 OUT FOR WILSON TO BE RETURNED
Admire President for His Con-
 structive Acts and Strong Policies.

New York, Oct. 11-According to Edmund T. Perkins, well-known Chi cago engineer, the majority of the civ il engineers of the country will vote for the reelection of President Will son because of the constructive achievements of his administration. MT. Perkins writes Chairman Vance c. Mccormick of the Democratic Ma tional Committee,
 'An administration that gets things done naturally appeals to men, who are builders and doers themselves.
 MT. Perkins has taken the initia- tive in organizing the Wilson-Marshau National Engineers and Architects Association. Isham Randolph, of Chicago drainage canal fame, and a member of both Panama Canal Con sulting Boards by appointment of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, is Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the new organization. W. H. Finley, Chief Engineer of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, is an active member.
 The National headquarters are in Chicago. An Eastern branch. will be opened in this city at once. Evidence is increasing every day that the substantial German-Ameri- cahs of the country do not sympathize with the hyphenized agitation against President Wilson.

notices are being daily received from
people in various parts of the State
of damage to sweet corn by raccoons.
This active little chap has great
fondness for that toothsome edible and
the inquiries are in the line of want
ing to know what the corn owners can
do in order to save some of the crop
for the humans who are also great
lovers of it.
The raccoons are evidently aware of
the protection recently given them by
the Legislature and are having the
times of their lives-but they should
be careful, because the depart is
answering all inquirers to the effect
that the law allows any person to kill
any wild animal or bird when caught
in the act Of destroying any crop

Those Escaped Coyotes.

Nothing more has recently been
heard Of the escaped coyotes over in
the Rangeley region, since the cap
ture and death of two of them was
reported. The other two are said to
have been a male and female, and
may or may not be together and plan
ming to pass the winter in the Maine
forests. 1t was said that one of the
undesirable critters" was seriously
wounded at the time of it's escape and
may have passed to another cline
which is to be hoped. The hunters
are in hopes that with the coming of
colder weater their efforts to tempt
the animals to their traps with the
choicest of bait will he effectuai and
thus free the State from all danger
from the increase in number of these
pests.
