WANTS A HOME IN PRISON

Thirty nine years old, experienced
in crime, having committed-he says
100 crimes, robberies, burglaries
and murders, a fellow pleads in Min
nesota, where murder Is punished
with life imprisonment, for a restful
life in prison. This he seems in a
way to get.
He claims that his first offence
was stealing a piece Of pie; that his
punishment for that in jail embitter-
ed him against society. Evidently
he thinks there has been great i'm
provement in the trea tment Of pris-
oners nowadays, especially in Mime
sofa
Ono may scarcely avoid some sort
Of reaction from this recital. For
one thing the fruits of successful
crime are seen to pail on the taste at
80; the criminal at that compare
lively early age sees nothing more
inviting than life Imprisonment and
he has to confess 100 crimes to get
It! Again one Is reminded what a
wonderful country for crime is ours,
1900 committed and then confession
necessary to get into the clutches
Of the law and receive the benedic-
ton Of the courts!

Simple Home Treatment That is
Giving Amazing Results

The world progresses. Today all
ments that took weeks to cure can
now be ended in a few days. If you
have varicose veins or punches you
can start today to bring them back
to normal size, and If you are wise
you will do so.
Just get an original bottle of
Moone's Emerald Oil at any dis
pensing pharmacist and apply it
night and morning to the enlarged
veins. 1t is very powerful and
penetrating, and only a little is re-
quired.
After a few days treatment the
veins will begin to grow smaller and
by regular use will soon reduce to
normal.
Moone's Emerald Oil is also a mar
Vicious healing agent. One applica-
ton for instance stops the itching OF
eczema, and a few applications cause
the eruptions to dry up. scale off
and completely disappear. 1t is
equally as effective in BARRIERS itch.

skin trouble.
People who want to reduce varicose
veins, or get rid of eczema, ulcers, or
piles In few days should not hest
tate to get a bottle at once. 1t is so
powerful that a small bottle lasts q
long time. Any pharmacy can sup

CONSIDER THE ADVANTAGES

Master Taber Of the National
Grange sees on his visit here in
Maine advantages which he tells US
the Maine farmers should see more
clearly, such as good land at reason
able prices and comparative nearness
to excellent markets.
Evidently Mr.. Taber isn't the only
outsider to note these advantages.
Governor Brewster calls attention. to
the increase in our number OF culti-
waited farms by 1000 during the past
five years. We conclude that
Mr.. Taber wasn't merely indulging
in flattery when he expressed the
opinion that agriculture here in
Maine is staging come back"
Today Maine offers to the summer
visitor such variety In scenery and
attractions that in those respects
she has no natural competitor. The
public Is coming to know that this
Is so. When are added to these in
ducements the advantages of pure
udaiy PiOo0SIS, III WhlCii 1laAuo GA :
cells along with the purity Of her
waters the growing things which our
visitors wish to have fresh from
fields to tables, is there occasion for
repining?
Right now, much is being done to
call the outsiders attention to these
advantages and the well-advised
farmer will hasten to be ready to
meet their needs when they arrive.
He is interested in having this sea-
sonal demand and should not hest
tate to encourage 1t. He should be
ready to enter into the spirit of
mutually which should accompany
it. 1t is to his interest to have the
advantages of Maine broadcast, as
is being done. No less is it to his
interest to see that the visitor gets
what he pays for, to remember that
little courtesies and fairness are ap-
preciated in the long run. One who
does recognize the value of such eff
forts suggest that whenever the
Maine motorist meets an out-of-
State car he should wave his hand in
salute. A good idea. At least we
should see to it that the hand, which
serves those who come to see our
State, deals fairly, as it should
cordially.

NO WARRANT FOR A CHANGE

Mr.. Mclean 10 announcing that
Maine needs a change in the admin
istration Of State affairs. We haven't
heard him express any such opinion
in respect to city affairs since he
came to the ONCE Of mayor. We
suppose there's q difference-in Mr..
McLean's mind.
Now, the observant Republican
sees that Maine has prospered under
the Brewster administration, and
really no one, Republican or Demo-
crat, wishes to swap prosperity for
a prospect. Especially should we be
reluctant to change unless some good
reason be given, other than perpet-
uation Of a political party. And we
have seen nothing in Mr.. McLean's
statements to warrant the conclusion
he has any program for definite i'm
provement.
Under Governor Brewster spirit
of saving in the departments Of State
activity has been encouraged and
productive Of good results; the con-
tingent fund has been put where It
belongs, and everyone knows the
Governor has spared no effort to
arouse the interest Of outsiders in
Names possibilities. also the interest
Of those at home; moreover he has
been very successful at this. We
doubt II Mr.. Mclean could have done
better. Surely there is nothing in
all this that we would have radically
changed and we fail to see the need
Of any such change, though in all
respect for Mr.. Mclean.
Rotation in Office, which he ad-
vances as a reason for change, has
never profited the country unless
conditions had come to a deplorable
state; this is not true of Maine. In
deed Mr.. Mclean has failed to war
rant any genuine superstition that 1t
is true. The money appropriated is
not being wasted, but wisely expend-
ed; Governor Brewster will be fully
as DESTROYS Of reducing taxation as
Mclean possibly could be; he has
demonstrated himself unusually ca
pable in the undertaking to arouse
the public to our advantages and
we will be well-advised to continue
such service for another two years.

Bostonians. Flood lights now illumin-
ate the tall granite shaft each night

cred that potato plants have been up
rooted, the potatoes in the hill re-
moved and the plants carefully set
back in place. The owners didn't
know anything about it until they
started to dig some early "spuds" and
found the hills potato-less.
