for the young man said he did not
want to work all his life on an old
rocky farm and that makes us think
that dynamite will be great help in
booming some parts of Maine for
many otherwise good farms have been
left for the same reason. The Ma

Donigan bought tc go with it, was set
tied about one hundred years ago by

the old places grow up to bushes.

devil i'm the land" said DR. Baker.
and If the business men of the city
would stand up in a manly manner
and determine to stamp out the evil,
1t could be done in a short time
But business men of to-day are
eak-kneed and lack backbone when
ever the prohibition question is APP
preached They seem to hold the i'm
preston that the abolition of liquor

Amy citizen who is a member OF a
social club selling liquor is showing a
lack of backbone He is doing more
TO spread the evil results of liquor
than any dirty bartender who dopes
out he poison over the counter send
