its willingness to print. gratis, GER

In order to. make a good showing
in the operation of the railroads, the
government managers strive to get

reason why the government should
get railroad advertising, free than
there was for the private operators
getting it without paying the usual

Editorial Comment
A Step in Advance
Civic League Record


To meet the new conditions of the
new day our educational, philanthropy
ic. religious and civic organizations
are adjusting. re-adjusting, expand
ing or retrenching as the case de-
mands. The advent of national pro-
hibition has suddenly nationalized the
saloon problem. Individual states
are no longer seeking to conquer the
liquor evil-each for itself and &C.
cording to it's own chosen methods
one by prohibition and another by IL
cense and local option, but prohibi-
ton has become the universally ac-
cepted method and the nation is the
unit. All state Anti Saloon organic.
atoms now recognize that nation
wide enforcement is the next objec-
tive. and that the success Of national
prohibition will be rated everywhere
as being as strong, and no stronger
than the weakest spot in the country,
whether that spot be Bangor or San
Francisco.
The situation itself invites closer
cooperation between the several
states and the national organization.
The Christian Civic League by vote Of
its Board of Directors and by action
of it's headquarters Committee has
entered into cooperative plan with
the Anti Saigon League Of America
which it is believed will increase the
effectiveness Of the League locally
and enable it to have q larger share
than would otherwise be possible in
winning the first objective. nation
wide enforcement Of National Pro-
hibition and the second objective.
World Prohibition. BY the plan
adopted the message of the League
will be distributed more widely in
our State and the remote sections Of
the State which are rarely visited by
the workers will be reached. The
national league will send severas ma
tional speakers for an annual speak
ing campaign in the larger centers.
This campaign will be arranged. dat
ed and shared in by the State Su-
perintendent and his helpers. When
the annual campaign, occupying sew
eral weeks. has been finished for the
cities and larger villages. abundance
OF time will be left in which state
workers can visit the smaller centers
now necessarily neglected. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that the citizens
Of our great rural sections do not
need the message of the League as
much as the cities and larger viii
lagos.
After this issue Of the Record and
during the operation of the plan ar
ranged by our Headquarters Com
mittee the weekly edition Of the Am
erican Issue will take the place Of

The BURBERRY raising business is
rapidly becoming considerable in
dustry in Lubec. and if the owners Of
land keep on clearing it up and burn
ing the :.rritory over. we shall soon
be able to support a blueberry factory
for a couple of months each year.
SAYS the Lubec Herald. The country
for many miles about here is high and
particularly adapted to BURBERRY
raising, and for the last five years the
owners have been waking up to their
opportunities and realizing good
profits. The average profit from an
acre of BURBERRY land is said to be
about 800, and as no fertilizer or
cultivation is necessary these berries
are a quick and profita BILE crop.
Among those who are doing an in
creasing business in this line are
Ralph W. Campbell. w. I. Godfrey,
Jas f.. Kelley and L. B. McFadden.
and several in Prescott are also reap
ing many bushels year, but only a
small part of the territory has yet
been touched. The whole section
from Porcupine mountain to the East
Machias line is practically all blue
berry land. What berries are pro-
duced are marketed mostly in
East Machias, where the Gaddis
Brothers have a factory, and some go
to Dennysville. Someone with an eye
to business will have a factory here
before a great while as it would be
right in the center of production.
