Nothing is gained bymerely TALKING
about developing power. The big advan-
tage comes from DEVELOPING power
and getting it distributed where power is
needed.
Have you put your S h ould der to the
wheel? Have you backed your state with
your money?
Have you invested, as over 1000 Maine
people have in Central Maine Power
Company 10 Preferred Stock?
Every single cent Of the net proceeds
from the sale of this stock goes directly or
indirectly into property-power stations,
dams, lines-all tied right into the soil of
Maine. Every cent is set to work, build
ing Maine and helping to increase the
prosperity of its people.
The preferred stock Of the Companyhas
paid dividends for Is years. The Company
officials believe it will always pay divi-
dends
Through the war and through defation,
when security prices in general slumped
to hitherto unknown depths, Central
Maine Preferred sold steadily at $1O75O
share. Now, with securities trending
upward in price, it is unbelievable that
the Company will ever sell it for less.
1t is more than reasonable to suppose
that the Company will one day, when
money conditions return to normal, sell it's
preferred stock at a considerably higher
price.
Future Grozvth of Maine Is in the
Hands of Maine People
The future financing of Central Maine
Power Company is in the hands of Maine
people.
We can, if Maine people wish, sell our
construction machinery, settle back in
our chairs and make good earnings from
our present property for perhaps the next
500 years.
We can, if you wish, when industries

But if Maine is to grow, if it is to take

essarily Central Maine Power Company
must continue to develop power
Other states need their investment
money to develop their own industries If
Maine is to develop, it will be with Maine
money. So ask yourself this question:
Will YOU back your home power COM

The future of the Pine Tree State de-

From Nozv On It Is q Matter OF

Keeping Ahead
Central Maine Power Company enters
the closing months Of 1921 with satisfied
feeling Of duty we'll begun.
We have faced the situation, we have
met the need, we are-so long as the peo-
pie of Maine stand behind us-ready for
the future. We have kept our light so
shining a little ahead of the rest
Ahead of Maine stretch good years.
The Pine Tree State has the jump on the
other water states. But being ahead from
now on is a matter Of KEEPING AHEAD.
Thanks to the advantage of an early
start, Central Maine Power Company has
not had to make thisyear any big power
developments. It is building dam, the
North Channel Dam at Skowhegan, it is
making line extensions and is doing other
small matters. To finance this work a
small amount of stock was issued most of
which has already been sold.
We plan to clean up what remains of
this small issue by January Is, in order to
have the decks cleared for action.
This amount of stock is trihing and will
be taken up in the ma tural course of the
fall and winter demand for c. M. P. Co.
securities.

of what has been done with the 3112 million
dollars they have put into preferred stock
in the past 81 years, to draw their atten-

states are spending to get their power
ready for market and to bring to them
realization that Maine water power de-

said Central Maine Power Company tell

We did.
The result was that the people Of Maine,
through the purchase of preferred stock,
financed the building of power station on
the Messalonskee Stream between Oak
land and Watervile.
Then came the wars end and the days Of
expansion that followed.
More power was needed to enable
Maine industries to get their share Of the
business. Capital was even less plentiful,
however, then, than in war times.
Again Central Maine Power Company
turned to the people of Maine.

PLENTY OF BEER IN N. 0.
Suburban Bars Rushed FOllOwin.
 Great Raid on BreWerieS.

New Orleans, June 26-Following yesterdays raids which put quietus upon the alleged manufacture of good" beer by six local breweries, a scarcity of patrons was noticeable today at many of the cafes in the heart of the city, although surburban resorts, many of which are said to have stocked up for an indefinite pe- riod, continued to do rushing busi- ness Some of them kept open all last night and the day bartenders found plenty of customers to greet them this morning.
 The large crew of dry enforcement officers who staged yesterdays raids apparently made no efforts to stop re- tail sale of the beverage, which they say exceed the legal alcoholic con- tent. AS a result the thirsty ones last night and oday moved outward from the heart of the city in a gradu- ally widening circle, abandoning the bars which they had drained dry.
 Awaits Developments.
 No statement was made today by prohibition agents, and it is the gen. eral opinion that the cases against the breweries will take the course out lined yesterday by Theodore Jaques.

if the girl can be shown that health | is indispensable to beauty, she will listen more attentively to the health talk. If the idea that the male erea- lures admire physical fitness little less than any other quality, can be planted ! in the feminine mind, a great advance 1 toward healthful womanhood will have been made. On the other hand, the boy wants to be strong and healthy as ! a reouisite to strength. Cleanliness IS necessary to health So are fresn alr' exercise. proper food and regular hours. Cigarettes sap the vitality and
 keep the boy off the foot ball team and track team The boy can pc
 rooobod through this desire for phy-
 sical powers.
 The important thing is to get the hvgenic point of view. That this view of mind may be given the children, It
 is necessary that the teacher should he imbued with it. The possession or
 of the hygenic point of view is recom- monded as a necessity to the assurance of diploma to the teacher. The ane- mic school teacher, whose viewpoint is that of weakness and depression IS
 ooinp to be recognized in the school room as something little less obnox- ions than a plague. The escape ot exuberant spirits and bounding good health should be taught in the schools. The old Greek idea of sound body and a sound mind should become an American ideal of the Twentieth Gen. tury. The drive is on, through the nublic schools, that generation or men and women may be reared that will drive the old dragon of fear ana pessimism from the homes Of the na- tion.
 We are trying to be more practical this year in our instructions to teacn- CTS than heretofore. It matters not' for all intents and purposes, whether the child has yellow fever or smallpox, so far as he is individually concerned for that particular days work. It would be my advice to send home the child suffering from stone bruise, as quick as one suffering from any other ailment, because his brain power IS all that you expect of him, end if he is physically unfit from any cause, home is the best place for him. Then, too' we will educate the patrons of our school by letting them understand that we do not want in our school rooms, children who are sick. A school should be laboratory for brains, muscles and morals-not hospital.
 In my earlier days I thought the medical profession was the only or greatest profession of all, but after some years, I have decided that the teacher holds the greatest responsi- bility.
 Tachers are the greatest asset we have; for without them we would be practically helpless. Think of prea- cher trying to preach to an under educated audience; but the most de- plorable condition is where a doctor comes in contact with a mother and she is not competent to take instruc- tions to relieve her child.

The LegiOndires Mob
Woman Speaker
(By Federated Press)

Mason City, Iowa-The American
Legion here is again running true to
form. Ida Crouch Hazlett, speaking
before a crowd assembled in a city
park on unemployment conditions and
the necessity for working class action
to ameliorate them, was compelled to
stop speaking by the rowdy tactics
of a group of Legionaires and the Sal
walton Army band and finally was
seized by some of the ruffans, taken
to a waiting automobile and driven
from town.
Early in Mrs. Hazlett's speech a
policeman accosted her and asked her
to stop speaking, declaring she had
no license. A man in the audience,
giving his name to the policeman, and
saying he was a citizen, demurred,
taking the position that she had a
perfect constitutional right to speak
and was breaking no law. The officer
then left. Shortly afterward someone
began throwing small stones at the
speaker and then the Salvation Army
band, which had been playing at a
nearby corner, marched right before
Mrs. Hazlett playing the Star Span
gled Banner and drowning her voice.
This was the signal, apparently,
for the Legionaires. They crowded
around Mrs. Hazlett, one stepped up
onto the park bench where she was
standing and attempted to push her
off. A husky working man, who was
alongside, lifted him off his feet by
we'll directed punch in the jaw. But
in the general melee other Legionaires
grabbed the woman and made off to
the waiting car, which was rapidly
driven out of the city.
