Stations to Assist
u. S. Weather Bureau

The Maine Forestry Department
Ut the recommendation of the
Northeastern Forest Research Coun-
Gil, has just completed arrangements
and set up the apparatus for two
stations which will work in cooper

uated at Ashland in Northern Aroos-
took county and the other at the
headquarters of the chief warden
just over the Maine boundary at
Daaquam, Province of Quebec.
To aid in checking the forecasts
from these stations, several chief
wardens from each watershed are
sending weekly weather reports to
the federal weather bureau at Bos-
ton.
The object of these stations is to
make it possible through added data
to forecast the weather more accu-
rately and for more specific regions.
This will aid materially in the work

have One BAD INNING
and PASCO Wins

The White Bluffs ball team had one
bad inning last Sunday at Pasco but
that one was their undoing. For six
innings they played high class ball.
Swanson's control was almost per-
him gilt edge support the prospects
of White Bluffs stopping the fast
Pasco club looked rosy. White Bluffs
scored two in the second, another in
the fourth and still another in the
fifth and the score at the end of the
sixth inning stood White Bluffs 4,
Pasco O. With a man on first in the
seventh, the batter hit one down the
third base line that Morford handled
and pegged to Zerwekh at second for
a made to order double play. Ter
wekh dropped the throw and the bal
loon started up. Hits and errors fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession
and before the Pasco rally could be
stopped nine runs had crossed the
plate. That is all they got for Swan
son held them in check in the eighth
and ninth.
Swanson got IS strike-outs and did
not walk a man all day, which is a
much better record than any of the
pitchers on any of the other clubs
have been able to make this season
against the Pasco club, which pos
sesses a number of seasoned hitters
The Pasco pitcher was bearing
down all through the game and White
Bluffs was unable to score after the
fifth. The final score was Pasco 9,
White Bluffs 4.
r. S. Dimond was unable to ac-
company the team Sunday and Hedge
Swanson was pulled in from the field
to play first and barring one lapse
of memory, played the bag very &C
ceptably. 1t had been planned to take
Dale Atwood Sunday but he found
out at the last minute that he could
not 60. Had he gone he would prob
ably have relieved Swanson in the
seventh for he had been showing up
we'll in the practices during the week.
He expects to be in uniform next
Sunday when the local club plays
Connell at White Bluffs and may
work at least part of the game.
After two weeks unexpected de-
lay, Barlow Montgomery left Tues
day for Pomeroy, where he will work
for the P. P. & L. Co. Manager Hen
~ Kirby says that Rod Knaub will
take Bart's place behind the bat, Di-
mond will play short while Hedge
Swanson will hold down first. This
lineup of the infield will hold until
about the middle of this month when
Paul Austin returns from college
when he will play short and Dimond
will go back to first.
There is no question about the all
around improvement of the local club
This is due in a large measure to the
work outs they have had between
games. All of the boys are hitting bet
ter and their team work is getting
smoother with each game. They ex-
pect to wirf from Council next Sun
day and they would like good crowd
of rooters out to cheer them on.

BABY CLINIC A SUCCESS

A most successful Child Health
Conference was held in White Blufts
at the Presbyterian church Tuesday,
May 5th. In fact, DR.. Spaulding
said that there were more worth
while cases than in any clinic he
had conducted so far.
DR.. Spaulding, county health Off
Ger, assisted by Miss Monica Weber,
county nurse, Miss Gertrude Gage,
and Mrs. J. Earl Thornton, gave
thorough physical examinations to
3s pre-school children. Miss Gage
discussed diet and food habits with
mothers who wanted that informa-
ton and DR.. Spaulding gave great
many valuable recommendation tor
medical treatment.
The babies were not all perfect,
but there were many particularly
fine children between the ages of
three weeks and ten months. There
were also number of perfectly nor
NAL older children. Among the de-
fects found there were some which
the parents were glad to learn about
while the children were young and
corrective measures might be taken.
This year there were not many bad
tonsils. Several cases of delayed
dentition and soft muscles were not
ed, cod liver oil being recommended
to help correct the. condition. Four
or FIVE cases of heart murmur are
of particular interest, as in every
case it was thought that this was
due to whooping cough. This con-
/ dition, with The two cases of threat
ened tuberculosis of last year, should
show seriousness of whooping cough.
A few cases of mild ricketts, and
poor bone development from i'm
proper food showed there was some
thing to learn about how to feed
little children. However, DR.. Spauld-
ing said, the mothers were particular
ly intelligent in the matter Of diet
and anxious to learn and were also
appreciative of the help that was
offered.
In only one case were the rec
concentrations made at last years
clinic not carried out during the
year. Another of the helpers was
heard to remark that these children
were especially well behaved and
that it was a pleasure to work with
them.
DIR. Hills visited the clinic and is
greatly interested in this work so
he will be help in raising the
physical standard among the child
rem.
The people of White Bluffs as a
whole showed ever so much interest
in the clinic and with this growing
interest good must surely come of
the work sponsored by our govern
ment.

hall was beautifully decorated with
large bowls Of iris, jars of the
graceful sprays of spirea and tam

blue and lavender lupine. To add
to the decoration, a group of pic.

DIVIDEND ENVELOPES

Red envelopes bearing checks from
the Pacific Power & Light Company
were received through the mail on
May l by hundreds of people in this
part of the State. The money was the
regular dividend paid by the Company
every three months to its preferred
stockholders. These dividends amount
to per cent a year on each dollar
invested.
Many of those to whom checks
were mailed are new investors and
realized for the first time the advan-
tage of placing money where it earns
more money. 1t is believed that the
Pacific Power & Light Company in
its sale of Preferred stock has taught
the benefits of investment to hum
dreds. Others who received checks,
however. have owned shares Of this
stock since it was first issued and
have always received their dividends
every three months.
