THE extraordinary significance of

Hon. Arthhr b. Chaplin of Bangor,

Maine State Board of Trade it gave him
great pleasure TO have this opportunity to
say few words in support of this move
ment for the development of Maine.
The speaker believes, he continued.
that every organization in this state
should be working at all times for the
advancement the Improvement and the
development of our state whose future
is very bright and fun of promise. There
is important work for us to do. There is
no state in the Union. that has more at
