GETTING AFTER GERMANY

The Allies are really getting their
dander I'D and are this time deter
mined to show Germany that they
intend to get their just dues and make
old Deutschland pay; and she will
have to hand over more than might
have been necessary if she had only
been a wise old country. accepted her
defeat graciously, and responded to
reparations demands to the limit of
her recognized ability.
Marshal Foch with military and
economic aids has already completed
plans for the occupation of the Ruhr
region and industrial centers on May
first, which plans will be submitted
to Premier Lloyd George Immediate
ly. Following the submission of plans
a date will be set for the reparation
conference to which party the United
States will be invited.
When the Ruhr district is occupied
a customs barrier cutting off that re-
gion from the rest of Germany will
make German consumers forced to
pay more for the coal which they con-
sumo. The Echo de. Paris as quoted
by the Boston Herald states that a
tax in gold marks on every ton of
coal produced in the Ruhr, whose
production totals about 10000, 900 tons
will be imposed. 1t is hoped that
economic pressure thus sustained will
result in at least an acceptance of
reparations terms.
Then in order to collect accounts
customs receipts and the money gath
cred in from the tax on coal will be
turned over to the Preparations fund.

tons. mo goods being allowed to go

Spray Your Trees
Apples To Be Scarce

Orono, April 24-In view of the re-
ports of great damage to orchards of
the South and Middle West, due to
the freeze the last week in March, 1T
behooves Maine farmers to give es-
pecial care to spraying their trees and
grading and marketing their apples,
for high quality fruit is likely to bring
good prices next fall.
This is the opinion of Prof. H. P.
| Sweetser, head of the department of
! horticulture at the University of
Maine. He has just received letter
from a big fruit farm at Waynes-
| boro, Va, asking if he knows any
orchardists in Maine who would like
to hire some expert fruit men this
summer.
I'VE have gang of men gotten to-
Cether by a series of Examinations
over period of years, that are ex-
perts in the apple growing game" the
letter says. I'VE have trimmers,
truck and tractor drivers, sorters.
packers, etc. These men have worked
for us years and we cannot afford
to let any of them go. On the other
hand, there is no money coming in
from the 1921 crop, because of the big
! March freeze, and we are looking for
way to turn into cash our knowl-
edge of the business"
Speaking today of the experience of
the southern and middle western or
chardists and it's effect on the New
England fruit markets, Prof. Sweet
ser said
1T is true, of course, that many of
the states affected by the freeze pro-
duce apples that appear in the mar
kets earlier than most of the varieties
grown in Maine, yet those states al
ways supply sufficient late fruit to
make quite an effect on the markets.
Last year, for instance, Virginia
shipped TOO cars. During the first
week in this month 25 cars of apples
were shipped from that state, in com
parison with 20 cars the correspond
ing week last year. West Virginia's
Shipment in the same week this year
amounted to IA cars, as against 21
cars the corresponding period of last
year.
Maine should make a special eff
tort to increase not only her yield.

Years Success of
Honor System in N. j.
County WOrkhOuse

Wilmington, Del, April "a. A
prison where every man is on his per-
sonal parole day and night; where
guards are few and rules are rarely
broken; where life-termers work I'M
guarded outside the prison walls and
where punishment, when needed is de-
cided on and administered by the pris-
oners-this is the New Castle County
Workhouse, IN the outskirts of this
city, where a remarkable experiment
| in penoiogy is being carried out by a
over are being driven to crime by eX-
listing prison methods.
The New Castle County Workhouse
this month rounds out IT'S first year
under the direction of Mordecai S.
Plummer, the warden who instituted
the "honor system" in May 1920. There
are today 337 prisoners. slightly more
than half of them colored
Mr.. Plummer believes that crime is a
mental affection and that men can be
cured by proper treatment. He be-
lieves that 95 per cent of the men in
prisons are morally sound and that
only per cent are "incurable." 1t is
his theory that kindly and human in
terest shown in prisoner inspire him
with the conviction that society is his
friend, not his enemy and that he will
respond by becoming a useful member
of society. In a recent address to the
State Legislature in behalf of parole
law similar to the one enacted in Wis
consin, he declared:
Most jails are schools of vice, hot
beds of disease, leprous, foul and i'm
moral, where abnormal conditions per-
vert and unbalance the mind, where
men become mere elemental beasts
and where initiative and energy is
Slapped"
In the carrying out Of Warden Plum
mer's theory, the internal affairs Of the
workhouse are administered by the
prisoners themselves. through an
''honor committee of eight men,
whose chairman is man serving IS
years for manslaughter and which in
cludes on it's membership three life
termers" There are various sub-com-
mittees on cleanliness, morals, recrea-
ton and other matters.
A prisoner who breaks a rule is re-
ported, tried by the committee, which
sits every night, and punishment
meted out. This takes the form of
partial withdrawal of privileges and,
in extreme cases ostracism by the
other prisoners, which it is declared, is
the punishment felt most keenly. The
culprit is represented by counsel at
these hearings and may appeal to the
warden, but rarely does.
There are now only six guards in
the institution. These are in the
main stationed at the doors and carry
the keys. The prisoners have their
meals and recreation without a guard
present, do their work unguarded and
leave in patches for work on the sur
rounding farm with one of their own
number in charge. In the tailor shop,
$50 men work all day long under the
sole supervision of men selected by
themselves.
The prison is scrupulously clean.
The men have band of c5 pieces. a
glee club, two baseball teams and dra-
matte societies. They are allowed
visitors at any time when it will not
interfere with their work, and may be
| seen in the corridors near the entrance

Sues for Malicious Prosecution

For the second time, the suit for
malicious prosecution against Mer-
ton G. Staclkpole of Durham, brought
by former selectmen of the town, was
opened Friday morning in the su-
preme court in Auburn. At a
previous trial a verdict was returned
for the defendant, but the case went
to the law court and a new trial was
granted. The events which led up to
this suit transpired at the March
town meeting in Durham and all
hinged on whether the legal resi-
dence of William f. Lent was in
Durham or in Lisbon.
