Here is a typical case. A group OF
men undertook to promote q vending
o. self-serving machine. Their plan
called for the sale Of $37, 900, 900 worth
Of leases in the United States. SINH
lar projects previously started through
out the United States had failed. As
q matter Of fact, the average daily
sale Of one Of these s~elf-serVics ma
chimes was only $40, which IN itself
made it impossible for q machine to
produce sufficient revenue to make It
profitable. Servicing the machines
was another obstacle which had not
been successfully overcome. In three
months the promoters were successful
in selling over &2.5 900 worth OF
rights to s these machines.

Paternalism is Deplored
JAMS IN NORTHERN
Maine RIVERS HOLD
THREAT OF FRESHETS

Boston, Mass, March 24-(AP)-
Northern New England today still
faced the peril Of flood waters should
weather bureau warnings of rapidly
rising temperature coupled with pos
sible drizzling rain materialize.
A gradual thaw would do much to
relieve the situation, but warm rain,
such as is feared for tomorrow, would
be certain to do damage.
Several roads north of Burlington in
Vermont were reported as under water
and it was thought that others would
have to be closed to traffic If the wa
ter continues its rise tomorrow. In
New Hampshire the condition was
more serious. At Nashua, the Nashua
River had risen an additional six
inches. Heavy damage was feared for
property along the banks of the over
flowed Mohawk at Colebrook and
Stewartstown.
Ice jams in northern Maine rivers
threatened. Dams and reservoirs were
filled to overlooking in the Penobscot
and st. Croix valleys, while the kenne-
bee and Dead Rivers were high. There
has been a slight rise in the Connecti-
cut River in the Springfield region

LESS ACREAGE OF
POTATOES PROBABLE
IN maine THIS YEAR

Wakefield, Mass. Mar. 24-(APo-
New England farmers plan to reduce
potato acreage to 9S.7 percent of last
years area, it is indicated in reports
made to the New England crop re-
porting service. Today's statement
said that these Intentions are SUBJ
ject to change as conditions alter.
maine intends to cut her acreage
to IS percent of last year" the state
ment reads, "and Connecticut to "a
percent, New Hampshire 120. YER
mont Ill, and Massachusetts 1913 per-
cent. Rhode Island farmers contem-
plate no change.
maine growers are realizing good
prices from the 1925 crop and have
strengthened their financial position
through sounder policy of economy.
Bad weather last fall prevented the
unsual large amount of fall plough
ing. Sales Of fertilizer for the crop
! are less than usual There is some
talk of selling buildings of certified
seed and either reducing acreage or
planting lower cost seed. Old pota-
toes are moving freely at good prices
anu dlC hhOiy " 81 OUT very ClSdH.
Planting anything less than the best
seed is likely to be costly step
backward"
Connecticut and Maine farmers
are studying the situation closely,
the report states, while in the other
four states good prices for last years
crop seem the chief influence.
Final paintings for the whole
country. it is predicted, will probably
somewhat exceed the 4.3 percent gain
over last year reflected in present in
tntions. A seven percent gain would
make the acreage equal to that of
1924.
IA sound policy" the report con-
cludes, would include use of i'm
proved seed. methods of agriculture,
care in handling, and production well
balanced with demand"

BOSTON POLICEMAN
FATALLY WOUNDED
IN HAL TING OF AUTO

Boston, March 24-(AP)-Patrol-
man Frank J. Momeau of the Dor
chester district was shot and fatally
wounded tonight by one Of three men
in a stolen automobile. The trio then
mingled in a church crowd and es-
capped, leaving behind the automobile
and the revolver used in the shoot
ing. Comeau was shot through the
abdomen and was dead on arrival at
a hospital.
The patrolman was lounging in the
door of a patrol wagon house in civ
ilian clothes when an automobile
came rushing down the street and
stalled. Comeau apparently ques-
toned the occupants, grew suspicious
and pulled one from the machine. The
man pressed his revolver against
Comeaus stomach and fired. The
weapon caught in the policeman's
clothing and fell to the ground as
Comeau collapsed.
Fifteen minutes after the shooting
some one telephoned the station
house few blocks away that his au-
tomobile had been stolen and the
abandoned auto was found to be his.

No Right of Way
For AH-American
Canal in the House

Washington, Mar. "a. - (AP) -
Republican house leaders fatty re-
fused today to give legislative right
Of way at the present time to con-
sideration of the All-American canal
proposal that would link the Great
Lakes with the Atlantic via the Hud-
son river.
At the same time it was disclosed
that Henry Ford looks favorably
both upon this proposal and one to
connect the lakes and the Atlantic
by channel down the st. Lawrence
river.
w. B. Mayo of the Ford Motor
Corporation, in letter to Chairman
Dempsey of the house rivers and
harbors committee, said the all
American route would serve the CEN
trail west as a whole and had the
advantage of being free from ice
for one month longer each year
than the other, but he also endorsed
the st. Lawrence project.
Representative Tilson, Connecti-
cut, the Republican leader, said the
all-American proposal was too large
a project to be taken up except I'M
der an agreement that would per-
nit ample time for it's debate in the
house.

