Don t be pcSSimistic 50 far as
your home town is concerned.
Cam you see that if you go
about with a long face bcwaiing
the mi Serablc fate of vour home
town, it only pulls it down ?
Don t say that the town is dead,
that its citizens are back numbers
that the population is steadily
decreasing and a hundred other
evils that probably exist only in
your own mind. If YOU can't say
anything good, then keep still.
Don t let other people know that
you haven't the energy to move
away from such a miserable hole
as you claim you are living in.
II you are a property owner don t
tell the whole world that your
property is worth just half as
much now as it was last year. It
is very possible that they believe
YOU and some day you may want
to sell that property and you will
be able TO get just about half its
worth. so YOU see when YOU talk
against your home town it only
hurts Yourself. Progress.

State House Chat

Many of the State House people
were disappointed on Friday afternoon
in not getting a glimpse of General
Edwards, but his stay was necessarily
so short that he was unable to see
more than Camp Reyes and what a
short ride by auto about the city would
disclose-hence the call at the Capitol
was omitted.
Hon. Benjamin H. Lawrence Of Fair
field, a member of the 18th Legislature,
was a CALLER Friday at the State House.
A hearing was had at the county
building during the forenoon yester-
day by Public Utility Commissioners
Cleaves, Shelton and Bunker on the
accident at Bridgton last Sunday
when Gilman N. I<imball. Mrs. Alice

all firearms and ammunition must be
registered the secretary Of State says
the new law and the old statutes have

register the same Some one after
the receipt of the letter al Boothbay

standing Of the letter, because neither
inquiry or answer made such reference.

Perched on the nation edge.

OF ocean pounded ledge.
But ragged deeds and rugged men
You've nurtured for your own:
Much good the world has harvested
From broadcast seeds you've sown--
And so. we love you. rugged State,
We love your smiling skies.
We love you for your deep-piled SHOWS,
Your Jagged coast we prize.
We love you for the lofty seat
You've reared meath heavens dome:
But best Of all. we love YOU. Maine.
Because you're Maine-and Home.
