GIVING TEETH" TO THE LAW.

One Circuit Judge in the western part Of the state
has come to the conclusion that the State prohibition law
has not sufficient teeth and he has bill prepared provid
ing penalty of five years in the penitentary for moon
shining and the further confscation of the land upon
which the still is found

and become law Gradually the people are awakening
to the fact that the liquor laws are intended to be obeyed
and there will likely be law made at this session of the
General Assembly giving he county courts jurisdiction in
whisey cases, and coupled with that law will be law
defining clearly the duties Of the local officers and
providing penalty for their nonenforcement of the law

'"Toddc Pupkins didn't know much
about ghosts and he probably wouldn't

only it happened to bother his boy

because the ghost made its home in an
old vacant house owned by Jimmic's
father.
"Thc ghost was n white figure seen
only at night. 1t showed itself at WIN
dowS of the empty house and walked
through the garden. If II person went
near the house the ghost waved It's
long white arms, gave awful groans
and chased the person away.
"Jimmic's father wanted to sell th"
old house. but when folks heard about
the ghost being there no one wanted to
buy it--that is no ono except old Hiram

Editorial Comment
The Road Drag
(Biddeford Journal)

In season and out of season, this
paper has sermonized on the advan-
tages of the split-lo drag as a prac-
teal implement in up to- date road
work
Considering the good work done by
the splitlog drag whenever and
wherever it is properly used, it is
nothing less than wonder that they
are not considered a necessity in
every highway district. The drags
are easily and cheaply made and they
require only man and a horse to
operate them. Drawn back and forth
over the surface of the highway after
rains or when the soil is moist they
prevent formation of ruts and de-
pressions which are the beginning of
the end of any improved highway.
There is no known reason why these
drags should not be more generally
used, except, perhaps, that their ad-
vantages are so obvious that nobody
thinks of them. Many miles of high
way in Maine have been improved"
and then permitted to revert quickly
to condition worse than. in the be-
ginning for lack of little work with
this very practical but much neglect
ed road implement

$4,055,000 according to a statement
given out by Arthur G. Robinson OF
Waterville who has just returned
from the Orient and who is organic
ing the campaign for the relief of the
stricken people of the East. That
sum, MIR. Robinson estimates, will
mean the saving of $1,000 lives.
OF the money sent to China, the
American committee has forwarded
$2,255,000. Eight hundred thousand
dollars has gone direct from con-
tributors and the American Red
Cross has appropriated one million
dollars for relief work in the famine
area to be expended under direct
supervision of it's own representa-
tives.
At least 100000 of the total
amount it is estimated has already
Chinese in the form of grain. mean
ing 100,000,000 meals. But so severe
is the famine that these meals have
had to be doled out sparingly, and
only to those Of the starving popu-
lation who are strongest and best
able to last the remaining months
until the next harvest. According
to reports from China a tremendous
ly increased volume of outside help
is needed if the Inhabitants of the
stricken provinces are to be kept in
physical shape to plant their crops
when the cold weather lifts. The
famine has now reached it's crisis.
All efforts of the committee,
which has now established branches
in all states of the country and in
the principal cities, are being direct
ed toward speeding up of con-
tributions. pointing out that a dollar
