NAMES wArERPowER.

According to the efforts in platform making both parties in Maine are taking good care not to definitely express their views upon the question of waterpower development. For a long time it has been pointed out that Maine Is not en- couraging such development to the ex- tent that it should. There is in fact a very strong feeling that Maine water power should be for Maine's benefit alone.
 The republican treatment of it, follow ing the disclosure that there were oppos- ing clements. results in the statement that the party will give it ''the careful and impartial consideration that It's i'm portance deserves" With the democrats the outcome was about the same when they demand that "all future develop ment must be under rigid state control"
 What Is to be the outcome of the geo logical survey plan for coordtnating the power systems along the Atlantic coast north of Chesapeake bay no one knows, but 1t Is evident that Maine can play an important part in connection there with If it will That it should be desir- ous of having industries within the state receive the benefit of the cheap power that may be produced there can be read fly appreciated, but it entirely overlooks the fact that such a utilization of its available resources in that direction is out of the question under present condi- tons and that being the case such re- sources are going to waste and will con tinue to do so until they are harnessed and use made of the power.
 Already that waste has mounted to vast figures and as long as Maine takes the selfish view it will continue to in- crease. Tn the meantime other states would like the benefit of that cheap power and could make excellent use of 1t to be the advantage of those in Maine having it for sale. While Maine might be expected to keep a string on it's power for state use whenever the demand is suf- f1cient to require 1t, 1t certainly takes a narrow view when it opposes anyone else developing and using what is now geinG to waste. If Maine felt the same about | it's potatoes as 1t does about it's water power a large acreage of the state would stand idle.

, conversation in which the natives were interested: the lyncfing of the five pris- oners who had been. taken from jail and murdered by an infuriated mob. This coupled with open threats of defiance against the governors edict that the guilty men must be punished. kept the town in a continual state of srnmering, seething unrest-punctuated by frequent statements that any state or government , official who tried to find out the names of the men implicated in the lynching would be shot on sight.
 Beck, apparently. wasn't in the least interested in the local turmoil He had been sent to Versa Tiles to sell insurance. and he was determined to sell it, no mat ter how many people he had to inter- view. The fact that he was a stranger led, of course, to immediate suspicion of
 his motives, and some two weeks passed | before he was able to allay this. | About the end of the third week mat 1 ters were brought to a head by reason of 1 a wire which Beck sent to New York. a l despatch which was in code and which caused the operator to spread the report l that the Fife insurance agent" was a de- 1 tective in disguise. Getting wind of this, i and realizing that he must take some
 radical step to offset suspicion, Beck ap-
 preached the man who appeared to be LIl0 leAQeT or the JrOUDI6 IaEt1On. The i agent explained to him that he was get 1 ting tired of the quarters at the hotel

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Lady Astor, who sails today to attend the Baltimore convention of the League of Women Voters, has become so widely known as the first woman to sit in the British parliament that the fact that she is an American born and bred has been almost lost sight of. Her girlhood days were spent down in Old Virginia, where she and her favorite hunters were fa- miliar objects about the countryside near Richmond. She was one of the five daughters of the late Col. c. D. Lang horne, who belonged to one of the first families of the Old Dominion All of the daughters were famous for their beau ty! Miss Mamie Langhorne, the pres ent Lady Astor was the third daughter of the family. In 1897 she was juar- ried to Robert Gould Shaw, member of prominent Boston family, whom she divorced in 1903. Three years later she was married in London to Waldorf As tor, oldest son of William Waldorf (lat- CT Viseount) Astor. Upon the death of the latter in 1919 the son succeeded to his fathers title and the former Mamie Langhorne became Lady Astor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Against Bottled MIR.

MT. Editor: In the report of the cham Der of commerce meeting held last week, l saw that they. were again planning to rneddle with the milk supply of Norwich. This time it is bottled milk. would like to know how milk in a bottle Is any cleaner than milk in a can? The typhoid fever recently in Norwich came from bottled milk I understand.
 I know a farmers wife can wash 10 or 20 milk cans clean every day, but she cannot wash 200 or 300 milk bottles a day. If milk is sold only in bottles know that clean people will get milk out of dirty bottles; they always have. prefer milk from a clean can rather than from a bottle which has been in home where there is sickness. It would cause the price of milk to jump three or four cents a quart, and with wages reduced. it is cheaper milk and not dearer milk We need. It seems strange to me that a few men will get together and call them selves a committee, and start out to tell everybody what they should do about things that they know nothing about. Ii i is time that the people of Norwich woke l up tu what they are trying to put over | on us in the name of health. If the l chamber of commerce has ever done any thing which has benefited Norwich have never heard of it. I hope they won't exist long enough to force us to use bottled milk against our will.

THE BASEBALL SEASON.

The weatherman has been doing much with his warm spell to give encourage ment to the great army of baseball fans in anticipation of the opening day of the 1922 baseball season. It is true that the amateurs have beaten out the profes- sionals by at least two or three weeks but for the next six months the race iR the two big leagues eliminating In the worlds championship series will be on and one of the most popular sports of the country will attract It's scores of thousands each day.
 Each season invariably marks the passing of some of the old time favor ties and always marks the rising of some new star. Following the, training sea- son spent in southern cities the respec- tive teams should be in fine fighting trim for the opening, though it cannot be ex- bected that they would show midseason form until the hot weather has gotten in it's work.
 This great national game has an un- Tinted number of devotees To the dyed in-the-wool fan there Is nothing that can quite come up to a first class ball game while there are plenty of others who can think of nothing better than an after noon on the bleachers.
 For the purpose of restoring such con fdence in the game as was lost by the action of certain players in throwing inn portant games baseball has been under a singl headed commission. Judge Landis
 even while occupying the bench, has done much to make it understood that
 the game must be kept on the level, but
 now that he Is to devote his entire at.
 tention to deciding baseball disputes the
 effectiveness of the commission should bt
 more clearly demonstrated than ever.

