Invest in Central Maine Stock
and You Invest in an Industry Essential
to War Work and Coal Conservation

In order to supply these war indus
tries with the power they needed and
to generate, it from water power
(rather than from coaD we had to
develop additional water power. To
develop it quickly and economically We
turned naturally to one of our unde-
veloped sources of power at Rice Rips
on the Messalonskee Stream in the
town of Oakland.
To provide funds for this necessary
development and to make other add
lions to it's property essential to the
proper handling of the war business,
the Central Maine Power Company
has issued 100000 par value of r.
preferred stock. The price of this
stock is S1O7.50 per share and accrued

This stock offers you, the Company
believes, a sound and profitable invest-
mant in a corporation that is playing
a big part in coal conservation and
war work-in a company assured Of
an adequate demand for its products
in peace time as we'll as in war time.

THE Central Maine Power Company
has had two plain duties in this war.
/. To aid in saving coal.
2. To supply the companies doing
war work with all the power they
could use.
The first task was easy. Power de-
veloped so largely from water auto
matically saves coal.
To supply the wartime demands OF
shipping and other industries was
task worthy of the best efforts OF
big company. Some OF the war in
dustries in our territory are
(a) Shipping at Bath, on Penobscot
Bay. in Richmond, Rockland, Belfast
and Wiscasset.
(b) Fourdries and machine shops at
Dexter
(c) Wooden mills at Guilford, Sanger
Vile. Corinna, Dexter, Pittsfield, Wa
terville and Winthrop, making army
blankets and clothing.
(d) Shoe shops at Augusta, Gardiner,
Hallowel and Richmond, making
army shoes.

SOUTHERNER WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

"Southerner Without Prejudice has given
most lucid diagnosis of the situation Yea, so
lucid, that it may cause many to overcome their
fears to what may crop out in their offsprings
and marry the man woman, his or her heart is
set on and that too despite the fact one or the
other may have strains of colored blood in his or
her veins. White men raved over the beauties of
quadroon and octaroon girls ever since there have
been such and that seems to have originated way
back yander, when the world begun. Anthropolo-
gists tell us that the Holy Mary mother of Jesus
Christ, the offspring of black and white par
ents-in short mulato. Evidently Joseph fell
for her brunett charms. After Cleopatras armies
had been defeated by the all-conquering armies of
julius Caesar she started out, singlehanded and
alone to capture Caesar, and being an offspring
of white and coored couple, history says she
most beautiful woman, and so she had her
servants to roll her up in the most expensive
Oriental rug and carry her into the conquerer's
It's useless to add, he fell for her charms
and long he ruled Rome, Cleopatra ruled
Egypt. Though Napolean Boneparte afterwards
divorced his beautiful queen Josephine, who saw
the light of day in Martinique, and was the Off
spring of white and black parents, yet he raved
her in early life and loved her to his dying
day, but divorced her because she could not bear
children the probabilities of them showing Negro
blood to the contrary Notwithstanding. There now
seems to be little doubt that instead of Poca-
hontas being simple Indian squaw, she was one
of those charming quadroons common to Vir-
ginia and to the disgrace CD of Capt John
Smith marrying Negro, she was palmed off by
the Virginans as an Indian The offspring of
white and black folks are as rule, very beauti-
full, and not only beautiful, but very brany, es-
pecially the girls, and the man can not be found
who, if an opportunity is offered, will not fall for
their charms. The writer is probably better &C
quaned in Seattle than is "Southerner Without
Prejudice" and instead of two persons with col
ored blood in their veins having turned white, he
knows more than 200 and they are marrying
whites and in some instances their coored blood
is known. There are almost six million black and
white persons in the United States and this anti
Negro marrying agitation in the very near future
is going to get an awful jolt.

BELGIAN CIVILIANS
DEMAND EYE FOR EYE
Want German Soldiers Humili

rogance and Pride Crushed.

Bruges, Dec. 5 Correspondence OF
The Associated Press THE civil pop
ulation of Belgium is much more bitter
toward the Germans than the soldiers
who have fought them to u standstill
during four years, crushed them, batter
ed them about and wrecked the Empire
during the past four months. Terms OF
bitter execration, hate and revenge
come from the civilians alone.
A kind little old woman the owner of
a cigar store, after selling The Associated

an ''ersatz cigar relic of the German
Occupation, launched forth into n violent
Remuneration of the uninvited guests
who made Bruges their home for four
years. This war must not end like
this" she said with venhemence which
contrasted greatly with her gently ap-
pearance. I'VE must go into Germany,
they must suffer, expiate." On the day
of their departure the Germans robbed
her store of $500 worth of her best cigars
and cigarettes.
On the Grande Place in the shadow
of the famous belfry, an lrate gentle
man was discoursing loudly, sticulat-
ing wildly. ''rhe pigs, the infamous
swine" he WIS saying. Shall it come

Is it possible that the German popula-
tion will not suffer anv Of the hardshIps
that their soldiers and officers have
inflicted upon us2 Shall they not salute
our officers, descend into the cutters
as our soldiers promenade on their side
walks? Is it conceivable that their
women will be spared the humiliation
of hlmbly begging of our officers a pass
port to travel between Aix-la-Chapelle
and Cologne as our wives and daughters
had to do to go from Bruges to 0stend?
If we end 1t now they arc beaten mill
tarily but they arc not vanquished in
their pride. III their hearts

nearby.
OF all the Allied soldiers the Belgian
was the one who appeared TO have the
greatest desire 10 enter Germany. Ills
country is strewn with wreckage fo
former happy homes perhaps the very
one where the soldier dwelt is now
heap of ruins But these soldier boys
display no hatred They have not been
robbed of their cigars or their wine
They have merely risked their lives
in rain filled trenches snd bullet swept
lids for tho past four wears
