School Privileges
For Children of
Lighthouse Keeners

A telephone call the other day
from A. e. CHM, lighthouse-keeper
at the Mt. Desert Rock light station.
about 40 miles out to sea from Mt
Desert Island, reminded AdeIbert w.
Gordon. agent for schools in unor-
gained territory IN Maine, that it
was only few years ago that the
children of lighthouse-keepers in
Maine had no school privileges.
Under the present arrangements.
such children are boarded at the
States expense on shore where they
may attend the public schools. A
few years ago many of the light
houses were completely isolated, but
during the war telephone cables
were laid from the mainland to
most of these stations.
Mr.. Gordon said yesterday that
the number of children now receiv-
ing school privileges in this manner
is approximately so, coming from
20 different light stations from the
Boon Island light near the New
Hampshire boundary to the Libby
Island light station in Machias Bay.
There are seven children at the Mt.
Desert Rock light station.
This serves as good example
of the development of the Maine
school system so as to reach every
child wherever located" Mr.. Gordon
declared.

Ruth Schofield, and others. Fully ioo
persons occupy scenes or dazziiis
splendor and brilliance. In the ~
weeks 1t ran in Boston. this company
of Rose Marie" exhibited qualities
that stamp it as a rival Of the New
York production, capacity audiences ac-
claiming every performance. NO one
knows better than Arthur Hammer
stein, with his years of experience as
leading producer. that players come
first and then the production. Even as
precious q piece of show property as
Rose Marie" with all Its inherent
strength, would be 3eopardized with an
inferior playing company. wherefore
the astute Hammerstein, with an eye
to the box Office, as spared nothing
in the production. Costuming and
scenic investitures are not only lavish
but the stage effects are also spark
ling with originality. Rudolph Frfmi
and Herbert Stothart composed the
beautiful score, with such alhring
songs as 'Rose-Marie," 1.-THE Indian
Love CALL" "Totem Tom Tom" and
1.-THE Door Of My Dreams" There are
but a few, for melody drips from every
line Of the score. In these days when
musical shows carry on with one lit
tie song hit, 1t seems almost prodigal
to supply as many as has Rose
Marie" The plot Of the piece-it is
one of the few musical plays that has
a plots largely in the bleak wilds OF
the Canadian Rockies. Into the action
Is drawn the picturesque Royal Mount
ed Police and all the colorful charac-
ters of the glorious Northwest, in one
grand ensemble of youth. beauty,
laughter and song. The entire COM
pany has been personally assembled
by Arthur Hammerstein. Profiting by
the example set by his famous father,
Mr.. Hammerstein has learned one
thing, If not two-the value Of players
who register their personalities. and
the acquisition Of good individual
voices.

WEEVIL DISCOVERED
Weevil Lure Sure Death to Pest
of Berry Patches - Bulletin
from the State College

Weevil Lure is the name of new
poison bait for strawberry root weevil
which is described in bulletin 1919
of the Agricultural Experiment bu-
reau of the state college which will
be available for distribution April L.
The destructive root weevil of the
strawberry can be satisfactorily, eco
nomically and practically controlled
by the distribution of weevil lure inn
mediately at the close of the berry
harvest according to DR.. A. L. Mel
ander and Mr.. A. Spuler, authors of
the bulletin. Full directions for the
preparation of the bait are given so
