Hardly a Sinecure.

Lots of money and little work is the popular conception of a magis- trate's life in the South Sea islands. This idea does not exactly jibe with the colonial office report for 1919, re- lating to the Gilbert and Ellice islands. The report laments the disappearance of the old order of senior native gov- ernment officials. "On an island such as Tabiteauea," adds the report, "5O miles in length, the magistrate is re- sponsible for the good order of 4,OOO turbulent and mercurial natives, whose feuds, fights, crimes, sickness, land squabbles, births, deaths, marriages, villages, crops, fisheries and con- plaints are the subject of his inces- sant attention. He must watch over their relations with traders and mis- sionaries, protecting the rights of all parties; he is responsible for large male and female prisons and their ra- tioning, for the good order of all reg isters and accounts kept by the Scribe, for the character and efficiency of 70 junior village officials, and he has the infinitely difficult task of keeping the peace between the antagonistic Chris tian sects and the pagans. For this he receives $12O year."

BUILDING MEX|C0'S
 COAST PROJECTS

The United States, in conjunction with many of the states and munich palities of the Union, has built many miles of roadway, but the Mexican government is just now building one of the longest lines of highway on the American continent. This road will run from Nogales, Sonora, to Colima, in the state of that name, a distance of 1900 miles. While it will be dirt road it will be so built that it will carry heavy travel, and will later be reinforced by concrete or rock dressing. The cost of this road will be borne by the government and will handle the freightage throughout the wholeWestCoast region, serving the agricultural and mining territory.
 In conjunction with the building of this highway are many irrigation pro- jects, which will cost many millions of dollars, and will bring under ir1'iga- tion over 100000 acres of the choic- est lands in the world. These pro- Jects are to be situated on the San Lorenzo, Bocaroni, Culiacan and Piaxtla rivers, and it is expected that enterprises will be conducted on the Fuerta, and Yaqui rivers, these having but small impounding dams that cannot care for the possibilities of the streams nor reclaim the acreage that coull even t,.ally be cared for.
 The West Coast of Mexico is the ideal spot of Mexico, being free from frost and having the most equible climate in the whole country. The lofty and towering mountain range that rises abruptly to he;ghts uf 13,- 0C0 and 15,000 feet from the floor If tie valleys, and is covered with eter- nal snows, keeps the atmospheric CO., d:,ions along the coast perfect for every class of agriculture and horti- cultural produ. ts. Near the delta of .he Fuerta is a large territory on which is now produced much of the garden truck that finds a market on the Pacific Coast, large shipments also being sent to the eastern states during the winter months.
 And speaking of the West Coast of Mexico the valleys and delta of the Colorado river will also give as great return as any of the wonderful acres of Mexico, and we hope soon to see these potential areas settled with thriving, industrious peoples.

Puppy's Mortifying Experience.
 With length of drain pipe fastened tightly to his head, fox terrier at Maidstone, Eng, reached his home the other day after nearly weeks ab- sence. The little fellow had evident ly chased a young rabbit into a field drain and trying to follow had wedged his head in so tightly he could not withdraw it.

Whale Was Outclassed.

A big 50-foot whale tried to use the steamer Philadelphia as scraper to remove his barnacles, near the Irish coast on the liners last trip. But the clumsy big thing got across the bows of the ship and could not get away owing to the speed at which it was be- ing pushed along, broadside on. The officers backed up and the whale turn ing up his tail went down for repairs

Field Work Done
In the Inspection
OF Seed Potatoes

The final figures have just been is
sued from the office Of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture showing the
amount of field work done this past
season in inspection and certifying
OF seed potatoes. The total number
Of applicants was 24O representing an
acreage Of 1924. There were with
drawn SO acres, inspected 2SOo, and
1853 acres the department was not
able to visit on account of insuffi-
cient funds to meet the new demand.
OF the amount inspected, 1889 acres
or AZ per cent. passed
1t is figured that the total yield on
these acres will be 11S,900 barrels
which will yield the owners from 81
to $3.50 per barrel more than ordinary
seed stock. There have already been
loaded IS cars and IL more will be
loaded before the 25th Of this month
This is small amount of course,
compared to the taole stock market,
but if the department can help few
farmers who are interested in seed
production it is felt that it is a step
in the right direction. An increased
demand is bound to be made on the

Kittery Rejects Plan
OF Bridge Approach

A news dispatch from kittery
states that at special town meeting
held Monday evening, it was unanI-
mously voted to reject the plan rec
commended by the Maine Highway
Commission for condemning all the
land and buildings between Pearson
and Newmarch SITS, to Government
st, for an approach to the new mem
orial bridge. Elmer J. Burnham pre-
sided.
Judge Aaron B. Cole explained that
the purpose of the Highway Commits
sion's plan was to build a park dir
ectly at the entrance Of the bridge to
Badgers Island. The plan also called
for an expenditure by thee town of
all over $4,000.
The sentiment of the meeting was
that inasmuch as the bridge as well
as the local approach is "a State
project" and lank to the trunk lines
o; Maine, the State should be respon-
sible for the expenses incurred.

Heretofore under the old system
Of handling criminals and musde-

view. This object was punishment
for the deed committed, without q
thought Of remedy. Tho result was

| ton.

ments are statutory and cannot be

sential that the service be continuous
