all Maine, Somerset County serves as
the great playground of the nation

all states in the union and from
foreign shores to hunt and fish and
to enjoy our wonderful scenery and
healthful. rugged climate. 1t is a
county of wonderful waterpowers
which in future years will be proper
ly harnessed and will form the back
bone of unlimited industrial develop
ment And who can say to what
extent will be carried our agricultur-
al expansion? The fertile lands in
the southern and central part of the
county. watered by the wonderful
kennebec and its many tributaries
are today yielding the products of
the soil. Tomorrow that immense
area to the north. in many sections
equally fertile, will also be the scene
of agricultural development. 1t is a
rough and rugged county of noun
tains and lakes and streams. Its
development both industrially and
agriculturally. will necessitate the
building of railroads, both electric

an extravagant sound but 1t IS the
strictest of truths The independent
Reporter goes to 5000 homes, chiefly
in our own county. II is In most
instances read by every member oil
the family and is often loaned or re-
mailed.
II would be an almost unheard OF
thing, whatever you have to offer
personal property, real estate, ser
vices. or otherwise, If an ad in Every
bodys did not find you Il customer.
The same applies with even greater
certainty when you are in the market
as a purchaser, you will save both
time and money by letting the public
know what you want When you
want to sell, two, three or half
dozen customers are very Hu1h wv
ter than one will enable you to get
n better price; when you want to buy,
the chance to select from several OPP
portunities is obviously TO your ad-
vantage. Those who have made the
big successes in the commercial world
have played this principle to the limit
and they have invariably multiplied
their opportunities by the use of
printers ink Not all who advertise
get rich but certainly no man ever &C
quired n fortune without it.

Washington, June 19.-National
guardsmen may be sent across the Mex

Chamberlain of the senate militia af-
fairs committee.
SO confident is he of this that he
does not inteAd to ask congress to grant
further appraval OF the authorization
for q step he said today.
Chamberlain bases his belief on the
ground that, in case invasion Of the
United States is threatened, very broad
powers are allowed the president to
meet an emergency. He said he did not
doubt in the least that among these
powers is the presidents right TO or
der state troops into Mexieon territory
as a strategic step to prevent Mexican
aggression.
How far the president may proceed in
such move, however, puzzles Cham
berlain as well as most army Ulcers
The weight of opinion is that the state
troops may not be used for campaign
in Mexico before July l, when the new
army law goes into effect Before that
time militia men must take the double
