valuable experience by taking active part in the harvest at h-s home.
 It Is hoped here that the decline in the popu atiOn of the Danish West Indies, which has continUed since 1S40. may be ended by the- opening or the Panama Canal In lS4O there were 4l.O00 people on the islands, and by 1870 the number. was reduced to 3S,0001. Ten years ago the Dan ish West Indies reported a population of 3o.500 and the number today is s.ven at 21i00 Of this number, St Croix has I0.700 and st. John a little over 800.
 That the feeling heie that the open ing Of the canal will increase the population is shared abroad, is indi- cated by the efforts of the Royal Mail Packet Company Of London to secure from the Danish government an ex- tension of the dock privileges which it enjoys in St. Thomas To the representative or the company now here, the government has given only a vague answer, saying that no deci- sion would be made within a year or eighteen months. It is understood that the government wishes a much larger dock than the present Roya' Mall landing Co accomodate the larg- est shipping before the opening of the canal, in the hope that a heavy traffic will be attracted 10 St. Thomas

DANISH NOTES

COPENHAGEN, Denmark. October 1:-Following a discussion on the safety or art works in local galleries which resulted from the theft Of Mona Lisa" a reporter on a local paper abstracted a valuable Dutch painting from the Danish National Gallery. The picture was taken to the office Of the paper and although the manager of the gallery was informed over the telephone that a painting had been stolen from his collection. he reported that the guardians as sured him that none was missing.
 Four hours later the reporter re- turned the painting to the manager. The affair has caused much comment. and the Ministry, which has charge of the gallery, has instituted an en- quiry which is expected to lead to a plan for the better safeguarding of art treasures.

According to all reports the harvest of 1911 in Denmark will surpass all records since 1868. Not in forty three years has weather, labor and other conditions proven so suspicious to the farmer, and hereafter when the agriculturist wishes 10 point to an Ideal harvest, he will refer to 1911. There is only one discordant note. that Of the turnip and grass growers who have suffered on account Of the long drought
 it was feared that labor would be scarce, but the employment agencies did their work so we'll that no short age was felt, and with the exception of the large farms, harvest was com ?, eted within three weeks.

Range 2, were the only voting pre-
cincts in the county to return MAORI
ties against the adoption of the pro-
hibitory amendment.
Maine had given prohibition a thor
ough trial prior to 1884. 1t had been
a bone of contention to be sure, but
the people liked it and the majority
In its favor was overwhelming. This
fact made for a degree of enforce
ment that at least suited the people,
as evidenced by the vote on the
amendment, 64,507 Yes, and 20,224
No. The prohibition sentiment was

State as a whole. Every county was

THE GREAT PROHIBITION
VOTE IN 1884
Somerset County Did Nobly In the
Battle Of Twenty Seven Years Ago.

The election next Monday will be
the first of its kind In the history or
Maine. Never before have questions
been referred to the people except
In connection with State or general
election. At such times there are
the party organizations, the candi-
dates and their friends all working
to get out the vote. each worker usu-
ally having some incentive in the
shape of either immediate or pros
pective reward. All those factors
will be absent from the contest next
Monday, and 1t is question how far
the participating organizations will
be able to succeed In their efforts to
get out full vote.
When Maine put prohibition into
the constitution q years ago, only
SO per cent of those who went to the
polls and voted for governor took the
trouble to vote on the amendment at
all. Somerset county did little bet
ter than the State as a whole, re-
cording SO per cent of the total vote,
with 1922 Yes and 1888 No. Follow
ing was the vote of the principal
towns:
