The commission created by the
last legislature to select a location
and build State Reformatory for
Women, of which Clyde II. Smith of
this place is member, WILL OF
course, consider the desirablity of
Skowhegan for this purpose, This
section is certainly the equal of any
other part of Maine for such an in
stitution and Skowhegan has one dis
tinct advantage, it is located almost
exactly at the center of population
The reformatory will be the only
one of its kind in Maine for many
years. 1t must serve the needs of
the whole state and the matter of Of
fering. as nearly as possible, equal
accessibility to the entire population
is a most important consideration.
Skowhegan has never had state
institution and Somerset County very
few OF them Courtesy. justice and
expedience together indicate that
Skowhegan's shire town would be an
appropriate selection.

Business For That Industrial
Secretary

One thousand dollars is the prob
able maximum that could be raised in
Skowhegan, annually, for an Indus
trial Secretary. In that event we
would have to buy five hundred dol
lars worth of a fifteen hundred
mans time and save the other five
hundred for expenses. That is, the
lob would demand a man capable of
earning $500 a year and we should
have to find one so situated that he
could devote one third of his energy
to hunting industries for Skowhegan
and accept $500 for it. 1t might be
better TO have man all day, every
day in the year, If we could get the
funds, but the one-third time plan
could be worked out pretty well.
In 10 days out of each month or
100 days in the year man ought to
be able to hunt out all the available
prospects and confer with the best of
them. Careful planning would save
portioned for expenses to keep prop
er Office records 80 that the scheme
might get the benefit of systematic
management.
There has been a tendency for in
dustries to come to Maine for many
years, more emphatic than usual
since 1913. Splendid manufactur-
ing establishments have been added
at Augusta, Freeport, Gardiner, Wa
terville, Hallowell and other places
It would be the business of an In
dustrial Secretary to know when
these possibilities were Matching and
see that Skowhegan got some OF
them. The theory of the thing is
without a flaw, and from practical
standpoint it looks simple enough.
There is little doubt that paid In
dustrial Secretary would be OF i'm
mense advantage to any community.
