1t has been charged in the Legis-

ing held by several trust companies

Plenty Of LabOrers
Ready to Work on
Farms This Year

Washington, Mar 24-Farm labor is
relatively plentifxl this year. reports
from all parts Of the country 10 the
department of Agriculture were said
today to show. This situation, it was
declared, contrasts with year ago
when the labor supply in all sections
was far below the demand.
Wages for farm labor this year, ac-
cording to the reports show reduc-
ton from last year Illinois, Michi-
gan ard Indiana reported arm hands
plentiful, although wage demands
were higher than afrmers are willing
to pay.
New England reported the farm la
Dor supply more plentiful and wages
lower, ranging from around $40 to $50
per month for single men with board
or about 20 per cent. lower than last
year

AGRICULTURE

CLANS, oysters and scallops, milk
and bread took up the time of the
committee on agriculture, Thursday
afternoon.
Charles F. Marble Of Portland con-
Quoted the case for the proponents of
the measure, which would prevent the
watering or soaking of clans, etc.
II. M. Tucker, chief of the Animal
Industry Division, Department of
Agriculture, appeared for the bill to
require a 81 fee for registering milk
dealers. 1t is now without fee and
over 1000 licenses are issued annual
ly. The inspection work is varied
and very extensive and but one man
is on that work. The fees would give
one perhaps two, more, for the sum-
mer season.
Arthur Abbott of Augusta, dairy
farm proprietor, and Brooks Brown,
State dairy inspector. said the senti-
ment was almost universal for the
bill, as all dealers and producers were
in favor of better and more inspec-
ton work. to protect themselves in
competition and for the benefit of the
consumers. No opposition.
Walter M. Sanborn conducted the
case for the proponents of the two
bills for the standardizing of the
weight of bread and requiring bread
to be wrapped. An other bill, relat-
ing only to wrapping bread was
heard jointly. Mr.. Sanborn suggest
ed as to the weight proposition that
it be. amended SO that bread sent out
for sale should be of standard weight
as otherwise it might hit the house
wife who made a small loaf.
F. ]. Mack of Bangor. manager of
the Sunbeam Bakery, told of COM
petitors coming in with short weight
bread and thought that q standard
weight of Is or IS or "a ounces, with
multiples of a pound would protect
everyone from the baker to the con-
sumner. Trnest L. Hewett of Weber
e. Hewett, Augusta, Mr.. Dahlberg of
Bangor. Mr.. Stearns of Augusta, and
A. M. G. Soule of the Division Of In
spection, all endorsed the bill.
Cyrus n. Blanchard conducted the
opposition, saying his clients were
opposed to both acts and particu-
larly to the weight section of the
first bill. He called on J. J. Neissen
of Portland, Joseph E. Br3Aier Of
Portland, E. B. Harris of WAerville
and David Walton. all large bakers,
who explained at length why such a
law would work a hardship and in
justice to their business.

Tigers are protected in Sumatra, the
reason being that one of the impor-
tant industries of that country is the
cultivation of an African palm. This
palm was introduced sereval years
ago. and the wild hogs so enjoyed its
easily-obtained fruits and so thrived
on them that they increased and null
tiplied rapidly until they became a
perfect pest. Now. wild hogs are the
favorite diet of Samaritan tigers. there
fore the protection. But it looks like
a dangerous experiment.

"A Perfect Crime" at the johnson
Opera House Today

Allan Dwan's "a Perfect Crime"
his second production for Asso-
ciated Producers, combines the three
most enjoyable ingredients the
drama knows-keen suspense, bril-
liant humor and pathos. The pic
ture come to the Opera house for
run of two days. 1t is from the Sat
urday Evening Post story by Carl
Clausen.
Allan Dwan's pictures are first
and last an appeal to the emotions.
One has only to remember his other
productions. especially "The Forbid
den Thing" to be sure of this. There
are splendid groupings and settings
to delight the eye, but there is al
ways more-a deep knowledge of
human nature and the ability to
transplant it on the screen. Pathe
News and comedy follow today and

scription, is to be taken with some
