REGARDING IMMIGRATION

Employers Of labor are quick to
note the effect Of the immigration
law. 1t is said that already in some
lines there is scarcity Of labor. The
National Industrial Conference
Board reports the results of recent
examination of immigration statis-
tics over the period Of the first ten
months under the operation of the
go quota law. 1t finds that more
common laborers left the United
States than were admitted during
that period. In other words 16,S42
more left than came in.
The Board does not attempt to es-
innate the ultimate effect Of the new
immigration law but finds that the
scaling down of immigration about
one fifth what it was before the war.
has the immediate effect of stabiliz-
Ing the growth Of our population
with the attending result Of a sus-
tanned high wage level" Actual
money wages in industry, it declares.
average 1850 above what they were
before the war and everything con-
sidered the wage Garner today is
about 5000 better off.

Former Judge Lauren M. Sanborn.
of the Cumberland Superior Court,
who has his own ideas about the i'm
portance of jury duty on the part Of
all good citizens, was rather reluctant
to excuse men from this service un-
less they had mighty good excuses.
The other day in a chat with him he
told the Portland Express Stroller a

Prof. Calvin M. Clark and his son.
Rev. Cornelius E. Clark, left Bangor
last week for New York. They will
sail on the gath on the Mauretania as
conductor and assistant Of a party OF
about 80 college students, mostly
from Smith and Wellesley on Euro
pean tour, under the direction of the
Bureau of University Travel Landing
at Plymouth, The itinerary takes In
the English and Scottish lake regions,
a week in London, then a week In
Paris, thence to Lucerne and other
points in Switzerland, then to Italy,
visiting Milan, Venice, Rome and to
Naples from which the party will
sail for home on the Tuscania, due In
New York, Sept. 3. The main object
of the tour will be the study of CATH
edrals and art galleries. Prof. Clark
will give lectures on the various
places and points of interest which

State Highway Commissioner.
Charles H. Inpes Of Saco, in looking
up records at the state Office Of the
commission to try to help Biddeford
in the improvement of the Pool road,
learned that the sum Of $2,3S9.40 was
appropriated in 1921 for the Pool
road, with the condition that the city
appropriate $2,397.00 for the work.
The records show that the city never
appropriated the amount required.
and did not take advantage OF the
state funds. This money Is still
available for the work, if the city sees
fit to make it's appropriation, and will
make $4,7S6.40 available for the work
on the road this year in addition to
the money already set aside by the
city and state for the road improve
ment. Mayor Drapeau has been noti-
fed by Commissioner Innes and it is
likely that some action will be taken
at the next council meeting so that
the city can take advantage Of the
money now to its credit on the books
of the state department.

The Church on the Hill

The Church on the Hill
o. little village, nesting down
Beside the smiling lake
Along whose shores, in chorus sweet,
The birds their music make,
Although the work and play of life
The passing days may fill,
Forget not in these busy days
The church upon the hill.
For while the years have fed away,
And men have come and gone,
With light that cannot hidden be
The old church still lives on.
A message grand 1t has for all
Who know life's stress and strain
The message of the Christ who came
To make men whole again:
The message of living God.
The Source of all that's good
The message Of the Fathers love,
And human brotherhood.
And SO each Sabbath morn the bell
Sends forth it's summons STILL
o, busy men, do not forget
The church upon the hill.
