Cleanup Week"
Important Before
Arrival of Tourists

DIR. Clarence +. Kendall. State health
commissioner, in letter sent out
Thursday to the mayors of cities and
the selectmen of towns, says that
through the special advertising of the
State of Maine, it is expected that
there will be large influx of visitors
in the State during the summer.
MANY of them have never been in
the State and will judge the State ac-
cording to the conditions which they
find" continues Commissioner Ken
dali in his communication.
1--WE have had an unusually long
and severe winter. and it is inevitable
that a great deal of filth and rubbish
have accumulated. In many places the
snow has been very deep and it has
been impossible to make a proper dis
posal of waste material. AS the snow
has melted it has uncovered large
amount of decayed animal and vege-
table matters, often in conspicuous
places, where it is likely to become a
serious nuisance unless taken care OF
properly.
I'VE would urge that you appoint
some week as "Clean-Up Week" and
see that your community is properly
cleaned up before our summer visitors
arrive. The municipality is RESPONSE
bic for the condition and care of the
highway, but each citizen is RESPONSE
BILE for the sanitary condition and ap-
pearance of his premises. If the citi-
zen does not do his part promptly and
thoroughly to get his place clean, the
work of others may be undone through
the scatterings of refuse from his
premises to the property of others.
"It is not only necessary that prop
erty be properly cleaned up in the
spring, but a constant effort should
be made to keep premises clean and in
sanitary condition throughout the
year.
Files are a menace to health and
every effort should be made to de-
stroy the breeding places of flies, es-
pecially in the rural districts. Care
should be taken to see that all privies
are properly cleaned out and all ma
nure piles should be protected so that
they will not become breeding places
for flies. All places where mosquitoes
might breed should be carefully looked
after tin cans should be buried, rain
barrels screened, swamps drained as
far as possible, and all rubbish that
can be burned should be destroyed in
this manner so that it will not become
a home for rats and mice or be blown
about by the winds.
Each citizen should take pride in
the appearance of his community and
should assist in Cleanup Week." so
that when our visitors come they will
be favorably impressed with the gen.
eral cleanliness of our State and will
feel that their health is being proper
ly looked after"

No Certificate
Required on Jitney
At Woodland Mill

A decision was rendered Thursday
by the public utilities commission
dismissing the application of Martin
Y. Hunter of Calais to operate mo-
tor vehicles for the carrying of pas
sengers, the commission declaring
that no certificate is required.
1.-THE petitioner, Martin Y. Hunter,
lives in Calais, and is employed in
the mill of the st. CroiX Paper Com
pany at Woodland, 10 miles from
Calais" says the decision of the
utilities commission.
During the season of the year
when the roads are suitable for auto
mobile driving, Mr.. Hunter has been
accustomed to use his own automo-
bile in travelling back and forth
from Calais to Woodland to his work
and to take with him several of his
fellow employees, they paying to him
from So to $3.50 per week for the
privilege of riding back and forth
with him." continues the decision of
the commission.
"Mr. Hunter states that the

Protect Crossing
At'Old Orchard

| The public utilities commission
: Thursday rendered a decision order
ing the Boston & Maine Railroad to
| protect Old Orchard street in the
, town Of Old Orchard, during the pass
age of all trains, by gates which it
shall forthwith, install and thereafter
continuously maintain and operate
from May to Oct. / of each year.
During the remainder of each year
from Oct. 1 to May 1, the Boston 4
Maine Railroad shall protect the
crossing during the passage Of all
trains by standard automatic signals
of the audible and visible type.
1T appears that Old Orchard
street, which is the principal thor
oughfare in the village of Old Or
chard, carries very heavy traffic. not
only during the summer season, when
the summer business at Old Orchard
is at its height but also before and
after the height of the season. when
the roads are open to automobile
traffic" says the decision of the COM
mission.
Pursuant to recommendation of
the commission, in it's decision of
Dec. 8, 1915, this crossing has been
protected by gates from June 1 to
sept 10 each year and during the
oalance OF the year has been pro-
tected by an automatic signal which
was installed in 1916" continues the
decision.
The railroad company also fur
nished additional protection of q
hagman-one Of the Old Orchard sta
ton crew-from Sept. is to June Of
each year until about Jan. /. 1925.
when this form of protection was dis
continued by the company.
The railroad traffic as well as the
highway traffic is very heavy over
this crossing. Several Of the trains
are express trains which do not ston

