FINED FOR NETTING SUCKERS.

Five men pleaded guilty Wednesday,
Dec. End, in the Auburn municipal court
to netting suckers in inland waters of
this State and were each fined, for this
offense. Besides heavy fines, each man
was ordered to accompany an officer to
his fishing ground and give up the nets,
which are to be confscated by the State.
Winfield Getchel and William Alexan-
der of Brunswick, who were fishing on
the Androscoggin nearWagg brook, were
arraigned, Wednesday morning. They
were fined $50 and costs, or, in other
words, a $50 fine with payment of one
dollar on each so fish taken.
In the afternoon, M. E. Curtis, Ar
thur Curtis, Auburn, and Jos. Avery,
Topsham, were arraigned on similar
charge. The first two were fined $50,
taxed one dollar for each Of Is fish and
the cost added. Avery was fined, as were
the two men arraigned in the morning,
that is, $50 and costs.
The work of conducting this enforce
ment of the fish and game laws was
done by 3. D. Harwood, chief warden of
the Inland Fish and Game commission,
for Kennebec and Androscoggin coun-
ties.
Those fish that are called suckers in
Maine are eaten for mullet and mountain
trout and Florida bloaters in New York.
Maine fishermen were selling tons of
these fish in the latter cities.
The arraignment of these men brings
a realization of the magnitude of the
industry. Beginning eight years ago it
seems, the industry has grown until at
present it is estimated that 40 or more
were engaged in it along the Androscog-
gin river.
Prices for the mullet vary. One man
said that they ranged from five to twelve
cents pound, while it has also been
high as $22 a hundred. At this rate,
it is not surprising that the industry was
attractive.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. That one year

A specific data upon which to base his
estimates, Mr.. Pratt has the report of
J. Massel, special commercial agent now
en- route to South America to study the
machine tools market there and prepare
a review of the needs of South American
countries, which will be made available
to American manufacturers.
In preparation for his trip he visited
nearly every large manufacturing plant
in the United States and estimates that
the machine tool manufacturing COM
panies alone have from $40, 900. 900 to
SIS, 600, 600 in orders from European coun-
tries now on their books.
The first country among the belliger-
ents to seek the American machine tool
supply was Russia. England and France
now have joined in seeking American
tools, and it is indicated that present
supplys cannot meet the demands. Of
course, problems of delivery still have to
be met; but the business is of the most
valuable type, since orders are as rule
accompanied by cash.
Details of the November foreign COM
merce are not available as yet beyond

of the United States OF approximately
$40, 900, 900 will be shown.

GENTLY ASSISTING NATURE

Those who find their breath bad in the
morning, a bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, mean feeling in the
head, will do well to try Pinklets, the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. It is a condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persistent
treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use OF harsh laSatives, unfortun.:
ately so common, gives temporary rellef
but in the end asgravates constipation.
Pinklets are dainty, sugar-coated pills,
hardly larger than mustard seed ana
they act gently, causing. no nausea or
gripping. They aid digestion and are
good after-dinner pill, especially when
more food has been taken than the needs
of the body require. They clear away, the
waste and prevent congestion. With {;
little persistence, which tie result is well
worth, they really correct chronic con-
stipation. -,

be sent, postpaid, on receipt OF price, 70

FOREST NOTES.

A great deal of the oak used on the
Pacific coast comes from the eastern part
of Asia,
White pine and yellow pine are the
woods most used for boxes, and each con-
tributes more than billion feet to the
box industry annually.
The annual cut of British Columbia
timber is approximately billion feet.
There are 420 miles and 100 logging
camps in the province, employing about
so, 900 men.
The Massachusetts forestry associa-
ton offers as a prize the planting OF
fifty acres of white pine, to the town
which gains first place in contest for
town forests.
To guard against tree repair takers,
or quack tree surgeons, the Massachu-
sets forestry association will inspect the
shade trees belonging to its members,
free of charge.
The Sihlwald, or city forest of Zurich,
Switzerland, adds to the town S revenues
ST. 20 per acre a year, reducing the
amount needed to be raised through
taxation by more than $32, 200.
The Boise national forest in Idaho had
30 fires during the past summer, yet 20
were held down to less than 10 acres, and
of these Is were less than one-quarter of
an acre. The supervisor says this sue
cess was due to look out tower, and to
efficient telephone and heliograph SER
vice.
In northern Idaho and Montana, which
had many fires during the past summer,
IS per cent of the fires on national forests
were caused by railroads, 26 per cent by
lightning, and 10 per cent by campers.
The remainder were due to brush burn
ing and other miscellaneous or unknown
causes.
A mountain lion recently killed in the
Grand Canyon game preserve, which adj
joins the Tusayan national forest, meas
ured ten feet from nose to tail. Mountain
lions and other beasts of prey, such as
wolves, coyotes, and wild cats, are killed
by forest officers and game wardens be-
cause they are menace to stock and to
game animals.
Because of the war, English manufac-
turers and consumers of wood pulp have
been caused considerable uneasiness.
! Production is at standstill in the coun-
tries at war. and in Norway and Sweden,
principal sources of supply, mills have
been greatly hampered because of lack
of coal and of chemicals. England has
practically no domestic sources of pulp.

