great Hollingsworth & Whitney mill
was the finest equipped and managed
mill of it's kind. in this country. and
he knew of the splendid record
which the cotton mills of WaterviIle
had made. Their products were
known the world over and they set
q high standard Of quality.
There was no question about Wa
tervilles being religious center be-
cause it had an unusually large num-
Der of active churches and u splen-
did membership. It's church leaders
we're known throughout the State
and it's meetings proved that a very
lively interest was taken in religious
matters.
Waterville was the center of the
great Y. NJ. c. A. movement and the
Governor told how he had visited
the "Y's" officers and had seen their
splendid system of keeping track of
all the boys and young men with
whom the Y. NJ. c. A. came in con-
tact. The Governor referred to the
| y
highly of the work the League was
doing. He said that such an organi-
zation was needed in every state for
it is necessary that good citizens lie
always watchful to detect and run
down crime. and that the Civic Lea
que was doing work that no ether
organization could do. He spoke
80 nf
League and especially referred to tie
Reverend Mr.. Owen.
He urged that the teachers in the
communities he given every enconr-
agement in their work and said that
the boys and girls of the present are
the citizens of the future and that
they must be given a fair start in
life. The Governor spoke of DR..
Thomas plan to eliminate illiteracy
in Maine and said that the statistics
showed that there were 7S6 litter
ates in Waterville.
Referring to the political status Of
Waterville he told his hearers that
they should take a more active in
terest in the State government and
that the business interests of the
State were a prime concern Of the
present administration. He spoke of
the responsibilities of the Governor
and Council and how their work ex-
tended into every detail of the States
affairs. He said that at every council
meeting there were numerous re-
quests for salary increases and that
at one recent meeting more than ~
increases were asked for. He tod
how it was necessary to say NO" in
many cases and he explained the
status of the State Contingent Fund.
which he considers a menace to
sound finance. The Governor said
tina. no man in the State could get
the other mans point of view quite
as could the Governor. for he had
survey before him of the activities
! of the State. He spoke of the well
fare work that is being done for the
widowed mothers of the State. some
GOO in number, and Of the child well
fare work which embraces the care
Of 200 children. He told of the hos
pitfalls of the State and OF the feeble
minded institution at Pownal. He
said that it was the fixed policy of
the State to enlarge the feeble mind
ed home each year until all the feeble
minded people of Maine were under
tine States charge.

cultural commodities Is very low and
the manufactured commodities are
still relatively high. This differen-
tial is being gradually lessened, said
Mr.. Mattson.
A number Of industries have not
yet been completely readjusted.
Wages will be still more reduced and
overhead must he reduced and final
lily the chaotic conditions abroad will
tend to retard good business in the
United States.
The points brought out by the
speaker indicate that the come back
of business will be slow but during
this development period. it might be
called. there will be possibility OF
, making profits. The general outlook
for business at the present time Is
better than q year ago.
Mr.. Mattson went or to say that
there are two types of business men
the partial oppQrtunists and the OPP
portunists. The first sit by and. wait
till business gets better. before they
do anything: the second go after
what business there is and are able
to make fair profits despite the gen-
eral poor conditions.
| The latter takes advantage of low
commodities and buy ahead. they also
take advantage of sectional business
ses and are now laying their plans fol
a time when evevbody's business
will be good. There are also new
'kinks" IN business which are help.
ing. Mr.. Mattson cited the Eskimo
pie. the small packages of raisins an6
other things which are new phases Of
an old industry and serve, to attract
and increase sales Of these commodi
ties.
Finally. said the speaker. we SHOULD
reduce the producing costs rather
than to increase prices so to NEE
