In Maine the greatest entomology

connection with forest insects. This

the State is covered with forest

third Of our laborers work in the
wood-using industries. Over one
third of our capital is invested in
these industries. Even the railroads
depend largely uron forest products
for freight. Unfortunately it has
been the history of nearly every
country and many of our states to
fail to appreciate and conserve their
forests until too late. Unless steps
are taken to better protect the for

Secretary Makes
Report of Work
Chamber Commerce

detailed report of the work of the
Augusta Chamber of Commerce COW
crins the three years of its existance
in Augusta was made by Secretary
George c. Clark to the board of di-
rectors of that organization today
1t brought much favorable comment
as few members of the board real
lied the extent to which the Cham
Der Of Commerce has been used as
promoting body in Augusta. 1t seems
that the secretary manager has had
a free hand to some extent in plan
ming and executing projects that con-
form to the policies laid down by the
board and under this authority many
things have been accomplished by
the committees and with the cooper
alton of the merchants and others
that have not needed to be referred
to the board for specific action. A
summary of these things covering a
period of three years makes interest
ing reading and most effectively ans
wers the question. What does the
- IL
anyone food for thought and makes
one ask the question, who would
look after these things, if we had no
organization authorized to handle
them"
This report will be published in
full shortly, accompanied by a letter
to the members and also used in Sc
curing additional members for the or
ganization. The report has another
very interesting feature in that it has
grouped the activities of each year
together. BY following the work
from year to year one is struck with
the marked progress shown. Each
year has a better record than the
year previous, and the present year,
though only little over ten months
completed, beats them all. The pro-
iects now on the active program give
promise that 19o3-1924 will show an
even better record.
The financial record is even better.
At the close of the first year the or
ganization had debt Of nearly
$4,000. At the close Of the second
wear it's records show a debt of about
$500, while its present condition
shows an actual working balance
with assets of $2507, and liabilities OF
only $13S.04.
very few Chambers Of Commerce
can boast Of a better record and the
board gave unanimous endorsement
to the work and expressed PRIDE III

Small House Is Popular
The small house, with notifications
to suit climate and the individual tastes
of the owner, proved the most popular
type of construction among home build
ers. Architects and~ontractors report
that the builders of small homes are in

all modern devices common to apart

has found it easier to manage if chance

Architects also report that in line
with the demand for labor-saving equip
ment there is also heavy demand for
materials that reduce fire hazard. Ex-
pcrience has shown that fire resistant
building materials are also time and
weather resistant. Where every cent
counts in building home and the cost
is spread over a number of years, the
fact that the roof. for instance, may have
to be replaced in decade must be
considered. The insurance rate is an

Should a Bank Loan Money

by FESTUS ]. WADE


Of st. Louis
fXX7HEN we strike at advertising mean
Wv ing of course efficiently applied adj
vertising strike at craftsmanship,
and the heart Of business. For the banker to
do anything to retard business right now is
suicide.
When the merchant pulls down his single

buyers market, we laugh at him and call him
a poor business man.
When he is forced to cut down one Of his best
methods of selling because his banker consid-
advertising unnecessary item of ex-
pense and refuses an otherwise deserved loan
purely on that principle, it is my humble opin-
ion that we should laugh at the banker, and
feel sorry for the merchant.
Don't mistake my meaning. It is basic
banking principle that loan must be we'll
secured, and firm cannot borrow merely be-
cause it is big and successful advertiser But
the fact that it is believer in advertising and
wants to use portion Of the money for that
purpose should never stand in it's way when it
calls on the Banks credit department.
