MORE GOVERNMENT OWNER.
SHIP

Now comes Douglass Fairbanks
back from his trip abroad convinced
from what he has seen in Russia
that the Government should take
possession Of the films and control
them for the betterment Of mankind;
that 90 we could have good pictures
with which to educate our children.
The value of moving pictures ap-
piled to educating children is sub
ject to varying estimates according
to view point. Education does not
wholly or largely consist in nemoriZ-
ing either usually or aurally. either
by way Of the eyes or the ears. But
be that as it may. the films are a
medium in education not to be
neglected. and Of course they should
DO suitable for such purposes when
applied. But the Government does
not own or control all the textbooks.
The Government Is trying to con-
troll the radio and some of the folks
dare not leave that control in the
hands Of cabinet minister for fear
he might be tempted at some time
to use it for political or personal
uses. Surely the films would be as
susceptible to such malign purposes.
Douglass would insist. moreover,
that artistry be not sacrificed. Won
der how Senator Sorghum and
Doug" might agree respecting
artistry"

addressing Judge Gleszer, declared
before heaven that the guilt was

frenzied appeal in behalf of her boy.
and demanding that he be set free
and she herself sent to Jail.
After a conference between the
court and officials a new warrant
was sworn out, charging the mother
with unlawful possession of liquor,
to which she pleaded guilty. Then,
reluctantly, Judge Gleszer sentenced

months additional in default of pay

criticizing Maine Sardines

(POrtland HreSS-i GIdlO)
General Mark L. Hersey in a re-
cent letter severely criticized the
wav in which the Maine sardine is
packed and the canners and others
who are interested in this industry
have taken exception to what he
said.
The packing of sardines is one OF
the States most important in
dustries. 1t is carried on all along
the coast but is largely centered in
and about Passamaquoddy Bay.
The small fish which are caught off
the Maine coast in vast quantities
are exactly the same kind of fish
that are caught and packed in Nor
way and other European countries.
The Maine pack is equal to that
which comes from abroad. The
canning factories in and about East
port are models of cleanliness. They
are equipped with the latest and
most efficient type of machines.
The people engaged in this business
are experienced and painstaking and
if anything the Maine sardine is
better in every way than anything
That is placed on the market.
1t is inherent in some people to find
fault with home products and to
discover merit in things which are
produced far away or which are i'm
ported from foreign lands. This is
often due to lack of information
concerning the things made or pro-
duced near home. 1t probably ac-
counts for the criticism which has
been made Of the Maine sardines.
The market for this product is be-
ing steadily widened. Immediately
after the war the sardine business
suffered from an over production, or
the market for canned fish became
curtailed, but today there is a con-
stantly increasing demand for Maine
packed fish and it is solely due to the
fact that it is better in great many
ways to any other type Of timed
sardine that can be found.
It Is probable that many Maine
people do not know this. Possibly
some Of them may purchase foreign
packed fish because they think they
are better. But if they are labor
ing under this impression it must
be because they have not tried the
product of the factories Of their own
State. Before they criticize they
should be sure that they are we'll in
formed. and the best way to get in
formed would be to try the Maine

Yes, sir. All the furry and feath-

pie are lucky, and why shouldn't Mr..
Lefthindfoot be? Lucky was his
first name And although Willie
Shakespeare once asked whats in
a name?" I'll tell the Rabbit world

that Just at lunch time he should be

something, 1t always turned out bet
ter in the end to let him have his
way.
In a few minutes she came scamp
ering down the walk under the

seated the old gentleman bunny, his
blue silk polkadot handkerchief tied
over the top of his precious wedding
stovepipe hat and under his chin to
hold it safely on his head when Billy
Breeze whistled among the trees.
"Now weed the garden while I'm
gone
And mend the picket fence,
Make sure to earn by Saturday

knowing how lazy was the old fowl
when no one was around to watch
him. Then away sped dear Uncle
Lucky down Lettuce Avenue. that
