Ernest Loane, a farmer, who lives
on the Ashland road in Prcsquc
Isle, lost a pair of valuable draft
horses. The horses drank from the
water trough in the barnyard IN
which a sx-yoar- old son had put q
package of arsenoid. Having seen
farm hands use the poison for mixing
solutions for spraying potatoes, ana
in imitation of what he saw he en-
ptied the contents of the package of
arsenoid in the water with the above
unfortunate result. Nj. Loane has
refused several offers of $1,000 for the
horses.
Until the year 1916 the minimum
age at which an American youth
could be granted an original license
for the American merchant marine
was twenty-one years, when in sew
eral foreign countries the age limit
was only seventeen, says the Port
land Press Herald. American boys
were four years behind their foreign
competitors, and this doubtless de-
tered many of them from going to
sea. Seven years ago the Board of
Supervising Inspectors of the Steam
boat Inspection Service amended the
rules so that the American boy could
obtain his original license at nineteen
years of age, and graduate from
scholarships at graduation. A few
weeks ago the same Board sent out
notices that after July /, 1924, the age
limit would be changed back to
twenty one years. This ocasioned a
lot of protests, and the Board has
just sent out another notice, leaving
in force the present ruling of nineteen
years of age, withdrawing the prev
ious notice.
