We be in the wrong, being as It is agin
Our principle to apologize.
When the editor of paper begins
to apologize and admits that he's
wrong then folks thinks he amt got
no more spine or spunk than a jelly
fish and first thing he knows he's apol-
ogising to everybuddy right and left
The worst part of it is that the more
a edditor apologies the more he is
expedited to apologize, and as a result
it amt long until his paper amt got
nothink much in except apologies, and
who wants to read a paper full of them
things? -.
For this reason we have been very
keerful about apologising to emmy per-
son and we wish our subscribers to I'M
derstand that becuz we apologize in
this instants we amt setting no prece-
dent which We be a going to foller in
the fuchure. Jest becuz we apologize
onct amt no sign that we will ever
apologize agin.

offs for a copy of the Bugle wk be-
fore and heerd what we was saying
she went right out agin and we have
understood that Polly told all over
town that she never heerd SIGH lang
widge as we used. All we have to say
is that's very pecooliar, as Polly's faith
er is one of the most profane men in
Bingville. He swears when they amt
no excuse for 1t too, and if Polly amt
never heerd her father swear and
thinks we can do purity well in this
line she ort to ask her own dad to let

Well, settin up this ad put US behint
time agin so that we was a day late
gettin out the Boogle, and when we

EDDYTORIUL

Being as there amt nothink so
very turrible important to write
a eddytoriul on this wk, we have
desided instid of writing a long
vigorous eddytoriu1 to dash off a
few eddytoriul squibs for change.
We have did this onct in a while
in the past when we was at loss
to write long eddytoriul & on
each occashion they appeared they
was well received by Our army of
readers. Thus emboldened by past
triurnfs in this line, as you might
say, we are a going to repeat the
dose herewith.
The principal difference betwixt
a long eddytoriul and eddytoriul
squibs is that one is longer and
tother shorter. respectfully. You
will observe, however, that these
squibs still has the eddytoriul
flavor, as it were, and that the
word "WE" appears jest as often
as in the longer eddytoriul.
We have often been asked by
Bugle readers why we use the word
1--WE" when writing eddytoriuls,
being as that sounded as if some
buddy helped US to write EN- and
that we said 1--WE" for that rea-
son. We have even been askd if
our wife helped us to write our
eddytoriuls, being as we used the
word 1--WE" so much, referring, as
some of our more ignorunter read
ers thort, to the matrimonial firm.
Such, however, is not the case.
Neither our wife nor nobuddy else
ever had hand in writing even
one of our eddytoriuls-we have,
on the contrary, did this work our
self in the toll & SWEET of mental
anguish without no help from no.
buddy.
The reason we ailus use the
word 1--WE" when we write a eddy
toriul is that 1t is custummary fol-
eddytoriul writers to do so anc
when they do so they refer strickly
| to theirself and to nobuddy else

FROSTED +!
This Is a TuTibIe Calamity to
BingViIlains Who Depend on
BIuebeTries Being as They Sell
What They Can and Can What
They Can't-FuII PaTtiCkIers
Below!

