A Significant Poll

In view Of the fact that many polls are being
taken by various newspapers on the prohibition is.
sue, it is interesting to note a referendum which
has not been given great amount of publicity.
Everett Sortright, assistant professor Ct educa-
ton, New York University, is completing survey
of opinions of senior college students. Among other
questions, he sounded out their attitude toward the
eighteenth amendment He found that TIA per cent
Of the students are in favor of rigid enforcement
Of the eighteenth amendment, and 81 per cent
are against the repeal of that amendment. A
very heavy female student dry vote brought up
the dry averages The survey was conducted IN
the New York University, Mount Holyoke, AM
herst, Connecticut Womans College, University
at Minnesota, University of Michigan, Leland Stan
ford University, University Of Texas. and the Uni
versity of South Carolina.
It is interesting to get slant on the prohibition
issue from the youth Of the land, especially from
those who are being trained to take leading part
in public life Of the coming generation.
The result Of the poll, however, has vital social
import and indicates the trend Of thought in the
student body Of the nation in far these educa-
stional institutions are concerned.

which to bring up genius.
Il went to Florida she said, ITO find a place

Is Rejected Maine
Diaries Reinstated
By Board i'm Boston

Twenty-Five Maine diaries that had
recently been turned down by the
Boston Board of Health, have just
been reinstated and others will be re-
instated in the near future, it was
reported Saturday by State Dairy In
spector c. p. Osgood.
inspectors representing the board
have been quite active in their work
and during the past month number
of Maine dairies We're turned down,
being scored below so" said Mr. Os-
good. "This meant quite a financial
loss to the farmers who had no place
to sell their milk and cream until
they were reinstated to the Boston
market"
The dairies rejected We're for thu
most part in the vicinity of Hartland,
Winthrop and Auburn. Among the
most important recommendations for
a dairyman to observe in order to
avoid being turned down are: install
lation of a milk room; proper build
ing construction so that there Is
plenty of light and the walls and
floor are tight: and whitewashing the
barn each spring and fall.
Inspector Osgood has just returned
from a trip to see that the inspectors
{ recommendation have been put into
effect and upon his report that the
work has been done satisfactorily the
Gairies are reinstated by the Boston
Board of Health.

Spike Horn Wins
Fight with Moose
In Hancock County

From report of Walter r. Butlee,
deputy game warden, whose home
is at Bluehill Hancock county, it
appears that a Dempsey-Tunney per-
Torrance was recently staged in the
Maine wilderness in Hancock county
by a pair of four footed contestants,
Mr.. Butler writes the Game depart
ment with reference to this affair as
follows:
"On Tuesday last a resident of Pc
nobscot while hunting deer in the
vicinity of an old farm came across
a large bull moose which was I'M
able to stand and seemed to be very
nearly dead, with one antler miss
ing" The warden investigated and
it appears from his report that evil
IDENTIFY this lord of the Maine for
est had apparently come in contact
with a young Spike-horn who cer-
tainly came out the winner. The
warden found at least a dozen places
where the pair had fought. When
found. the fight was all out of the
defeated contestant. and he is now
so tame that one can put their hands
on him. When found he was helped
to his feet, but several days after
he was able to get up himself. The
moose seems to be in poor physical
condition and is apparently injured
across the back. The warden cut
maple and moose-wood browse for
him and is looking carefully after
him. If it appears that the moose
is not recovering from it's injury the
department will take measures to
have it humanely disposed of.

Plane Probable
For Maine Forestry
District Next Year

It seems reasonably certain that
the Maine Forestry district will be
patrolled next spring by airplane.
During the early part of the fall sea-
son. Commissioner Neil l.. Violette
intimated that unless serious forest
fires cut into his reserve funds for
1926, such a step would be taken
during 1927, and shortly after this
announcement appeared in the pa
pers the rainy season set in, and the
department was able to get through
the fall with comparatively light ex-
pense from fires.
The commissioner himself has
been convinced for some time that
an airplane patrol would be a use
full adjunct to the present system of
spotting forest fires, besides provid-
ing quick transportation for the
portable ffre-fighting pumps now
used by the department.. taking in
supplies tools, etc.
The growing use of seaplanes, ca
pable of landing anywhere there is
water, in other states, seems to in

dictate that such methods would be
feasible for Maine, with it's count
less lakes and streams. 1t would be
possible for such seaplane to hop
OFF, from the big landing field at
Camp Reyes, follow the Kennebec to
Moosehead Lake, cross over to
Chamberlain Lake and then follow
down through Eagle. Churchill, I'M

to the extreme north end of the
State without once being unable to
reach water in case of dead en-

landing.

corresponding to the work of ~ or
more lookout stations.
While no definite announcement
has as yet been made, 1t is known
that many influential parties are
interested in such q project, and 1t
is likely that the matter may be
preached in the near future.
Forestry department officials from
the Federal Forestry Service have
conferred with Com missioner Nio-
lette, and express the opinion that
the use of airplanes in forest con-
servation work is practicable, and
will become increasingly prevalent
as time goes on.
