Maine Gossip


(Grif Alexander In Pittsburg Dispatch.)
When we've loafed beside the river on .
smiling Summer day.
And have watched the sunbeams culver
on the waters far away.
We have thought we'd loaf forever,
that we'd never work again
But old Sergeant Duty, clever, here de-
clar0d he wanted men!
Stif and taut became each spine as we
quickly toed the line!
And the water Of tnactiOn was at once
turned into wine!
For the Sergeant's voice will thrill you
Wake you up or nearly kill you
Till he sees you're keeping step.
Sergeant Duty. you're beauty!
Hep!
Sergeant Duty is stickler in the doing
Of job
Says the guy as amt partickler is a
sloppy kind o. slob.
But he don't object to resting-and he
makes it very plain
Sos the sparrows don't start nesting in
the thing you call your brain.
And whene'er the bugle calls you must
leave the idle halls
And be ready for the muster whatever
else befalls!
See your work and then go to it!
Get a job to do and do 1t!
With a lot of vim and pep!
Sergeant Duty, you're beauty!
Hep!
Hep!

CREAM of the fishing. The smackmeli
dare make no predictions as to what re-
turns the coming season will yield them.
Years when the prospects seemed to be
the best the scallop crop has been a
scanty one. Last year when it was
feared that the beds had been fished
dry the smacks did very satisfactory
business. No spackman believes that
the scallops will be as plentiful there as
when the beds were first opened. but
higher prices help offset the scarcity.

John Sibley. a farmer of Grand Falls
plantation, six miles from Burlington.
was in Bangor recently and confided to
friend that bears have been raising
havoc with his sheep fold lately. No less
than nine of his finest mutton stock have
suffered an untinely death from the
depredations Of the big black animals.
Mr.. Sibley says the loss would be a Sc
we're one to him were it not for the fact
that he expects the State to reimburse
him. This report is much in accordance
with others that have come from the
woods this fall-that bears are more
numerous than ever before, in spite Of
the fact that hunters are allowed to kill
them at any time. Mr.. Sibley is inclined
to think that the farmers up there will
have to 60 on a bear hunting bee pretty
soon II conditions don't improve.

One of the most prosperous towns in
the State of Maine today is Woodland in
Washington county on the Princeton
branch Of the Maine Central railroad and
10 miles from Calais. Here in the Maine
woods a town of over 1000 people has
sprung up in few short years, made
possible by the building of the ST. Croix
paper mill and the Grand lake paper
bag mill which represents an investment
of several million dollars. and which fur
nishes year round employment for $50
people at good wages. There is an aver
age pay roll of something over $4,000 per
week and a lot of this is deposited with
the banks. for the most of the people of
Woodland are thrifty and. lay up some
thing for a rainy day.

Speaking of the future of Bath as a
ship building port. the Bath Times de-
clares the faith of Charles M. Schwab in
the port: Mr.. Schwab's opinion of Bath
as a possible rival of the great Scotch
and English shipping cities is well known
and is similar to the views often ex-
pressed by the late Gen. Thomas W.
HYDE, who used to say that some day
both banks of the kennebec at Bath and
woolwich would be filled with yards and
that the Kennebec would become an
American Clyde. The depth Of water
from Bath b the sea is an immense ad-
vantage to Bath. Mr.. Schwab is also
known to be immensely impressed with
the higher character of Bath labor over
that generally found in other places.

SPEAK UP

What can we do to improve conditions in this town and in the adjacent farming commun- ity?
 Have you a solution, a prac- tical suggestion?
 While we probably have no more cause for complaint thar other parts of the country, yet it is always possible to get to- gether and accomplish better results.
 If you have good idea, spring it.
 We can stand more than our present allotment of prosperity and if we put our heads to- gether and each one contrib utes freely of his intelligence and thought it should not be a difficult matter to eventually strike the right chord.
 What is your suggestion?
