British Farm Hands
Welcome in Australia

London, Dec 27-AuStralia, unlike
America, wants immigrants SO much
that she is paying the passages or
thousands of them, and finding them
jobs after they land. And the British
government is so DESTROYS of Kidding
England of her surplus unemployed
labor that it is helping pay the way
of those who leave tStind new homes
on the other side of the earth. In
1922 about $4,000 persons were sent
from London to Australia, and in
1928 twice as many will go, emigra-
ton officers estimate.
Australia is very particular about
the kind of people who go there to
live. In the first place they must be
OF the white race, and preferably
British. Little encouragement is
given Continental Europeans.
Few passenger ships sail to Aus
ITALIA from Continental ports, and the
Italian. Greek, Armenian or What-no
who comes TO London hoping to have
part of his passage paid to Australia
by the Commonwealth government
finds that the ship is already filled
with Britishcrs.
A Britisher of sound body, some
sense and grit enough to tackle farm
work need not have a cent in the
world; all he must have is character,
and John Bull will see to it that he
gets to Australia, and finds a job.
The Australian and British govern
mcnts will pay most of the passage,
and the Commonwealth will lend the
immigrant enough to make up the
difference and also sufficient change
to provide food and shelter until the
intended farm hand gets his feet in
the furrow and his hands on the
plough.
The Commonwealth spends thous-
ands of pounds every year seeing to
il that the type of emigrant who goes
to Australia to live is vigorous and
of good character. The wedding out
process begins in London, where
many hear the call to new home
over the seas with passage paid, but
where few are chosen.
The greatest need is for farm hands
and prospective farm owners. Almost
as loud is the call for dOmest icS,
hut it is not being answered. as SER
wants are hard to get in England.
and there are not enough of them to
supply even the home demands. All
Of the Australian states are also de-
sirous of having young boys, from 16
tn 20, go there and grow up with the
country.

Maslen In Municipal
Court For Selling Liquor

Arthur Maslen Of Madison was be-
fore Judge Elmer Sawyer of North
Arson at a hearing of the Western
Somerset Municipal Court held on
Thursday, being charged with two
single sales of intoxicating liquor.
Maslen pleaded not guilty but was
found guilty and was sentenced to
serve two months in the County Jail
and pay a fine of 500 and costs of
court and in default of payment of
fine and costs 60 days additional in
each case. Maslen was committed to
the county Jail and began at once to
serve his term. This hearing was
the result of activities of Deputy
Sheriff Adams of Madison, who was
assisted by Sheriff John A. Mooers
OF SkoWhegan, and had to do with
somewhat complicated matters in re-
/ lation to liquor selling, more of
which will be brought before the
Grand Jury of the Supreme Judicial
Court, which convenes at SkoWhegan
