| Thinking of brighter day?
When YOU feel inclined to worry
! And YOU lack the heart to smile
Don't you think you'd better hurry
To do something worth your while?
When YOU fear the world is getting
Worse and worse. o feller man,
Why not stop your idle fretting
And be helpful where you can?
Don't you think you'd better try to
Wear a smile or sing a song?
It's a good old world to tie to
And to bravely help along.

be hard to think of. However, Bangor
gets much more than Augusta or Wa
terville are favored with.

$500 cows and if the same percentage
of diseased cows were found in the
animals that have not been tested. the
lumber would be in the ne,ghborhood
