MAINE GOSSIP
Get the Maine Spirit

If you and I together would praise
Names woods,
And sing about its waters and shout
about its goods,
If we would buy Maine made clotn
and wear Maine made shoes,
There'd really be no reason for sad
Maine news.
If all of us united to praise Names
wonderful coast,
To praise our CLAIMS and lobsters, ana
even sometimes boast.
About Names luscious apples We
soon would get the rep
OF being full of action and loaded up
with pep.
If we would praise our products and
produce tim everywhere,
And choke Maine knockers and grab
'em by the hair,
And duck 'em in the ocean to wash
their knocks away,
Right soon we would uncover a new
Maine day.
If we would praise Maine, her sons
and daughters fair,
And talk about her colleges, her
schools and churches. where
She leads the minds of millions, the
world would shout Murray!
And celebrate Maine in verses, songs
and lay!
So let us praise each other, and buy
each others wares,
And fill our lives with sunshine and
smiles instead of glares,
And let us pull together land all unit
ed seek
To put the best place in the world
right on it's feet.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-P)-
Even legitimate whiskey shipments
cause so much trouble and expense to
railroads nowadays that the Inter.
state Commerce Commission held to-
day that extra rates for its transpor-
tation are justifiable.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
and other railroads which moved S3
carloads of whiskey to California
points from Kentucky during 1923 and
1924. were held to have been right in
collecting more than first class rates
from the shippers, A. E. Green and
Maurice Selig.
Every car of whiskey has n special
guard riding on it, the decision said.
and extra guards are provided at all
terminals and switching points.
