AN ENTERPRISE THAT MERITS
YOUR SUPPORT

Notwithstanding the amount of
shipping that is now lying idle in the
harbors and at tn edocks Of the
United States, ocean travellers are
still obliged to pay high rates for
transatlantic travel, and an unpar-
alleled opportunity to build up the
American Merchant Marine is being
lost. Recognizing this fact, and real
izing that the time was opportune
for an undertaking Of this nature,
the organizers Of the Great Northern
S. S. Co. formed their Corporation,
which received its charter from the
State of Massachusetts, October a.,
1922.
They visualized new ocean stem
ship line, plying between Boston and
European ports, controlled by the
people, which would offer to these
same people chance for ocean travel
on comfortable commodious ships, at
a price within the reach of all, but
large enough to allow a profit for the
investor and sufficient margin tc
allow for the carrying on and enlarg-
ing Of the enterprise.
This was their threefold purpose
to render genuine service to the
people,-to help build up American
shipping, and to bring business and
trade to the port of Boston.
In spite of the failure Of the Ship
Subsidy Bill, in spite Of the opposit-
ion which each new competitor in an
established field encounters, this
Company is bring it's plans to ma
turity and expects that very soon it
will be able to offer definite sailing
dates to the public.
This, surely, is an enterprise that
merits your support.

FACTORY WORK FOR FARMERS


Everything that Henry Ford does
is interesting. Residents of Beling-
ton may not always agree with him,
but they sit up and take notice when
he announces plan, whether it is to
put up money for peace ship or to
make few hundred thousands extra
automobiles this year. His latest
proposal is said to contemplate the
building of small factories here and
there, wehereever he can obtain suit
able sites for water power. He has
long been Of the opinion that farm
ing is not an efficient business, be-
cause the farmer puts in too much
time at non-productive affairs. He
thinks men ought to farm in sum
mer and build automobiles in winter.
And now he proposes to give them
a chance to do that very thing, by
building factories in small towns,
operating them at full capacity dur
ing the winter months and closing
~-t~'t esP al titS SPIN 80 Vic iaftfitI
can go back to his crops Apparently
he does not see any difficulty in tax
ing care Of the stock. He would adj
vocate power farming, of course, and
would have the farmers use tractors
instead of horses, and we suppose so
arrange n that the cow and chickens
could be looked after by the women
folk until the men got home from the
factory in the evening. Darymen he
would not offer jobs in the factory,
because that is an all-year-round
business.
The proposal is revolutionary
one. So have been many things done
by Henry Ford And it is going to
be interesting to watch him and see
Just how far he can go with it.

WHEN WE GET ROADS

We hope to see the time, and that
not very far away, when every town
in this country not able to boast a
library will have facilities whereby
wholesome, entertaining and instruc-
tive books and magazines can be re-
gularly deposited at the doors of its
residents. And we would also like
to see such system arranged as to
make it possible for residents out in
the rural districts to secure similar
advantages.
Some Of these days, when we get
perfect roads around Belington this
is going to come. The state will
eventually provide library trucks and
these will make regular trips into
every county, distributing new books
and magazines, and collecting those
that they have been read and carry
ing them on to others. No one will
be able to measure the value Of such
circulating library Already a few
eastern states have tried it out and
found it the most popular thing since
the parcels post started.
But in every district where it has
been tried out the roads are pretty
near perfect. The state can't afford
to start out trucks over roads that
are frequently impossible and hope
to maintain any kind of satisfactory
schedule. 1t is up to the citizens Of
this state to fight harder or improv-
ed roads in the future than they have
ever fought in the past if they ex-
pect to get ar enough out Of the mud
to enjoy such Advantages as the motor
truck library would furnish them.
Especially is this true in the winter
time - the. very time when readers
in our smaller towns and out in the
rural districts most appreciate new
reading matter. Once we have roads
good enough to warrant the travel
ing library trucks starting out we'll
find ourselves enjoying many more
advantages that we haven't yet
dreamed Of

Some time later, when seated at
dinner, he remarked to a lady near
him: Il grew this table-cloth myself.
