More Trouble

Something is always taking the joy
out Of life. Now comes government
bulletin with the discourasing news
that certain kinds of shoe polish are
very injurious and will shorten the
age Of usefulness Of our pedal ex'
tremity coverings.
The path OF life is pretty goldarned
rocky in places. Just when you be-
gin to jog along on smooth stretch
you strike a hill. Now. when shoe
polish had got down to price where
II did not cost quite as much as q
pair OF shoes used to. some Wash
ington gink throws . scare into the
people. II you follow him. you may
have to wear shabby-lookIng shoes,
or buy new ones.
There Is one consolation. II will
soon be warm enough to 60 barefoot
ed. The women are not wearing much
anyway. so should they discard shoes
Il would not cause any more eyestrain
on the part OF the men.
Years ago we roomed with young
man who said when he had n new
hat and his shoes polished he always
felt dressed up. regardless Of the con
dition OF his suit. That was over
thirty years ago. He may have
changed his mind before now.

Election Forecast

The Herald man IL going to make
a stab at the result Of the town cleo
tion next Tuesday. and see II he can
come as near the facts as the calen-
dar man, who evidently took into con.
sideration that an election would
take place April 4.
The Herald man predicts that one
mayor and three trustees will be
elected, the Lord being willing and
the creek don't get up. This means,
Of course, that there will be total
Of four defeated candidates. The
statement is not made that they will
be disappointed, because why should
any man be disappointed on escaping
trouble. However, someone should
serve on the town board, if the com.
pensation is only cussing.
Here is the calendar mans predic
tion for the week-three days before
election and three days after: Sat.
urday. April WINDY. We take that
to mean that some of the candidates
or their friends are likely to talk
considerably about the good points
of their side and the supposed bad
points Of their opponents. Sunday
cloudy. Perhaps some will have
talked so much that others are a
trifle peeved. Monday The
more some think about the election
and the opposing crowds, the more
they are inclined to be irritable.
Tuesday-cool Election day. Not
enough opposition to warm things up
Business and social relations just a
bit cool. Wednesday-frosty. De
feated candidates and their friends
somewhat frigid toward the winners
Thursday-clear The more those
taking an active part in the election
think about 1t, the more they are in
clined to believe they have nothing
to be sorry over. Friday-pleasant
What's the use Of making mountains
Of molehills. they evidently have de
cided. SO the political horizon clear
and business continues to gain mo
mentum.

of East Burke as one of the
nest progressive, up-to-date
villages in the state. Yet East
Burke has less than one half
the population of our town.
Without the slightest inten-
ton of knocking" we would
wish to call the citizens atten-
ton to a few essential improve
ments, the mere accomplish
ment Of which would tend to
class Island Pond as a progress
sive up-to-date, and better still,
a wide awake town.
Have we any public buildings
to which the citizens may point
with pride, or at which a stran-
ger would gaze with lively ap-
probation of our progressive
spirit? Have we an up-to-date,
comfortable hotel for the con-
venience of our many out-of-
town visitors? Yet, there was
a time, not so many years ago,
when this little town supported
seven thriving hotels.
Where is the seat of this in
difference, this tendency to let
things slide? Is the present
generation less ambitious than
our struggling, up-building fore
fathers?
Are our sidewalks anything
to boast of? Why haven't we
a club house of some sort?
Where is the Brighton Band?
What have we to offer visitors
in the way of amusements?
With the extraordinary adj
vantages Nature has given us,
there is no reason why Island
Pond could not be developed in
to a more thriving, progressive,
up-to-date town than some of
our smaller less sleepy neigh
bors.
