Cal, which carries that tone. He
does not give his former residence in
Maine, but that he remembers and
loves the Pine Tree State can be seen
in the following extracts from his let
ter:
Il am sorry I cannot visit my old
State this summer. as my wife
planned to 90 to Canada and has gone
for few weeks vacation, but my
heart is with you and some day I
will visit my old State that 1 love
every inch Of"
Then comes a few pointed state
ments about the two states that tells
a heap, big story. including:
"A man can make as good a living
in Maine as he can in California.
There is no money growing on the
trees out here. All the money I have
got I have had to work for and the
rest Of the hustlers get theirs the
same way. We had. a beautiful win
ter last winter. but not enough rain
for the farmers. We have no rain in
summer out here. 1t is very dry and
without plenty of water you cannot
do much at farming in this country.
There are no beautiful summers like
those Of Maine. We have good roads,
plenty Of work. good wages. Living
is high. Everything we use is high.
Most of the working people have
some money. There are no awfully
poor people that know Of here"
Mr.. Thomas closes by saying he
and his wife worked hard for what
they have saved and appreciate the
value of it-but Maine is still good
enough for him and he intends to
visit the old State.
