That the women of West Sumner
are made of the right kind of stuff Is
shown by the following paragraph
from a correspondent of the Oxford
Democrat: About o'clock Friday
afternoon a tall dark complexioned
man dressed in black walked into the
house of John Gerrish, Jr. Mrs. Ger
IRISH was alone In the house putting
baby to sleep He demanded money,
and on her replying there was none,
he took hold of her roughly saying
81 know John Gerrish is an apple
buyer and he must have money here,
and you keep quiet while | search the
house" He~ passed on into the bed
room and began to ransack, but in the
meantime Mrs. Gerrish stepped to the
kitchen, and taking down a gun fol-
lowed him into the room and pointed
1t at him saying, You get out of here
at once or you may need a coffin" He
begged her not to shoot and made his
escape as quickly as psible, she fol-
lowing him to the door with the weap-
on ready for action. He had evidently
been out in the rain some time, for he
was dripping wet. John Gerrish, the
apple buyer, has recently moved to
Buckfield and his son John is living
on the farm"

Question Cleared Up
SkOwhegan Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
/ But Skowhegan's pertinent question
has always been HAS anyone here In
Skowhegan been cured?" The word of
stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but 1t cannot have
the same weight with US as the word
of our citizens, whom we know and
respect, and whose evidence we can
so easily prove.

4 FISHING LICENSE
For Residents Being Considered
by Fish and Game Dept.

The State has for some years haC
a nonresident hunting license and
now the commissioners of inland
fisheries and game are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of recommending
that the 10th Legislature pass a Law
providing for a fishing license fol
non-residents.
This new scheme has been com
mended by many anglers both from
within and without the State. Most
of the correspondents suggest a tas
of either 81 or 81 and that this money
be added to the fund for the props
CATION of fish. One enthusiast be-
lieves that the revenue from the new
source would be large enough to per.
nit Of all the first class fishing
grounds being kept open for a long
er period each year. as the money
would give additional fish hatcheries
to keep up the supply.
Eleven states, chiefly in the Rocky
Mountains and the Plains region
have at the present time adopted
some form of angling license. A
pioneer State In this line was Ne
braskay. which in 1901 required the
same license for fishing as for hunt
Ing, either by residents or non-resi-
dents Idaho and Montana followed
In 1905, but the Montana license
proved unpopular and was repealed
at the following session of the Legis-
lature, only to be reenacted In 1909
The IL states which now have hook
and line licenses, with the dates OF
adoption of the law, a"e as follows:
Arkansas, 1911; Colorado, 1909; Ida
no, 1905; Minnesota, 1911; Montana
1905; Nebraska, 1901; Oregon, 1909
South Dakota, 1911; Utah. 1907; Wis
consin, 1909; Wyoming, 1911.
Licenses are required of non-res
dents only in Arkansas, Colorado.
Minnesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. Those In Arkansas
are local and are limited to two or
three counties. The fee is usually
81 but sometimes is more. The OBJ
ject has been not to prohibit fishing
but to require those who enjoy the
sport to contribute toward the ex-
pense of State care and hatcheries.
The commissioners have not yet
decided whether or not to recommend
in their annual report non-resi-
dent anglers license but they will
be pleased, meanwhile. to receive
communications from anyone inter-
ssted in the matter.
Such a bill Ia likely, however, to
be presented to the next Legislature,
whether recommended by the depart
ment or not for nonresident fisher
men are very enthusiastic over the
matter and are urging the passage
of such a measure, both for their
own protection and for the added
revenue that they believe it would
bring to the department, insuring ad-
ditional efforts along the line of fish

Actors Oppose Moving Pictures.

German managers. actors and play
wrights have made ready for action
against the all-conquering motion-picture
mania. AT a meeting of delegates OF
national associat ions representing his
trionic art in Berlin this week 1t was
decided that heroic measures were neces-
sary to preserve the theater from ruin
at the hands of ''kintopps," as notion
picture shows are called here.
Reports from Berlin and the provinces
revealed that many theatrical establish
tnents are on the brink of disaster in
consequence of "kintopp" competition.
The craze for film shows Is not only deal
ing box offices a deadly blow. but is
tempting actors and actresses from the
legitimate stage. The case was cited of
Q Berlin leading lady who has succumbed
to the higher salaries offered by film
concerns. and who did not hesitate re
Gently to fling herself into lake. to por-
tray the principal role in ''kintopp'
melodrama entitled Tired of Life.
The consensus of opinion was that mo-
ton pictures should be confined by law
to science and education. and should be
deba FRED from invading the sacred realm
of the drama. Ii was decided that one Of
the most potent means of fighting the
"kintopp" would be to place a prohbitive
import duty on foreign films, and the i'm
perial government will be petitioned to
that end. Meantime. "kintOpps con-
tinue TO sweep all before them.
The kaisers impresarios themselves
capitulated this week to a seductive offer
for the rental of the obsolete Royal
Operetta Theater. which will now he
. turned into "kintopp.
