Says Fly Rod. writing from
Haines' Landing: How did this
place get it's name" is often asked.
More than a hundred years ago a
man by the name of Haincs, r., with
his family, came TO this far away
wilderness, cleared piece of land
and on the opposite shore of the
lake, started a little farm and when
he crossed the lake, landed here. The
clearing he made Is now covered
with bushes. but part of the old cell
lar wall can still be found, and that
is all except the name of Haines
landing, that remains of this family.
Here at the end of the road, more
than a hundred automobiles often
stop for a view down the lake, as
from all over the United States and
Canada tourists motor to the Range
lcys.

Ing modern methods so rapidly that
he is fast getting away from the GUS
toms of his ancestors, says The Bath
Times. For more years than the
present generation can remember,
Indians have been coming to the
marshes. which border Winnegance
creek and gathering quantities of
sweet grass. which they weave into
baskets and other novelties to sell.
In the past they have made their
trips in canoes and. after hauling
them up on the banks, gone on the
marshes and picked the grass. This
year it is different for on Saturday,
there arrived at Winnegance a Ford
automobile, filled with Indians, who
parked their car in a nearby field
and then gathered their supply Of
grass and at night drove away with
huge bundles Of it carefully tied up
and wrapped, on one of the running
boards of the car.

ing the sign Kentucky Riding Club"
on large barn just west of Kenne-
bunk village, The Biddeford Journal
states. The unusual thing about
this notice is the fact that a 16-year
old girl is back of the undertaking
and composes the club. Last year
Elsie G. Libby. daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur G. Libby. conceived the
idea of teaching Workmanship and
purchased 10 horses, some Of the
Morgan strain. and equipped them
with bride and saddle and soon
there were pupils from 81 miles
around and the miss became famous
as a horsewoman in night. Miss
Libby easily does the stunts of west
ern riders in the movies and more,
too, because she breaks colts to the
saddle and often does it for horse
men. She has always loved horses
and been with them since childhood
and it seems second nature to
handle them in all their moods. Last
spring her stable was struck by
lightning and set on fire. Unassistcd,
she removed her horses in spite of
flames and dropping cinders. The
stable has been rebuilt under her
direction. being 80 by So feet. with
Accommodations for Is horses. There
is grain room. dressing room and
q cotton hay NOW. Everything is
modern and convenient. Last year
Miss Libby had three acres laid down
to grass for her own use. Hourly
practice in the saddle is given daily
