Jack the Deer Stalker was n tired
business man who each year went into the
woods for deer.
But each time he went his feet would
rebel against the pounding they received
on rocks and twigs and logs.
One year, however, Jack" went pre-
pared. He stalked a stag from dawn till
dark. When he returned fcot-sore to
camp. he removed his boots and heavy
socks. bathed his swollen feet in the cool
water of the creek. dried them and an
nointed them with a magic salve called
Turpo. Each day his return to camp

weeks behind the normal at this sea-
son of the year and in some places
much more than that. With the
earliest pieces just spindling out and
in very few cases where corn Is show
ing any silk and only so to SIS days to
the time when we may expect the
damaging frosts, it would certainly
look as if the very best growing
weather would be necessary in order
to mature the growing sweet corn in
advance of these frosts.
Il find that in some localities the
acreage is considerably diminished,
due in many cases to poor germi-
nation of seed and. in others to the
long period of dry weather at the
time Of planting.
"As a majority of sweet corn grow
ers usually put the fertilizer on at the
time of planting and by so doing
place a large quantity directly under
the seed, oftentimes the planter, not
working properly, fails to place SUI
hcient amount of soil between the
seed and the fertilizer. This fire.
quently causes injury to the seed.
Quite a good many acres of sweet
corn at present have a poor stand and
in several other cases the stand was
so light that the ground was har-
rowed up and sown to grain.
1T would appear at this time that
the crop could not possibly be more
than normal and it might be safely
frequent hoeing and keeping the corn
less. 1t will be necessary for the
growers to do everything possible to
assist the corn make rapid growth. by
frequent hoeing and keeping the corn
free from weeds and grass.
Although the price of sweet corn
to the consumer for the last two years
has been extremely high, can see no
prospect for a reduction in price in
the near future, as the manufacture
ers Of fertilizer indicate that the cost
of chemicals for 1921 will be more
than this year and there is no indica :
ton that the cost of labor will be any
less.
This certainly looks as though the
sweet corn growers will be obliged to
get larger price for their crop in or
der to stay in the business"

Moose Hunters Captured
Clever Work by Wardens

The State treasury was enriched
Wednesday to the amount of s454, the
same being fines of 5000 each. paid
by James A. c. Mason and William
Spinney of Danforth. for the killing
and having in possession of moose
in close time. The costs paid by each
defendant amounted to s27.
From reports of the wardens, the
following details relating to the in
vestigation of this case are taken:
It appears that the wardens had
suspicious that conditions were not
as they should be, and on Sunday,
July %, secreted themselves several
miles up on Baskahegan stream,
which stream is in Brookton and
Topsfield, in the county of Washing
ton. After the wardens waited there
quite patiently for some time, the
parties in question appeared in a
canoe. At first they refused to obey
the wardens' orders to come ashore,
but finally they stopped the speed of
the canoe and permitted the wardens
to search same, which resulted in the
finding of the carcass of a moose
/ therein.
Chief Warden Otis H. Taylor, Of
/ the Northern Washington District, in
which this offense was committed.
was Immediately summoned to Dam
forth to supervise the disposition of
the case, which resulted in the pay
ment of the fines and costs above
mentioned. The moose meat was
shipped to Commissioner Parsons at
Augusta nv Warden Whittier apd hoo
been sold to the Augusta House and
to Mr.. Patterson, proprietor of Tall
wood Inn at Maranacook.

Miss Evelyn Vassar

'''SS .vS'J' voSSos
Miss Evelyn Vassar, stenographer
for Major Thayer. told of taking the
dictated statement of Mrs. Nelson
at the Jail. Her condition was
weakened. She has grown worse
and I've staid with her often fol-
hours. Think she is honest and no,

seemed glad. l think her attitude
has changed and don't believe she
will ever have anything more to dc
with him. She says she is goins
back to England and get an annul.
ment of her De Bech marriage.
Major Thayer, in reviewing the
evidence, said Mrs. Nelson had done
wrong. for which he didn't defend
her Nelson had worked upon hel
belief SO that she thought she wa.
legally divorced from De Bech. but
the divorce was a New York court
decree. The De Bech marriage was
in London and that has never beer
recorded in France. She should not
have married Nelson. She was here
a stranger, in his grip and kind.
hearted to a great degree. He play.
ed on this feeling.
