helpful Interpretation of the press
ing problems of troublesome times,
the uplifting word Of encourage
ment for every worthy cause, pub
lie welfare, civic betterment and
community development, h as es-
tab1ished it as one of the perna-
nent institutions in Maine homes.
Today at least 10000 Maine fami-
lies depend upon it for inspiration,

ment.
In variety and interest of careful
ly sifted news no paper in the State

Eorelan Grapes in Ireland.

A short time ago a much-travelcd
SET, captain was in Ireland and was nj
tractcd by some grapes which he was
certain were similar to those he had
known In California as "Mlsslon"
grapes, so called because they vera
introduced into that country by Snan-
lsh missionaries. Being interested In
the subject, he pursued his inquiries
and found that his surniIse was cor
rect. The grapes were grown from
cuttings OF vines which formed part
Of the cargo OF the Spanish Armada,
hence their similarity TO those Of Call
fornia. both being of Spanish origin.
This beautiful fruit nourlshes in a
sheltered valley on the western side OF
Tough Swilly, where no frost has
nipped the vines for five years, al
though frequently snow is visible on
the distant hills.
