Perhaps a good number OF Maine
farmers will take exception to the
statement of the Boston Sunday
Advertiser in a dispatch from Port
land, relating to the coming refer
endum election in the State, Dec. Z,
that 1.-The rural sections, which have
been much opposed to the daylight
plan. have found that 1t matters lit
tie to them whether the cities have
the fast time. For that reason 1t is
believed that the smaller towns Will
not object to the cities continuing
their Summer time and will not
strenuously oppose the new time
which has found great factor in the
larger cities and towns"
The Rt. Rev. William Lawrence,
STD, LID, bishop Of Massa-
chusetts, was the special speaker at

UP at Rear Pond Park with the
Rotarians, we were passing pile Of
logs, old trees cut down for dreWood.
Eben Harlow, proprietor of the
place, suddenly stopped as good
woodsmen frequently do in the
woods and began to cock his ear in
listening attitude. Hear that?"
asked he. Hear what?" asked we:
THAT worm gnawing the inside OF
that log. Hear him? Isn't he busy.
Some worker that bug" A sharp
continuous rasping sound came from
the interior of the log. At the foot
of the aperture where he was work
ing was a pile of chips at least three
inches high. That's industry" was
the remark of each Of US. What
power in a tiny, insect! 1t is said
that if man could leap as far for
each unit of weight as can the flea,
he would easily leap across the At
lantic Ocean and land in Liverpool.
If we could crush objects without
mandibles or teeth as does the little
bug in the log, nothing could with
stand us.-Lewiston Journal
Bath Rotarians had the pleasure
the other day of listening to Jerome
E. Anderson, president Of the West
Palm Beach (F'la.) Rotary Club. He
told Of the big real estate boom in
Florida. saying that he could not tell
how much longer the boom would
last. He realized however that peo-
pie were going to Florida in larger
numbers than ever which he believed
due to it's remarkable climate
especially in Winter, and Its fertile
soil. Mention was made by him of
the great size of the State with only
per cent under cultivation so
growth. He touched upon the
section now going on in his part of
made by dredging a deeper outlet
to the sea for making the harbor Of
West Palm Beach a port of entry.
The new Jacksonville highway
bridge was mentioned apropos Of the
agitation for the Kennebec Bridge
at Bath, where he has seen the delay
by automobiles in getting across.
The people of Florida were skeptical
of bridging the ST John river at
Jacksonville but at last voted the
money for toll bridge as is pro-
posed here. Bonds were issued with
a view of cancelling them by
revenue from tolls in Is years, but
the traffic has so increased that it
looks now as If it will be paid for in
five years. He predicted that the
Kennebec Bridge would pay for
itself similarly in a few years with
out being any burden to taxpayers.
