/ think the stars we see shining
AT night when the sun goes to rest,
Are lights in the windows of Heaven
Put there by the cnes we love best.
To light us safely home again
When our stay on earth is done,
Back to the ones who have gone before
Who are waiting for us to come.

w. A. Tainter of Cleveland. Ohio,
arrived at Caribou recently to take n
position with the Aroostooll Fedora
ton of Farmers as factory superin-
tendent of their factory. Mr.. fainter
began his fertilizer experience in the
laboratory of one of the large fer
tiliZer manufacturers at the age of
IA and remained there eight years
rising to the position as head chem
list. He then had charge of fer
tilizer factory and later during the
war, when the American dye indus
try was being developed, he was en-
gagged as chemist by one of the big
dye manufacturers. Mr.. fainter
comes with excellent recommends
tions and the Federation feels itself
fortunate in having secured the
services of such a competent and re-
liable man to take charge. The fac
tory is the first modern, up-to.date
fertilizer plant ever built and owned
by the farmers of New England, and

this clergyman, who exhorted all to
join, to whistle If they could not sing.
Reluctant at first there was waver-
ing and feeble response. Another and
more vigorous invitation on his part
brought forth a greater volume of
tuneful melody and harmony and
clearly distinct above the orchestra
and vocal efforts of great majority
of the audience, sounded the pastors
lead as whistler. It is a novelty that
is surprisingly fine and whistling has
come to stay in that church at these
services. Mr.. Thompson is one who
can practice as well as preach and

his church must look to their laurels

clerk they required a deposit from
guests not having baggage. That's
all right said veazie and took out
his pocketbook and handed the clerk
a thousand dollar bin on the Veazie
bank of Bangor--then a State bank.
We had then what We called Bank
Detectives or Delienators,' or some
other name. So the clerk looked up
the j, Veazie bank and exclaimed:
why, that bank never issued but
two $1,000 bills!' Whereupon Gen.