ADJUSTMENTS
OPERA HOUSE

The popular Jimmie Evans Revue
will open a one-week engagement
at Opera House next Monday
matinee.
This will be Jimmie's farewell en-
gagement for this season. During the
week he will present three entire
new bills, new scenery. new ward
robe, new songs, dances and new
comedy These three bills will be
entirely different from anything that
he has presented In Augusta on his
previous engagements here.
The Revue will be presented by a
company of twenty-five talented per-
formers, and a chorus Of fourteen of
the snappiest and prettiest chorines
on the American stage. These
young ladies' will offer the very latest
of dances. Jimmie Evans (himself)
will be aided by that popular Jewish
comedian Micky Flynn. Mr.. Evans
has brand new comedy scenes for

four patrons and S,796 cows as
compared with the preceding year.
This indicates that the number
of producing cows per herd has
dropped from eight to six head.
1.-THE average butter fat test of
milk for the past year was 4.02 per
cent for. the preceding year and 1897
per cent for the year 1928. The
total amount of milk received during
the past year was 97,995,072 pounds
as against 70,57S,S09 pounds during
the preceding year.
THE average butter fat test of
cream is about the same for the two
years, 21.3 per cent in 1925 and 21.3
in 1924. Two features seem to stand
out from these figures, the first be-
ing that there was a definite swing
toward selling whole milk in
preference to cream. and, second,
that the per COW production has
gone up. This latter result may be
caused by better food and care of
producing COWS as well as in re-
ducing the number of cows per
been sold off.
THE reports indicate that 10 con-
Germs have churned 637,S77 pounds
of butter as compared with ii con-
Germs and 5S0,662 pounds for the
preceding year.
THE condensing of milk Is car
ried on by only one company and
the production varies but little
| from year to year. One new cheese
factory opened for business during
the year and this cares for the
milk of approximately 700 cows. This
! makes two factories now in active
year round operation with a COM
bined output of 2S3,966 pounds of
! full cream cheese. In addition to
this, there are several hundred
pounds of fancy cheese being put
| out by two dairy plants.
Ten concerns during the past
year manufactured S9S,25S gallons of
| ice cream, an increase of 1923 gal
| Ions over the preceding year"

recorded by the clerk Of Sharp county
at Hardy last week The instrument
is warranty deed executed by Clar
ence ii. Powell of Jefferson, Ia, to the
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" con
veying 100 acres several miles north
east of Hardy.
The deed is regular In every way
except II reads "for and In consider
alton Of the death and penalty all peo-
pie inherited being hereby acknowledge
ed paid by our Lord, Redeemer and
Savior, Jesus Christ, who bought the
right to possess and control the earth
and all things pertaining thereto,
hereby surrender all claim of right
and ownership to the lands herein
described"
After giving description Of the lands
conveyed, the deed recites, "The Savior
secured the right of possession and con-
trol of the earth by all proper methods
known. First, by participating in the
creation OF all things; second, by in
heritance third, by gift; fourth. by
purchase at the cost Of His life"
The deed further says, 81 do hereby
covenant with the said Lord and Sa-
vior to defend His claim of ownership
to the best of my ability in considera-
tiOn of the well known facts, that,
land titles originate with the United
States government, or other govern
ments, who secured the above land by
conquest (force). This way Of acquir-
ing possession and control Is unjust,
improper, therefore, no right was ever
secured by any man or men,, eonse-.
quently there is no proper right to
convey the right to control the earth
