cooking and eating the mischief lies. The

under such depressing conditions Maine
has we'll held her own with all other
summer resorts in entertaining visitors
ana In the sale of resort property and the
opanlng of new attractions. ssAl
transportation lines sill along shore

In say ing that Maine is today in good

It seems to me, then, that every argu-
ment is in favor of thorough and syste-
matte advertising Of tnese minor resorts

formation as to where it should be

where people wish Information. In course
of time even by the present word-of-

minor resorts would become generally
known. But this is an age of progress,
and while we like sluggards are sleeping,
some other state or some proyin oe will
step to the fro mt and take this same step.

that If the smaller places want to be
known let them do their own advertis-
Ing; but that is narrow way in which
to view the question. The impossibility

are at once obvious although would
say in passing, that some places, notab-
ly Blue Hill, have advertised extensively

ing great material prosperity to our state
