AGAINST SHERIFF

Lewiston, Me-, May 26.-Accordi,,

of the Auburn W. c. T. L.. and Stat.
superintendent of the department a,
prison and Jail work. at the closr,
session of the Androscogsin cour,,
convention in Greene Wednesday.
Mrs. Darling of Auburn, superin,
tendent of the prison and Jail wor.
in Androscoggin county, was unah.
to be present and Mrs. Boies spoke y
her place.
1t is understood that Mrs. Bois
said that Sheriff Davis has forbid

has had the privilege of distMhutir,
literature to the men in prison to

1t is further understood that Mrs

The situation was discussed al con-
siderable length by the white rihbon

Sheriff Davis was called on the TEL

PLANTATION of the situation is simple
He says that sometime ago the regu
lar Jail chaplain told him that tht
attention of the prisoners was distract
ed from the regular service by tn
literature which the w. C. T. L. vO
men distributed.
Therefore, the sheriff asked that tn
literature be left with him that i
might be distributed as the prisoner
came out of regular service. rattle
than during the hour Of worship Thi
seemed a reasonable solving Of III
problem. There is no desire whateve
on the part of the sheriff to deprive
the prisoners of this literature or any
thing else, within reason, that friend
may see fit 20 send.
AS to the fear that files or KEY

that he hadn't noticed that any prls

SHOWS OF PARK
BUCKED BY AUTO
MOTORIST TRAVELS SIXTY MILES
THROUGH TEN INCHES OF
THE BEAUTIFUL.

Travelling 60 miles by automobile
through 10 inches of snow, over an
unbroken trail, was the method used
by Sam P. Eagle, postmaster at Vel
lowstone, the western entrance to the
country, recently, according to Mr..
Eagle. One small drift caused a
stop, but no digging was necessary.
In returning within a few days,
the postmaster expects to cover the
stretch through the park travelled by
the automobile, on skis. In the
country around Yellowstone skis are
used almost exclusively for winter
travel, and until the present winter
sleds-generally dog sleds-have
been used to transport mails and
goods.
Stage Coach to Go.
According to the visiting postmas-
ter, there is every indication that
the stage coaches, which form the
picturesque, but ant1qusted, can of
travel for many park tourists, will
next season be supplanted by auto
mobile coaches. The experiment of
admitting privately owned automo-
biles into the park has been so sue
cessful that the government appears
willing to permit the transportation
companies to change from the horse
to the motor vehicles, providing there
is a single operating company.
Roads Good.
Because autos were admitted to the
park the country near Yellowstone,
which is the terminus of the Oregon
Short Line road to the park and the
entrance point for the greatest num-
Der of tourists, has undergone a good
roads boom in the past two years, Mr..
Eagle said. Leading from the limits
OF Yellowstone, which is on the park
border, sever miles of macadam road
has been completed by the govern
ment, and six more miles is graded
and will be finished before the park
opens in June. There are now five
roads leading into Yellowstone, and
three of these are accessible to auto
lists. The scenic Gallatin road will be
in good condition when the park
opens and the roads up the Madison
river by way of Grayling and Henry's
Lake are in first-class shape.
To Throw Off Forest Control.
On a visit to the east, which Mr..
Eagle expects to make within a few
months, a determined effort will be
made by him and other residents OF
the little park town to have the town
incorporated and removed from the
control of the forest service. At pres
ent, residents of Yellowstone are han.
dicapped to a very large extent be-
cause they are compelled to lease the
lots upon which their places of bust
ness are located and there is no way
of obtaining title to them under the
present conditions.

H MORE AUTOS

EVERY TIME AN AUTOMOBILE
DISPLACES A HORSE AGRI-
CULTURE is HELPED.
There Are 5000, 900 Horses in the
United States, and Each Horse
Consumes the Forage Grown ON
Five Acres; the "Buzz Wagon
From a New Angle.

Every time an automobile dis
places a horse, five acres of land are
added to the agricultural area of the
country. Among the economic influ-
ences of the motor car, this is one
phase that is commonly overlooked,
according to P. w. Hall of Butte,
Manager for Montana of the Boss
Rubber company.
There are about $4,000, 900
horses in the United States, and each
horse six to seven tons of
food a year. 1t is easily figured that
an average of five acres is required
to- furnish food for each horse. This
means a total of 13u, 900 acres
of land devoted to pastures and rails
ing hay-20O,0 900 square miles. This
means nearly five states as big as
Ohio, or an area larger than Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, devoted
to feeding horses instead of people"
says MI. Hall.
"Of course, the releasing of all this
area from pasture uses and making
1T available for the support of popu-
lation will be a tremendous gain. In
a dozen other ways the automobile
is adding more to the wealth of the
country, relieving urban congestion,
making men more efficient. The au-
tomobile has done more to bring let
ter roads than all other influences
combined, and in this it is stabilizine

The female is illOgical-her reason
ings unsOund;
She'll drive her a and eve
know what makes the wheels
go round;
The man is SO cOnceited no instruc-
ton will avail
So the female of the species learns
more quickly than the male!
IT'S no easy job to teach an adult
human being how to drive a motor
car. 1t is difficult to teach a woman
to drive because women, as a rule,
haven't the slightest conception of
the mechanical principles of motor
car construction and operation. 1t is
difficult to teach a mai to drive be-
cause the average man is so blamed
cocksure of his ability to learn all
there is to know about principle, con-
struction and operation in one brief
demonstration, and SO conceited about
the great mass of transformation he
has acquired in the weeks just pre-
vious to the day he purchases a car,
that he is generally a hopeless prop
osition.
The only people who learn to drive
quickly and we'll are little boys and
girls; because they are not c~onceited,
they listen to your instruction, they
have unbounded faith in your ability
to teach them, and they are capable
of learning about eight and nine
tenths times as fast as the adult.
They do what you tell them to do
without ilnpolitely interrupting you
to ask why they have to do 1t. They
concentrate all their attention on
the work at hand. And they listen
to you when you explain the mechani-
cal principles to them, and they keep
listening until you have made it all
clear to them. And in two or three
demonstrations they are handling the
machine with greater ease and grace
and efficiency than you are.
But not SO with the women. Let's
have a little heart-to-heart talk with
the automobile dealers about it. Here
Is what one says:
Women are much quicker in
learning to drive than men," saws he
"And, believe me, I'd rather teach q
woman any day than I would a man
The trouble with a man is, he knows
a little bit abo : mechanical prin.
ciples, and he tries to apply his
knowledge to every single operation
you are trying to demonstrate. He
delays the game. He wants to know
why before he knows how. A woman
will get into a car she doesn't know
a blessed thing about, and frankly
admit she doesn't know anything
about it. You can show a woman
what to do. 1t may take a long time
for she will make lots OF blunders
But on the whole, she's easier tt
teach because she is willing to learn.
