Well, now that l have found this
wonderful cap and have placed it on

the very moment when Little Jack
Rabbit asked Chippy Chipmunk:
How did YOU dig hole without
leaving any dirt at the entrance"'
Yes. that's where we left off in the
last story.

took me almost week TO make it

with two connecting store-rooms.
''Whew." exclaimed the bunny boy.
II didn't know YOU had such big

We'll. that isn't ALL" answered the
little chipmunk, with a wink. Next
made another tunnel straight up

the first one. until, by and by. it came
out on the other side of the tree"

onto his present farm in West Bath,
where he has been more than so
years. For years he was ship
carpenter in the Percy & Small
yard in Bath. also in the Deering
yard. In his younger days he
travelled much. He was on the
Pacific coast during the Civil War.
Because he loved the out of doors
and was an expert gunner and
fisherman he was appointed warden
for Winnegance creek. That was in
the days when the creek was
covered with many special laws
pertaining to bass fishing and there
had been a great deai-of poaching.
In company with the late James
"Tige" Bailey. once marshal of Bath,
he put in many long hours en-
forcing the law at this body of
water. The fishing was always hest
on stormy nights in the Winter.
after the creek was covered with
ice and it was on such nights that
the wardens had to be unusually
alert and it was a tough Job. They
seized annually hundreds of dollars
worth of nets being used illegally
and they were always cut up which
made it mighty discouraging for the
poachers. Mr.. Bates lives alone
with his dog. Jack. his constant
companion and where you see one
make sure the other is handy. He
owned most the shore property at
Sabine, a Summer resort, and even
, after selling most of it still owns
considerable land there and in the
vicinity. He has watched with in
terest the growth Of the summer
business on the New Meadows and
1t was on some of his property that
the first cottages on the river
were built and he feels sure that
the river is still increasing in
popularity. Last Summer he gave
the Sabine Improvement association
fine plot of land at the junction
Of two roads and was on hand
when the hall erected there was
christened and danced a iig.

Editorial Comment
Might Be Of Value


Commenting on the decision Of the
Maine Law court Teaffirming the
rights of the owner of n mill priv
ilege to flow a great pond by the
erection of dam for the purpose of
business development. The Boston
Transcript suggests that it might be
well for Maine folks. in the interests
of the development of summer bust
ness to devise legal means for ex-
empting from the provisions of the
Mill act waters on which the build
ing of dams would be of little indus
trial value and where summer resort
development would bring large re-
turns. This is fair enough and such
action doubtless would be of value in
assuring cottagers that their cottages
would not he flooded out in the flu
ture. but the court decision and
whatever development will follow
will not result in any dearth of at
tractive locations for summer cot
tages. Maine is very rich in such To-
cations, all along its coast and on
many inland waters.

"HE days of marvels are indeed not
gone but are, on the very contrary,
with us now and in their full
bloom. We look back with wonder and
awe at the transformation wrought in
the world during the last few years, trans
formation so thorough and so bewilder-
ingly unexpected that one rubs his eyes
in establishment at that which took place
right under his very eyes.
One of the marvels of this last decade
one of the agreeable and indeed most
pleasurab1e results Of the postwar de-
velopment is the town of Tel-Aviv, stu
ated in the environs of Jaffa, Palestine
or the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
Ii is the first municipality built by Jews,
inhabited by Jews and governed exclu-
sively by Jewish officials, from the Mayor
down to the town policemen, of whom
there are forty on the force.
Oriental towns, howsoever big they may
become in the course of time, of whatever
Importance they may assume for their
ration or the role they'd play in the his
tory of the world at large-Nineveh, Jeru-
salem, Babylon ct al.-usually were devoid
of all plan or any definite scheming in
their arrangement. They 'jes' growed
up like Topsy, sprawling over the face
o" the earth without any plan, previous
arrangement or scheme. In the most
celebrated and historically rich of them
you will find yourself, the very moment
that you enter them, surrounded by q
maze of crooked alleys, closely woven
mesh of narrow streets and bewiIdering
passageways. Not so, however, Tel-Aviv,
a modern European town of the latest and
most approved style placed in the very
midst of Asia, choice bit Of Europe at
its best dropped into the very heart of
the Orient.
In a sense Tel-Aviv is like Western
boom town of the days of the gold rush
and the land grants. 1t, also, was created
overnight, as it were. A bare few years
ago 1t was not yet on the map and the
land that it now occupies was nothing
but sand dunes and waste and now it has
been transformed into commodious and
