AS Others Sec Us.

As 1t is with the greatest reluctance
that any of the Borton, and We might
say Massachusetts papers, will admit
that there is any attempt being made to
enforce the prohibitory law In Maine,
the following from the Boston Herald Is
interesting:
"Beyond question, Maine is getting
genuine enforcement Of the prohibitory
law from one end to the other. The
sheriffs whom Gov. Haines appointed to
replace those removed by order of the
legislature for non-enforcement OF the
law, are making their connties as dry as
the proverbial desert. Portland, Lewis
ton, Bath, Rockland, Augusta, Water
Vile, and even Bangor, are all drier than
they have been before In generation.
Many did not believe that such q thing
could be done. But the worst scoffers
are silenced and simply wondering now
how long it can last.
So close watch is kept on all channels
through which liquor comes for Illegal
purposes, that when man is having any
shipped for his own personal use, he
now goes to the sheriff and tells him
about 1t. Otherwise 1t is altogether
likely that the liquor will be seized at
the express Office or the freight depot.
Even the railroads now refuse to accept
liquor that is obviously designed for sale
at Maine points. The result Is that the
pocket. peddlers and dive keepers who
still try to do business have to import
their stock in trunks as baggage or to
use automobiles to bring 1t across the
State line from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,.
All this Is as It should be while the
statewide prohibitory provision is part
of the Maine law. The open evasion OF
the law has for years encouraged con.
tempt for all law, and has been the basis
of endless political hypocrisy. Gov.
Haines has taken the right stand, even
though it has made him 80 unpopular
in the cities that there is said to be not
one chance In hundred that he could
be reelected at the present time. he
has put his oath of Office above political
deals and lodges. He has also put it
squarely up to the people OF Maine
whether they want to continue the pro-
vision that Maine put in the constitn-
ton many years ago when conditions
were vastly different. 1t was one thing
to have prohibitory law that was en-
forced only as each locality or county
wanted it enforced it is quite another to
have one enforced without fear or favor
in every part of the state.
1t cannot be denied that conditions
before Governor Haines took his firm
stand for enforcement were about as
rotten as possible. When it gets SO that
even the travelling salesmen complain
about the drunkenness on trains and in
public places, it certainly was time that
something be done, and the present con-
dition is surely relief.
And let's see, We believe that 1t is In
license Massachusetts that the governor
is now taking steps to see what can be
done to check the drunkenness In that
state, which the court records show to
be increasing rapidly.

Present Interest In Agriculture,

The reason for SO many "baok-to-the-
land" movements may rest In personal
selfishness on the part OF some city men
and women, as Secretary Houston
states, but more credit for interest in
agriculture should be given the awaken.
ing American Intelligence. W. G. Brown,
in recent address quoted in an ex.
change, expresses this thought In say
ing:
"Gradually the fact that farming-the
cultivation of the soil-is the most i'm.
portant business in the world Ia being
recognized; and the earnest attention OF
not only this country but of every nation
of the earth, is being anxiously directed
to every effort looking to Its improve
ment.
"More to day than at any time 10 ou,

or adversely lies In the hands Of the
American farmer. Nothing should be
left undone that will strengthen or on
courage him 10 the great work In which
he is engaged"

THE FRESH AIR CURE
Is Sound and LOGICAL,

Both by day and by night it is nec-
essary to have enough oxygen from
fresh air to keep the blood pure and in
best condition to repair waste and 50
maintain life. If confined by day,
sleep in open air at night, well pro-
teeted of course by suitable clothing.

Probably nowhere in this country is

Probably nowhere In this country Is
there keener interest In the news that Sir
Thomas Upton will try to "lift" the
Americas cup than is felt In Deer Isle
on the coast of Maine. In former cup
races, American yachts have been man
ned by young men from Deer Isle and
they have been we'll manned. The boys
down that way grow up to be good
sailors. They learn all the little tricks
of the trade. No small share of the
credit for keeping the cup on this side
of the water belonged to them. Maine
will hope that when Sir Thomas sends
bis new yacht over here next year, the
boys from this state will again be on the
deck OF the defender and will again
show that Maine is the homo Of some OF
the worlds best seamen.

Experiments have proved that yarded
hens are more prolific layers than those
allowed free range. It costs more to
keep them, but the returns In eggs are
larger. Yarded hens are fed on food
that will make eggs, and naturally this
food is converted into the object for
which 1t is intended. On the other
hand, the same food fed to fowls thai
are on range is more apt to 20 to the
making OF fesh-bone and muscle-rath
or than to the making of eggs.

Will They Do lt2

Passenger Traffic Manager George a..
Houghton of the Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad has sent out SUNSHINE and
courtesy" notice to employees of the
road. 1t reads in part: "Some people
don't attach enough importance to sun
shine, but without it life 10 this world
ceases The same with courtesy. Cour-
tesy is sunshine. A sullen face gets
nothing but hate. The world Is a look
ing glass. II you smile at it, it smiles
back. II you frown, you will see one.
You are cheating your employer when
YOU are not courteous to his customers.
Lend a willing hand to old ladies with
bundles and young ladies with babies,
and try and make them feel that they
are not unwelcome."

SOUNDS Like a Fish Story.

As the Lincoln Chronicle tells It:
One day recently while W. e. Clendenin,
postmaster at Winn, was strolling along
the bank of the Penobscot near his home
ne spied large salmon which was try
ing to make It's way up the river. The
fish got too near the shore and Mr.. Glen.

1t In bis hands and drew the fish 10
