Grasshoppers are less numerous this
August in Maine.
Game Warden H. 0. Templeton,
while cruising along the inlet to Sip
pen bay, in the town of Perry, found
quantity of lime in several trout
pools He also found evidence that
some one had made use of lime in bot
ties for the purpose Of killing the fish.
The manner in which this is done is to
place a quantity of lime in a bottle
with a small vent in the stopper to al
low the water to seep in slowly. which
generates a gas when coming in con-
tact with the lime and if the bottle is
a strong one the conclusion caused by
the explosion which eventually follows
is enough to destroy all the fish in the
pool in which the bottle is placed.
Might as well fish with dynamite.

Gov. Vessey came la from Beresford
Saturday afternoon as anronnced and
was mel at the depot by the Ringsrud
automobile and delagst tion headed by
DR.. Ellie, chairman Of the insureent
| republican county committee. There
was opportunity To meet only few
people before the speaking at the court
house in the evening.
All through Gov. Vessey's address
he charged the stalwarts with measur-
ing everything by the value OF the dol
lar instead OF by the higher ethical
standards. Gov. Vessey should re-
member that in go far AS this is true, he
himself is responsible for 1t, He began
the campaign by openly and boldly
challenging the stalwarts to make good
their claim that his administration
was filed with extravaganza. The
stalwarts were obliged to show where
the dollars went to, or else stand silent
and convicted OF misrepresentation and
mistake. In measuring everything by
the dollar, as the governor says, the
stalwarts have responded to the govern
or's challenge and have made good
their case. Gov. Vessey thus practi-
C lly admitted everything that the
stalwarts claim--that he has run the
state in debt, increased taxation even
under the increased revenues of the
state and saddled upon the comlng years
burden OF increasing ana unnecessary
taxation.
Gov. Vessey's address WAS largely de.
voted to answering the points raised
by Ex-Gov. Elrod the Wednesday night
previous. He repeated the old sland er
that Gov. Elrod, while the primary pc
tition was in the secretary Of state's
office, used his personal and official in
lluence ''to help the legislators Violate
their oaths and defelt the petition. .
The Legislators simply did their duty

Gov. Nessey also claimed that the

in the heuncontrolled ambition of o,e man
to use the governorship as a stepping
stone 10 the United States senate.
Control OF state affairs still remains In
the hands of IA few, only it ls di ifferens
