The trip is one of beauty, winding in and out of the valleys alongside towering snow-cap- ped peaks, round sparkling lakes and babbling streams. And the fishing is unexcelled.

lars day until
Christmas had been met by the re-
turns to the Office for the day.
"From Cushnoc Heights in the
north end of the city to Belmont
Park section next to the Hallowell
line, our letters are coming in with
the one dollar enclosures for the one
hundred seal allotment to each fam
ily."
ut is true" continued Mr.. Brown,
"that we are receiving surprising
return from the French speaking
families of the northern part of the
city and we attribute this to the ap-
probation of those citizens of the
real value of sthe Augusta Public
Health Association work, and partic-
ularly Of the program in which the
health nurse, Miss Jennie Ballantyne,
Is engaged, and which Is largely sup
ported by the money received from
the annual sale Of health seals.
The Augusta quota for 1925 is
$1,000, which is only about 10 cents
per capita, and because they realize
the significance of the success of the
campaign financially. citizens are
giving the sale splendid backing.
On Wednesday the sum of $116.25
was received for the little health
seals, which should be on every piece
of Christmas mail sent through the
Augusta post Office from now until
New Years. The campaign workers
will place more emphasis on the
sale of the health bonds during the
remainder of the campaign. and feel
that the seal sale will take care or
itself through the interest and CO.
operation of the people to whom the
letters and enclosures were mailed
and others who will by their own
initiative secure enough of the seals
to put the mark of health and cheer
on their Christmas gift packages.
This evening the personnel of the
campaign committee and the direct
ors of the Augusta Public Health
Association will hold an executive
session at the campaign headquar-
ters in the State Trust Company
building, at which time plans for the
remaining few days of the sale will
be formulated.

RENEWALS OF
LICENSES FOR
MILK DEALERS

Preparations are being made for
mailing renewal application blanks,
about Feb. Is, to all milk dealers
holding licenses. There are at pres
ent in the State, 4.673 licenses issued
good until April 1. 1925. Before that
time the law requires that all lie
enses shall be renewed ii dealers
wish to continue in business.
Upon receipts of application
blanks dealers should fill out and
return at once to the Maine Depart
ment Of Agriculture, in the return
envelope provided. Early applica-
lions means that licenses will be re-
ceived when required. Several
dealers were seriously involved last
year due to failure to apply in suf-
ficient time to receive licenses by
the first Of April. Dealers should
prevent q recurrence by applying
early this year. and the applicant
should be careful to give the exact
address to which be wishes the lie
ense mailed. A change in the appli-
cation routine provides that appli-
cations do not require the signature
