POWER OF IMAGINATION

Some extravagantly imaginative
person has started the report that a
Pennsylvania woman was dumb
founded the other day by her cook,
whom she pays SIS a week, offering
to work for less as she didn't think
she was earning as much. We don't
know what has become of the imagi-
native romancer but eXpectantly wait
for a report that some railroad official
has announced to the employees:
"Now boys, I'm going to cut down my
pay twenty-five percent and yours
the same None of us are earning
what we get" Most anything can be
done with an imagination like that.
One could even think of a farm hand
insisting that the cows should be
MIXED twice in a six hour period, and
each mixer be assigned two helpers,
one for scratching mooley behind the
ears and the other holding her tail
from swishing in the mixers face.

ry grew up. This first showed itself
openly in religious matters and re-
suited in the division of the territory
into three parishes, the north and
middle parishes in the upper settle
ment and the south parish at the
Hook. From this came the. name of
1.-The Old South Church." where
Eliphalet Gillett served as the first
pastor for thirty-two years.
The rivalry between the two places
reached the climax when the resi-
dents of Fort Western petitioned the
legislature for a charter to build a
bridge across the river at that point.
In spite of the protests of the people
at the Hook, who thought that the
bridge should be built there, the act
was passed Feb. s, 1896. The feeling
became so intense that the next year
the north and middle parishes were
incorporated as a separate town I'M
der the name of Harrington. AS this
often was called Herring town by
their jealous neighbors, the name was
changed to. the more dignified Au-
gusta. The capital city, however,
must still recognize Hallowell as the
mother town.

general officers of the United Textile

The withdrawal of the endorsement
of the United Textile Workers was
made through a resolution passed at

the United Textile Workers and made
public today by Mrs. Sarah Conboy,
secretary treasurer of the organiza-
ton. The resolution follows:
Whereas, after further and de-
tailed investigation, representatives
of the executiv ecouncil of the Unit
ed Textile Workers of America, find
certain conditions existing in con-
nection with the Mammoth Silk
Spinning Corporation, of which we
were not originally aware, and
Whereas, in view of such condi-
ttions, we feel it would be unwise
conscientiously to ask our members
for their moral and financial sup
port of this project, therefore be it
Resolved: That we withdraw our
moral support and endorsement given
to the Mammoth Silk Corporation by
our executive council at it's meeting
in December 1920, and sever all con-
nection of the United Textile Work
ers of America with this corporation
and ask the members of our organ
ization to do likewise"

Says His Prescription

Mr.. James Fl. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years of

free from rheumatism until the ac--
cumulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits. were dissolved in
the joints. and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind ne cons ulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from the system. u
He freely gave his discovery to
others, who took it. with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his
