FAIRFIELD
American Legion
To Present PLAY

All members of the George Q.
Grover Post II, American Legion, hail
with delight the announcement of the
American Legion Players that they
are determined 10 offer this fall 4
play that will stand comparison with
the best of the old-time offerings,
A. Raymond Rogers of Waterville,
who has had n great deal of expert
ence in coaching dramatics, has been
secured to direct the play, and this
fact alone will be a guaranty of what
the public may expect this season. For
several weeks the members of the
American Legion Players have been
examining a large number of prom
Using plays that were proposed for
production this year and the ultimate
selection, "Helrs Gate" is thought
by the committee to be eminently
adapted to the requirements and abil-
ity of those who will take part.
'He,rs Gate" is a thrilling drama
in three acts, full of tense situations,
and built along lines that will enable
all members of the cast to appear to
good advantage. Although 1t has been
played by many of the leading stock
companies, it has never been seen in
this vicinity and will therefore be of
much greater interest to the general
public. it is thought. than the offer
ing of a play from which time has
taken the keen edge of novelty.
The second rehearsal will be held
in the American Legion hall Friday
evening at $50, all members of the
cast as each rehearsal means a great
deal to the success of the production
1t Is expected that the first perform
ance Will take place early in Decem-
Der.
The George 0. Grover Post IA, Am
erican Legion, held a very successful
business meeting Tuesday evening
with large number of their mem
bers present. Committees are already
at work on matters of interest to the
community, one of these being an ed
ucational moving picture. A pitch"
tournament is being planned with
many novel features. 1t is hoped
that next Tuesday night all the MEM
bers will attend as something is real
~ going to happen.
Community Services
At a meeting of the pastors on
Wednesday at the parsonage with
Rev DR.. Mooney it was planned to
noiu tHTee great community services
on the last Sunday in November and
the first two Sundays in December to
invite prominent ministers from out
OF this district to preach.
This is part of the movement un-
der the auspices of the pastors union
to hold series of community SER
vices in each of the churches repre-
sented in the pastors union. At the
meeting y of the pastors union on
Tuesday at the Hotel Halifax there
was no thought given whatever to
the securing of an evangelist or to
the holding of revival services. 1t
was decided to hold the meetings first
in Fairfield, as many of the members
of the pastors union as can be will
be present at each of the community
services in Fairfield.
The Reverend Messrs. Henderson,
Chapman and Mooney heartily invite
the people of Fairfield, Benton and
Waterville to attend these services.
Details of the preachers, churches,
ETC., will be given later.

PRESS RELEASE
March 22, 1926.

Pursuant to the request Of the Nation
al Highways Association, Bass River,
Cape Cod, Massachusetts, His EXcellen-
cy, the Governor has authorized that AS
ISOLATION to manufacture, at its W eX-
pense, two special automobile license
plates representing the island of Saint
Thomas, and two representing the is
land of Saint Croix, to be placed on the
official Car of the National Highways
Association,
The following extracts from the letter
of the National Highways Association
are of particular interest:
The Official Car of this Association
will carry in 1926 more than GA Motor
Vehicle License Plates all $25, These
plates are issued to US in the cause of
Good Roads Everywhere, and to
give publicity to that cause and to the
Jurisdictions cooperating with US.
While the Good Roads" cause is our
primary objective, there are some 9TH
er important collateral detectives
which can be attained by the travels Of
our Official Car. This car probably
makes more mileage on the highways
of America than any other car. 1t is
seen by more people than any other car
whatsoever. 1t never stops anywhere
except to he Immediately surrounded
by everyone within sight. Now one
of the collateral advantages obtained

e by its travels is the publicity given to
$ the people of the United States in re.
< gard to their territories and depeEden-
cies. This publicity for these territor-
les and dependencies is not only of the
utmost importance to them but like
wise to the people Of the United States.
It is only by arousing and maintaining
the interest of our people in these ter
~ritories and dependencies that their
we'll being and safety can be assured.
Your cooperation in what we age
doing is much appreciated. | want to
emphasize that, in so far as the de-
tendencies Of the United States are
concerned, our work is not so much
for Good Roads, as to advertise them
and give them publicity to the people
of the United States, and thuse arouse
their interest effectively and ad@n-
t~ageousIy. There is everything iEsea
name: there is everything in its cots
slant repetition. The constant pt4k
sentation of st. Thomas and the V@
gin Islands to the eyes and ears Of the.
American people is advantageous, not
only to the Virgin Islands but to all
the dependencies of the United States,
and to our people,"
The above quotations are published in
order to indicate the importance of>hav-
ing the Virgin Islands of the United
States adequately represented on an Cff-
cial cay of the National Highways As
sociation.
The Association is forwarding to the
Governor for the records of the Govern
ment, a duplicate of the license plates
for St. Thomas and St. CrOix. When
plates are received they will be
gladly shown to any person DESTROYS Of
them, in St. Thomas at the Office
of the Government Secretary and in St.

Small Potatoes Good
for Spring Planting

Plant the small ones and save ex-
pense is the advice of F. A. Krantz
of the division of horticulture, Uni
versity of Minnesota, to potato grow
ers who are beginning to think in
terms of the coming spring.
Mr.. Krantz says that whole small
potatoes are even better TO plant than
seed pieces from large tubers, provid-
ed they come from vigorous, healthy
plants. If planted when weather
conditions are unfavorable, there is
less likelihood of the whole small po-
tato rotting in the fround than there
is of the seed pieces cut from large
potatoes.
Growers who have kept up seed
plots will be perfectly safe in plant
ing their small unmarkatable stock"
says Mr.. Krantz. ''The small seed
potato should be firm in substance,
with the first sprouts just beginning
to appear, and should be of mini
mum weight of two ounces. Badly
sprouted small potatoes should not be
planted In a time of high prices
like the present, growers can make
saving by using their smallest tubers,
if properly grown, for this years
seed. But do not increase the acre
age"

some excuse for such a classification,

Minnesota's state campaign OF

Minneapolis for governor on the re-
publican side, and by the call for a
farmer-labor convention to indorse
candidates for state office. is fairly
underway, says Charles &. Cheney,

journal. New developments are
looked for now almost daily.
Magnus Johnson, former senator,
fired the opening gun of the farmer
labor campaign Saturday night,
speaking at the ST. Paul Labor Tenn
pile to labor political gathering. Mr..
johnson is the prospective candidate
of his party for governor. Tom Davis
of Minneapolis is expected by some
of his friends to enter the race on his
return this week from the south. but
party leaders believe that indorse-
ment of Magnus Johnson by their con-
vention will settle the governorship
nomination.
l'r. johnson, in his brief speech,
