WE WOULD NOT BE MISUNDER.
STOOD

Our readers are well aware that
the policy of the Journal in a
primary campaign is to give the
respective candidates "a fair field
and no favor" We think they will
agree with us that this has been
done, Notwithstanding one of the
candidates for the Republican
nominal ton as Governor is a resi-
dent of this city. born and brought
up in this community, that is proud
of his record. that respects his
honorable career. that 'admires his
force of character, his integrity Of
purpose and his ability shown in
every. walk of life which he has
travelled to his present eminence.
The Journal would not have 1t
understood that it's reasons for not
championing any candidacy are
In any way a reflection on Mr..
Harrington. On the contrary, hav-
ing known him from boyhood. we
believe that Frank G. Harrington
possesses the qualifications which
We wish to see possessed by our
ofYicials. He has the character, he
has the ability. to perform the
duties of the high Office which he
eesks creditably to himself and to
the state of Maine. He has not,
we firmly believe, any strings on
him; is not beholden to any "in-
terest," or to any faction. We believe
he is spending his own earnings in
this primary campaign and II he
wins will be under no obligations
other than to all the people Of this
State.
We say this in justice to Mr.. Far
rinston, who is our respected neigh
Dor and our friend, and in justice
to ourselves,

A good Christmas sermon includ-
ed the following: "One person have
to make good: myself. But my
duty to my neighbor is much more
nearly expressed by saying that
have to make him happy. If I may"
Said a well-known apple grower
yesterday, 1.-THE trouble with the
apple business in Maine today is
neighbors who don't do their part.
My orchard has neglected orchards
on either side. Those orchards are
not cared for, are not sprayed. Re-
suit, I must put in twice the work
on mine, and then cannot be rid of
the bugs that are begotten on the
other side of the line fence and
come into my orchard to live"
"Those trees of my neighbors, one
wouldn't call them neighborly trees,
are right now infested with tent
caterpillars which have got to kill
or feed. They have to be cared for
at my expense when they should be
cared for at the neighbours expense.
Once line fences were a frequent
subject Of controversy and often
featured in the courts. There is not
so much Of that today. This may
not mean that our neighbors are
any more kindly disposed, but sure
ly they are better informed respect
ing unsatisfactory lawsuits. A law
can be passed imposing penalties on
neighbors who do not care for their
orchards; those penalties can be in
flicted. II so. after a while, the
negligent neighbor will discover that
the easier as well as the better way
Is properly to care for his orchard
without being compelled to do so.
Why not anticipate that conclusion
by being wise enough to do the
proper thing right now, without
waiting to be compelled to kill the
bugs or cut down the trees?

rabbit lady was standing on the
back porch waiting to receive them.
"Ha, hal" laughed the old gentle
man rabbit. Il brought Little Miss
Mousie along. She'd be lonesome
at home"
"Of course she would" answered
Lady Love. There's no one to look
after when you're away" and she
smiled at Little Miss MouSie who
opened her vanity bag to find pink
gum drop for the bunny boy.
AS soon as the old gentleman
rabbit was comfortably seated in
Mousie had hung up her bonnet
with the purple pansy on it. they
sat down at the table, on which
Lady Love had spread her best

edged with long fringe. Right in
the centre was a big carrot cake
all spread with lettuce leaf MARINA
lade. The lollypop stew was bub-
bling in a big glass dish, and red
clover salad filled another big bowl.
Four tiny cups of turnip tea stood
on the table and in a short time
tine feast commenced.
While everyone was enjoying the
nice supper, Little MISS cricket ana
the Three Grasshoppers sang and
played pretty music. Dear me, but
it, was a lovely scene. And when
the meal was over, dear Uncle
Lucky lighted cabbage leaf cigar
and smoked to his hearts content.
After Little Miss Mousie had
helped Lady Love with the dishes.
she sat down 10 play a game OF
tiddledly winks with the bunny boy,
using thin round lollypops instead
of colored chips that boys aud girls
always play with.
Il must go over for the Old Red
Rooster" said Uncle Lucky after a
while to Lady Love. He's been
home for week of Sundays. Every
once in a while he feels that he
must go back to his little house to
see that everything is all right"
when do you go?" asked Lazy
Love, looking up from her sewing.

Uncle Lucky. 'I'll drive over for
Little Jack Rabbit on the way"
And in the next story you shall

Three members of the Bates Col
lege faculty will sail for Europe i'm
mediately after commencement this
year, to spend their vacations on
the. Continent. Prof. Grosvenor M.
Robinson, in charge of the Public
Speaking Department will go to
Glasgow, Edinburg, and the Lake
regions of Scotland, London and
Stratford on Avon, thence to Hol-
land, Belgium, France, Switzerland
to the theaters in London, Dublin
and Paris. Prof. Herbert r. Pur-
ington, professor of BIBLICAL litera-
ture and religion, will be accom-
panied by DIR. George Dohl of the
Yale faculty. They will visit Rome,
Athens, Alexandria, Cairo, and
spend considerable time in Pales-
tine. Prof. Roland +. Doane of the
French department will go to Paris
Billoa and Spain. before taking up
course at the University of
Grenoble, where he has been award
ed a scholarship by the Franco
American Commission.
They are looking for one Of the
biggest tourist seasons in years in
Wiscasset. A man who was in
Rockland the other day said the
Chamber of Commerce officials in
that city expressed the opinion that
the business would be fully so per
cent larger than last year. Already
automobile traffic is far ahead of
that for the corresponding period of
1928, and this is attributed largely
to the fact that route No. /, the
Atlantic highway, has been re-
stored to the coast towns The
folks claim that that is where it
should have been all the time and
its restoration was brought about
after an energetic protest had been
made to the State Highway Com
mission. Cars from California,
pennsylvania, and numerous other
states have made their appear
ance this season, and all of the
hotels and cottages are going to be
full throughout the summer. 1t is
reported that the Sam-O-Set at
Rockland Breakwater has reserva-
tions that will occupy all available
rooms for the season, the Rockland
hotels are pretty we'll booked up
and there will be mighty few empty
cottages along the coast. In Wis
casset and adjacent towns, most of
the cottages are owned by the 4peo-
pie who come there, and there are
come fine summer homes. Every
one OF 'em will be occupied this
year. 1t is estimated that having
route No. 1 in another location last
year lost for Rockland and that sec
ton of the state at least $4,000
tourists. but different tale will be
told at the end of this season.

Yes, I'm sure it was, for just then.

Breathes there reader who
doesn't imagine he can write poetry !?
We doubt 1t.
In writing the short humorous or

with these things in mind; a definite
idea, an outline or plan of how you
will develop it. and a good knowledge
of rhyme and meter. If you have all
but the last, get together with some
one who can execute your ideas for
you.
If you are an excellent verse
writer, lacking fresh. saIable ideas,

Our Own
HOROSCOPE


John Elkins: If you were born on
June II, John, the dominant influence
in your life is Taurus, the sign of the
Bull. People born under that sign
can be identified by their genial man
ners, dark red neckties, and an over
flow of language
They are very athletic, getting a
great deal of exercise, by jumping to
conclusions and lodging creditors.
Yet, despite their strong constitu-
tons. whenever YOU try to borrow
money. they suffer noticeably from
poor circulation; in other words Cold
Feet.
Tarus people, however, are always
up and doing, doing. in fact, every
body they can, and this democratic
feeling makes all classes interesting
to them.
