A Fresh PRAYER

Or. H. Dyer. Fairfield, Me)
Give me fresh courage, Lord, to meet
My trials like a man;
Give me fresh things to drink and eat
And ban the metal can.
Supply fresh vigor, fervor, zeal,
That l may fifty strive;
And, Lord, fresh beef and pork and veal
Enough to keep alive.
Grant me-Thy lowly servant begs-
Ambition fresh and high;
Fresh butter-if You can-and eggs,
And fresh-baked cake and pie.
ask fresh patience to endure,
Fresh power to subdue,
The cravings of an epicure-
I'd like fresh Holsters, too.
Give me fresh thoughts, that may cope
And battle with despair;
Fresh faith and charity and hope
Fresh water and fresh air.
Give me fresh speech to promulgate
The artful sorceries
OF packers who adulterate-
Give me FRESH groceries.

A Boston paper ran story Friday
from the navy department had just
returned to Boston from visit to
Maine to investigate the stories of
persons living in the Kennebec river
valley who reported they had heard
and seen airplanes travelling over
the city of Bath, says the Times.
The result of this investigator
visit. as recorded in the Boston paper
was to the effect that at Bar Har-
Dor he learned many summer resi-
dents had been frittering their time
away sending up toy balloons at
tached to which there had been
lights and it was believed it was
these things person in different
parts of Maine had seen and had mis-
takenly called, mystery airplanes. II
was said the investigator, set forth
as a sort of marine Sherlock
Holmes, had been thorough enough
TO find the remains of some Of these
toy hot air balloons in the tops Of some
trees.
Whether this explanation will sat
isfy about a dozen Bath families who
have honestly reported they saw a
real airplane lowering over this city
at different times last week, remains
to be seen. If it was balloons that
startled the various Bath folks, GER
tainly the naval investigator should
have also explained how 1t was that
the hot air balloons were able to
maintain course in the air with
such precision as to make people
( think It was a manguided airship
An explanation Of this Is coming as
we'll rs what kind of a continuance

/ looms that will make noise like an
