BY Indians ages ago,
BY speeding tourists tonight,
That queenly Interchangeable moon
Takes worship for heavenly light.
Art, beauty of color and form,
Is the moon on Massachusetts,.
For pure inspiration and thrill!
View the moon on the Massachusetts.

One year ago mill owners, farmers
and others were experiencing long
period of drouth and forest fires were
proving alarming in many sections of
the State. 1t will be recalled that the
fall rains last year were light and
that as a result the ground froze long
before the brooks and streams were
filled causing more or less Of water
shortage in many parts of Maine. This
year there has been more rain, fewer
forest fires and the supply of water
will be sufficient to keep the wheels of
industry moving and to supply the
wants Of the farmers and others

40 years or more, will be keenly in

Aroostook may not be even now
"the land Of corn and wine" but it
Is right now the land of potatoes
and money; and money will buy
corn and would wine II there were
any around to be bought. An Aroos-
took farmer a few days ago found
that one corner of his potato field,
being very low ground. too wet to
dig by machinery, and didn't produce
very well right there anyway. So
this farmer and one Of his hired
men took the part of one day to dig
this corner by hand. They thought
they might not get enough out of 1t
to be worth much, potatoes there be-
ing rather poor as well as scarce.
Well, they dug and picked them UP,
and sold the good ones for 500 and
the poor ones for $3.50. over 800 for
this worthless little corner. Another
case may be mentioned. A Fort
Fairfield working man and his wife
got the privilege of picking up and
owning whatever potatoes were left
on certain field of one of our farm
ers. Well, it was not more than
few days before that man and his
wife, by a little careful hunting
around over the field during odd
times, had secured $50 worth Of po-
tatoes.-Review.
