Enrolment Law
Is Explained by
Judge E. C.. Smith

"1n order to clear up a very wide
spread misunderstanding in regard
to the existing primary enrolment
law" said Judge Edgar C. Smith.
deputy secretary Of State, yester-
day, II wish to say that this year
this law will be strictly enforced"
1--WE have been getting an average
Of a dozen letters day asking for
Information as to the date of enroll
ment. There is no fixed date. Any
one may enroll any time he sees fit
right up to the time of casting the
ballot. The old enrolment law has
not been changed except that the
1925 law made 1t applicable to all
towns and plantations Of the State,
instead of applying only to owns of
more han 1000 population as form
erly provided. The 1925 law, in ad
dition, made it possible for a voter
to enroll at the board of registration
insead of at the city clerks office,
thus making enrolment more con-
venient than formerly. Ballot will
not be supplied to anyone who fails
to enroll" said Judge Smith.

PLANTS AND HUMANS

Luther Burbank declares that
plants have sub-conscious minds,
that no great gulf exists between
plant and animal life. On his nth
anniversary he Is contemplating
great improvements in plant life be-
fore he passes on and evidently wish
es much might be done with human
life. He recognizes, however. that In
ferior human beings cannot be treat
ed az II they were inferior human
plants. But II civilization IL to en-
dure," he declares, "some way must be
found to produce more of the At and
fewer Of the unfit. Today we are little
more than q field Of wild weeds, in
which, here and there arises a super
type. the result Of fortunate and
chance crossing, rather than that Of
intelligent selection"
Plants may, as he says, possess
sub-conscious minds, but evidently
Mr.. Burbank has not found the psy-
chology of plants such a confusing
element in the matter Of improve
ment, as have those who seek to inn
prove human beings. Yet, though he
describes himself as an agnostic, he
would encourage the children to be-
lieve that their happiness will be in
proportion to the loving thoughts
they give toward every person and
animal and even toward stars, plan
cts. oceans, rivers and hills" Evil
IDENTIFY he appreciates the importance
Of that factor, psychology.
A wonderful work stands to the
credit of Luther Burbank. If this or
any suggestion from him may en-
courage efforts for the improvement
Of the individuals Of creation, whose
minds are more than merely Sub
conscious" his service to the human
kind will be materially enhanced. But
manifestly it will not be safe to per-
nit the experimenters in human life
latitude permissible to those who
would improve plant life, sub-con-
scious though it be. Meanwhile, ex-
cellent authorities tell us, there is de-
veloping from the melting pot" in
this country a type Of human being
superior to his predecessors. We
hope such conclusion is borne out by
the facts. It would be encouraging
to learn that a direction Of effort in
spired outside the minds Of expert
mentors is at work and producing
filter specimens Of the genus homo.

In spite Of the "Old Farmers AL
manac," March is no spring month.
The little rabbit family knew that
only too well-that is, wise Uncle
Lucky, the old bunny gentleman.
Little Jack Rabbit was too young,
and Lady Love, his pretty bunny
mother, not old enough to have
learned all the secrets of Loving
Mother Nature.
Little Miss Mousie," cried Uncle
Lucky one morning from the top OF
the stairs, what does the thermom-
eter say? I'm at a loss to know
whether to wear my pink or my
purple waistcoat." Now, wasn't that
a strange question to ask? AS II 1t
made any difference so far as
warmth was concerned whether the
old gentleman rabbit chose the pink
or the purple one.
Freezing point!" called out his
dutiful little mouse housekeeper a
minute later.
'All arighty," cheerily answered
dear Uncle, and he buttoned up his
pink waistcoat. smiling to himself
all the while. Dear me. Little
Reader, maybe 1t was a wooden one,
and perhaps the purple vest was
made Of cotton. Guess the old gen.
tleman bunny knew what he was do
ing, after all. Then hopping down to
the kitchen he sat down before a
plate of hot Carrot Flour Cakes and
commenced to tuck them under his
belt, as old Sam Hill, my grand
fathers hired man, used to say when
your Uncle Dave was boy way
down on the farm.
Snow still deep along the Old
Stone Fence and in the shady hol-
lows" said Uncle Lucky, setting
down his blue china cup of Turnip
Tea. Hope Jack Frost won't nip the
yellow catkins. But they won't mind.
Saw a pair of bluebirds yesterday.
Guess they spent the night in the
deep shelter of the cedar swamp.
But nothing will break the promise
that Miss South Wind brought this
morning to my old nose," and with
a smile the wise old gentleman rab-
bit buttered a piece of bread.
"What do you mean?" asked Little
Miss Mousie, wondering what sort of
a promise could make dear Uncle
Luckys nose twinkle.

The Transportation of Calves

The Transportation of Calves
To the Editor of the
Kennebec Journal
Sir:
Last Fall certain persons who had
been kept awake night after night by
the bleating of hungry, homeslck
calves in stock cars complained to
the Pine Tree Humane Society, and
in consequence one of our Agents
was sent to inspect the cattle train
which leaves Portland for Brighton
every Monday night. From This re
port, which was communicated to
the General Manager of the Maine
Central, we quote only single para
graph as follows:-'In one over
crowded car there were two COWS
down, and one of them was lying up
on some calves. The Yard Master
and | squeezed into the car, and with
great difficulty lifted the COW off the
calves. but could not get the cows
I'M. they We're crowded so close.
There were IS head in this car
fifteen cows, two steers, one hog'
sixty calves" BY mere coincidence.
one of our Directors happened to ~
at the Brighton Stock Yards When
that same train arrived the next
morning, and saw eight dead caves
taken out of that same car. Inc

made sincere effort to correct these

A conference was held recently IN
Portland between the Railroad peo-
pie, the cattle dealers. and the Plne
Tree Humane Society, which was
presided over by Mr.. w. G. Hunton,
Industrial Agent Of the Maine Cen
trial. an expert in all matters relat-
ing to cattle, and very humane
man. From what TRANSFERRED at
this meeting, and has been learned
since. it seems clear that one cause,
probably the main cause, of the death
of so many calves en- route is that
they are mortally sick when placed
on board. But why, it will be asked
should any man want to send a poor
little calf. diseased and perhaps dy-
ing, on that long, rough, journey to
Brighton? The answer is that the
calls hide will be worth one dollar
if the creature reaches Boston, dead
or alive.
In other cases, small. weak calves
are killed by cows stepping or falling
upon them. Many of these calves, II
must be remembered, are shipped
when they are only day or two OLD.
In order to prevent these small
calves from being trampled to death,
Mr.. Hunton has made the very rea-
sonable suggestion that they should

The seaman of the President Roose-

man papers were lost or stolen from
him one night in port five years ago.
How did Steger get them? NO one
knows: but five years ago such pa

handicapped for employment under
their own names.
No one knows. No one cares. On

bow when she headed into the gale,

ready for launching, he was the first
man to volunteer, with a jest that
laughed at fate: And when the boat
was swamped and smashed almost as
soon as it met the waves, he was last
seen, until the sea gives up it's dead,

Fritz Steger is a good name, fine

he was called, the sailor who dared
and did what now goes on the record
as Steger's deed Of heroism was every
inch a man.
