So Barrel for Potatoes Makes Difference

A So barrel potato market makes
some magical readjustments of circum-
stances and conditions in Aroostook.
The case of a man is mentioned to the
STAR Herald, who at the close of last
year found himself with a $4,000 fertll-
izer debt underpinned by an So, 900 mort
gage, and with nice little frills of floa t.
ing indebtedness all round the edges.
He raised 5000 barrels of potatoes, and
as result he has swept down all the
cobwebs of debt incumbrance, and has
enough to buy touring car and start a
fat bank account.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-FOrmer Unit : ca States Senator EIihu Root, in an article entitled "The New International Law" which he has written for the forthcoming issue of The Worlds Court" the official organ of the World Court League. advance copies of which were destroyed by fire today. expresses the opinion that there is ground for hope that from the horrors of violated laws a stronger law may come"
 When the European war is over MT. Root says. the desire to have some law "in order to prevent. so far as possible, a recurrence of the same dreadful experience. may sweep away all reluctances and schemes for advan- tage and lead to agreement where agreement has never yet been possible D
 The present war began. says Mr Root by the denial or the part of a great power that treaties are obliga- tory when it is no longer for the inter- ests of either of the parties to observe them"
 "The situation naturally raises the question whether executory treaties Will continue to De made II they arc not to be binding and requires con- sideratiOn of a system of law under which no conventional obligations are recognized.
 When this war is ended, the civil iZed world will have to determine whether law is to be continued as a mere code of etiquette or is to be the real body of laws imposing obligations much more definite and inevitable than they have been heretofore. It must be one thirg or the other. Vague and uncertain as the future must be, there is reason to think that after the terri ble experience through which civiliZa- tion is passing there will be tendency to strengthen rather than abandon, the law of nations"

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-General emi grafton to the United States after the war is improbable, according to reports made to Leon Sanders president of the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigration Society of America, and made public by him at it's annual meeting here to- day.
 "It may be otherwise with the Jews however" MT. Sanders said, owing to the especially unfortunate situation which the war has created for them. Nearly 6,00O,0O0 Jews are ruined in the greatest moral and material misery many of them are refugees dependent on the good will of their brethren.
 The society is dircting it attention, he reported, to the problem of distr- outing immigrants in the western states, so that immigration will not be concentrated in the east, but will flow normally to the less denSely populated districts. The society is in communi- cation with chambers of commerce and other important commercial bodies throughout the country, many of which have expressed their willingness to aid Jewish immigrants"
 Immigration on the Pacific coast has become unusually heavy, according to the report. Many refugees who made long journeys from Russia, through Si- beria and Manchuria, have arrived at San Frar cisco and Seattle

OATMAN SQUATTERS

Court Grants Writ in Behalf of 300 Settlers on Townsite
 in Noted District.

TUCSON, March 3.-A temporary order was granted yesterday evening by Judge Sawteiie of the federal court restraining the sheriff of Nohave county from enforcing a writ restitu- ton granted by the superior court of Mohave county to mineral claimants of land at Oatman, Ariz. The writ from the superior court would have the effect Of busting more thal 300 settlers on the Oatman townsite The hearing on the writ to make it a per manent injunction was set for March 13.

 In the action taken before the SUI perior court of MOhave county in the matter, the judge refused to fix bond to stay the execution of the writ. whereupon the townsite settlers
