Working Together.

When the people of single city
533,905 can raise 100000 with which
to seek trade in South America, be-
side supporting a magnificent board
of trade and several similar organiza-
lions 1t ought not to be very diff
ticult undertaking to raise $4,000, or
one-twentieth of that amount, among
the $4,000 inhabitants of Maine to
build up the business of the State.
People are pooling their resources in
these modern times in order to do big
things. Maine can do big things in
the business world if Maine people
will work together.
The Develop Maine Movement is en-
deavoring to raise a fund of $4,000
with which to get new farmers, new
business men. new capital and new in
dustries to come TO Maine. The
money will be spent in employing an
expert business getter, in advertising,
in gathering the necessary data, and
In getting out a complete roster OF
the places where summer and winter
tourists will be welcome. These funds
are being raised entirely through the
securing of members at 81 each.
Maine men and women who want
to see Maine develop and grow. can
accomplish more at small cost to
themselves by becoming members OF
this movement than they can ae-
complish in any other way Maine is
worth it. Her wonderful story has
never been told. 1t is time to tell 1t
and tell the whole of it so that all the
world may be convinced.

Editorial Comment
The Width and Depth of the War.
New York World

NlNtN 1 OTh WOIlu.1
Never before was war made so swift
ly wide. News OF it comes from Japan,
from Porto Rico, from Africa, from
places where N old days news of hos
tilities might not travel for months.
Nom combatants in Argentina face
ruin from the stoppage of their wheat
trade. Peru declares a moratorium.
China will miss her ginseng from the
Virginia mountains, and must other
wise make medicine. Rubber tires go
soaring in price. Boots will do the
same while shoemakers shoot each
other, and the commerce in hides is
halted. Children the world over will
miss their Nuremberg toys at Christ
mas.
Nom combatants are in the vast ma
jority even in the countries at war,
but they are not immune to it's blight.
Austria is isolated from the world be-
cause her ally. Germany, will take no
chances of spilling military informal
ton and will not forward mails. If,
telephoning in France, you use single
foreign word, even an English one,
your wire is cut Hans the German
waiter, Franz the clarinet in the lit
tie street band, is locked up as a pos
sible spy. There are great German
business houses in London and Paris;
their condition is that of English and
French business houses in Berlin, and
that is not pleasant Great Britain
contemplates, as an act of war, the
voiding of patents held by Germans
in the United Kingdom.
Nothing is too petty, nothing too
great, nothing too distant in kind or
miles from the field of war to feel its
influence, The whole world is the loser
by it, whoever at the end of all the
battles may say that he has won.

ell on the Cupsuptic that will not

about going to Nodland when the
sound of a wild cat made night
hideous. Jim in his stocking feet
started for a chase down the trail fol-
lowing the cry of the wild cat, but

1t is evident from what has been
told of the Old Town Enterprise, that
a bridge is needed across the river
from Orono to the Bradley shore.
Orono seems to be the mecca for
these people and the question has
been discussed for many years. A
bridge to Orono for the farmers of
lower Bradley and North Eddingten
would mean much to them and it
would very much increase their real
estate. These people are also very
far removed from doctors. This
bridge question calls for serious con-
sideration by the people of Orono.

Little Phillis May Huff. daughter of
Mrs. Lucia Anderson Huff of Old Or
chard has acquired the name of the
Child Whistler of New England and
last week added to her laurels by TAX
ing the prize at the exhibition enter
tainment given on the pier, when
there were present visitors from 20 of
the States of the Union and from all
parts of Canada From birth the
child has shown a wonderful talent for
music, being able to carry a tune long
before she could talk. and when she
was but three years old she was the
star performer at entertainments CIV
en- by the Old Orchard Woman's Club
of which her mother is a member. But
her talent as a whistler is of more re-
cent development and though she Is
now but seven years of age she has
the power to hold her audiences SPELL
bound and there is no musical sound
that she has not been able to initiate.
The mother first realized the talent
of the child when she heard her imi-
tating the notes of the birds in the
groves about her home and under the
mothers direction she has developed a
talent wonderful for her years. This
talent is being recognized by people
who have heard the child and the de-
mands upon her are already many, so
that ii is probable that her future will
be one of brilliant successes should
she conserve her talent and continue
to cultivate it.