Says Whittem0re
Gang Had Infallible
System of Stealing

New York. March 24.-(AP)-The
gang led by Richard Reese White
more, eX-convict and confessed MUIR
derer, followed a system that made
success of it's criminal ventures prac-
tically assured and which, If made
public, would menace public safety.
Acting District Attorney Pecora said
tonight.
Refusing to give reporters the con-
fession of Anthony Paladino, one of
the gang of eight men and one woman
under arrest, Mr.. Pecora said that the
Whittemore plans falling into crimi-
nal hands would provide the under
world with an almost infallible plan
of action.
More harm than you can imagine
would be done to the youth of the
country" he said adding that If the
plans were made public, business men
would have to hire guards to prevent
holdups such as those which 1t is al
legged brought the Whittemore gang al
most 100000 in loot.
Whittemore. who is already wanted
in Baltimore for the murder of a
prison guard, was identified today with
two others of the gang as members Of
the band which killed two guards and
stole $4,000 from an armored car in
Buffalo last October.
"Paladino has told just how the
gang operated" Mr.. Pecora said. land
how highly systematized was the crime
corporation which the members had
formed. The confession shows just
how banditry on scale as sweeping
as this was and can be done.
1.-THE Whittemore band was the most
highly organized l ever heard of. They
had planned to operate on national
scale. with billion dollars in pros
pect as loot"

Says u. S. Actuated by
Sense, Not Sentiment
In Debt Settlements

Philadelphia. March 24.-(AP)-
Americas war debt settlements with
European nations were the most ia
vorable which could be obtained short
of force. Secretary Mellon declared
here tonight in an address before the
Union League Club.
Touching on the moral obligation to
assist other peoples to clear away the
wreckage of war Mr.. Mellon said 1--WE
do lowe this obligatory, and We will
carry out this duty"
1.-THE administration believes in help
and not charity" he continued, land
our financial policies toward Europe
are backed not by sentiment but by
sense"
The address of the treasury head
had been prepared prior to the ar
rangements made in the house of COM
mons today By Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Churchill, who also discussed
the moral a spect of the war debts.
Mr.. Mellon confined his remarks
chiefly to n defense of the settlements
so far made, one of which, that with
Italy, Is under fire in the Senate pend
ing a vote of ratification. He called
attention also that negotiations were
pending with France Greece and Jugo
Slavia, the only European nations
which had not funded their debts.
If Europe Is to be reestablished on
a sound basis, he declared. 1t must
balance its budget, its war debts must
be funded. and the American investor
must intelhgently and pofirtably In
vest his surplus capital stock abroad.
All of this is taking place, he added,
and financially reconstruction of Eu-
rope is in sight, with an improved and
healthy market for this nation as the
probable result.

Britishers Conclude
u. S. to Blame in
Matter Of.War Debts

London, March "a - (AP) - The
problem Of the world wars heritage
of interallied debts was given peri
odical airing in the house of COM
mons today, and Winston Churchill
chancellor of the exchequer, and
Phillip Snowden, laborite and for
mer chancellor, who are poles apart
politically, joined hands in the house
in agreeing that the burden of re-
sponsibility for the war debt difficult
ties rests on the United States for re-
fusing to adopt q policy of all-round
cancellation.
Mr.. Snowden precipitated the de-
bate in the hope of helping to bring
Great Britain's recalcitrant continent
tai creditors to time, and he spared
neither the United States, France nor
Italy in the scathingly bitter criti-
cism for which he has a reputation.
With ministerial responsibility as
ISOLATED with his utterances. Mr..
Churchill restrained his statement
somewhat, and on the whole was
hopeful of obtaining from Great
Britain's debtors the necessary 3d.
100000 pounds sterling which this
country is now paying to the United
States annually.
Thus, the chancellor of the exche-
Quer believes the British government
will be enabled to carry out the
principle of the Balfour note, where
by Great Britain declared her inten-
ton of collecting from her continent
tai allies only sufficient sums to pay
her indebtedness to America.
Mr.. Churchill described the under
taking to pay 100000 pounds sterling
day for more than three genera
lions of the nation as one of the most
stupendous tasks and burdens ever
assumed by any country in the whole
worlds history.
The chancellor declared that an ex-
traordinary situation, which would
not pass out of the minds Of any re-
sponsible persons either in the Unit
ed States or Europe, would exist
when most Of Germany's war repara-
tons were drawn from the decas-
tated war-stricken countries Of Eu-
rope in an unbroken stream across
the Atlantic to that wealthy, prosper
Gus and great republic"
Philip Snowden took the line that
the loans made through Great Brit
ain to the allies constituted Amer
ica's gift, as a sort of compensation
for her late arrival on the battlefields
of Europe"
But, he went on, IL the United
States insisted that Great Britain
must pay, he would point to Amer
ica's success in funding 40 percent
of her war debts. and argued that If
Great Britain did not follow suit, the
taxpayers here must bear the burden.

Every year after there has been a
heavy snowfall there follows the
anxiety regarding danger of spring
freshet. However, the danger does
not altogether depend on the amount
of snow but rather on the way it
runs off. At the present time the
water equivalent of the snow on the
ground in the upper Kennebec
River is approximately 71a inches, a
little more than usual. 1t follows
