Must Have Real Merit.

Anybody or anything to command con-
tidence must deserve it.
medicine that has commanded the
confidence of the public for half cen
fury, as Hoods Sarsaparilla has done, has
merit, real merit.
This is something for you to bear in
mind when you are in need of a medicine
for your blood, stomach, liver or kidneys,
the ordinary diseases or ailments Of which
are cured or relieved by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, as thousands of three generations
have voluntarily testified
When you buy Hoods Sarsaparilla you
buy medicine that has outlived the for
native period, in which there is more or
less experiment, and has been fully de-
Veloped for years, during which it has
made unique record by what it has &C
complished for the sick and aillng, &C
cording to their own story.

SAVING AND HAVING.
An Old Fable Applied to Present
Conditions.
Save and have!

Save and have!
Remember the story of the ant and
grasshopper? The ant worked and
saved. The end of each day found
him with little more added to what
he had the day before. The grass
hopper danced and sang and fiddled
his time away. Winter came; the ant
had plenty. The grasshopper had
nothing; he had not saved He went
to the ant and asked for help. Said
the ant: while | worked, you fooled
your time away. You can dance nowi
for ali I care"
Are you an ant-person or grasshop-s
per-person? Some time are you goings
to have to ask for help and will some
one tell you to dance; or will you bel
independent?
If you save now, you'll have latere
on. Let the end Of every week findl
more Thrift Stamps on your card AtH
the end Of every month be able toE
show more War Savings Stamps past
ed on your certificate. Buy 1919 War
Savings Stamps. Lend your money
to the Government at four per cent
interest, compounded quarterly, and
see it grow.
Take stock of yourself, What are
you worth? Will next New Years
day find you worth more or less?
Which will you be; an ant or a grass
hopper?
Save and have!

A dispatch from Rockland says that
the sale of the Georges Valley Railroad
to the Great Northern Paper Company is
indicatedin the negotiation for two thirds
of the bonds which has Just been COM
pleted. One of the purchasers is Garrett
Schenck of Boston, president of the Great
Northern Paper Company, who also is
one of the heaviest stockholders in the
lime plant at Warren. The latter plant
is one of the principal feeders of the
Georges Valley Railroad d, and is owned
by the hnox Lime Company. The quar-
ries have been idle for several months,
but it is understood that the lime for The
pulp mills of the Great Northern Paner
Company will be manufactured there
and that is the principal reason why the
railroad has been acquired.

MY FIRST THRIFT STAMP.
By Ruth Blank, William Lloyd
Garrison School, Boston.
10 years old.

One day last summer my sister
wanted to go in town. She couldn't
go on account of the baby l asked
her if I might take care of him. Eyes,
you can take care of him." she said.
50 she went in town and l took care
of the baby. The baby was very good
for while. But half an hour later
he got cross. Seeing how cross he
was l put him to sleep. 1 started to
sew when my sister came in. She
asked me where the baby was. 1 said,
He got cross so l put him to Sleep"
Wy sister was delighted that he was
asleep for he didn't like to sleep in
the afternoon. She gave me twenty
five cents for taking care of him. The
clock struck four and l had to go
home. When 1 passed by the post
office said to myself, 81 am going to
buy a Thrift Stamp. l don't know
what twenty-five cents will do, but
all my friends are buying them" So
l went into the postoffice and asked
the clerk what Thrift Stamps are for.
He told me about everything So I
got Thrift Stamp, which was my
first one
On my way home I met my brother.
When he saw the Thrift card he said,
What is that?" I told him that it
was Thrift Stamp and it was going
to help the boys a little. When l
said that he went into the postoffice
and got a stamp also After that we
kept on saving and were very happy.

Elk GOV. COBB SAYS NO.
Augusta, June 9Th

AugusCd, JuIe OCn
1t became known here Tuesday that
prominent Republican leaders had waited
upon former Gov William T. Cobb of
Rockland and prqed him to permit the
use of his name in the primaries next
year as candidate for governor and that
Mr.. Cobb declined to consider the propo-
sition. Mr.. Cobb maze it very clear that
while he appreciated the great honor
which was conferred by this request he
could not consider such an idea; that to
take such a course would be inconsistent
with his own-beliefs, as well as out of &C.
cord with what his understanding of the
sentiment of the people of Maine and of
Am erca was toward the third term idea.

written by J. Skottowe Wannamaker,
president of the American cotton as

Association was read at the annual
meeting of the latter body in ST.

of Spartanburg. An appeal to the
bankers of the South to assist the
farmers of the south in their fight
for fair price for their cotton
was contained in the letter. Some
of the problems confronting the
South were also reviewed.

the loyalty and ability of the peo-

South was assessed not because it
was the least loyal, but because it

''In the practical monopoly in the

long held in it's hand the opportuni-

But the production of cotton in the
South has brought wealth to every

South it has proved curse. For
the production of cotton in the
