Jubiliant anti prohibitionists who
were waxing enthusiastic over the
reduction in. numbers of prohibition
enforcement agents will have to quiet
their exuberance. The House, fearful
of riotous consequences has voted to
grant an emergency fund of 100000
to pay the salaries of the requisite
enforcement officials. until such time
as the initiation of a new fiscal year
makes proper appropriations avail
able. The bill has a considerable jour-
ney before it. for it has merely passed
the House, but it is hoped that it may
be pushed through the necessary leg
islation with all possible speed. If the
liquor lovers will smuggle, and run
it in and home-brew under the very
noses of the law. there's little hope
that they will reform merely for the
good of law and order when vigilance
is withheld.

Good Job Well Done
tBath Times)

Welcome good steamer CITY of
Rockland. Bath is glad to have Won
with us again and our people realize
that it has been through the persist
ence, and hard work of one of her
sons, Carl X. Crosby, that YOU are
here and that Bath will once more be
connected with Boston by boat. and
the service to neighboring Summer
resorts improved. Few men have had
greater obstacles to overcome in get
ting a steamship line established than
mas Mr.. Crosby, who attempted the
PROJECT. at a tine when business was
passing from wave of greater pros
perity to dull times. He had all sorts
OF discouragements but he has car
RED out his purpose and now it is IN
TO the people of Bath, and this entire
section. to show their appreciation of
his efforts by giving his lines gener.
Gus support. 1t is far better for Rath
that these lines should be owned. and
operated, by men living in the Ken
nepec valley, than by those who are
SO closely connected with other in.
terests that the lines here are but a
minor issue. The headquarters of the
company will be in Bath, and the
hnes will be operated solely in
the interests of this section
At VIII do more to add to the
prosperity of the Kennebec valley
than anything which has been at
tempted for some time, and will tend
10 increase the popularity of the sum-
mer resort in this section more than
any other agency Bath appreciates
the good work of Carl K. Crosby and
ms father, Hon. E. s. Crosby, am. will,
try TO snow that appreciation nv
helping make the lines which tbev
are establishing. so successful tbat
more boats will be needed before
many seasons pass.

Alcohol and good health do not 70

down and makes way for degenera-

there are still thousands here in

in order to obtain it. Let alcohol a.

Maine GOSSIP
The True Story of a Kicker

(By Holman F. Day.
There lived two frogs, so I've been
told.
In a quiet wayside pool;
And one of those frogs was a blamed
But the other frog was fool
Now a farmer man with a big milk
Was wont to pass that way:
And he used TO stop and add a drop
OF the aqua pure, they say.
And it CHANGED one morn in the early
dawn,
When the farmers sight was dim.
He scooped those frogs in the water
Which same was a joke on him.
The fool frog sank in the smashing
AS the farmer bumped to town.
But the smart frog flew like a tug
boat screw,
So he kicked and splashed and he
slammed and thrashed.
And he kept on top through all;
And he churned that milk in first
In great big butter ball.
Now when the milkman got to town,
And opened the can, there lay
The fool frog drowned; but hale and
The kicker he hoped away.
Don't fret your life with needless
strife,
Yet let this teaching stick;
You'll find. old man, in the worlds
big can
1t sometimes pays to kick.
How old is the custom of putting
silver under the foot of the masts of
a ship to bring the vessel good luck?
asks the Boston Herald And does
the custom prevail in other lands?
1t is noted that when Donald B.
Macmillan, the Arctic explorer, su-
perintended the stepping of the masts
of his ship, the Bowdoin. on the
Maine coast the other day, he gave
recognition to this sailor supersti-
ton. Under the mainmast he placed
a half dollar given by the son of his
college classmate, Ellis Spear, q Bos-
ton lawyer, and under the foremost
he placed a silver dollar given by the
twin sons of another classmate,
Charles S. Sewall of Wiscasset, Me.
A case in equity was being heard
in the Supreme Court on the day the
Holy Cross and Bowdoin baseball
teams crossed bats. and Justice AL
bert NJ Spear regretted that he was
thus deprived of seeing the college
boys on the diamond, relates The
Stroller. AS if further to whet his
desires to see the game, the college
boys and their followers marched by
the County Courthouse en- route to

has served Bangor in that capacity
for 40 years. Since 1876 he has held
the office with the exception of the
years 1905 and 1906 during which time
the Democrats were in control. This
long service as city clerk is one claim
to distinction, but he has others for

The quar- tet is composed of John A. Carey, bar itone, once of the famous 16Sth In fantry quartet; Vincent V.Rogers, sec ond bass; J. Sherman Schoonmaker, second tenor and pianist; and D. w.

The New Englanders, a group of three young artists, will vie with their Indian sisters in a. pro- gram of great interest.
 Brush, the great the clever magi- clan, will give a wonderful perform ance on the third day and when it is all over the audience will not know any more than when he started ex- entertainment Perhaps the number which will interest the people more than any other is the drama to be presented on the fifth day by a cast of popular players on Broadway.

NOT ROOM ENOUGH
 FOR ALL 10 SWIM

New York Aug. 6-The sizzling summer of 1921 has made all New York want to go a-swimm1ng-but there isn't room enough for all to swim.
 On week-ends it's a strong man who can battle into bath-houses at nearby beaches and even if there were more bathhouses, it's hard to imagine how many more thousands could gain foothold on the crowded sands.
 So, from City Hall down, everyone is trying to locate new swimming ho1es-and a. twentieth century swim ming hole in Americas largest city is a costly proposition. Mayor Hylan has urged construction of a swimming pool in Central Park and it has been suggested than an unneeded reservoir be converted to the of a perSpir- ing citiZenry, but at present it's all talk, and talk is even more heating.
 Meanwhile special shower baths have been built in tenement district, street cleaners hosing heated pave nents wash down youngsters for the asking, and in the smaller parks dot ting the city the police aren't quite so jealous in driving amph1bious street urchins out of the fountains.
 Tn worlds 1argst swimming pool has been opened in Madison Square Garden, dock-dT ing along the Hud- son, Harlem al Il East Rivers is as popular as ever, and now and then a neighborhood produces something unique in the way of a bathing tub.
 For instance the firernen at the Greenwich Village station house have built a wooden pool for the neigh borhood youngsters, and artists and poets of the section lay aside palette and pen every day to watch a young woman instruct her splashing pupils there.
