The necessity for the State and

by Governor Percival P. Baxter in
his address at the opening of the
fifth annual Maine Assessors con-
vention Tuesday evening in the
House of Representatives hall at the
State House. He declared that the
taxes of the State and the munich
palities must in some way be re-
duced from their present high level
and that he believed that in Maine
we have at least made a beginning
in tax reduction.
The Governors address was of par
ticular interest to the local assessors
who have gathered in the city from
all sections Of tho State 20 discuss
the problems in their limo of work
Economy was the keynote OF his
message, and he pointed out that it
is necessary for the municipalities to
do so because the municipal rate of
taxation is much larger than that of
the State.
Assessors were present in large
numbers at the opening session of
the convention, and it is expected
that with those who arrive today
there will be $50 in attendance.

An Ode to the Girl

(By One of the Boys)
Little girl, you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no ''petti skirt?"
Just your corset and your hose
Are those all your underclothes?
Little girl, you look so slight
When I see you in the light.
With your skirts cut rather high
Won't you catch a cold and die?
Aren't you 'fraid to show your calf;
1t must make the fellows laugh.
Little girl, what is the cause?
