Pure Springs About Augusta
And Their Commercial Value.

Maine aboriginies in the old days had
their manufacturing centres, their
summer resorts and even their sana-
forums like the white men of today.
On the Kennebec their manufacture
ing centre was at Popham, which ac-
counts for the many souvenirs of
hammer heads, arrow heads, axes,
tomahawks, SO often uncovered from
its sands. At Damariscotta, on the
Sheepscot, they assembled to feast on
oysters, leaving behind the shell heaps
of that place. On Pleasant PIT in
Merrymeeting the Kennebecases, An
droseoggins and visitors from other
tribes, every harvest moon, enjoyed
sweet corn feast and banquets on
broiled wild ducks. The sanatorium

Of late years, has been known as Bet
sy Howard Hill, the forest clad back
ground of the southwestern suburb of
Augusta. Here the Indians brought
their invalids and came themselves to
drink the crystalline waters of the
string of bubbling hillside springs.
Not only the Indians but the early
settlers of Cushnoc, enjoyed the pure
waters and thus kept well and strong.
During the Civil war the soldiers as
sembling to be sent South and camp
ing near the hill, enjoyed drinking
from these springs.
The most important of this line of
springs in this locality is the Glen
wood, rather Economically situated in
a little wood and glen near the foot
of the hill with a pond on one side

the ledge itself.

Publicity Commission

The following bulletin from The
Louisiana Publicity Commission, with
headauarter at Baton Rouge, will be
of interest to our readers.
In this, our first bulletin, submitted
to the press OF the state, we desire to
set forth the aims of this commission
in condensed form.
First and foremost, we hope to give
practical publicity to our state by
campaign in the interest of the pro.
ducers and shippers of Louisiana pro.
ducts. First distributing our products
so far as practical within our state,
and proftably marketing the surplus
outside money to Louisiana; establish a
bureau in the north to facilitate the
sale of perishable crops.
We wish to assist in home exploita.
ton, encouragement and organization,
gathering and publishing reliable in
formation about our products. Our
ultimate aim being to demonstrate to
the people and our legislature that this
work must be taken up and further de.
yeloped by the state.
At present the corn crop is attract.
ing our interest. We find that the corn
territory, as indicated by answers so
far secured to four hundred inquiries,
will yield large surplus and confer.
ence with Mr.. Mason Snowden, State
Agent of the Federal Cooperative and
Demonstration Work, indicates thata
large portion of this surplus should be
distributed within the state.
Facilities for selling are inadequate
in many territories, and we would be
glad to put those of the state, who may
need TO purchase feed, ia touch with
those offering corn for sale. This done
together with the cash derived from
export sales, viii demonstrate that
Louisiana is the place for the corn
farmer to look for corn land.
Short forage crops in the north and
west will induce early feeding of stock
and the present apparent shortage WILL
in all probability. be more manifest as
the winter advances.
