God took her from the world apart
She dwelt where love and summer
stay.
Another Mother came to guide
This boy when he was but youth:
He walked close by her Mother side
Learning from her the Power OF
She helped him all of life to prove.
His hours of work and hardship
blessed,
She loved him with the highest love.
Unto which Mother owed he most?
No mortal tongue can truly say
One gave him life at life's own cost.
The Other fashioned his iife's way.
A Center Montville correspondent
of the Journal writes: Governor
Milliken's stand for a budget. and its
attendant economy, looks good to the
old farmers who have been obliged to
practice frugality all their lives, and
have worked on the eight hour system

Athletic matters at Bates are be-
ginning to revive with the return Of
many of the boys who have been in

The annual meeting Of the Andros-
coggin Teachers Association will be
held at the Webster Grammar school
in Auburn next Friday. and it will de-
part considerably from the custom OF
former years in the order of its pro-
gram. There will be no department
sessions as heretofore, but instead
there will be a short musical program
followed by the brief necessary bust
ness session, and the remainder OF
the convention will be devoted to four
addresses by leading New England

Il remember laughable incident
that occurred on the lines some time
ago." says l. r. Staples of the Central
Maine Power company. 1T was an
interruption which caused all the cir
cult breakers to come out all over the
whole plant. After the lines were
tested, the trouble was located on the
Pittsfield locals which run from
Burnham power station to Pitts
field. OF course, everybody rushed
to clear the trouble. Arriving on
the scene, VIC found that two cats
had been quarreling and one had
chased the other up pole. and, not
being room to scrap up there. they
had gone across the wires and short
circuitcd the line. We removed the
cats and the line was put in use
again"
Malcolm Gown, young Caribou
lad, will not come nearer crossing
the River Jordan than he did few
days ago. when he was caught in an
Aroostook blizzard, lost his way and
fell in the drifting snow. Searching
parties found him unconscious, after
four hours, the heat from his body
melted the snow around him and
later ice was formed so that he lay
| in ice. He was carried home, thawed
out and is now as frisky as any
Aroostook boy of his age ought to
be. Can you beat it?