Av AID TO SAFETY.

Without any question one of the effec- ave means of bringing certain users of -he highway to a proper regard for the rights 0f others IS that legislation whick has been adopted ln certain states giv- Ing authority to the motor vehicles com missioner. or a corresponding official, 10 lake away the license of those drivers 1f automobiles when conditions have de- veloped which show that such a course is n Che Interest of greater safety.
 It ls of course true that there are re- scated Instances where those whose reck- lezsness is well established fail to get sausht under this provision, and where Eome who do get caught continue to drive without license or go into a neighbor- Ing state and come t8c-z with a license rom that commonwes lth. but the danger 1f being deprived Of the privilege of driv- Ing nevertheless has it's good effect Il s,lnds for greater caution and when that prevails It means increased safety.
 Whatever serves to bring about a re- 5u,tion in the number of automobile ac- eideuts must be regarded as a benefit worth encouraging. That at least would seem to be the view that was taken ol the law for the revocation of motor H. tcnsas in lLassachusetts when the legis latl7e committee on highways and mo. lo- vehicles reported adversely on law hat was propossd curtailing the motol 11idcls reEistTar's power in this respect

ed flowers are the best, nasturtiums, sweet alyssum and pansies from seeds. tulips, hyacinths and jonquils from bulbs.
 But if your child can have a garden of his own, let him prepare the soil for planting by himself. The ground must be dug and raked over, for which he will need a garden set, easily pro- cured at small cost. Allow him to choose his own seeds or plants, even if his choice differs from your own. My small son took about a dozen sprouted onions from the pantry and planted them as a border around my pansy- bed, but he has experienced more joy from those onions than I could have from a hundred posies.
 As the seeds sprout and the plants grow. let your child enjoy them to the full. Tell him stories about his garden the sun which warns it, the rain that moistens it, and the earth that feeds it. And when the blossoms appear. be sure he picks them to his hearts con tent, yet always making use of the flowers. Show him what beauty and sweetness they add to a room.
 A child, in caring for his garden wedding, watering and loosening ths soil, will learn all the wonderful re- turns Nature gives for the work and the care she exacts.
 And as the garden blooms, youl child's heart and mind will also un- fold. He has learned from his little | garden more than you could have | taught him in wor7s ha has learned the lesson of growth and development | of work and It's re"..4u- oL beauty il | all things, and of God. the Giver of al

BY PERSONS UNKNOWN
A True Detective story-Copyrighted.

Tt is absolutely essential" said tic secretary of treasury, glancing across his desk at the short, ruddy complexioned, rather stout man who sat opposite him, that the persons responsible for these lynchings at Versailles be arrested tried and convicted. I don't think it is over stating the matter to say that this case is more important than any counterfeit ing plot or smuggling scheme which the department has ever worked on for the governor of Indiana has applied to the federal government for troops to handle the uprising which threatens to sweep over that part of the country, and the en- tire state is taking sides in the matter.
 Naturally, we do not wish to send troops to Versailles unless 1t is absolute ly necessary. It would only lead to addi- tional bloodshed and disorder. What we need is someone who has the nerve to go out there. investigate the case from every possible angle and make report as to the persons responsible for the lynchin&s That's why sent for you"
 The man on the other side of the desk smiled and tapped thoughtfuTly with the foreinger of g. hand which indicated strength and determination of character.
 'Of course" continued the secretary, T must warn you that the case is one that is apt to prove dangerous. More so, In fact than anything you have ever at tempted. Compared to it, the roundup of gang of moonsMners is child's play for here you will have to work entirely in the dark. one man against practically an entire state. A single slip would mean your death, and would force the govern ment to take steps which might lead to protracted bloodshed."
 "In which case" replied the other, "it would be well for me to get out to Yer saiTles as soon as I can. The longer we wait the less chance there is of success. Don't make any attempt to hear from me or to locate me for at least month. If at the end of that time you haven't t received some kind of a report, you will know that they've got me. But, some how, I've got a hunch that they won't"
 It was two days later than the train which stopped at Versailles, Ind, halted just long enough to permit a single pas senger to a1ight-a man who was short and rather plump and with a ruddy com plexion, a man who registered at the local hotel as James M. Beck and who allowed it to become known that he was an insurance agent, representing one of the best known companies in the country. But Versailles as Beck soon discover ed was a poor field for life insurance at I that tlme. There was only one topic o1

dents can be prevented. or that all those who are involved in accidents should have their right to drive a car taken away. There are those cases where ac- cidents are unavoidable and a driver should not be penalized for something he could not help. In general practice 1t is not believed that the license revocation authority is exercised to an un- reasonable aegree. It must of neces- sity be wisely and firmly used or it would amount to nothing. Let 1t become understood that it amounts to nothing and such a provision might as well not be on the statute books
