FRENCH CONVICT SHIP TAKES $40

LA ROCHELLE, France. March 81.
With $40 prisoners in steel cages
between decks, the French convict
ship La Mariniere is pointing her

French prison camp off the coast of
French Guiana.
There in the northeastern portion
of South America, about $50 miles
north of the Equator, the prisoners,

of them for long terms, will do pen

La Mariniere departed yesterday
for the long voyage with about as

belligerency seemed to peryade. As
the vessel got under way, persons in

heard a moan coming from the depths
of La Mariniere. 1t grew louder,
swelled into roar and ended i'll a

TURN ABOUT is FAIR PLAY

The celebrated conductor of Phila-
delphia's orchestra administered, In
a rather unique way, merited re-
buke to those among the patrons
who have the habit of sauntering In
when fancy pleases and getting up
and going out with like disturbances
When the curtain rose there were
but two of the orchestra on the
stage, the others dawdling in at in
teryals and taking their places. 1t
appears they also got up and walked
out when so inclined.
All this was not contributory TO
the excellence of the performance,
for which those present had paid.
Probably the majority Of those were
considerate in their manner of going
and coming, but they, the innocent,
had to suffer along with the guilty,
rs so often happens.
This is a fact that warrants the in
nocent in thinking about tarring and
feathering the offenders but perhaps
the novelty and the humor of this
rebuke were sufficient recompense,
However 1t affords suggestion that
the innocent must be more attentive
to their own rights and compel the
offenders to bear the deserved odium
of their offenSe.

MURpERERs At LARGE

When If ever will the country con-
clude that those responsible for MUIR
derers being at large should them
selves suffer a severe penalty?
An authority states that there are
now at, liberty in the United States
$4,000 murderers. He predicts that
"the tenderness of technicality which
has so long shielded and encourage
the criminal is about to meet the
awakening anger of an endangered
public
1t is about time. We hope he is
true prophet, but a pessimist may
have doubts. Even the optimist must
concede that the aforesaid public
must show more of sustained inter.
est than is characteristic of It.
There is cause for apprehension that,
as usually happens to the negligent,
the public, when frightened at its
own negligence, will become panicky,
and impulsively fritter away its en-
ergies in sr-"Nng cure-alls '~~tead Of
making daily use Of the well-known
remedies, those which require con-
slant and intelligent supervision and
insistence.

BETTER THAN CALOMEt
Edwards Olive Tablets are a,
Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. These
little olive-colored tablets are the re-
suit OF DIR. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel COM
plants with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo-
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure the
liver at the expense of the teeth? CAL
omel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. 1t is best
not to take calomel. Let DIR. Edwards
olive Tablets take it's place.

Editors Letter Box

Mr.. Editor:
When the lowly potato becomes
so important that articles appear on
the front pages of the Boston Sun
day papers and such articles full of
misleading and almost ridiculous
statements, it seems to me time for
someone to say a word in defense
of the potato, the potato grower, and
the actual reasons for the present
high prices.
If some of the men (and women)
who are yelling murder, whenever
they order potatoes from their gro
GERS, would just go out in the coun-
try, buy a good farm, and try get
ting a living raising them, possibly
within period of three years they
would know more about the business
of growing potatoes to sell in a
commercial way. Ga,
Do you know that the actual cost
in money, for every acre grown here
in Maine, is S125.00. Do you realize
that compared with the growing of
corn, wheat, oats, or beans, that the
labor involved is about four times as
much in handling the crop of pota-
toes than for the staples mentioned.
Do you know, that many a good
farmer stopped in the season of 1924
(after losing money for five years.
trying to grow them at all?
This is one of the good reasons
why the price is high.
Someone, writing for the Boston
Globe, today's ISSUE, in the fruit and
vegetable column, pg. AZ, as follows:
when prices have skyrocketed
from one cause or another, consump-
ton has dropped to a minimum and
producer and middleman have suf-
fered accordingly. Maine potatoes
are illustrative of the last statement.
Several months ago they advanced
sharply in price and demand slump
ed in proportion. There was a re-
action in values. More recently tu-
Der prices have advanced to new
high records. Public demand the
past week slumped to a new low
record. The fellow owning potatoes
mas an abnormally high market, but
mighty few customers. He stands
very good chance of coming out the
small end of the horn
That Is probably true, and one
reason for the slump in prices is
the kicking about prices in the pa
pers.
One would think from that para
graph that Boston was the only city
in this country where the potato
was selling at high prices.
The following from the front page
of the Herald is still worse and, be-
lieve me, if the Massachusetts farm
ers follow the advice of that writer
and plant largely, as he advises,
prices will go still higher. The de-
mand for seed will do it.
Rumor of Drop Denied
Rumors of slight drop in the
jobbers' price of potatoes could not
be verified yesterday afternoon. as
the jobbing houses were closed for
the week. but wholesalers whose
trucks were busy bringing extra po-
tatoes to the Blackstone street ped
dlers, denied that they had heard
of such a drop.
These wholesalers said that they
had paid $4.25 a hundred pounds
