Appreciates Milliken letter.
North Penobscot, March "a, 1924.
To the Editor of The American:
| was amused in reading that liter
airy gem in the last American-the
letter of Mr.. Milliken. Seldom do we
see so much satire and humor
blended. We think he has good
reasons to thank the good citizens OF
Surry for finding another martyr to
fill that soul-vexing office from which
he has been relieved-or saved from
possible suicide.
The road to happiness does not al
ways run through town Offices, but,
somehow, they seem to be necessary
tests of good citizenship. We hope
that the good old town of Surry. and
it's long favored and appreciative citi-
zen, will enjoy prolonged season of
mutual prosperity.

Ellsworth Hancock Highway.

I1dUCOCh, MARCH ~, / = +.
To the Editor of The American:
THAT sentiment in the town of
Hancock has also swung overwhelm-
ingly toward the new route is
damnably disappearing in the
Less than half dozen representative
citizens of this town are openly eX-
pressed on that side, and a part of
them are candidly against it only for
outside show. AS county paper, we
believe your stand should not have
somersaulted so soon. Yours should
be, the interests of all towns, and as
you imply, Mr. Browns correspond
ence is on new and broader lines of
consideration.
Now, if this new road is built, only
the first gross injustice is imposed on
Hancock, as a continuation of said
road will next meetghe Mckay cross
ing at North Hancock (under or
overhead crossing next to impossi-
ble) and a continuation of a new
road on the south or right-hand side
Of the track to a cut where an over
head crossing would be feasible, then
joining the old highway. This would
be No. 2 injustice. Then at Han
cock, the ''spendthrifts of the State"
would likely propose keeping to the
riverside to Waukeag, crossing those
farms, gullies, and sidehills, to justi-
fly the use of federal funds-the third
outrage on the people of the town,
that some, not too honest person has
given you to understand is over
whelmingly supporting.
The fourth injustice, the Hancock
Sullivan bridge, is now under con-
struction, and if No. one is pulled
off, are not Nos. two and three as
sure to come as light with sunrise?
Don't you think so? Shouldn't we
fight the octopus before it strangles
us?
A free gift! A dose of poison ad-
ministered to the agricultural inter
ests is more correct. This is what is
coming It's the town be damned
the county ditto. We at Augusta are
in the saddle
Yours truly,
c. B. Young.

Mr.. Stetson are all as clearly in the
right. If the commission is in the
right, then the opposite is true
Chairman C. s. Stetson and all of us
who are with him are in the wrong.
Before we take another step in
either direction, it appears all-impor-
tant that this vital question first be
answered, and that answer correct:
Who is themore important individual
with us. the farmer or the auto
tourist? If we could not have both,
and were brought to the point where
we must choose one and drop the
| other, which could we get along with
out the longest?
Now, while you are digesting this
mighty important question, and get
, ting ready to give the correct answer,
will crank up the commercial auto
truck, so to speak, throw in the
clutch, and start her along our COM
fnercial highway. And here l will
quote from The Literary Digest for
| March Is:
when a railroad. which is said to
have the largest gross earnings of any
| public carrier in the world, makes a
! radical change. the fact seems to the
Manufa oJurers' Record to be decidedly
worth noting. 1t seems that the
! Pennsylvania railroad has made con-
tract with a trucking concern to carry
package freight between Philadelphia
and Wilmington, Delaware. The dis
| lance between the two cities is about
| Twenty-Five miles
In the opinion of the management,
the public interest will be better served
by having package freight between in
termediate points in this territory
handled as far as practicable by motor
trucks instead Of by local freight
trains In putting the new arrange
ment into effect, the management be-
| lieves it is taking an important step
| forward in relieving railroad facilities,
so as to expedite the handling of long
| distance and heavy freight.
1T is believed, also that the arrange
ment constitutes a tangible advance in
| bringing about a practical co-ordina-
! ton of service and facilities between
motor ard rail- transportation. The
/ Manufacturers Record, expects to see
the example set at Philadelphia lmi-
tated elsewhere in the country
There is no need of an exceptional,
far-seeing vision into the future, to
be able to see that the Maine Central
railroad, by virtue of circumstances
! and conditions that now exist, will
be compelled to make some such ar
rangement at no very far-distant
! future When that takes place, with
the State highway removed two miles
from such an important station as
Washington Junction, you can clearly
see what an embarrassing condition
the Maine Central railroad will be UP
against, and, incidentally, the tax
payers of Hancock and Ellsworth.
Heavy trucks daily Except Sundays)

You might be surprised to know that the best thing you can use for severe cough, is remedy. which is easily prepared at home in just q few moments. It's cheap. but for prompt results it beats anything e SC you ever tried. Usually stops the ordinary cough or chest cold in "A hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children like it-and it is pure and good.
 Pour 21a ounces of Pinex Tn a pint bottle; then fill it up with plain grsAulated sugar syrup. Or use clari- fled molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. if desired. Thus you make full pint-a family supply-but costing no more than a small bottle of ready made cough syrup.
 And as a cough medicine, there is really nothing better to be had at any price. It goes right to the spot and gives quick, lasting relief. It promptly heals the inf1amed mem branes that line the throat and air passages, stops the annoying throat tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon your cough stops entirely. Splendid for bronchitis, croup, hoarseness ana bronchial asthma.
 PineX is a highly concentrated com [ pound of Norway pine extract, . famous for healing the membranes.
 To avoid disappointment ask your druggist for "21s ounces of Plnex" with directions and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give abso- lute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.

THE SPITE WOMAN
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

 A little child denied plaything Refused to eat-for spite; And the mother, worried with the
 dread Of the hunger that might come. Coaxed and Eleaded and finally gave
 the plaything. But the war was not ended in the
 heart of the wee one. Years passed, and the young woman That which was forbidden she did
 for spite, And seemed to gain. comfort in the F thought That she bad won. A lover came in the heyday of her
 youth And loved with love that was deep, Because he saw only the surface side
 of her that attracted And another came whose love was as
 the froth. And one day she married him to spite
 the other And thus lost the big chance for hap
 piness. And this unholy union was filled with
 constant strife And the man ran away To let her live her fitful life alone. Old and gray she grew-and summed, Unlovely and unloved. And when the Angel of the End
 entered There was none to bid her God-speed
 or close her eyelids And the memory of her was black as
 night. And the moral is this: Had the mother made her to feel the
 bangs of hunger When she refused food because of the
 plaything The tantrum would have spent itself And the lesson would have been
 learned. Had the humoring and coddling of
 her early days Been tempered with correction of her
 disdainful deeds She would have schooled herself to
 bear the ills That came without rancor and re-
 venge. But spare the sacrifice and spoil the
 soul And there is bred the Serpent of Spite Whose head is Selfishness.
