Profitable Maine Industrx

Annually about fifteen thousand pounds of spruce gum are gathered in Maine, and practically all of the crop is harvested in March. Gum pickers earn from one to six dollars a day, and as the crop never fails they do fairly we'll. The Maine crop Is larger than all the other states combined produce. The gum picker wears steel climbing spurs on his boots and in his belt he carries a light hatchet. Strapped to his waist Is a bag with wide mouth for the re- ception of the gum. Climbing a tree, the picker proceeds from limb to limb. chipping of the Jumps of gum as he finds them, until he reaches the top. Most of the gum Is caught in the wide open bag as it falls from the tree, while all that goes to the ground stands out in such relief upon the snow that 1t Is easily picked up.

NOT A NATION OF SAVERS
Tn the Matter of Thrift the United States Is Far Behind European
 Countries.

table prepared by pr Henry s. Williams for Moodys Magazine places the United States at the bottom of list of l5 countries as a nation of say CTS. The comparison Is on the num- Der of savings bank depositors per thousand of population and ranges from 554 in Switzerland to 99 in this country. Denmark, Norway, Sweden. Belgium and New Zealand follow the Swiss. France leads the big nations. then come Holland, Germany. Eng land, Australia. Japan and Italy.
 Our 10,S00 900 depositors, with their SAFES, 100000 deposits, or almost $40 per depositor, may be contrasted with Germanys 22,500,00O depositors with but s4,942 100000, or only s189 per head. The United Kingdom has all most 15,000000 depositors. but only a little over s1 1,250,O0O, 900. France has nearly as many depositors with cou- pie of hundred millions less. but this takes no account of the investments of French thrift Russia has 5000 900 depositors, but only SS0O000,0 ,000 be- tween them. Austria has $500. 900. with about the same amount as Great Britain Italy has as many depositors as Russia, but with one-fourth more deposits, Japan has about 20 900 900 depositors, but they do not average s9.
 The savings habit, it can be seen. is very much more general abroad where the opportunity Is very much less, Three-fourths of our saving Is being done In the New England and Eastern States. Then come the Middle West, the Pacific Coast, the South and the Western States

in many days. Originating spontan- eously at Vilonia and among the farmers living along the road, it has far better chance to succeed than if it had been started at Conway. It shows conclusively that the improve ment is desired by the people them selves, who will be directly benefited by it, as well as by the business in terests of Conway.
 One of the principal benefits which the Log Cabin Democrat has felt would be derived from the construc- ton of macadam streets in Conway is the desire which would thereby be created among the farmers of the county for continuation of these permanent highways out through the country. But it seems that Nilonia needs no example from Conway, and has even taken a step in advance of this city.
 A permanent highway from Con way to Vilonia, trayersible with full loads at all seasons of the year, will add $10 to the value of every acre of ground for a mile on either side of the road. It would do as much for the lands along the roads from Con- way to Martinville, from Conway to Quitman, from Conway to Mt. Yer non, from Conway to Cato, from Con- way to Mayhower and from Conway to Lollie. And we believe that many men now living will see the day when all these roads have been built.

Just Had to Lay.

A quaint little story is told of the early days of Miss Inez Milhoiland, the most beautiful suffragette in America" as she has been called.
 According to her father. it seems that even as a baby she was very strong-willed. One day her nurse came in despair to Mrs. Milholland and announced that she had found inez on the top of a haystack and that the child flatly refused to come down.
 Mrs. Milholland sallled forth to see what she could do in the matter, but all her coaxing was in vain.
 To her mothers entreaties Inez re. piled. firmly: There's a nasty old hen up here that won't lay har eggs, and I'm going to make her do it!"

Knots In Harness.

To loosen knots In harness. straps. cords, ropes, or even shoe strings, hammer the knot on all sides with a mallet or a piece of wood. turning the strap or rope around then dip in boiling water, holding 1t there a min. ute or two. according to size of knot to be loosened. Before doing so add little soap to the water, then with a sharply pointed instrument pick the knot loose. It can often be done with the fingers. Knots that have been pulled in harness or ropes for months or years can be loosened readily.

sf@S "NSiNis PcAiIiScfi iSttSt I IOlAl Little Rock, MT. A. w. Parke, the Nell known newspaper correspondent,
 in part;
 eoeator Clarke fared badly in two
 lsldue s,,lSdue to carelessness of his
 c2Ssg.ng water on two nJ Faulkner and Arkan- sas counties those leading in the fight for Senator Clarke seem to have taken quite an interest in the circuit Judgeship of that district, strongly op- posing G. w. Clark. They asked their friends to scratch his name, but neg lected, in most instances, to state there were two Clarkes to be found on the official ballot, and that the one to be scratched would be found near the bottom of the ticket The friends, always anxious to please, scratched the name of the first Clarke they same to, which lost vote for the sen- ator. Later they discovered another Clark, and scratched this name, too
 In his reference to the confusion between Clarke and Clark, Mr Parke has been misinformed, at least so far as the conditions in Faulkner county were concerned. The unfortunate op- position to George w. Clark in this county was purely on personal grounds and was divided almost equally between the supporters of Judge Kirby and those of Senator Clarke.
 Further, it is reflection upon the intelligence of the voters of Faulkner county which we do not believe is jus tified to say that they so blindly obey ed the instructions of those leading the fight for Senator Clarke as to scratch both Clarke and Clark from the ballots. It is our opinion that 99 per cent of those who voted in this county knew whom they wanted for senator and for circuit judge when they went to the polls.
 NNc nave Deen llllOTfflGu tIldL teE- tain over-enthusiastic supporters of the senator had promised him 800 ma jority in Faulkner county and that the senator has made some sarcastic remarks concerning these prophecies of his friends The Clarke and Clark story sent out by MT. Parke is doubt less the lame explanation which these enthusiasts have given for the Kirby majority in this county
 But the fact is, it is the Kirby sup porters who have right to feel dis appointed over the result in Faulkner county. The vote on March 25 was more than 1000 less than it was on January 6, when the county primary was held. Favorable weather for farm work kept that number of farm CTS away from the polls. As the vote in the rural townships averaged two to one for Kirby, the light vote reduc- ed his majority at least 300 in this county.

The Little Boy and His Dream
The little boy smiled in his sleep
that night
AS he wandered to Twilight Town;
And his face lit up with heavenly
light
Through the shadows that drifted
down.
But he woke next morn with q tear
stained eye
In the light Of tho gray dawn's
CLEAN,
And out of tho stiffness We heard him
cry,
i've lost my dream-my Dream.
And he told us then, in his childish
way,
OF the wonderful dream hsd
known:
He had wandered away from the
To the distant land of the Grown;>
He had won his share OF the fame
and fight
In the struggle OF toll and men.
And he sobbed and sighed In the
breaking light,
II want my dream again"
As the years passed by the Little Boy
Till be came to the Land of the
Grown:
And the dream or his early youth
came true.
The dream that he thought had
flown,
Yet once again ne smiled In his sleep.
When those near by might have
heard him weep,
IT want my dream-sny' dream"
For he dreamed of the Yesterdays OF
Youth,
And the smile of mothers face.
A heart Of old-time faith and truth
In the light OF an old home place.
He had won his share Of the fame
and fight
In the struggle and toll Of men
Yet he sebbed and sighed in this
breaking light,
II want my dream again.
Garland Rico.