We report with awful sadness in our
heart that last Tuesday night the blue
berries in the vicinity of Bingville was
frosted This is a dreadful blow to the
inhabitants of this town which it will
take EN- quite spell to recover from.
1t was a big surprise to them as riz
up early last Tuesday morning to see
frost on the roofs of houses being as
this is very early for frost in this neck
of woods. AS rule we don't have
frost in these parts until along lords
the last of September, but this yr. was
a excepslion. Of course, the excep-
shion only proves the rule, but that
amt no comfort to them as likes blue
berries.
Nobuddy thort that the frost was
heavy enuff to hurt the blueberries any
until Sim Wilkins carly Wensday morn
ing tux gal. pail and went on top of
the hill back of his house to pick enuff
blueberries for pie being as Sims
wife Samantha told him that if he
would go and pick the blueberries she
would bake the pie for him. Sim is a
great hand for BURBERRY pie and so he
grabbed the pail and hiked right out.
Sim says there's only one pie that he
likes better than a BURBERRY pie, and
that's another burberry pie jest like
it. Sim has been knowd to etc two
burberry pies at one sitting.
Well, when Sim reached the top of
the hill his feelings can better be
imagined than realized when he dis
covered that every blueberry was frost
bit and not worth the picl1in. Sim he
come back home lookin sad and when
he announced that the blueberries had
been frosted the news spread all over
Bingville in no time, and was the talk
of the town.
II was TUX the hardest by them as
picks blueberries for sale. Several Bing-
Vile folks does this, in Jacks, some of
Our most respeckted citizens, and drives
to the co. seat with them, where they
sell EN- for as much as they can get
per qt., or if they cant get that much,
then for less, ruthern lug EN- all the
way back to Bingville agin,
This is a turrible calamity In our
midst, but we must bear 1t bravely and
go without blueberries we calkilate,
LATER-Sinst writing the above we
have learnt on good authority that
things amt as bad as they seemed. Glen
Wilson has just returned from a trip
to the top of Sawridge Mountaing,
where he went TO spot out some timber
line boundaries, and lem reports that
on top of the Mountaing blueberries is
thickern fleas on a dogs back.
1t is our opinion that while the blue
berries lower down was frosted. them
on top OF the mountaing is jest as good
as ever, so let US rejoice becuz there
Is suffishent blueberries for all.

more or less success, other printers
have ever since initiated him. OF late
years. however, the issuing of news
paper almanacs has fallen into a low
estate in many a big city But the
New York World Almanac for 1912 is
an exception. 1t fills a want every
place, as it is compilation universal
iii scope, and not local, partisan or
political solely. 1t seems to grow
greater and better with years and
experience. 1t is a condensed en-
eyelopaedia of many volumes. It
gives information and statistics upon
almost every conceivable topic 1t
touches human interest at every point.
It is library you can hold in one

come TO look upon the continent as
one of their inalienable rights Of
which the trusts are now accused OF
depriving them. For many years the
free catsup bottle has been an import
ant feature of the lunch counters at
which an army of nearly half mil
lion workers are accustomed to snatch
their MONDAY repast at cost OF
from five to fifteen cents. and the
amount which has daily been consum-
ed without charge would be sufficient
to float good sized ship. Now, how
ever, the edict has gone forth that be-
cause of the increased cost of food
there will be no more free catsup
served with low priced meals. Per-
sons consuming only five-cent lunch
will if they want catsup, be compelled
to pay five cents for it. Consumers
will receive free a half portion-that
is one small dab-while the gourmand
of the quick lunch counter who con-
sumes a twenty-five cent meal will
receive free of charge full portion

midday meals, and there have been
many of them during the last year.

ton, and already talk has been
heard in Gotham of the establishment
of a political body pledged to give it's
vote only to such candidates as shall
work for the restoration of the free

the reduction of the price of food.

The Re- Districting FoozIe.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
The convening of the special session
OF the Legislature on the goth of
March next is too late to justify one
of the threel reasons given for its
call No re-districting act that it
may pass creating new congressional
district lines can become effective in
season for the primaries and election
of this year, as none of its laws will
become effective until 80 days after
Its adjournment unless they are
made emergency measures by two
thirds vote of the House and Senate,
and the majority party cannot COM
mand that number of votes. Further
re- districting is not within the
emergency provisions. The present
congressional districts Congress has
declared shall continue until changed
by legislative acts, in those states
where present apportionmcnt of men,
bers is the same as under the prior
apportionment by Congress. No one
at Washington believes but what the
Federal law is in force wherever il
does not conflict with the state law.
The present National House of
Representatives having made the
declaration as to the continuance of
districts last summer. would of ne
eessity recognize the election of mem
bers from the old districts in this
State. the Legislature having failed
to create in season new districts. and
the National House is the sole judge
as to the election of its own members.
