will not expire until 1929.
AS to the deer law, the limit was
liked at one for one person in one
season. There will be no Referen-
dunn on this lava sufficient num-
Der of names not having been filed
with the Secretary of State.
The Department at this time is
calling attention to the important
change in the shore bird law made
by the 1925 Legislature. Under the
amended law, the open season on
the ducks which may be hunted,
brant, geese, coots, gallinules, jack
snipe Wilson snipe), black breasted
and golden plover, greater and less
er yellow legs, and rails, begins on
September 16th-in other words the
hunting on all these birds begins the
same day.

Bath Ferry Has
New Ticket Rules

Paul D. Sargent, chief engineer of
the State highway commission. has
sent a communication to Capt. c. w.
Dingley, superintendent of the Bath
State Ferry, stating that 1t is the
purpose of the commission to inau-
gurate on Saturday morning. August
1. a system of selling tickets for the
pa irons of the ferry at offices to be
opened in Bath and Woolwich.
This will relieve the pursers from
the responsibility of handling any
money and enable them to devote
their attention solely to the collection
of tickets. continues Mr.. Sargent's
communication.
"It is suggested that the pursers
