Clarke will play no small part IN

He has instilled into them some
thing of the spirit of another age.

the Pittsburgh Pirates struck their
real stride after Fred Clarke had

But it should be a great series.
Perhaps those old timers shak-

series as thrilling, as exciting and
as hard fought as the one last

A year ago of a@late afternoon
In early October, Earl McNeely,
youthful and untried, came to bat
in the twelfth inning of world

past third base to bring another
classic to frenzied conclusion.
Few world series have been SO
exciting as that one; few have
witnessed so climatic a finish.
And when it was over the first
frenzy of triumphant Washington

membrance, old time baseball men
shook their heads, doubtfully.

Well, Little Reader, here we are
again, you and j, making believe we
are in Rabbitland. Didn't we hear
Jimmy Jay talk in poetry in the last
story? OF course we did. as sure as
bills come on the first of the month
and mosquitoes bite. And the little
rabbit, our dear little bunny boy, was
holding q conversation with this
handsome, mischievous bluejay, who
was complaining because some one
had made disagreeable remarks about
him.
But have you bad habits?" asked
Little Jack Rabbit. wondering how so
beautiful bird could be anything but
a good feathered citizen.
"Well, / may have eaten couple
or more birds eggs last spring" he
admitted. but I've saved many a life
by warning people of coming danger.
Even il my bright eyes have discov-
cred a few we'll hidden eggs, they
have also spied Danny Fox sneaking
about. have warned the Shady For
est people many time that this old
rohber was near at hand"
But you haven't told ME who made
the disagreeable remarks about you,
went on the curious little bunny.
"The Farmer, OF course" snapped
Jimmy Jay. "He said that my cousin.
Professor Jim Crow, and l were
couple of robbers"
Dear. Oh dear" sighed the little
bunny. What dreadful thing to say.
Is it truc?"
perhaps answered Jimmy jay,
hanging his head. I'm mighty fond
OF fresh eggs. but if careless lady

their nests. I'm not to blame
Don't YOU do any good deeds?

ny, shocked at Jimmy Jays admis-
sion of guilt.

some little blue jay. MY cousins,

But why the Farmer at this time of
the year. when there are no nests

dreadful remarks about me is beyond
my understanding"

ON ELECTRICAL DEVELOP.
MENT

Those in attendance on the State
Grange convention in Bangor were af-
forded, yesterday. an able presenta-
ton Of the reasons on which those
undertaking the development Of
hydro-electric energy in this State
base their plea for repeal of the law
I. that forbids the sale of electrical
power outside the State limits.
President Wyman Of the New
England Public Service Company,
himself member Of the Grange
and interested in the development Of
2 agriculture as well as Of electricity.
declared 1t his opinion that more
than fifty million dollars would be
spent in Maine for development of
electricity within a very few years
il this prohibition were removed. He
argued that If we neglect this OPP
portunity to sell power outside such
power will be obtained elsewhere and
Maine will lose its market.
"A feature Of especial interest to his
audience was the suggestion OF an
: act of the Legislature under which,
subject to the Public Utilities Com
mission, lines constructed to supply
rural sections with electricity should
not be subject to taxation, thus re-
ducing the cost to the rural con-
sumner. II this could be done Mr..
Wyman assured them such cost
!, might be educed one fifth and
several hundred miles of service lines
would be built within the next year
) or two.
This may give rise to a query In
some minds, whether the State might
not likewise afford the railroads en-
couragement TO electrify their lines
in Maine. If this should be found
feasible so would be provided a home
demand for dro-electrical energy
that would seem to warrant a con-
! siderable part of the needed develop
ment and might result in lower
transportation costs. of which Maine
stands in great need,

CONSERVATION OF CHRISTMAS
GREENS

The talk there has been against
stripping the land of Christmas trees
now includes warning against
prodigality with our Christmas
greens. The president of the Ma
tional Wild Flower Association de-
c1ares the latter to be a real prob
lem.
She says: Eve must apply strict
conservation in various directions,
self-denial and the use of substitutes
in others. She concludes that much
of that which has been said respect
ing depicting forests by the use of
Christmas trees is largely unwar-
ranted". that IL these are cut out
properly the others may grow to ad-
vantage, but she insists that ground
pine Is disappearing very rapidly;
that mountain laurel IL very plenti-
full in parts Of the country. in some
places being regarded as pest. and
there can be little harm in its COM
n5ercial use. She deems it necessary
that the growing of holly should be
encouraged and explains processes
by which foliage for decorative pur-
poses may be artificially preserved.
= In respect to Christmas green's as
well as to many other OF our re-
sources we need not come to de-
privation If We are sensible. but to
arrive in any considerable numbers
at such conclusion 1t seems neces-
sary to have some organized effort to
educate the public in ways Of true
conservation.
