Maine Indians Fear Proposed =.
Hawkers and Peddlers Law

Peter w. Ranco representative of the
Penobscot Tribe of Indians in the House
is very much exercised over the act
which provides for licenses for hawk
ers and pedlars and in an interview
Saturday said he earnestly hoped that
the good lawmakers" do not include
the Indians of the State in this act, but
hopes they may be exempted. He is es-
pecially interested in the Penobscot and
Passamaquoddy tribes and said these
two tribes should be exempted from this
law as they are State wards and exempt
from taxes Such n law If passed would
prohibit the Indians from selling their
baskets unless they paid the $25 license
fee. which is too great burden for
them.
The Indians earn their way by max
ing and selling baskets, they have no
trade excepting the few that work in the
saw mills or factory work. The Indians
on the reservation make their living by
selling these novelty baskets. They go
to the summer resorts in the summer
time and into towns adjacent to where
they are camping and do a thriving
business in the sale OF their native
wares.
THE Indians are not making for
tune" said Rep. Rance. they are only
making their living and expenses and
if they were obliged to pay this excess
sive license, could not afford to go
about and solicit patronage" He said
the Indians were obeying these laws,
but he doesn't see why the Indians
should be made to pay such an excessive
license just to sell their handwork.
He pointed out that many Of them
have three or four children and basket
making and selling is the only manner
by which they can take care OF these
children. He hopes an amendment may
be added to the law go that Indians in
Maine who wish to sell baskets, be ex-
empted from paying the license

Crops on Wheels.

Bumper crops in New Jersey are
being put on wheels and rolled
right into the city markets, fresher
and faster this year than ever before,
and for the first time since the grow
ing of p%erishable products became an
extensive industry in the state the
farmers feel themselves to some de-
gree independent of railroad schedules
and freight rates.
Motor trucks have solved the prob
lem of fast delivery for Jersey farm
ers. Hundreds of big cars, some of
them with a carrying capacity Of sew
eral tons, have been put on the roads
between the farms and markets this
season. Many of these auto trucks
are owned by the farmers themselves,
having been purchased to replace
horses and market wagons.

LIMBS MADE OF CARDBOARD
Artificial Leg, Invented by Danish Doc
tor, Enables Wearer to Walk Soon
After Amputation.

A Danish doctor at a hospital in
Paris has invented a cardboard leg
which enables the wearer to go about
without crutches two days after his
limb has been amputated.
The materials used are two sheets
of cardboard about three-siXteenth OF
an inch thick, and bandages soaked in
a starch solution. After careful meas
urements have been taken the card
board is cut into what looks like two
peg-tops, which after being soaked in
the bath fold round each other and are
secured with bandages.
The principle is that of an egg in q
cup. and the patient a wear the leg
long before the wound is completely
healed. He can thus get air and exer-
else, which it is usually impossible to
obtain at this phase of his GONZALES
cence; also he has to suffer none Of
the Inconvenience of crutches, a stick
sufficing for his needs. The leg, prop
erly treated, lasts from six months to
a year, by which time a permanent
artificial limb is ready to be fitted.
