Of the casual camper.
Under the laws of the mother
Commonwealth. Massachusetts,, great
tracts of the lands of the province of
Maine were sold to private purchas-
ers long before the separation of
Maine from Massachusetts and to
academies and institutions of learn
ing, whole townships were presented
as future source of revenue.
SALEM ACADEMY AS EXAMPLE
For illustration. half township,
later called Houlton, was granted to
Salem Academy. in Massachusetts,,
and the only way that Salem Acad-
envy received any funds, the material
aid to an institution of learning, was
by conveying the land to private pur-
chasers, and under the theory of the
law brought with us in the Mayfiow-
er and obtaining to the present date,
if it happened that tract of land
contained upon its surface a pond
of less than 10 acres or a running
stream, the purchaser of the land
held just as good title to the bed of
the small pond or stream as to the
dry land within the limits of his pur-
chase, subject, however. always so
far as the running stream is con-
cerned, if it was navigable. to the
right of the public to use the same
as highway.
Such an answer is called in the
books a riparian owner and if the
stream were tioatable for logs or boat
able, any of the public whose business
would require the use of stream in
its natural condition for floating logs
or the passage of boats, had, and still
have, the right of passage along the
banks, where tow horses or men are
engaged in moving boats or driving
lumber. required only to use the banks
with as little damage to the riparian
owner as possible.
Now under the law the riparian
owner does not own the water flowing
over his land, except such quantities
as he may use for domestic purposes
and for the use of his stock, but he
can use it during it's flow over his
land as he chooses; he may lead it
where he will, he may pass it through
pipes to fountains or through O.
penstock to a mill wheel, provided
only that he return to it's natural
channel at the boundary Of his hold
ings such portion of the running
stream as he has not removed for do
meStic uses and for the use of his an
imals.
DEVELOPING WATER POWER
And up to the present time it has
been held to be lawful for the ripari-
an owner over whose land a running
stream tumbles into a cascade down
hill to enjoy the falling waters where
there is a beautiful waterfall, or if
confined within a mill pond and con-
Quoted through a mill for the genera
ton of energy, it is the right of the
owner of the land to enjoy the use Of
the water in his mill. And we say
that if dam has been erected and
mill pond and mill constructed that
this riparian owner is the owner Of
u developed water power.
Now right here. once more. it
should be clearly understood that the
owner of the developed water power is
not the owner of the falling water. 1t

Bueos Aires, October Tt is feared that Audley Heron Gosling, 17-year- -old son of Cecil GosIing, Brit ish charge d'affaires to the Czecho- slovakia republic in 1918, is dead in the wilderness of the Paraguayan Chacog.
 The boy left. Buenos Aires in Au- gust for hunting expedition into the Chaco with some friends. One morn ing. before breakfast he picked up his rifle and said that he was go ing on a short walk for game. When he failed to return the Indian guides. with the party. followed his trail for miles into the densest part of the Chaco. but neither they, nor any of the expeditions which have later secured the country have found any trace of the boy.
 The day was cloudy. and, it is be- leved that. perhaps in pursuit of game he lost his bearings Instead of returning into the camp, he plunged into an almost trackless country, devoid of water. At one place a tree was found which he had evidently climbed to find out where he was Although it is believed that he is dead, a search Is being made for him by the missionarie sand In dans of the region.

LOVE A LUxURYf

Love is a luxury. but also a ne- cessity, woman cannot do without" is the conclusion of Katherine An thony feminist. psychologist and well known writer. She speaks par ticularly of the independent self-suf- ficient woman who had notion that she can dispense with intimate rela- tionship and get along with the cas- ual personal contracts of job and club but her rule applies to femi- ninity as whole
 ITO put all of one's emotional ex- pression in the job is to subject it to an awful strain," she saysein Love. luxury or Necessity" published Tn she answers her own question ty proving-at least to her own satis- faction--that love is a dire necessity.
 "The romantic people who do not believe in love are seldom able to achieve the emancipation they profess to admire" she declares.
 Further along she has this to say: '.The ambitious girl is easily convert ed to the view that freedom means loveliness because this supposedly represents the typical attitude of the brave, strong man. There is cur rent superstition that men have no emotional needs, that only the femi- nine temperament hungers for affec- tion. The idea constitutes challenge in feministic age to the modern up- standing young woman. If her brother can be thus emancipated. why not she? The false idea that strength of character and force of will are based on sterility of the af- lection and aridity. of the emotions still stubbornly prevails. Yet 1t is no more true about men than 1t is about women; a heartless man Is just as abnormal as a heartiess woman.
 Love is the greatest therapeutic agency in the world. It is the great est corrective agency in the world: It is the greatest corrective of the exaggerated eccentricities of charac- ter that lead. in their extreme mani festations, to actual insanity. As 1t helps to prevent many kinds of mem tai disease 1t also helps to cure them

The man himself does not tempt Peggy, but his millions do, for she is woefully tired. and 1t is no slight task to keep up with the increasing needs of Pop and Eddie. who are now dressing and spending like real Hollywood stars
