81 BOYS BEFORE JUDGE
IN HALLOWEEN FRANKS

Thirty-four representatives of young
America lined UP in the municipal
court Thursday afternoon before Judge
Atkins to answer tine charge Of mali
cious mischief and destruction of prop
erty. which took place in Randolph on
Wednesday evening
Certain it is that the boys did not
realize, when they first appeared be-
fore the court that the charge was a
serious one, but nevertheless it was. 1t
is to be hoped that after the talk the
judge gave them they came to a little
fuller appreciation Of the fact that
they had infringed on the rights of
others and done something that was
wrong, as the sidewalks are the prop
erty Of the town and willful damage
to them is lawlessness; that the TAX
ing Of persons property, whether it
be a watch or a lawn swing, is theft
that the placing of distractions on the
sidewalk is interfering with the rights
of others.
The judge dealt leniently with the
boys and even kept their names from
appearing on the police court records.
fact which the boys should appreci-
ate. After promising to undo the mis-
chief they had done, as far as posi-
lie the boys were allowed to go. The
ra1nes of the culprits were taken and
should any appear again in court on u
like charge they will not get off SO
easily.

LABOR famine IN
Maine WOODS CAMPS
WAGES VERY HIGH

Bangor, Me Eov. MAN hunting
on a systematic and organized scale
is in progress today all through east
ern and northern Maine. Never be-
fore have the lumber camps been so
hard pressed for woodsmen and rival
bosses are stealing axemen, swamp
ers, teamsters, cooks and cookies from
one another with cheerful abandon.
The adage that necessity knows no
law is gaining new force throughout
this section -of New England.
Unsklled men are being paid from
$35 to SIS a month 10 work in the
woods and large numbers of them are
being shipped into he State from Bos-
ton and other cities. Woe betide the
careless manager in charge OF these
parties OF woodsmen for, unless he

some other operation now is to provide
transportation over the rough woods road
on tote team. Usually the men from
the city will jump at a chance for ride
into camp. little reckoning that a tote
team is innocent Of springs and that rid
ing on one is much harder than walking
for an equal distance.
So serious is the labor shortage that

tracts for cutting a certain amount of

appears no prospect that cond.ions In

the outlook is that they will be worse
should the war continue for long time.
The large portion Of the shortage of
man power ju thc Maine woods Is due to

fact tat high wages can be commanded
