News comes from Old Orchart

News comes from Old Orchard Maine, that MT. and Mrs. Frank Andrews are there enjoying a most delightful vacation visit. Friends will be glad to know that Mrs. Andrews is improving in health. With a beautiful surf and the water at about 65 de- grees the writer is guessing that Frank is catching up on surf bathing. Just for the informa- ton of these and other esteemed friends who are on far away vacations, we are going to re- mind them that here in dear old Brinkley" town during the greater part of July, our people have been sleeping under quilts and blankets, and often times in the evenings, coats and wraps were comfortable. But this should mt discourage our friends who are enjoying vacations far away, for if the weather man continues as he has been doing for the past few days, we do not believe that we will continue to complain of being too cool.

EutIlIty of EIatterY.

Nothing is ever gained by fiattery. To the serious man fiattery in the form of sincere praise makes him more responsible and only sadder, be- cause he knows how much he falls below what Is expected of him and what he expects of himself. Lip fiat tery makes a real man feel as though his sex had been mistaken, he feels as though he had been given curling tongs instead of razor for his morn ing toilet.

Generalization Impossible.

The truth is that age and power of achievement cannot be linked in sweeping generalities. It all depends upon the individual. One man may reach his highest mental powers be- fore thirty and then decline. just as one man will reach his greatest phys ical strength before forty and then begin going downhill, while the mind of another may be most active at sixty or seventy.
