Across the Causeway from WalSng-
ham lies st. Georges, the ancient cap
ital, on the edge of a fine harboT
There is a radical difference between
Hamilton and st. Georges. Hamilton
has been laid out and built on modern
lines; st. Georges reveals it's age in
narrow, winding streets and old-fash-
toned buildings of Spanish type, some
colored pink and pale blue, as fancy
struck the owners. Hamilton is the
center of gayety; ST. Georges is more
subdued. and the artist finds a source
of delight in its quaint atmosphere.
Between the towns, and also west
Of Hamilton, are many farms. Ber-
muda Is a colony without factories,
and large element of it's population
Is engaged In agricultural pursuits.
The farms are insignificant, judged by
American standards, and one does not
find In Bermuda great meadows and
pastures. Instead there are small
patches of brick-red soil, hedged by
oleander with a background of cedars,
in which redbirds and bluebirds build
their nests and silk spiders spin. In
sheltered spots near the comfortable
white-stone farm cottages there are
clumps of bananas, with broad green
leaves. a paw-paw tree or two, some
palmettos and pomegranates, and al
ways a generous number of Towering
shrubs, with unfamiliar names

THE JADED MAN.
Places That Tom Moore and Mark
Twain Loved and Praised.

In any description of the bermuda
Islands, it is always desirable to give
their geographical position, for many
people think them to be a part OF the
West Indies, As a matter of fact, Ber-
muda lies 666 miles southeast of New
York, in the latitude of Charleston,
and less than forty-eight hours from
the METROPOLIS The islands stand
alone on the top of a submarine noun

most northerly coral reef in the world

eller discovered their remarkable

Distinctive Printing

COMEONE tells story of a great artist
~ who, being asked by student what he
mixed with his paint to get such sue
cessful results, replied brains"
Now that is just the answer we should
make to you, Mr.. Merchant, if you asked us
how the Journal print shop is able to produce
better printing---more distinctive printing.
Distinctive printing is more than just
bare materials and labor. It is more than
mere luck that gives you individuality.
It is SERVICE plus BRAINS. Service
print shops like ours inspire distinctive ideas.
The Kennebec Journal Press takes mass of
raw materials and creates live, business
getting piece of business literature We en-
dow it with brains. We make it speak. For
instance, in the case of booklet, we select
the paper that has the necessary attention
value in color and finish, we arrange the cuts
and the type SO that they grip the attention,
we choose the ink that is most harmonious
Result: Your booklet is the one chosen from
the crowd You get a special audience.
