worse until the end came peacefully

the last She was faithful member

ant smile for all and was the sunshine
of her home where she will be greatly
missed

Skowhegan Should Lead

Among the good things that got by
the late Legislature, was a bill with
an appropriation to pay two-thirds oil
the salary cost to any town that IN
PRODUCES manual training, domestic
science or agriculture into its public
schools. AS we understand the law
that will lessen the cost of our man
ual training department, SO there Is
no reason now why we cannot have
, domestic science in our schools next
year. OF course we have several
months in which to decide the ques-
ton, but why wait? Isn't it worth
something to have the news go forth
that Skowhegan is the first town In
the State to seize this new opportu-
nifty? Wouldn't that be both cheap
and effective advertising? Publicity
makes town grow just as if it we're
a business.

Boom Maine

The Portland Board of Trade is
taking leaf from the book of ex-
perience in thriving western towns
The man who fails to second their eff
forts to let the world know what a
grand place the Sunrise State" is,
had better not be asking for any 9TH
er good opportunities. Systematic
booming has done wonders for the
west, and in places where the boun-
ties of nature cannot compare with
what is ours to enjoy.
When our Portland friends open
that Corn and Produce Show down or
Casco Bay next November, theye
ought to be one booth for the Gar.
den Spot of America" with Skowhe-
gan in letters large enough for ev-
eryone to read There will be an OPP
portunity to show people some of the
things we have to make life worth
while, and stimulate a desire to come
and make their homes in our midst.
The Maine Seed improvement As
sociation showed what a little CO.
operative effort along these lines will
do. They took an exhibit out to the
National Corn show and there demon
started that Maine products are the
BEST IN THE WORLD. We have
farmers here who are second to none,
but left to themselves there is little
inducement to go into enterprises of
that sort. We need the get-together-
spirit, and more team work to get all
that there is to be had Our Board of
Trade will have great opportunity
to take the lead in proving that Show
hogan is everything that we have
claimed, and then some.

NERVOUS AND SEEING THINGS

in THE last issue of the Cecil
Democrat, the editor does some
most astounding houndering in
his discussion o. the tax rate ques-
ton. He quotes the Wing" as
saying something about the tax
rate of 1906 Ito which year we
have never alluded); he refers to
what the record shows at the
close OF the fiscal year 1909
(Which IS too far back in the last
century to interest us); and finally
winds mp by charging that by their
extravaganza in 1905, the Repub-
licans piled up a debt OF $40, 500
(Which is too ridiculous state

We understand how nervous the
Democrats editorial column was
last week, lest ii should say some
thing that would put it on one

OF his present painful political posi-
ton and can let his mind work
nely--after he decides "WHERE
HE IS AT, or after it has been
decided for him.
