Richard Bishop. an oldtown Indian. who has spent his summers at Old Or chard Beach for S2 years has probably manufactured more sweet grass arti- cles than any other one person in Maine has done in the same time. He says he uses 300 pounds of grass year. so in S2 years he must have used about 10000 pounds. Sweet grass now, he says, is very scarce. because so much of it is pulled up by the roots.

1t is said that four of~New York's
big dailies use as much print paper
as all the country newspapers in the
United States every week. The Chi.
cago Tribune used up 720 tons recent
ly for one edition. That's as much
paper as all the country newspapers
in Minnesota use in six months. It's
no wonder that there is such a scarce
ysof print paper and that the price
keeps soaring. The time will come
when the big dailies will buy up all
that Is manufactured and freeze out

BIG FIRE HOSE
COOLs MUTINY
War Department Admits
Conscientious Directors
Were Punished.

Charges that conscientious OBJ
jectors in prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan. are being Kept in
overcrowded and unsanitary cells
and have been subjected to mis-
treatment were denied yesterday by
the War Department.
Specific complaint that a FIRE hose
was turned on the prisoners April
%. the department stated, was true.
But, IL was added. this was done as
the most humane way of dealing
with ''riotous and mutinous groups"
and was resorted to only after the
prisoners had refused to keep quiet
and had been insolent to all at
tempts to quiet them.
About twenty-six conscientious
objectors. il was stated. were i'm
prisoned in the guardhouse.
They were kept there because they
had refused to work. and the prison
officials thought their example would
influence other prisoners IL they were
permitted 10 go at large around the
prison.
On the night OF April 3, il was stat
ed, after taps" the prisoners be-
came noisy, talking loudly and gen.
orally interfering with the sleeping OF
other prisoners. An order by guards
to keep quiet was ignored They we're
insubordinate and impudent, the de-
partment report says
The officer of the day o-de-ed 4
small garden hose turard on the cell!
The prisoners only became ,norv noisy
and insolent. il was stated
Then be ordered out a Rre hose.
This produced the desired result. After
nVe or six minutes the prisoners qui-
eted down and remained quiet. most
of them pretty thoroughly wet.
. Though several prisoners caught
cold. IL was stated. no other injury
or sickness resulted.
The wCttins down with a hose, 8"
the War Department stated. "is a
recognized form OF dealing with riot
Gus and mutinous groups. not only in
the army but in civilian institutions
and is resorted to as more humane
than other forms of violent repression
leading TO physical injury"

There were many other able. con-
