Caribou, Me-, Oct. 24.-The farmers
are storing a large number of potatoes
now and some of the buyers are filling
I'D the potato houses with So potatoes.
The present price is $500 and an ex-
pected higher price in few days is ex-
pected to occasion a larger export OF
Aroostook's chief crop than has been
noted thus far this fall. Many farmers
are holding on to their harvest WIN
Jealous hands and are determined 10
do SO till the price reaches the $3.oo
mark. Such a price is unheard OF by
many, but it is fully expected before
the holidays, and a much higher price
is looked for after that time.
Some of the farmers have not gath
cred in their whole crop yet, one man
heing so slow as to allow so acres
to remain in the ground. The cold
weather of Wednesday caused the
ground to be so hard that digging was
impossible until well into the day. anu
II is thought that those who have any
notatoes in the ground now, Will lose
at least half the crop.

EvAD|NG THE "JACk-
ING" DEER Law
IN maine WOODS
maine woods)

Thu following item from the Bangor
News of recent date is interesting and
the writer Of the article had evidently
never read Oh. ITO Public Laws 1915
which distinctly says there shall be
no night hunting.
THE law in part is as follows Section
1. There shall be q closed season on
wild birds in this state from sunset to
sunrise Of the following morning. and
on wild animals from one hour after
sunset until one hour before sunrise Of
the following morning, during which
closed season it shall be unlawful to
hunt. kill or destroy wild birds or Wilt
animals Of any kind"
I'VE do not believe there is any wide
spread use of the INTERCHANGEABLE
method mentioned in this article but
each warden should see that his section
is free from such hunting. The item:
AN automobile containing a liberal
display of big game which was brought
down from northern Maine by the
party in the car attracted much at
tention at the Bangor House on We'd
nesday morning. In addition to two
bucks. there was big black bear. The
party had been in the vicinity Of OK
bow and had met with good luck with
out question.
1.-THE up-to-date method of hunting
is by automobile at night. and this no
doubt accounts for much Of the game
killed. The powerful lights act as Jacks
TO fascinate and dazzle the game.
which is Of an inquiring mind and likes
to investigate the source and cause Of
strong lights. While there is a law
against lacking deer, there is no law
forbidding an automobilist from using
his headlights at night and there is
no enactment forbiddding the shooting
Of game from an automobile. Bears
and deer have been often encountered
on the highways in the woods at night.
and II the occupants Of the machines
are prepared they can do great execu-
ton.
"Some of the new style pocket elec-
trio lights, formerly called fash lights.

can be worn in the hat or cap. being
listed as musicians lights but it is
said that they have been quickly
adapted for use in lacking deer"

The Battle Of the Lone Corporal.

From the firing-line on the western
front. by way Of Ottawa. Ont, comes a
tale of individual fighting efficiency
SURPRISING anything of the kind known
to this or any other modern war. Ac-
cording to "the official eyewitness" a
Corporal Of an Eastern Ontario battal-
ion. in an attack on the trenches, with
stood single-handed a party Of twenty
two Germans, and having killed or
wounded all but one of them. made the
Job complete by taking the survivor
prisoner. In the words OF "Eyewit-
ness's" thrilling account. the Corporal
emptied his revolver, picked up first
one and then another German rifle:
shooting the two officers and 10 OF
the men. One Of the officers attacked
him with a bayonet and pierced him
in the leg below the knee. but the
CORPORAL shot him dead. The rest Of
the enemy attempted to escape. The
Corporal shot four and made the hfth
a prisoner.
So the old heroes Of romance fought,
looping off heads with each stroke OF
their trusty blade. In this plain Cana
dian Corporal lives another Roland and
Oliver in one, a later paladin whose
trigger finger is worth whole troop
why are we left in ignorance OF his
name or that Of the author OF the
moving tale? This is not the way Of
K,pling and Rider Haggard. They per-
sonify their fictional heroes and idento-
fv them with their fame" Eyewitness
sno;ls his story with a foolish censor
.hin with a gift for romance Dumas
would have enyied and hero worthy
If the Musketeers, he wells both under
a tantalizing anonymity.
The Kopenick shoemaker who made
a laurhing-stcck of militarism lives in
history, and certainly as much person
al publicity is deserved by the Corporal
who Is a whole fighting force and fir
ing-line in himself.
