An their music thrilled sweet through
the shadows o gray
Sing ii that way!
Even in winter some joy will remain
Sing II that way!

Sing it that way,
Love shall illumine the shadows of gray,
And Heaven, in Lifes future. one sweet
word will say
Sing ii that way,
Frank l.. Stanton.

The Pennington Chronicle declar as
that to one who has watched even in
cursory way the spread of the orange
hawkweed in Franklin county the past
twenty-five years. the rapjdity with
which this perniciOus weed is dis
tributing itself over that portion Of
Maine is nothing short of alarm ming.
The orange hawkwae1 first appeared
in the town of Strong a little less than
30 years ago and because it had 4
bright. pretty flower 1t was cherished

that the downy seeds were flying hith nr
and thither. Still no anicxty was felt
and the plant was allowed To have its
own bad way. 1t is now seen that this
was a great mistake. The pest is now
appearing as far south as Chestervilla
and seems to be very generally rooted
and grounded i'm that section.

direct saving of money, they have thu
additional advantage of greater privacy
and the opportunity 10 rest when they
feel like resting. This movement may
be bit hard on the hotel prOprietOrs,
but it will make for the greater and
more permanent prosperity of those re-
sorts where it's effects are felt.
