The Maine Fish and Game Commits

for violation of the fish and game
laws that carries with it considerable
satisfaction to all but the principals
they doubtless regret at least. being
caught, The facts in the case are about
as follows
Warden William NJ. Adams of The
Forks caught on Nov. last Howard
Towle and Arthur Mcguire, both OF
Palmyra in the act Of Sunday hunting.
They had no defense, being caught as
stated. and promised to meet Warden
Adams on the following day in Bing-
ham and settle. Instead of keeping
their promise they left town, evidently
with the intention of evading the war
den.
Warden Adams learned of the mems
skipping and made his next move in
the game by pressing an automobile
into the service and persuing the chaps.
He kept on the trail until he overlook
and apprehended them in Hartland, re-
turning with them to Bingham, where
they were arraigned before Trial JUS
tice Rodbury V. Brown, found guilty
and fined $40 and 1928 each. They had
but $40 in cash with them, so paid that
on account and settled the balance
with 30-days note for $6s.46, secured
by bill Of sale Of some cows.
The department is pleased with the
Spromptness and thoroughness of War

kcfent notice has been given that the

How to Fisht High Prices.

A speedy return to the old fashioned
market basket will effect sharp re-
duction in the high cost Of household
commodities. according to Charles F..
Southland, instructor in salesmanship
in the Brooklyn night high school. Mr..
Southland was born on a farm. went
to the city in his youth to enter the
produce business and later became an
advertising man.
He has followed the newspaper arti-
cles on Inarke. conditions with inter-
est, and believes that solution of the
vexing problem of reducing the cost of
table necessities lies in the rejuven-
alton Of the market basket.
I'VE need more than anything else
to popularize the discarded market
basket or its equivalent" Mr.. South
ard said. III a woman wants pack
age Of matches costing cents, she
goes to the telephone. spends cents
for the call and causes the grocer to
spend more money for boy to take 1t
to her door.
Another important factor Is the
endless wrappings which envelop goods
today. Formerly a woman slowed her
purchases into a. roomy basket and
walked home with them. Now each ar
ticle must be wrapped and bound with
4wine, and hence the cost to the ulti-
mate consumer goes skyward.
II nave applied for a stand in the
Washington Market, and expect to get
permission from the superintendent of
public markets to deliver short talk
each afternoon on the value Of return
to the market basket. I shall go into
the butter and egg business, getting
my supplies from farmers by way of
the parcel post and selling with just
enough profit to make the investment

al ior the Journal which when inspecte 4
read something like this:
Wanted, SO speed law violators and will
ns-to-risk-your life operators to hurry
up and apply for 50 automobile licenses.
Asked what SO strangely worded an ad
meant, he remarked that the 50 ~u.,s
complete an even 5000 licenses issued
this year by the Maine department and
the snowstorm had so much interfered
with the registration that he was get
ting anxious about reaching that num-
Der.
When the laughter at the Journal man
for not landing real ad had subsidized
Mr. Davis stated that 2s,941 licenses had
really been issued to date this wear

1851 operators licenses had been issued
against 25,65S In all last year.

The letter recalls the recent article

corning the slow decay Of old Hurri-
cane as town and the loss of almost
her entire population, through death

No Election on Hurricane

It has been definitely settled why no
election returns have been receivd from
the town clerk of Hurricane Isle and the
story is briefly but well told by the
man who certainly ought to know the
facts, the town clerk himself, in the
following letter received Thursday by
Harold E. Donnell. the ballot clerk in
the Office Of the secretary of State:
