How it Pays the Banks.
Rockland Courier-GaZette.


Occasionally. even in these enlight-
cncd days, we hear a business man re-
peat the messy opinion that "advertis-
ing doesn't pay" Good advertising
properly brought forward in good news
papers pays--w" are convinced of this.
An interesting illustration we believe
ear be found in the case of the Rock
land banks. Only Il little while ago it
was one of the tenctS in local banking
circles that newspaper advertising was
not a thing to be INDUCED in by a fnan-
cial institution. This is not the view
entertained by banks elsewhere, but
here il governed. Within a few months
past all this has changed, the banks
are irtclligcntly advcrtisinG-and with
what result? Look at their deposit ac-
counts, every one Of them swellcd visi-
bly,. The advertising didn't create
money. but it attracted attention, 1t
fetched money out of stockings and
other insecure hcarding- places, il
brought home funds that had been de-
posted at Il distance. We are confident
that Il large proportion of this great
increase in bank deposits, conducting to
the prosperity and safety Of local inter
csts generally, is directly traceablc tC
iudicious newspaper advertising.

F future for the Filipinos.

Under the statute which goes into

years Of British ascendancy. The edu-
Gated Filipino knows these things He
knows that the United States. after
only nine years of dominion, is grant

Japan. an Asiatic nation. Moreover,
the measure of self-rule which we are

only the beginning of concessions
which probably are ultimately to COM
prise an autonomy much like that
which Canada and Australia have IN

Rev Henry $. Burrage of the
Maine Historical Society in a letter
to the Portland Press says:
August 20, 1862. the Maine His
toriCal Society celebrated the TWO
hundred and fifth anniversary of
the landing of the Popham colony at
the mouth of the Kcnncbec. The
United States government WAS then
engaged in constructing at the en-
trance of the river fort to which,
at the request of the Historical So
ciety, the name of Fort Popham was
given. At this celebration the grand
lodge of Maine is said To have laid in
the wall Of the fort Il memorial
stone. The Popham Memorial vol
ume, on pages $3.50, has an account
OF the Masonic ceremonies connected
with the laying. of this memorial
stone. Moreover. in the "Pr0ceed-
ings' of the grand lodge for 1863, in
the. address of Grand Master Drum
mond, this paragraph is found.
"m August last l called special
communication of the grand lodge
and at the request of the Maine His
tofical Society laid iii the wall at

that society to commemorate the first

Il place in the wall of Fort POpham.
1t was boxed in order that the GIN
scription might receive no injury.
Since 1862. it has been ascertained
thar Popham'S Fort st. George did
not occupy the site of Fort Popham,
and year ago the Historical Society
received permission from the war
department to remove the memorial
stone from the yard of Fort Popham,
and place it on the now known loCa-
ton. But on account of the weight
OF the stone and in order to give it
Il place in a new design. the stone
was rediSed in size and then con-
vcyed to It's new position.
But how is the fact to be explained
that the memorial stone was placed
in the wall Of the fort in 1862. and
yet has been in the yard of the fort
for Il great many years in a condition
which seems to indicate that it has
