a hotel next season as the Riverside is
to be opened under the management of
John H. Stacey People missed not
having any hotel at POpham last year
and if the ROckledge could be opened
too it is probable that it would be Il
good thing for Popham as well as for
the owners.
That thirsty feeling has been very
pronounced in Bangor during the past
year and as result there were 1884
arrests for drunkenness for the nine
months between April and Dec. 81, as
against 1926 for the whole of the pre-
ceding municipal year.
We hope the editor of the ArOoStook
Republican will get back those lost
gloves. He devOtes whole column in
ii recent issue to bewailing their
mysterious disappearance and it will
be an unfeeling wretch who can keep
them after reading the editors plea.

The Gardiner Reportcr-Journal man
is happy over the return of IL lost foun-
tain pen. Says he: I'VE have used il
for three or four years, and have writ
ten miles of copy with it. Very rarely
has it Wecped. or soilcd the editorial
fingers. and its point now is better
than the new one that we borrowed to
take its place. There was man once
who upon being asked if he used Il
fountain pen. said No. not since
joined the church. This one would be
all right for church members. Bv
filling it once Il day. which shows the
amount of work it does it is always
l"ady ana never fails to respond to all
the work that we can find subjects for
1t to write upon. 1t is q good old pen.
and we willingly separated oursclf
from quarter Of dollar TO give the
Kid who returned it
