Promise of Farm
Relief Bill in House
By Next Wednesday

Washington, Apr. 16.-(R-Notice
from Minnesota Republicans in the
house that they would oppose ad-
journment Of congress until farm re-
lief legislation was enacted brought
from Representative Tilson, the Re-
publican leader, a. response today
that he expected a bill reported by
next Wednesday and brought up in
tn house the latter part of the week.
Meanwhile the agricultural COM
mittee. displaying symptoms of
swerving from Secretary Jardine's
plan, embodied in the Tincher bill,
instructed Chairman Haugen to draft
q measure. This procedure was
adopted without a dissenting vote,
but did not commit members to any
form of legislation.
At the White House it was said
that President Coolidge intends to
withhold sanction of the Tincher bill
until he can inform himself more
definitely of its provisions and vari-
Gus farm groups in congress have had
opportunity in the house and senate
to develop their views as to what
should be done. !
He is inclined, however, to look
with favor on the principle Of the
Tincher bill of not engaging the gov
eminent in the buying or selling Of
farm products.

AUGUSTA SYMPHONY
TO PRESENT final
PROGRAM SUNDAY
Varied Program Includes Sew
eral Selections of Oriental
Theme

An unusually colorful program
has been arranged and will be pre-
scented at the third and final public
rehearsal Of the sixth season of the
Augusta Symphony Orchestra at
City Hall auditorium Sunday eve
ming. The program will start at
$40 o'clock, but the doors will be
opened an hour earlier SO that all
wishing to enjoy the evening of or
chestra music may obtain seats, OBJ
waiting noise and confusion while
the musicians are playing.
Except for the marches and a
valse chantee, the program for this
final public rendition Is of Oriental
origin or theme, and included is one
of the ever-popular descriptive Sc
lections, a Fantasia, "A Vision of
Salome," by j. Bodewalt Lampe.
Following is the synopsis Of this
number:
''SaIome has been repulsed by
John the Baptist after she has eX-
hausted all her powers to enchant
him. She appears before King Her
cd at his birthday feast. She
dances at his request. Herod is
pleased with her dancing and prom
ises to grant whatever she may ask.
Salome, still smarting under her re-
pulse, and urged by her mother He
rodias, asks for the head of John
the Baptist. Herod, with great re-
luctance, grants her request. The
feast Is over; the head of John is
brought in a charger to Salome,
whose revenge Is now complete
for John, who would not as much
as turn his head to look at her,
shall now behold her in all her
beauty. In her mad frenzy, she
caresses and kisses the head She
attempts to dance but is stricken
with fear. She is terrified as she
realizes the horror of what she has
done. She is overwhelmed-abjec
but ray of hope flashes over her
sinking soul: can she earn forgive
ness by constant prayer and sacri-
fee? She swoons in heap on the
floor.
This interesting composition will
be the concluding number of the
first part of the program. The 9TH
er selections to be played by the big
symphony group tomorrow evening
are as follows:

Presque Isle
To Support Track
Team This Season

Pressure Isle, April 16.-Presque isle
High is to have a track team this year
for the first time in years.
Athletic authorities at the Pressure
Isle institution have given out this in
formation, so 1t seems assured that
the Bradentown school will be an i'm
portant entry in the coming county
track meet. Pressure Isle demonstrated
at last years meet that with training
and coaching the Pressure Isle High
school can turn out team that will
give the best of them a tough run for
honorS.
Track is a sport that almost any
body can. take part in, and there seems
to be no reason why so or rs boys
should not turn out for the call of
the Bradentown school
Track appears to have a large fol-
lowing in the spud country and with
proper coaching and training the
Aroostook schools should be able to
send strong teams to the u. of Maine
high school track meet this coming
season.

Reveal Story Of
Nurses HerOism
In No. Newfoundland

Worcester, Mass, April 16-R1-
Letters written nearly two months
ago, have brought to her parents
here the story Of nurses heroism
on the bleak coast of Northeastern
Newfoundland. They told how Miss
Marjorie Hirtle, on the staff Of the
Grenfell Mission at Raleigh, N. F.,
carried on single handed a battle
against a scarlet fever epidemic in
the fishing villages and ultimately
won the fight.
An ice-bound strip Of coastline 80
miles in length was the theatre OF
the girls efforts. Deep snow blocked
the trails and the tiny villages of the
fishermen were scattered far apart
along the sheltered bays of the shore.
Dog teams were used to carry the
nurse on her errand of mercy and
she used her medicine kit as a seat
on the sled. The fierce storms OF
the northern Newfoundland coast
hampered but failed to stop her.
First news of the outbreak Of scar
let fever came to the girls mother,
Mrs. Charles w. Hirtle, in letters re-
CelVed Jan. 70. Sl16 waited III SuS-
pense for further information and at
last letters written Feb. 20 reported
that the epidemic had been control
led. The simple recital Of daily
events contained in the letters re-
vealed a tale of unsparing effort and
heroism.
The struggle. with disease reached
a desperate stage when DR.. Mount,
physician in charge of the Grenfell
base hospital at st. Anthony, became
i'll. He had been working side by
side with Miss Hirtle at Raleigh, but
when he fell victim to the scar
let fever, he was forced to return to
his hospital, two days journey dis
tant. At st. Anthony he was nursed
by his wife, and Mrs. Mount in turn
caught the disease.
After that Miss Hirtle was left
alone in the struggle with all the
odds against her. Despatching ma
tives with dog teams to the hospital
at st. Anthony to replenish the sup
ply of serum, she continued her
rounds among the villages tending
scores Of patients.
