GRIT.

The Osler theory that human be-
ings are of no account in the world
of industry after they have reached
the age of sixty is pretty eTectually
disproyed in the case of the hardy
couple who got claim near Plaza,
n. d., some two years ago in the gov
eminent drawing. They were aged
seventy two and sixty years respec'
lively. Notwithstanding the discour
agements which they encountered they
hung on, and the fact that younger
and apparently more vigorous home
steaders sold out did not feaze them.
They broke up the farm, planted flax
the first season and wheat the next,
and the upshot is that they have net
ted thousand dollars year above
all expenses and will prove up and get
full title next year. There is no use
in throwing up the sponge just be-
cause ohe is approaching the fifty year
mark

TIE COST OF slLAeE.

Investigations which have been con
Quoted by the dairy division of the
United States department of agricul-
ture with a large number of silos 10.
Gated in various parts of the country
show that the average cost of growing
a crop of silage is S1.5S per ton while
the cost of putting it in the sllo aver
ages 81 cents per ton. This makes
the average total cost $2.45 per ton.
However, us showing that a great deal
depends upon the conditions prevail
ing in any given instance, including
yield, the cost of production and good
management on the part of the ndi-
vidual farmer, it is interesting to note
that the lowest cost of production was
$1.10 per ton, while the highest was
So.42. The investigators found that
the limits between which most Silage
was produced were $3.50 and $3.50.

That he was content to take the

proves that he has no pride of opin-

individuals who is content to accept
the inevitable and plug along Tor tenn

secured by all parties. He says
further:-
We do not believe in the open sal
Don; and we are as free to admit we
do not believe in universal prohibit
ton, or that part of it which would
prohibit the manufacture of liquors.
That part of it is the curse of the
whole platform II is as unreasona-
BILE as it would be to prohibit Mag

liquors to excess is no reason that
liquors are not an essential product.
They are essential incidentally and
mechanically and no argument is
strong enough to gainsay it. OF
course they can be dispensed with as
could any other product that is bene-
fetal to mankind. But should this be
done simply because a certain ele-
ment puts it to bad use? 1t never will
be done.
There is sound sense in this 1t
is the kind of sense that DR.. W. B.
Mayo of Mortified showed when he
told the House of Representatives
that there was a legitimate field for
alcoholic liquors in nursing and medi-
cine, a field which the legislature re-
fused to recognize when it submitted
the Perry bill to the people.

The point is that after IL years of

bered each island in the square con-

then prepared card index of all the
islands in numerical order Of the

This method definitely located a par
ticular island and avoided the confu-
sion caused by the fact that many of
the islands have the same name. With

There are on file in the State Land
Office copies Of deeds given by AIassa-
chusetts and Maine, and separate in
dex Of island conveyances. Massachu-
sets commenced deciding these islands
as early as 1880. designating them by
letter, and many of them have often
changed names since. these circum-
stances making the index of little use
in determining whether an island a.
known and designated on the maps to-
day was ever conveyed by Massachu-
sets or Maine.
In his research, Mr.. Simmons was
unable to find any works treating Of
the source Of titles to these islands as
whole, but was obliged to gather in
formation from various historical
works, acts and resolves. Mr.. Sim
mons found that a large number of
islands was conveyed by Massachu
sets before Maine was separated in
1920
1t appears that the first island con-
veyed by Maine was Sept. s, 1924. I'm

Islands. He finds that the year 1875
was an important one in the history Of
island legislation, for in that year
Maine started in earnest to get rid Of
all her islands. This was preceded by
some activity on the part Of the State
Land Office to determine what inter,
est the State had in these islands. ana
some preliminary research was UNDER
taken, but nothing like the extensive
investigation just completed
Among other things, Mr. Simmons
found that by Council order of Nov
II. 1876. there were 66 islands sold for
few dollars each. the price ranging
from Is cents to s445. Some "a ~

10 more between IS and SO. the whole

Iieyes this sum could hardly have paid
the expense of the investigation.
Under the acts of the Legislature Of
1876 and 1877 there were II islands
along the coast of Maine that were
sold, few being withheld on account
of the uncertainty of title. The is
lands in front of Washington County
were sold in blocks to seven purchas-
ers and the State received from the
blocks s251. The conveyances of 1877
ended the attempt by Maine to dispose
of all of it's islands. the Stare at that
time considering the task completed.
There are repeated calls for inform
alton about titles to Maine islands by
people who sojourn here in Summer.
Much information of value is contain
ed in the exhaustive report made by
Mr.. Simmons.
From the time of the large sales in
1876 and 1877 to the present time,
Maine has continued to dispose Of A
few islands from year to year. A more
settled policy has now been adopted Of
reserving the remaining islands for
public use.
The collecting of all the data rela-
tive to these islands has involved an
immense amount OF correspondence,
personal trips to the archives of Mas
sachusetts and number of visitations
to several distant points in Maine as
we'll as extended research among his
torical and legal volumes. All Of the
information, with the card index and
notes, Mr.. Simmons has now turned
over to the State Land Office at the
State House.
