these are seldom hcal drivers. They
are in majority of instances cars
driven by others than Delawareans.
The same applies kp those who buck
traffic on congested days. The major
ity of Delaware cars, Mr.. REYNOLDS
asserts, seldom attempt to buck traf-
fic, unless they see others attempting
to do the same thing, and when thew
see a Pennsylvania tsptorist trying
the bucking gams they are tempted
to do the same thing
"We are going to Try to check this
bucking the traffic as much as possible
this summer" said Nr. Reynolds.
"Our officers viii glide along in the
regular line of traffic where it is heay-
lest, and if they see some one irving
this dangerous game, they will speed
up and pull the motorist off from the
line of traffic and inform them they
are menacing the lives and property
of others. We hope to accomplish
much by keeping everlastingly at it.
"As rule it is the foreign driver
who starts the trouble. They are used
to passing on either the right or left
side Of the road and when they come
to Delaware and try to do the same
thing, it means trouble for them.
"One Of the things that is most
pleasing" the chief continued, "is that
while we make an average of so to
go arrests each week for traffic viola
tions, there is seldom an instance
where the driver complains and kicks
over being caught. He generally
realizes that he is at fault and simply
pays his fine. 1t also indicates that
our men are experienced and courte-
Gus in their treatment Of motorists
and do not try to irritate a driver
when he is caught doing something he
should not do"

the nomination on the record of his

not be questioned as he has been com

he has administrated the business of

Clerk of the Peace, Edgar E. Glenn

would be a candidate for the Demo

Mr.. Clements has long been connected

The action of Mr.. Clements in en-

ALASKAN GAME COMMISSION
 IS ACTIVE

The Executive Office of the Alaska Game Commission has re- ceived reports of recent cases in the Fairbanks and Anchorage region.
 George Mellich, and alien, com monly known as "Bolshevik George" was apprehended by Warden Frank Dufresne of Fair banks, accompanied by Deputy Marshal James Hagen of Nenana. Mellich was engaged in trapping without an Alien Special License. It seems that Mellich had full knowledge of the license being required and had indicated that he would not take out such a license. After being found with d fox in one of his traps and two rifles in his possession, he was still given an opportunity to escape prosecution by taking out the Alien Special License. He refused to do this; a case was filed against him at Nenena for illegal trapping and he demanded a jury trial. He was convicted, fined $15O and sen fenced to 60 days in jail.
 The other case is reported by Warden A. H. Hardy, of Anchor age, who states that s. F. Rhodes, a fur dealer of Anchorage was found to have purchased on or before December 14th., AZ musk rat and 16 mink skins recently caught, all of which were unprime and taken before the season opened In addition he had failed to keep records of this transaction. A complaint containing three counts was filed against him at Anchorage.

Plants Potatoes in
Maine in Summer
And Florida in Winter

One Maine citizen who has dis
covered a successful method of farm
ing the year round is George V.
Brown of Caribou, who visited the
State Department of Agriculture to-
day to confer with the officials in
regard to seed potatoes. Mr.. Brown
raised a large crop Of Spaulding
Rose potatoes every year at Caribou,
planting upwards of 80 acres of his
own. and purchasing enough from
his neighbors to give him control of
about 5000 sacks every Fall. These
he takes to Florida, where ne dis
poses of part of them to farmers
there for seed, also planting about 90
acres of his own, which he cares for
during the Winter months. market
ing them to good advantage later.
He thus finds an excellent oppor-
tunity of carrying on his line of
work twelve months out of the year.
AS the farming season in Maine is
not a long one, Mr.. Brown feels that
his annual Florida pilgrimage solves
one of the main difficulties connected
with the farming industry in the

All who had part in the program
were either present time residents or
former residents of Winthrop. 1t was
great disappointment that Hallett
Gilbert who was expected to sing a
group of his own songs, was unable
to appear on the program on account
of a bad cold. The entire list of
numbers, however, was greatly en-
joyed.

Federal Forester
Here to Study Way
It's Done in Maine

Assistant Forester Paul G.. Red
dington of Washington, d. c., who has
charge of the administrative work of
a branch of the federal forest service,
is passing the week in Maine and is
the guest while here of Neil l.. Vio-
lette, State forest commissioner.
Mr.. Reddington graduated from
Yale in the same class of the Hon.
Blaine s. Viles of this city. He was
stationed in the west for % years,
doing administrative work for the
federal forestry service in connection
with the national forests.
THE national forests are entirely
different from the national parks" he
explained today. THE department of
agriculture has charge of the nation
al forests, which are handled from a
utilitarian point of view. The parks,
on the other hand, are chosen for
their scenic and recreational attrac-
lions, and are therefore supervised by
the department of the interior. There
are now $50 national forests in the
United States"
Mr.. Reddington's last visit to Maine
was in 1908, when he studied lumber
ing conditions in the Moosehead re-
gion under Fred Gilbert, manager of
the Great Northern Paper Company.
Mr.. Reddington commented on the
forest fire situation which now exists
here, and stated that the past summer
has been most disastrous one in the
western states, especially in northern
Idaho and Montana, where forest fires
have destroyed the standing timber on
nearly 100000 acres of land. 1T has
also been a bad season in California.
the lack of rain out there rendering
the forest conditions fully as bad as
they now are in Maine"
His visit to Maine this trip Is be-
inb made in order to enable him to
familiarize himself with the methods
of forest conservation being practiced
here, and he will take trips to several
of the forest fire stations before re-
turning to Washington. II not with
interest that Maine is making good
use of the modern Instruments for de-
termIning in advance the danger pc
RODS for forest fires" he said.
