report the outlook for good crops is
all that could be desired. Everything
is growing rapidly, and with warm.sun
shiny weather for ten days most of the
damage inflicted by storms in various
portions of the state will be overcome,
crops will improve rapidly, and much
needed cultivation will be accom-

This policy universally pursued is All

themselves out of work And soon the.

Whereas if they had left their money with
the savings banks they would have hac
both money and work
Let me explain how this operates to
produce this double clamity. Savings
banks are large depositors in national
banks. If the savings banks are COM
PEELED to with Draw their deposits from
the national banks to pay their deposit
tors, the latter have less money for their
customers, and they are unable to loan
money to builders, for instance, the
builders cannot go on with their business
and are compelled to discharge their la
borerS.
So intimate and direct is the intercourse
between banks, business men and labor
ers in the vital matter of money that it
has been aptly characterized as the life
blood of business What is true in the
instance of builders is true of all our
manufacturing Industries. When money
hides through fear it is idle. Idle money
stagnates in the veins of business and
produces paralysis.

CAPTAIN BOYD OBJECTED.
Another of Those Famous Cape Elizabeth
Town Meetings.

Cape Elizabeth has had another OF the
famous town meetings that will send her
name down into history. Mr.. Haskell
presided of course, and the matter OF
the construction of sewers was taken up.
Captain A. D. Boyd objected. He called
attention to the warrant, and said that
the article they were trying to act ON
was too indefinite. 1t might mean that
they were to build a sewer the length of
county road or only short distance.
He wanted the exact distance stated.
After some discussion, the vote was tax
en-, and the sewer article was passed.
Then Captain Boyd called attention to
the fact that "You can't build sewer
on wind" and reminded them that there
was nothing in the warrant about appro-
priating money for a sewer. Captain
Boyd then called their attention to the
fact that they could only act at a special
meeting on the articles in the warrant,
and under the circumstances expressed
his doubts, and he acknowledged that
they were grave doubts, whether there
would be sewer built at all. The meet
ing then adjourned. Another meeting
may be called to appropriate the money,
but in that case Captain Boyd may have
enough of the farmers out to defeat the
entire plan. Captain Boyd is feeling
well over the prospect

which of course Mr.. McCallum plays the
title role. His Interpretation of the
honest hearted Swede is perfection itself,
and the comedy is one which has always
been popular here and has lost nothing
since the last production. The parts are
we'll assigned. Miss Hamilton plays Mrs.
Jordan in finished and pleasing man
ner. Miss Ryan as Gennie, has part
different from any she has done this sea-
son, and she plays it very attractively,
looking very pretty and acting with much
grace and chic. Miss Foley as Mrs.
O'Flannagan, makes an able second to
Mr.. McCallum in his efforts in the comedy
line. Mr.. Henry as the eccentric doctor
and Messrs. King and Armstrong as the
villains are very good indeed. Ole Ole
son is sure to draw crowded houses.
Fleurette remains this week in new
specialties and Baby Gladys dances are
good.

bridge when he saw the grass was all on
fire on the side of the bridge, and the
timbers were already burning. He had

carriage and, by the aid of a long stick
that he found and his whip, he whipped
the flames out before serious damage
was done. 1t was fortunate he happened
along when he did. The fire had evil

North Conway Coaching Parade.

The third annual coaching parade
which takes place next Thursday at
North Conway, is expected to surpass
any previous effort in that direction.
Preparations were begun on the decora-
tions for some of the coaches over two
weeks ago and now little else is talked of
in that village. Large parties from the
east side attended the parade in Bethle-
hem. They witnessed it and returned
home determined to surpass it. Another
impetus to the ambition of the different
hotels is the fact that thirty banners will
be competed for, which lends to the
affair touch of excitement and good
natured rivalry which was somewhat
missed on the other side. 1t is anticipated
that there will be more coaches in line
than were ever before seen. General M.
C. Wentworth will act as grand marshal
of the parade, which is guarantee for
it's promptness and ORDER. The process
ion will, as formerly, form in front Of
Birchmont, the summer residence of
Payson Tucker, the vice president and
general manager of the Maine Central
railroad, and pass through Kearsarge vii
lage to Intervale and back to the judges
stand at North Conway.
