"Such women are too worn out to
be the mothers of healthy babies and
too busy to give them the care they
need, once they are born. I believe
that some relief of the hard labor Of
the farms would produce very
smaller rate of babies, not only in
Aroostook, but in all rural Maine.
Public health work is developing
fast in Aroostook. Several nursing
services are already in operation, q

Armory Commission and !
Bonus Board to Meet Dec. 9

Adj,itant General George Mel.
Presson said Tuesday that the Armo-
ry Commission of Maine will meet on
Wednesday, Dec. at the State House
to consider the allotment for armory
rentals for the coming year. This
board consists of General Presson,
Col. A. e. Stearns of Rumford, Col.
Philip F. Chapman Of Portland, 1t.
Col. George Buker Of Bath and John
Trimhle Of Calais. ,l y.,,
The Soldiers Bonus Board of Maine
will also meet at the State House on
Wednesday to consider several per-
picking matters and make numerous
decisions. This board consists Of
State Treasurer Joseph W. Simpson,
State Auditor Roy L. Wardwell and
Adjutant General Presson. Said Cen
eral Presson:
1.-THE law forgot several things that
are found to be very important in
carrying out the laws provisions. For
instance: Suppose man from Maine
entered the service of the United
States and has never been discharged?
I can think Of one, a commissioned
officer, who is a native of Maine and
has never left the army, having been
on constant duty through and since
the war? He should be as much en-
titled to a pension as any of the boys,
shouldn't he? But the law does not
provide for his case.
"Then there is the case of the wife
of World War soldier, the soldier
having died and the wife has married
again. She has children by her for
mer marriage. Shouldn't those chill
dren benefit by the bonus-even
though the wife and mother has
plenty of provision for her own care?
"These and scores of other equally
perplexing questions are daily arising
and the board will formulate rulings
so far as they are able to under the
provisions of the law as it today ex-
lists"

Camden is the first to organize of the

Camden has a fine lot Of men in
the new company and can see that
they propose to make a go of it.
They are full Of interest and en-
thusiasm and will make the others
hustle to keep up to the standard
they are setting. : The company will
be ready for its State inspection on
Friday, Dec. 10. Lieutenant Colonel
George A. Buker of Bath will make
the inspection.
1.-THE Thomaston Coast Artillery
company will also soon be ready for
its inspection, as will the Saco COM
pany. Once the companies are or
gained, we will see friendly rivalry
among the various organizations that

gree Of excellence for which the

Game Law Violations

1t may have been noticed, and it is
the rule in cases Of prosecution for
violations Of the fish and game laws
that the offender If found guilty, paws
the fine imposed. 1t is therefore
noticeable when a man takes a. Jail
sentence instead of settling, ESPECIALLY
as 1t is sometimes the case. that
fine is suspended on payment of the
costs alone, on account of extenuating
circumstances. The following two
cases are thus noticeable, for the
chaps went to jail instead of settling.
Deputy Warden Arthur 9. Deag of
Dover reports to the Department of
Inland Fisheries and Game the prose-
cution of Omer Giroux of st. Zaxherie.

fore the Piscataquis municipal court
on Dec. last and found guilty. He
was fined 800 and costs taxed at
1855, but in default of payment of
same was committed to the county
Jail for 80 days.
Warden Napoleon ~. Rochon Of
Dover also reported the prosecution
OF Alfred Saulnier of Greenville for
killing moose in close time. Saul
nier was also taken before the Pts
cataquis municipal court on Dec. 4.
found guilty and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 and costs taxed at s27.
He also in default of payment went to
the county jail for 60 days.
Warden F. M. Bailey of City Point
was called to Searsmont last week to
investigate the killing of a large COW
moose on the Paul ranch He was
unable to learn the identity of the
culprit but is still at work on the
case. The carcass of the moose
weighed over 700 pounds ana was
shipped to the department at An
gusta. The meat had spoiled and
was worthless, on arrival. The hide
was sold for the benefit Of the State.

The Soldiers Bonus

General Presson said: II wish you
would say word more concerning

must not be impatient. It seems that
some of them expect to receive their
check by the first mail following the

blank. That is impossible. both
physically and in business sense.
Every case has to have close scrutiny
for we are paying out $4,000 of

THE TINES of July 13th has edt-
torisl under the title. Meat Prices
This editorial complains that prices of
meats have risen in spite of a smaller
consumption. and that the only remedy
Is strike against the eating of meat
This editorial assumes that the packers
are responsible for high meat prices
by referring to them as the richest
men on earth
In complaining about the high price
of meats. the writer Of this editorial
does not seem to realize that since the
year before the war meats have not
gone up as much the prices OF com
modities in general. and that within
the past twelve months. the prices OF
meats. at wholesale, have dropped sub
stantially. whereas the average price
OF all commodities has risen.
As for the alleged reduction Of meat
consumption. the truth IS that up
through 1919 the conspumtion OF meat
has been steadily increasing since
1914. II is true that meat consumption
has fallen Off slightly the past few
months because of q lessened supply
OF live animals, but the receipts of
live animals for the first six months
Of 1920 show a decline Of only per
cent. as compared with receipts for
the same period, 1919.
This editorial also overIooks the
fact that the profit Of the large pack
ers, including the return from cured
hides and other by-products. IS only
a fraction of a cent per pound on all
meat sold. In view OF this fact, 10
Is perfectly obvious that the packer
IS not responsible for high meat pr1c-
es- II should also be realized that

IN order to make up for the losses on
less desirable cuts The point IS that
high meat prohts are not caused by
profits, but by Increased costs. and by
other world conditions which affect
