sons. In speaking Of what Maine is
doing to preserve its splendid heri-
tage, he told the Rotarians of the IL
state fish hatcheries, where the ca
pacity is being doubled to keep the
lakes and streams repIenished. And
of the setting aside of great game
preserves.
There are $4,000 acres In the
Rangeley preserve and over 10000 in
the Katahdin preserve and in the
latter there are 16 mountain peaks.
"See Katahdin," was the speakers
final admonition to his listeners.
THAT region Is beyond description
in words, you must see it to appre-
ciate it's grandeur" He drew a glow
ing wore picture Of that majestic
mountain, rearing its rugged head
high above the thousands Of sur
rounding acres of forest land. The
awesome beauty of Chimney Pond
set like a gem in the diadem of
Katahdin 5000 feet above sea level,
with the peak of the mountain pierre
ing the clouds $500 feet higher.
1T is a wonderful legacy" con-
Guided the speaker, "but We do not
appreciate it. If we did we would
be bending every effort to see that
our Fish and Game Department, and
our various state agencies are given
adequate appropriations to carry out
the necessary work of preservation
for the future. We would endeavor
to guarantee this heritage to our
children and our. children's children"

their enjoyment of mathematics.

ago and since that time has become one
of the largest organizations Of the

used the ransom ruse to cover his
tracks was discarded by the coroner's
aids who insisted that some form OF
poison had caused the boys death.
Robert Franks a freshman at the pri-
vate school where sons Of the rich are
students, left the institution shortly
after five o'clock, after a baseball
game, Richard p. Williams, the ath-
letic director saf6
He started toward his home and
passed a grey car standing at the
curb a half block away, Irving Hart
man, IL years old, said.
Instructor Williams said that later,
with pupil. he called at the Franks
home and with the boys father and
a friend made search at the school:
Wednesday night man who said
his name was johnson telephones
that the boy was being held for ran
som.
The letter received the next morn
ing demanded $4,000 ransom and
ordered that the money be OF oio
bills of $50 and $50 denominations.
The letter said further instructions
would be received.
You need fear no physical harm
for him provided you live up care
fully to the following instructions,
and such others as you may receive
by further communications, the
missive said, making threats OF death
for the boy If instructions were not
followed.
The letter, the authorities believe.
was written after the boy was dead.
The authorities today also found
similarities in the letter and one OF
a similar nature in q story in a re-
cent magazine. The father went to
the bank and withdrew the money
as directed. placing it In cigar box
which he sealed. He waited for in
structions.
These came late in the day IN the
form of another phone call from the
man johnson" who instructed the
father to take his money to drug
store. The voice said taxi would
call for him.. Shortly thereafter the
cab arrived but the driver said he
had been instructed by telephone to
go to the Franks home and did not
know where he was to take his fare.
A short time after this relatives
identified the body Of the boy found
in the swamp as that of Robert and
the police began an intensive hunt
for clues.
The boys instructors were -ques-
toned yesterday and again were
questioned at length today. They
described Robert as a brilliant boy
but slight for his age.
The school which the boy attend
! ed was closed today, due in part to
the fact that so many of the instruc-
ors were being questioned. Roberts
companions came as usual, most Of
them in limousines and in charge Of
the family chauffer, only to return
| to their homes.

of publicity and propaganda broad
cast by California and certain other
state bidding for the tourist and
sportsman's patronage, would go for
naught, and instead of numbering
our summer visitors in the hundreds
of thousands as at present, Maine
would entertain millions of vaca-
tionists and seekers after health and
recreation and nature lovers from
every state in the union nd from the
four corners of the earth.
The speaker was highly imbued
with the spirit of the wondrous ma
tural beauties of Maine, and gave
his hearers to feel something of that
same pride in their state. He paid
a tribute to the nature lovers of all
time and to the deciple of Isaac Wal
ton, who perhaps first of all people
recognized the incompatible attrac-
tions which this state has to offer at
every turning.
Commercial Aspect
Mr.. Parsons progressed swiftly in
the unfolding of his subject, he ad-
mitted that he would like to talk for
hours on the glory that is Maine. but
in the thirty minutes assigned him
he endeavored to give his audience
some knowledge of the commercial
side of Tie proposition. He spoke of
the $500 miles of seacoast, and men
toned Californian's pride in their
1000 miles of coastline. He men
toned the $500 lakes set like jewels
on the breast of the earth within our
boundaries, the more than 5000 rivers
and streams-all Astounding in fish to
lure the sportsmen and angler.
He recounted an instance of telling
an audience in New York of Names
100000 acres of forest, as sufficient
to place every man, woman and child
in New York state on an acre Of for
est covered land. where practically
every one Of them could and would
probably get lost.
maine attracted $4,000 tourists in
1924, and estimating that every per-
son spent the low average amount Of
500. and taking only 100000 as the
number of summer visitors that
would figure $70,000,000 which our
tourists leave in this state annually"
He touched on the ethical side of
the subject, mentioning the health
giving features which our natural
resources provide. He gave many
incidents illustrative of restored
strength and vigor to those who took
natures remedy in our own North
Woods. Mr.. Parsons recalled the
coming to this state a number of
years ago of broken down student.
who located in northern Piscataquis
county, where he stayed for three
summers and one winter This young
man afterward went West and be-
came a rancher, and the wonderful
vitality and strength Of mind and
body had been restored to him in the
Maine woods lead hi to the White
House. He was Theodore Roosevelt
one of the greatest Americans Of all
time, who never forgot what the
State of Maine had given to him.
