DREAMS

r THANK the Lord for dreams of
Il mine
That take me back to child
hood days,
With all the joys and thrills divine
l used to find in youthful ways.
For dreams that take away the
sting
OF losses filled with bitter pain,
Since on their wings once mere
they bring
The lost all smiling back asain.
For dreams in which my hopes so
high
In harvests full are realized,
And goals on which I've set mine
Are eeached with all their laurels
priced.

OF all railroads they either have
smoking car on the train or else have
some compartment where those who
wish to smoke can do so. On the
electric cars, as general rule, there
are no such compartments, but IF
any one wishes to smoke they can
get into the vcstibule of those cars,
if necessary. At certain times these
cars. going twelve or fifteen or
twenty miles. are. more or less
crowded. There is not very much air
in those cars in the winter time, and
when contaminated and foul with to-
baccO Smoke 1t is not very pleasant
for the health and comfort of those
in the car.
Therefore on that ground and at
the suggestion of some of the cleo
trio railroad companies in this State
| presented that bill and It went be-
fore the committee on public utilities
and they unanimously recommended
it.
II this bill goes through have no
doubt but that the electric car peo-
pie can separate parts OF their cars
for smoking purposes. Just the same
as they do on the gasoline car which
runs from Bangor to Bucksport.
Therefore. think that this will be
convenience, and in way largely
conserve the health of those who
travel in the electric cars Of our
State.
Mr.. IIINCKLEY: Mr.. President. 1t
is inconccivable that any person will
continue to smoke if requested by the
conductor not to smoke. 1t is not
n question in my mind of the health
Of those who ride on the cars will be
conserved or not. The railroad COM
panies have ample power to prevent
anv one smoking In their cars and
making n nuisance of themselves. TO
nv mind it will make it a criminal
Offense for any one to step into
car with lighted cigar or pipe.
A yea and nay vote being had the
bill was Indefinitely postponed.

Attorney General

RttO4uey 1SAc4dA
STATE OF MAINE
Department of tho Attorney General
Augusta. March 9th. 1928.
TO the Honorable Senate and House of
Representatives:
In accordance with the resolve di
rccting me to forthwith examine into
the question of profitecring by dealers
in the necessities of Hfe. and especial
~ in The sale of coal, and wood, with
III this State, | have made inNeStiga
tion in all the principal cities and
towns by talking with representative
citizens and by writing letters. also
held two public hearing in the city of
Portland which We're attended by inter-
rstcd parties; many witnesses were eX-
Hmincd ana much testimony obtained.
j also made a personal investigation
into the methods of distributing coal
In said city and into the cause of va
lious complaints which We're made in
relation to the price and delivery of
coal and wood.
Under the resolve, I decided that the
only question for me to determine was
whether or not the coal dealers in
Maine were charging such unreason-
ablr prices and demanding such I'M
usual profits az would constitute a
violation of Chapter &c, Public Laws of
1921.
Many details relating to the coal sit
uation in Maine and to the work of
Mr.. A. i. Lane. Fuel Administrators
were presented to me at these hear
. ings. and l have a record of the same
but [ do not consider it my duty to
make any report to the Legislature in
relation to such facts as they have on
~ a remote bearing on the question Of
proftcerng.
| obtained statements from various
coal dealers of the cost of coal at the
mines. the cost of transportation to
Portland. transportation from Port
land TO the various communities the
cost Of unloading, storage, demurrag &c.
overhead and delivery. also obtained
the price of coal in the various sec
tons of the State. 1 was thus able to
determine approximately the net pro-
fits received by the different dealers in
coal. l do not think it necessary to
incorporate the facts and figures thus
obtained into this report but they are
a part of the records of my office
which citizens of the State may ex-
anime at any time.
Mr. A. i. Lane. the Fuel Administra-
tor had obtained vast amount of in
formation relating to the coal situa-
ton which he kindly placed at my dis
posal and l received very valuable as
Histancc from him in the collection of
materials upon which this report is
based. l am greatly indebted to him
for his hearty cooperation with me in
performing my work.
AS the result of my investigation.
wish to say that I found no evidence
Of the violation of any law which
would justify me in making charge
against any coal dealer in Maine and
l have, therefore, made none. 1 desire
to state that there has been great in
convenience and some suffering or the
part OF the people Of Maine. even in
the city Of Portland, by reason of the
lack OF coal. 1t is also a fact that

Last Saturday the Farmers CO.
operative elevator held their annual
meeting.
The principal bushes was to elect
officers, which was done very quickly,
A. G. Nickerson and Claude Lacock
being unanimously elected to remain
on the board Of directors.
The reports showed that while the
business done was not the same
amount as the previous year, IL was
done at profit, and the amount
would surprise you. 1t was close to
$50 600 90.
? 1t is not the aim Of the association
to pile up large profits, but to do safe
conservative business, furnish good
market for the farmers produce and
make Raymer a good place to market
your stuff.
In this the association has been
very successful, and with increasing
business along present lines, will be
able to add to their working capital,
so as to make the organization still
more successful.
The organization has made con-
tract with the wheat growers associa-
tion to handle their wheat the COM

mittee efore the sale II possible.

vertise what will be on sale and this

see what you want on this list that
there is always lot of stuff brought
in too late to list and you may find
