Bangor are sending out with the invi-
tations to the local boards the follow
ing circular relative to the Good Roads
campaign. inaugurated at the semi
annual session in Augusta.
To the Maine Board of Trade
The Maine state Board of Trade,
ever jealous in its championship of inn
proved highways. reminds the boards
throughout the State THAT there is OPP
portunity for effective work in the
campaign about being inaugurated in
Maine.
At the State Boards semi=annual
meeting in March the Maine Legisla-
ture was strongly urged to submit to
the voters an amendment to the con-
stitution. enabling the State to issue
bonds not exceeding $2,000.000, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to the building and
maintenance of State highways. The
Mainef Automobile Association, the
Maine Hotel Proprietors' Association
and other business organizations ac-
lively co-operated in this movement
and the outcome was that the Maine
Legislature, assembled in special ses-
sion, granted the request.
This important matter is. therefore,
to come up for consideration at the
September election. Members of Boards
of Trade and business organizations
throughout Maine are urged TO be viii
igent 10 the end that the proposed
amendment be given a passage by a
large majority, thus assuring nota-
BILE progress in behalf of good roads.

This is the shedding season now and
the Holsters are crawling under rocks
and consequently don't get into trops
as they do earlier in the summer. At
Monhegan and .Crie Haven, known as
the best lobster grounds along the
Maine coast. the season is closed for
a distance Of three miles eff the
shores. The catch of Holsters in 1910
and 1911 was the largest for any time
during the past Ia or Is years. Some
say that they are more plentiful. others
that the fishermen are going greater
distances for them and others that
there are more fishermen
Speaking of the sardine situation.
Mr.. Donollue said that the season
would be a dull one. Several factories
have not opened as vet and those that
are running will pack much less than
last summer The reason is that the
pack last year, was unusually large in
fact. more than was needed. and the
market was consequently flooded and
not until the oversuppy is disposed of
will the situation become normal.
Herring are plentiful, this summer,
although not so pfuch so as last sum-
mer. which WAS an unusual year. Mr..
poaohue suggested that the packers
should get together and by regulating
the pack could prevent such ccndi-
ton as exists at the present time. In
Eastport. particularly, it will be a hard
season for hundreds of people who de-
pend ON this industry for their liveli-
hood.
The commissioner stated that advan-
tase is being taken quite generally of
the new law, which allows seectmen of
towns along the coast to lease of the
State clam fats and that In number
of cases clans have been planted by
private individuals. Under this law
persons by making applications to the
selectnen may where the upland own
err does not care to take advantage of
the privilege, lease one-quarter of the
flats for a period of five and not more
than 10 years. Where planting is done,
a benefit aecrues to the other three
quarters as the spawn drift to adjoin-
ing flats and seed. The privilege is be-
coming more and more popular

IT is true that in one of the official
sacrifices bread was to be baked with
leaven; but this, we believe, was for
the very purpose of symbolizing or repre-
senting us, the Church, and the fact
that we were by nature sinners, children
of wrath. even as others, and that the
baking would arrest the eorrupting SO
fuenees OF the leaven: and this baking
represented symbolically the experiences
through which the Church must pass in
order that sinful and ycorrupting tenden-
cies might be completely destroyed in us.
In this parable our Lord represents
woman mixing leaven with family
baking of NEAL with the result that the
whole mass was leavened. Consequently,
if any of the family desired pure, I'M
leavened bread, it would be unobtainable.
because the leaven pervaded the entire
baking. What does this representa- We
reply that in scriptural symbolism
woman represents an ecclesiastical sys-
tenn. The woman in the parable repre-
sents a system organized and in power
at an early date, and possessed of the
pure sfneal-the pure food provided by the
Lord for the household of faith.
The woman mixed leaven, error. false
doctrine, WITH all tie meal, VIII Oh 80
food supplied, Not particle of 1t was
left uneontaminated. The results has
been Indigestion. The Word of God, orr
ginany pure, is no longer accepted. The
leaven, or fermentation, has spread SO
that today the entire mass of theologi-
cal doctrine Is offensive to all Christian
people of all denominations
The parable was prophecy of what
has occurred 1t is time all true Chris
tians were hearkening back from the
creeds of the Dark Ages to the Words
of Jesus, the Apostles and the Prophets.
