SHOULD BE NO LET-UP

How smugglers treat officers of the
law al pears in the bombing of a
Federal customs official at Niagara
Falls.
How the law treats smugslers is
frequently shown by the courts re-
primanGing those who brought "a bout
an arrest, irregularly.
Probably the courts are right.
Officers of the law should conform
to the rules, but they should be pro-
tected.
The party or parties who bombed
the customs collector should not be
forgotten. No effort should be spar
ed, now nor hereafter. Such crimes
should never be stricken from the
calendar. The criminals should not
be left unmolested until they turn up
again with another crime Haven't
we sleuths capable of sleuthins?

Home Boycott
Charged To Irish

Dublin. Feb. IL CA. P. by maiD-
The Irish people have been boycott
ting their own goods. it was declared
at meeting of the executives of the
Cork Industrial Development Asso-
citation. Some few years back Gus
toners used to insist on Irish manu-
features, but this is now exceptional.
The secretary commented upon a
recent statement of Professor Smid-
dy in America that ireland is a
creditor country rather than a debtor
country" and that freshmen have a
billion dollar investment in foreign
countries drawing an income of
about $55,000,000 a year"
The secretary argued that this ex-
port of Irish capital was suicidal and
it was suggested that the govern
ment should put an embargo on
further capital export.

didn't care. He knew that Spring
had come although her gentle
whispers one scarcely heard.
Just then, as he neared the Old
Mill from among the willows came
a sweet song 'Ilolink, kolink, chez
chez chez chez chez, tseep seedle,
sweet, sweet" 1t was Song Spar
rows carol, melting with the gurgle
of the water over the Old Mill Wheel.
The next minute there came the
whistling Of duck wings, and flock
of Whistlers dropped into the pond
near an opening in the thin ice
"All my feathered friends will soon
be here" laughed the happy bunny
boy, as on he hoped, almost step

yellow head tied up warmly in
maroon and green pointed hood.
'All the flowers will soon be here"
again laughed the happy little bunny
boy, stopping to touch the red tassels
of the Alder Catkins that stood close
to the edge of the Bubbling Brook.
All OF a sudden Professor Jim
Crow, in his black swallowtail coat.
settled on n stump Taking his
Wisdom Book from under his wing,
he turned to the little rabbit and
said:
Listen to me for a minute or two,
l have something to read to you.
Though Springtime is here, it's still
cold and drear,
And the sky has no lovely warm
blue"
II know it," answered the little
rabbit, hopping about on his tippy
toes. But Blue Bird is here; so is
Song Sparrow and Bobbie Redvest.
1t won't be long before all the grass
is green and the trees covered with
leaves"
Wear your fur overcoat for a
while yet" advised the wise old
blackbird, closing his book with a
strap. Don't change your winter

so did the little rabbit-beg pardon,
he hoped into the next story.

WHY WASTE MONEY AND
EFFORT

We must buy more from outside
Maine. To do that, we must produce
more within Maine. We must have
more cotton mills and more shoe
shops. And thereto, we must have
more power, at lower cost.-Lewiston
Sun.
We agree with the Sun that more
and more the world is dependent on
all the world, for the abundance of
good things. but We do not con-
clude that it is inadvisable to learn
where the good things are produced,
the names Of these, the ways in
which they are handled and any
suggestions respecting their distribu-
tion to the advantage of the con-
sumner. Furthermore we would be-
gin at home. We think Governor
Brewster has advocated an excellent
undertaking in endeavoring during
one week at least to learn as much
as possible about the products Of our
own communities and the community
of communities, the State.
At the end of the week it may not
lie possible to say, as a Portland
paper says of a Wisconsin woman
moving to Lewiston and seeking
there in all the stores to buy a
Getty Bates" bedspread. Failing in
this she sent to her home town in
Wisconsin and bought one. When it
arrived the tag informed her that it
was made in Lewiston, which
evidently was more than the local
dealers could impart in the way of in
formation.
There ought to be way, there
surely is a way, whereby there may
be less Of transportation costs be-
tween maker and user, and we be-
]ieve the Governor has set his feet
therein and is making Roadway.
We believe the successful mer-
chant as a rule is that one who de-
sires to give his customers good
values for the money and who sue
ceeds in doing that. If he may get
the best apples, properly graded,
from those grown in Maine, If he
may do likewise with canned goods,
with manufactured goods. he will be
in a way to afford Ibis customers
whatever of advantage there may be
in the short haul. While admitting
there are jobbing conditions that in
some degree may offset such adA
vantages, we nevertheless are con-
WINGED something worth while may
be done in this way.
The dealers in these articles ought
to be the best informed respecting
such possibilities, yet, 1t is not i'm
possible that they too are learning
something new this Know Maine
Products Week. Anyhow, the re-
ports indicate they are, in most
places, making creditable efforts to
demonstrate such value as may exist.
If they do their part; If we do our
part: If we learn what we have to
select from and ask our retailers for
the articles we decide we want the
wholesalers will quickly take heed,
Their success depends upon meeting
demand; the demand depends upon
us.
Now, there appears to be some
outside the State who object to this.
The out-of-S State firm, assuming
like effort were made in its home
area need not be a loser in the long
run. Anyhow, it does not hesitate to
induce its home people to buy at
home. and it should not object to
others doing this. and surely when
Lewiston people have to buy home
made bedspreads in Wisconsin and
pay all the costs Of shipment both
ways there is a waste of money and
effort enormous in the total, all paid
cut Of the pockets of the consumers.
