VACATION DAYS.

CAPE ELIZABETH.
Most perfect of all days, the last
Pure and fair the blue tcdtersl
Like children played over the rocks,
Daring the surprise Of the dcshing spray,
Counting the eircled jsuyfsh,
RivaGng each other in search for shells.
Sunset
TIE clear cir neuoped and grew rich Nth color;
The shades deepensd TO dusk;
There ras no tcord but and sky.
Then sudden shone q firm radiance TO our right
And far out q repeated beat Of light
Where the beocons recall wanderers to the thought Of life
Lest careless they drift into the initless beyond

 This board would be empowered to acquire land by purchase. to manu- fa"ture ar purchase powder. caps end fuses, and land clearing equipment and to use the same for the purposes of this act; to sell powder, fuses and caps to any owner to an extent not exceeding $1OOO and to lease the land clearing equipment; to borrow money and issue bonds not to exceed $250.- GOO outstanding at any one time. to raise revenue by levying an annual tax not exceeding one-fourth of one mill. and to employ necessary help.
 To provide for the operation Of thia act agricultural development boud- would be issued, payable not moro than twenty years after date. and bearing interest at not exceeding siN per cent The bonds would be de clared as preferential investment for the permanent school fund and for ali state, county, municipal and othee public funds.
