BOARD OF TRADE.
Summer School-Subscriptio to the
Boom Maine Fund

bOOm Maine FunO.
Ellsworth should invite the return
of the Boston University summer
school again this year. This seems
to be the feeling generally expressed
at the regular meeting of the board
of trade Monday evening. About
sixty members of the association
representative business men of the
city, were present, and gave express
sion to their ideas.
The meeting was called primarily
to discuss the summer school situa-
ton, but as preface to his remarks,
President Leland drew attention to
the lack of cooperation on the part
of the tradespeople, who are directly
benefited by the associations efforts.
He urged them to attend the meet
ings more regularly, and work to-
gether better if they would get a
share in this flow of business.
Viewed from purely business
standpoint, the summer school is
good proposition. The annual pay
roll is around $4,000, and the ex-
penditures of the board of trade for
entertainment during their short stay
here is slightly more than one per
cent Of the amount brought in and
the money they put in circulation, for
practically all of it is spent in the
city.
The one Objectionable feature to
1o Al Il - l.
the few students of a rougher ele-
ment who made several disagreeable
breaks during last year. Ellsworth
should urge careful choice of the
/ students brought to the city.
o. w. Tapley gave an interesting
! account of the work of the Maine
Publicity Bureau, and cited Incl
dents, showing the gradual change Of
the tourist from Maine to Canada.
Right here, Mr.. Tapley innocently
caused big laugh, when he said,
Canada has something to offer
them" and voice from the audience
responded, "You bet they have!"
! Mr. Tapley suggested that as Ellis
worth had never subscribed to this
i fund, and an annual meeting will be
called this month in Bangor a con-
/ tribution might be given to show the
city is in accord with the movement
to advertise Maine A vote was
taken and four units, 500 was sub
scribed
President Leland is highly pleased
over the interest in the meeting, and
hopes for the same spirit and full at
tendance at the next regular board of
trade meeting, March IL.

N|THPAD
Mothers Problem to Meet
FretfuIness Of Youngster
Solved by Electricity.

Mrs. Browne was worried about
the baby. 1t was cold and windy
autumn. day and he was already a
little hoarse Naturally his mother
was worried lest his cold should
grow worse. She had spread a1rug
on the floor of his kiddie koop, put
his warmest sweater on him and
slipped wooden stockings over his
feet and legs. His toys were piled
about him, but still he was fret
full.
IF he. were naughty child I
wouldn't think anything of his cross
ness" thought Mrs. Browne as a
fresh whimper came to her. But
he Is such good baby and never
cries unless he Is uncomfortable,
and I know It's the cold that makes
him cranky. It's absurd to. start
the furnace as early as this, but
I'll have to do it If this wind l.eeps
up. wonder If the heating pad
would do any good? believe I'll
try itr'
Right away Mrs. Browne wheeled
the screen-sided crib near to con-
venient outlet, connected the cleo.
trio heating pad and set its switch
at low heat. The pad she spread on
the mattress, placed a thin blanket
and rubber sheet over it and return
ed Master Baby to his crib. The
heat was not intense enough to
create more than pleasant warmth
but before long the baby's contanted
cooes testified to his comfort.
