though women do not elcctioneer or

they have been ever Since the world

without pomp or pretcnse or blare Oh

The suggestion that Maine eX-
hibit should b. secured by private
subscriptions since the Legislature
had failed to provide for one. has been
referred to approvingly in these col
umns. The Maine Farmer proposes
that the State Board Of Trade take the
matter actively i'll hand. and thinks
that through the various local Boards,
reinforced by the efforts of the press.
a feasible plan Of securing an exhibit
for Maine can still be worked out. If
state representation at the JamestoW n
Exposition would be good business
investment in advertising Maine and
her attractions ana natural resources,
our state and local boards of trade
should have no great difficulty in
promptly raising the sum needed But
it is a little late in the day. and if
anything is done in organizing a pop
ular subscription it must be done
without delay.

unused but landmarks of the early
days Of Names history. And how
often in traversing these country
l"ads have people wondered why those
early settlers built them over the
highest hills when it was no further
ana much easier round the base Of the
hill.
The. hil towns Of Maine are The his
toric towns; they are generally among
the earlier settled places. aside from
those on the rivers OF at some place in
the river valleys whore rips or dam
gave Il good mill sitc-for these mill
sites were among the places first util-
lied by the early settlers. The hill
towns have Il history all their own
and there are two chief reasons why
the early settlements in Maine. and
especially in New England We're maze
upon the high elevations.
One Of these was the immunity from
frc:5ts. our early settlers were an
agricultural rather than a trading or
manufacturing people; and as in all
new countries before the forests had
been cleared to amy extent, farms were
located upon the highest hills because
there the danger from late spring and
early fall frosts was less than upon
the lpwland farms or in the river
valleys The great ANA productive
farms Of the earlier days in Maine
were the hill farms-there were the
fine fields. the good orchards and the
big stone walls. Corn could be plant
ed on these hill farms as late as June
Il ana ripen Il good crop: while com
Il hi hs
hard frost in August tiat would
greatly njurC the yield. Comfort ana
prosperity in farming operations were
found in greatest abundance on the
hill and the hill farms, or the MI
towns. were typical Of that which was
best in our early civilization.
Another reason why the early
settlers sought the hill locations for
their towns Or their farms was as Il
projections from the Indians. One
settler cleared Il hill for a farm ana
home that lie might be better on the
watch for the approach Of the Indian
for in those days many were the
farmers who took their guns with
them when at work in the hcldS'
singular as this may seem to those OF
the present generation. Then came
another settler on the hill for the same
purpose and for the advantage OF
ncighbors and 50 tn community grew
to a little village ana then to a town
with its postofiicc and church
The hill towns are monuments OF
our earliest settlements. our earliest
community life and our earliest civIll-
zation They arc now simply land
marks of Il former period III IN"
history of our State. but they should
be held i'll reverence for these were the
beginnings Of our sturdy indepch-
dencc. our high moral character ana
the foundation Of our material pros
pcrity.

In many cases there are old villages so

o!d-style church. We recall several

Instances, the old country roads went

at the extreme summit was located the
country church. Readers can recall
