an extent by the progress OF the
Conference toward what he
chooses to call real disarm-

questions. The work Of the Con-
ference, he'thinks, would be dis
co,lraging, ii it adjourned With
out barring, by terms OF the treaty

gases and other "barbaro'lS
weapons OF warfare.
We Lave heretofore given as

were perfected just prior to the
signing OF the armistice-would
have encompassed such fearful
loss OF human life that the
civilized world would never
again have consented TO the en-
ployment OF War under any pre-
text.
When war becomes national
suicide it becomes national SIN; 1t
violates an unmistakablc precept
OF the Almighty. The old legal
MAXIM that the king can do no
wrong" in other words that the
sovereignty cannot commit. crime,
docs not apply in this instance.
Crime is a violation of human
law; but sin is the breaking OF
divine law.
The rule OF any war is to Kill

with the least loss to yourself.
No soldier in history would have
hesitated to use every means III

too serious loss, and have thereby

hours to accomplish, and when
perhaps total annillilatlon would
overtake both sides, war is re-
duced to suicide, and therefore
utter folly.
Ii Senator Borah is seeking to
make war merciiul; or if he IS
seeking to make. it comparatively

So long as it in any way meets

Practical Hints to Motorists

The Kennebec Journal recently pub
lished very interesting story about
what the Maine Forestry District
thought the attitude should be of
motorists toward our forests on the
plea that ''every motorist in Maine
has personal interest i'll the preser-
walton of it's trees and forests" That
it attracted the attention and ap-
prevail of the automobile owners and
operators has been shown by the fire.
quent remarks since heard-all COM
mandatory.
Forest Commissioner Samuel T.
Dana had an idea in connection with
the facts and statements made in that
interview and has arranged to have a
neat little leaflet, entitled Forest
Facts for Motorists distributed
throughout the State through the
Secretary Of State Frank w. Balls
department, a copy being enclosed
with every automobile operators IL
cense that goes out from the Auto
mobile Registration Bureau. When
you note that up to Nov. &c last 95,-
1923 licenses had been issued. it will
be seen that the plan is a good one,
as the coming year will undoubtedly
go over 100000.

inmate the expense OF buying grain
and also save considerable time in
carting. In the spring. due to this
large saving in fertilizer bills, labor,
etc. they will have more cash in their
pockets and safer surplus.
"In some communities, as has been
the annual custom, the packers are
claiming considerable acreage,
which, according to the reports of
farmers living in those sections,
seems to be without fact.
due to small acreage, many fac
tories were operated in 1921 at loss
to the packers. 1t has been stated
factories will not be opened in the
1922 season, without a considerable
increase of acreage over 1921.
For many years the farmers have
been crying for relief from system
which had been carefully woven
around them, in which marketing of
the products of their hard labor was
entirely out of their hands. In these
days Of readjustment the farmers are
determined to readjust the condi-
tons under which they had been OBJ
liged to buy and sell, and to-as far
as possible eliminate individual bar
gaining which has been so detrimen-
tai to their interests.
ut is so plainly evident that the
movement already started in the way
of collective observation-disclosures the
cooperative and marketing associa-
| tions-has brought about conditions
which are causing alarm among the
combination Of interests which have
reaped rich harvests between the pro-
ducers and the consumers.
ut is to be regretted that small
percentage of the sweet corn growers
of Maine fail to see the wonderful
opportunity given them through the
| Sweet Corn Growers Association to
get what actually belongs to them as
; producers-and yet not increase the
cost of the product to the consumer,
as the extremely small amount re-
!quested of the packers would only add
] to the cost of each can one-half to
three quarters of a cent per can.
! ut would be very interesting to the
| producers and consumers, if someone
would explain what becomes of the
difference between cents. which is
the approximate cost to the Gamer,

STATE HOUSE

Willis Z. Parsons of Foxcroft, com
missioner Of inland fisheries and
game. said Friday that in some sec
tions of the State complaints have
been received of the inadvisability of
continuing the semi buck law" SO
called. owing to the fact that it was
feared that some does, fawns or
spike horns had been killed by hunt
ers and left in the woods.
I'm few instances where hunters
have made honest mistakes they have
manfully brought out their deer, de-
livered them to the department and
made a frank statement to the COM
missioner or warden" said Commits
sioner Parsons. such cases where
it was evident that the hunter was
acting in good faith have been dealt
with much more leniently than cases
where deer have been shot under
such conditions and left to spoil by
hunters.
while this amendment to the law
was enacted by the Legislature large
ly with the idea of protecting our
deer, another reason for its enactment
was for the prevention of hunting
accidents. The friends of the meas
ure believed that its provisions would
make hunters more careful, that they
would be sure of ascertaining what
they were firing at before they dis
charged their firearms, but judging
from the numerous accidents which
occurred during the past hunting sea-
son, it would appear that this meas
ure had not met the purpose of its
proponents.
with reference to this enactment
Tor the protection of deer, would say
that Maine was not alone this season

|. A complete understanding was eff
fected at the hearing before the
State Highway Commission Thurs
day at Portland on the building of
the Portland Lewiston road and the
large delegation which came by
special car from Lewiston and Au-
burn, left the meeting convinced that
there was no attempt on the part Of
Portland to divert funds from the
stretch of road between Portland and
Lewiston.
1t was made plain at the hearing
that the rest of the road between
these two points not yet under i'm
provement was to be attended to as
soon as time and funds permitted.
The position of the lewiston Au-
burn delegation before the meeting
was explained as opposition to one
city taking what rightfully belonged
TO another, and it was further
pointed out that every step would be
taken to insure the safety of the
funds appropriated for this purpose.
After the meeting got underway
the ice was soon broken and all en-
tered heartily into the proposition,
which was really one of mutual in
terest.
Commissioners Aver and Nelson
were present. together with Chief
Engineer Paul d. Sargent. The hear
ing took place in the small dining
room and the library of the Fall
mouth hotel, which was completely
filed with men from the up country

The Sweet Corn Situation
AS It Exists Today in Maine

Charles H. Crawford asked as tc
the present situation in the differ
ences between the association mem.
bers and the packers, said:
1.-THE annual meetings of practical
ly all of the local branches of the as
ISOLATION have been held and nearly
all the reports received at this Of
flee. According to the returns the
members of every locality are deter
mined to stand by the association to
the extent that a unanimous vote was
taken in nearly every case by which
the growers refuse to do business
with the packers except through. the
executive committee.
due consideration should be given
to the fact that for the past three
years the sweet corn crop has been
the best in it's history and that we
cannot reasonably expect another
such crop in the next two or three
years. According to reports from
newspapers throughout the country
the sweet corn pack was below the
normal in 1921 and the demand for
Maine packed corn has been very
sharp and without doubt no surplus
will be carried over.
IT have been informed from reliable
authority that Gamers are through
out the country placing orders for the
plate and specifying regularly against
old contracts, on account of the de-
mand for canned goods.
THE growers are fast coming to
realize that If ever anything is done
to make 1t possible for them to get
the cost OF production, plus a reason
able profit-which is the only thing
that makes the sweet corn industry
pessible-it must be done through the
Maine Sweet Corn Growers Associa-
ton. Many OF the larger growers
after the last seasons experience, in
which they did not plant sweet corn,
are satisfied that production In the
past has not been nearly as profitable
as 1t seemed. The fact was. that at
the close OF the growing season of
1921. instead OF finding themselves
without funds to pay the hired help
taxes. etc. they actually had as much
money left as after getting paid for
their sweet corn. They had made 1t
UP on other crops.
Many Of them. having large dair-
lee, have their silos niled with the
