hines need for power
lvour investment
pportunity

Central Maine Power Company has been selling
it's preferred stock continuously since 19O8-longer
continuously than any other power company in the
United States
AS long as it has water power to develop-and as
long as the demand for electric energy grows-the
Company expects to sell stock continuously.
But don't forget that every cent Of the net pro-
ceeds from the sale of this preferred stock has gone
into property that stands behind the Investment
and don't forget that the earnings Of this property
have always been ample to pay preferred stock dvi
dends
And So when somebody tries to get you to send
some of your money out of the state to develop wat
err powers in other states just bear in mind that it
will take lot of money to finance the development
of Maine water powers and that HOME INVEST
ING IS NOT ONLY SAFER BUT, IN THE LONG
RUN PAYS BETTER \.

New Version of the Invention of tn,
Rosary Found in Pages of An
Gent Historian.


Catholic authorities have attributed
the invention of the rosary to st. Dom
inic. founder Of the famous Dominican
order. But evidence of still earlier
origin of the rosary has come to light.
It is related of Lady Codiva by Will
liam Of Malmesbury that she be-
uueathed to the monastery of Gov
entry "a circlet of gems, which she
had threaded on a string, in order that
by lingering them one by one, as she
successfully recited her prayers, she
might not fall short Of the exact num-
ber."
"This, il authentic" says Cornelius
81. Patton, in Asia Magazine, 'is In
teresting as disposing of the theory,
often held, that the Roman Catholics
of Europe learned the use of the rosary
from the Saracens at the time of the
Crusades. Lady Godiva must have

The coffee tree begins to bear when
it is about three years old and it con-
tinues for about twenty years, the
singular fact about it being often no
ticeable that the fresh blossom and
the ripened fruit will appear on the
same tree at the same time.
The fruit of the coffee tree is round
and red and looks like our cherries

by the natives as we eat cherries.

into Asia Minor and Palestine. More
recent Catholic authorities call atten-
ton to the fact that, although the Ro-

not become interested in the rosary

M ORE than fifty blocks Of the best
lV1 residence section of Berkeley,
Cal, were swept by flames early in
the week, and between $4,000 and
$4,000 persons were made homeless.
The property loss was probably about
S5,OO0,000. The city is the site of the
University Of California, and one of
the most attractive in the West. Three
other smaller California towns also
were burned, all the confagrations
originating in forest fires.
