been carried on until a noticeable diff
ference is already seen in the ap-
pearance of the homes in these
towns and in several places special
programs have been ~~canged and
carried out.
At Pressure Isle a big public meet
ing was held with a fine speech by
Rev. j. A. Hayes who dealt with the
aims of the organization. Later the

founded early in July, 1916, and in
the brief space of ten years has be-
come the largest commercial school
In the State-more than 26O students
having been enrolled during the
school year ending June 25, 1926.
Ninety Maine cities and towns were
represented during this period. and
students were also admitted from
most of the New England states and
from Canada. In fact, Ontario. New
Brunswick, and Nova Scotia are al
ready represented in the long list of
students now registered for the Sep
TENDER term.
AT the time the school was started
it occupied only the top floor of the
old" Y. NJ. c. A. building on Court
street, Auburn, and although one
half of the second floor was later
utilized and new desks installed as
long as space permitted, the school
has now reached the day when IL
cannot accommodate all who wish to
enter, and has been confronted with
the necessity of either refusing ad-
mission to a large number of quail
fed students or of opening addition
al schools. The latter plan was de-
clded upon and two of the new schools
and the Auburn school will open for
the fall term on Wednesday follow
ing Labor day. The Portland school
will not be ready for occupancy I'M

not only because of the elegance of
the building which is to house the
school, but because of it's situation
at the entrance to Monument Square

Fertilizer Firms
In Giant Merger
Given Heavy Fines

BALTIMORE, pd., Dec 13 (AP)
-Thirty-six fertilizer firms, accus-
ed of violation of federal antitrust
laws, were assessed fines ranging
from $500 to $500 by Judge
Morris A. Soper, in Federal Dis
trict Court here today.
The companies had entered pleas
of nolle contendere by which, while
not admitting unlawful acts, they
declined to contest the govern
ment's charges. Inexpediency of
long drawn-out litigation with the
government at this time was cited
by the companies as prompting
their action.
The fines were in three groups
$500, $1,000 and $3,500 The
grouping was made, Judge Soper
explained, in accordance with the
financial ability and the standing
of the companies in the industry.
The companies involved in the
governments proceeding, which is
the result of a department of JUS
tice investigation, represent eighty
five percent of the annual fertiliz-
er production in the United States.

direction of City Engineer Watkins.
Following last weeks rains and
yesterdays snow the paved streets
suffered considerably with mud
carried onto the hard surface from
the side streets, making travel diff

being arranged by the city engin-

necessary, or sprinkling of the
thoroughfares in dry weather. >
