Miss Miller makes the following
announcement in connection with

sandwiches, made from the nutri-
tion recipes, brought by the women
themselves and cocoa prepared by
the hostess. However, each center
is at liberty to decide for itself
what the lunch is to consist Of. We
hope that every person who has to
spend any time in kitchen will
avail herself of this opportunity to
get suggestions from Miss Nav
oecrest, assistant state leader Of
home demonstration work, as she
has made an extensive study Of kit
chens and what kitchen should be-
to every housewife. Any other wo.
men OF these centers who desire help
at this time should let us know az
We will probably have more time on
our schedule.

p,ained and it will not be necessary

so that it is necessary to either allow
some stalks to seed or reseed the
piece entirely the second year.
Another method is to scatter small
amount of seed each year thereby,
keeping a fairly continuous crop.
In late summer of the first year
sweet clover forms numerous large
buds at the crown which will produce
the next years crop. Second crop
comes the second year from buds on
stems. The minimum height secured
this year was a foot with maximum
of three feet.
There are four distinct varieties
of sweet clover: biennial white,
biennial yellow, annual white (Hu-
bam) and annual yellow. The bien-
NAL white variety is the one which
is meeting with so much popular
favor in the corn belt states and
which seems to offer the greatest
promise of value under Maine con-
ditions. The biennial yellow is a
finer stemmed, smaller plant, APP
parently not at all comparable to the
biennial white in value. The annual
white makes but small root growth
and so slender, stemmy top growth
as to make it of but little value for
most purposes. The annual yellow
makes an even smaller growth and
lighter yield than the annual white
and is not regarded as of any value.

II is their duty to enforce the auto

open highways of the country are con-
csrned. They are not supposed to ne
force all laws, but they are expected
10 cooperate with other officers when
asked to do so.
Chief Field devoted some time to a
DISCUSSION of the difficulty with which
officers are often confronted in enforc-
ing the laws, and of the censure that
kymen often direct towards them. He
told of number of cases which had
perplexed him when chief of The Police

interest.
II the people of Maine desire a State

force which was at once both eff
cent and well trained. The men who
are to become members of the force
are carefully selected: they must be a
certain height and age and they must
devote themselves TO hard study and
exercise before they are given their
badges.
The last topic which Chief Field
considered was that of automobile
laws In Maine at the present time.
The policy of his administration. he
said, was to make no arrests for trav-
cling up to 20 miles an hour in built
up sections, and up to from So to 40
miles in the open country. At the
close Of his talk he answered a num-
Der Of questions.
