Exssperating?

Some days it seems as If our laws
and our interpretations of laws were
destined not only to delay the. fair
play demanded by the masses, but
were actually adding to the unrest,
apprehension and anxiety. For, II
anything is exasperating 10 the pub
lie mind it is the discovery that pro-
visions Of Law or wise interpreta-
tions of "constitutionality" rob the
populace Of the hope it had Of cir
cumventing greed and trickery and
tnnocen:e Of conscientious scruple.
Is 1t any wonder that impatience is
manifest wher real progress has been
made (like the seizure Of fous mil
lion. five hundred thousand POUNDS OF
sugar boarded in Boston, to have it
deliberately undone by the learned
court O;ke the decision of Judge
Morton In releasing that sugar to
those who were keeping. it to aid in
perfecting tho proflteering pincers
now operating)-is it any wonder
that ordinary folk, who understand
only the injustice by which they are
bled. should find new hatred for legal
mockeries OF their hopes?
A Boston news report says:
Although the state department Of
health reported yesterday $4,000. 00e
pounds of food In storage. consisting
of about s.75p.0O0 pounds of butter
6.760,000 pounds Of meat, 4,750,000
POUNDS Of fisli and 100000 Gozen
eggs. and although director Of the

Lythgow. admitted that some CT the
eggs are likely to be sold as fresh.
instead Of storage eggs. steps toward
prosecution OF profiteeriug in food
sem to have been halted, the public
prosecutors having been discouraged
by the action Of Judge Morton in re-
leasing the 100000 pounds\of sugar
seized last week."
The public should exercise the
patience for which it is famous. re-
membering always that all these set.

William B. Haggett. foreman in the
machine shop at the Bath Iron
Works, was surprised few days ago
while cutting down a big oak tree at
his home, 81 Front street, Bath, to
find some human hair embedded in
the center. 1t was a grucsome find
and created considerable talk in the
neighborhood. After more or less in
quiry, Mr.. Haggett believes that this
hair was put in there many, many
years ago by someone who had faith
in the old idea that by cutting off
ones hair and embedding it in tree
would stop headaches. Examination
of the tree showed that someone had
bored into the heart Of the tree and
put in this good sized piece Of hair.
They then took tree nail and care
fully plugged the hole. With the
growth Of the tree it had become I'M
observaat. From the rings in the
strata Of the wood it was evident
that the hair had been placed there
about so years ago.

Mason county was asked to sell at
least two thousand dollars worth OF
Red Cross Christmas seals this Christ

county In the state.
In every bank lobby and in other
public buildings will be found booths
where young ladies' are offering these
little stamps or seals for sale. The
money thus raised through the sale of
these stamps will be used in the anti

Those who are today mailing Christ
