Cunning for Blus1erry Magyot.

On Monday, Dec. 1, the opening
day of Congress. Representative
John e. Nelson of Maine appeared
before the subcommittee on agricul-
ture of the committee on appropria-
tions, and made an earnest plea for
an appropriation of $4,000 to be
used in fighting the insect pest that
now threatens the blueberry indus
try in Hancock and Washington
counties.
Congressman Nelson made care
full study of the situation last sum-
mer, and fortified himself with facts
and figures relative to the extent of
the industry and it's Importance to
the people OF" these two counties.
The merits of this desired appro-
priation are such that Congressman
Nelson is quite hopeful it will be
granted.

preceding year, to be expended and
used for advertising" it's natural re-
sources. advantages and attractions.
1t seems to me we may wisely con-
slider whether this prudent provision
does not offer the best avenue of ap-
proach to the publicity problem of our
State If each of our municipalities as
they awake to the Importance of this
opportunity for the healthy develop
ment of our state shall take up in
their several town meetings or city
government meetings the question of
appropriations for this purpose, every
community will come to be properly
and fully informed as to the advan-
tages which proper publicity offers for
the growth of our State. Those
municipalities that shall deem it wise
to cooperate in the creation of fund
to be used to this end will evidence by
their action that they are thoroughly
awake to the opportunities it presents
and this will guarantee that the Gus
toners will receive cordial treatment
in the several communities as they
arrive.
Mr. Tapley, the member of the
committee from Hancock county,
hopes soon, perhaps through the
Ellsworth board of trade, to hold a
get-together meeting in Ellsworth, to
which selectmen and some of the
prominent citizens of the towns of
the county will be invited. Some
State speaker will be present, the
hope now being to arrange it so that
Governor Brewster can be that

MRS. FLORENCE BOWDEN.

Mrs. Florence Bowden died Satur-

Boost Maine Campaign.

As is already pretty we'll known,
new impetus has been given to the
advertising of Maine by interest
shown by Gogernor-elect Brewster in
the project For several years the
Maine Publicity Bureau, by volun-
tary subscriptions has been putting
over an advertising campaign that
has brought encouraging results.
Mr.. Brewster's idea is not, as we
understand it, to take over the Pub
licity Bureaus work, but to supple
ment it by Statewide effort. At a
conference held recently in Augusta,
tentative plans were made to put
over an educational campaign to en-
list the support of the people
throughout the State in an advertis-
ing Maine campaign. A general
committee was appointed, with a
member in each county. o. w. Tap
ley of Ellsworth is the member from
Hancock county.
A liberal State appropriation Will
be asked for, but it is also hoped TO
encourage the cities and towns OF the
State to avail themselves Of the law
authorizing an appropriation not ex-
ceeding one mill on dollar for ad-
wertising purposes. On this point,
,Governor-elect Brewster said at the
Augusta meeting:
The legislature has wisely provided
that "any city or town may appropri-
ate any sum, not exceeding one mill on