EFFECT OF EUROPEAN WAR
On the Poultry In tustry of Montana,

On the Poultry In tustry of Montana.
With the presents high price of wheat
and other grain foods throughout the
State, there is strong tendency for the
farmers to sell all of their spare feed,
and as a result, the amount of grain
available for feeding stock will be great
ly reduced.
The hens, which are generally consld-
cred to be least important of all farm
animals, are bound to suffer first as the
grain feed is cut down. There will be a
corresponding decrease in the number of
eggs produced, with the inevitable result
that the hens will be disposed of to the
butcher.
That the farmers and poultrymen of
the State should think twice before fol-
lowing either of these plans, is evident
to all who have made study of the sit
uation.
1t is clear to all that the present year
will see the highest prices in poultry and
poultry products that lave been Witness
ed in years.
Y Montana imports every year nearly
two million dozen eggs and over million
pounds of poultry. This means that the
people of the State are dependent upon
the big packing houses for a large
amount of poultry products. This year
there isan unusual and strong demand for
eggs for transportation to Europe. This
demand was felt in Chicago as early as
the second week of the war, when l40
car loads o. storage eggs were shipped
east. THAI week the price of storage
eggs advanced IL cents per dozen. Or
dinariIy, they would be storing more
eggs at that season IN place of depicting
them.
England has been depending upon Rus
STA for large part of the eggs consum-
ed. This channel of trade is now stop
ped and she must look to America for
her much needed stock, and already
thousands of dozens of eggs have found
their way across the ocean.
The effect of this trade is already be-
ing felt in the State. The first of Octo-
Der, the price of eggs was from l0c. to
15c. above the average price, and by the
fifth, had advanced to (40c. at Bozeman)
price not usually reached until the first
or middle Of November.
| At the present time there is steady
and ever increasing cry for fresh eggs.
The merchants are experiencing Difficult.
ty in obtaining the usual good stock OF
storage eggs, and the clamor grows ever
louder for fresh eggs.
In view Of these conditions, it seems
that the poultry keepers should bend
their efforts to secure more eggs. Keep
all of the desirable stock; give them bet
ter care, and reap the rewart which is
| theirs for the asking.

Little you reek of the numbing ball.

As they speed poor humans home.
You spied for the Day and you lied for the Day.

Then strewed His seas with the CHASTITY mine;
Not all the waters of the Rhine
Can wash thy foul hands clean.

Watch how the Day will go,
Slayer of age and youth and prime
Defenceless slain for never crime,)
Thou art stepped in blood as hog in slime,
False friend and cowardly foe.
You have sown for the Day, you have grown

Yours is the harvest red.

Can you the heap of slain that lies.
And sightless turned 10 the flame split skies,
The CLASSY eyes of the dead?
You have wronged for the Day, you have long

That lit the awful flame.
IT'S nothing to you that hill and plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the grain;
That widows mourn for their loved ones slain,
And mothers curse thy name.

For the sleepers under the sod
And He you have Knocked for many day
Listen and hear what He has to say

It's hard to be left when the regiments gone:

STRANGE ANIMALS TRAPPED
One Is From I4orth Pole Region and
the Other Comes From South
Anoerica

Lewiston, Maine.-The capture of
an Artic black fox near Jefferson,
Maine, and of duck-billed swan which
is South American bird, at Jones'
port, has caused creduIous folk to an
tictpate great climatic change soon.
Ages ago, according to scientists,
the North Pole was about where Salt
Lake City is now, and the Arctic re-
gions of today were in the tropics
These same scientists predict a sim
liar change at some future time. The
fact that the fox from the Far North
bird flew north, is interpreted by some
as sign of the revolution However,
a majority of the people are not worry
ing, but they are wondering why the
bird and the animal strayed from their
usual habitats.
Rich Hunnewell of Auburn trapped
the Artic black fox near Jefferson.
1t was beautiful animal and the fur
is said to be very valuable.
One of the crew at the life-saving
station at Jonesport wounded the duck
billed swan and captured it. Apparent
ly the bird recovered from the injury.
1t was purchased by c. H. Mansfield of
Jonesport and has become a pet. It
will eat out of his hand and follow him
about the yard. 1t is thought to be a
young bird, for it has grown about
one-third since its capture.
Chairman Wilson of the Maine Fish
and Game Commission has sent a war
den to Jonesport to get an accurate
description of the bird in an attempt
to identify it.
w. H Folsom of Auburn, while snow.
shoeing on a lake near his home, saw a
huge bird fly overhead and swoop into
the woods. He described it as being
a glossy black with a white mark on
the wings and ruff of white feathers
around the neck. 1t had a huge
curved beak similar to an eagles or
hawks except that it was much larger.
The spread of wings seemed to be
about ten feet. The description leads
to the conclusion that the bird is a
South American condor, or black vul.
ture OF the Andes Mountains.
