is at hand and the subject that interests
men most hereabOutS is-when will the ice
be out of the lake and the fishing begin
Great preparations are being made for a
slaughter of the salmon this year. Indeed.
by the number of boats under construction
to be put into the lake this spring the
stranger passing through must think that
Liberty has become maritime port. No
less than SIX motor boats are under con-
Struction and numerous row boats. ... The
tannery is now running at full speed with
work in every department, Extensive re-
pairs will be made on the buildings this
summer. The yard is well stocked with
bark and wood and MIR. Walker is fast re-
gaining his health and is looking forward to
ID prosperous year in his business. The
busiest place in the village is Frank Ben
nett's machine shop. tie has just COM
pleted the machinery for the Adams &
Bartlett saw mill at Woodlands mills,
Sc rsmont, and is now at work on several
slave machines and motor boat. About Il
year ago. we stated, jokingly, in The
Journal that Bennett was making such
rapid strides in the Improvement in stave
mills that before many years he would have
them in such perfection that it would only
be necessary for man to throw bolt in
to hopper and remove the finished
barrel. 1t now looks as though that event
would be consummated much sooner than
was anticipated, for Bennett has nearly
completed an automatic stave machine
All that is needed is to put in bolt and the
machine does the rest and brings out a per-
feet finished Stave, thus saving much labor
and time. The foundry of G. A. Palmer is
| kept quite busy finishing the castings for
the Bennett machiuery... The several saw
I mills in the town are doing a fair business
| though not as we'll stocked as in former
years on account of the swamps not being
| frozen and the deep snow. ...... Memorial
| Day will be observed the same as last year,
with the same speaker and same choir.
| The old veterans and the people at large
were SO well pleased with the address of
| Rev. A. A. Smith of Belfast and the choir
| of the UniverSaliSt church of Belfast, that
| they requested that the management ex'
| tend them another invitation, which has
| been accepted, and we are delighted. The
services on Memorial Day will be as last
year, with the addition of a bass solo by Dr.
| W. L. Cargill of this village. The schools

MA CAN'T VOTE.

Mas graduate Of college, and she's read
most everything;
She can talk in French and German, she can
paint and she can sing
Beautiful, she's like picture! When she
talks she makes you think
Of the sweetest kind of music; and she
doesn't smoke or drink;
Oh, can't begin to tell you all the poems
she can quote;
She knows more than half the LAWYERS do.
but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters ma just al
ways linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to make
his meaning clear,
If he needs advice, her judgment, he admits,
is always best,
Every day she gives him pointers, mostly at
his own request;
She keeps track of legislation and is taxed
on bonds and stocks,
But she never gets a look-in at the sacred
ballot-box.
graduate,
And / doubt if he could tell you who is gov
erning the State;
He has never studied grammar, and I'll bet
he doesn't know
Whether Caesar lived thousand or two
thousand years ago;
He could never tell us how to keep the ship
of state aflOat,
For he doesn't know there's such thing
but ma can't vote.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling, they got
up short debate
That was on the tariff question he supposed
he had it straight,
But before they'd finished talking, he threw
up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about it nor re-
membered what he'd read;
He's too badly rushed to study how to bet
ter human lives,
Still he looms up like giant when election
time arrives.
Mrs. Gookins does our washing, for she has
to help along,
Taking care of her six children though her
husbands big and strong;
When he gets job he only holds it till he
draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whisky or else
CANDLES it away;
I suppose his brains no bigger than the
brain of any goat,
And he'd trade his ballot for drink-but
ma can't vote!
