DUNNACK MAKES
ABLE SPEECH AT
GARDINER MONDAY

State Librarian Henry e. Dunnack
of Augusta delivered a scholarly adj
dress on "The Economic Re-birth of
Maine" before small but enthusiasts
tic gathering at the City Council
rooms last evening. The affair was
under the auspices of the Boom
Brewster Club which has been re-
Gently organized here. and Judge
Harold e. Cook, president of the or
ganization, presided and introduced
the speaker.
Rev. Mr.. Dunnack pointed out that
Maine is concerned with three econ
omic periods: :.
The first comprises the SO years be-
tween 1890 and 1870. In this period
Names increase in population was
greater than that of any other Of the
New England states. Her growth in
agriculture. manufacture, numbering,
snlpou1lding and fisheries kept pace
with the rgowth in population.
The second period commenced in
1910 and continued until about 1915.
In this period the population of Maine
dropped from three per cent of the
total population of the United States
to eight-tenths of one per cent of the
: population in 1910. The speaker en-
phasized the idea that during this pc
Rod Maine lacked the conditions that
would have made possible any large
economic development.
From the earliest times until about
100 years ago the work of the world
was done by either human muscle
animal muscle, or by the pressure of
wind or the weight of falling water
the speaker pointed out.
About 1910 came the DEVELOPMENT
! of the steam engine. made possible by
| the mining of coal and it's increa sing
use as fuel. the development Of the
iron industry and railroads. Maine
| lacked ell Of these resources.
The third economic period we ave
| entering at the present time. The
| reasons for the change are:
First--The development Of hydro
electric power gives Maine a new
economic opportunity.
| Second-Agricultur The most
significant world fact OF the present
| day is that in the last 70 years pop-
'1lation has doubled and very like'v
| it will double again in the next SC
wears. The use Of electric power on
the farm diversified farming, coop
| erative marketing. improved trans
portation IA cilities. better financing
together with adjustment Of rrlrnl life

schools, necessary medical service

Carleton Players
In Final Appearance

For their last Monday night per-
Torrance in Gardiner this season the
Henry Carleton Players presented
the three act comedy "Cappy Kicks.
Their last appearance was as enjoy
able as their first and previous ones,
and there was much comedy in the
play. Alden p, or Cappy Kicks, the
man who could not be beat in the
shipping game or any other game
was played by Henry Carleton who
portrayed this lovable old character
to perfection. Florence Kicks was
played by Miss Peggy Martin in her
usual capable manner.
Ellen Murray is played by Miss
Vivian Mayo, and Aunt Luck Ricksy
by Miss Sara Kyles. Arthur Hebert
takes the part of John Skinner and
Cecil Pericles Bernard is played by
Jack Kearney. Richard Lloyd is up
to his usual high standard in the
role Of Captain Matt Peasley.
Gardiner is sorry to lose the Henry
Carleton Players. and local audiences
will have their last chance to see
them in their popular plays tonight
when "Cappy Kicks" will be repeated.
Reservations for seats may be made
by calling Gardiner 120.

The third important reason for the
economic revival in Maine is the OPP
portunity for development of our
wood industry. The advance of sci
ence and industrial education and the
extent of her forests and the far
sighted policy of Maine timber own
ers points the way to the new de-
yelopment.
The fourth reason for belief in a
new day for Maine is her value as a
recreational home. Her tempera ture,
rainfall, river systems, and lake area,
together with her unrivalled scenery
and rapidly developing good roads in
vites all the nation TO visit her sea-
shore, valleys and mountains. Here
the sportsman finds game fish in
summer, and in winter the very best
opportunities for every out door
sport Tomorrow. the automobile,
the electrically-drive railroad and
the aeroplane will place Maine in the
heart of America.

Collapsible Seeding Box

With the use of the seeding box
shown in the drawing, transplanting
to the garden can be done without any
interruption to the growth of the seed
lings This box consists Of wooden
frame, as shown in the detail, with
stationary and removable nails driven
through the sides to hold q number
of boards set with edges together to
form V-shaped troughs. The troughs
are filed with earth in which the seeds
are planted and spaced the same dis
lance apart as they are to be in the
garden. The box is then set in place
having the correct temperature for the
growth Of the plants. When it is time
to transfer them, burrows are dug to
receive the earth and plants contained
in the troughs. The box is then set
over the rows and the removable nails
pulled out. When the frame is lifted,
the boards swing away and the seed
tings are neatly deposited in rows.
Thus several short rows can be planted

Shallow water and quantities of
rubbish that made the operation of a
crew-propelled boat impractical did
not defeat California rancher when
he decided to use the Colorado river
to haul his produce to market twenty
miles from his farm. He built a fat
bottomed, barge-shaped boat, fifty-6ve
feet long, with a beam of nine feet,
and at the stern mounted a ninety
horsepower airplane motor and eight
foot propeller to drive the craft. The
steering problem was surmounted by
placing the engine assembly on a pivot
with two pneumatic tires to support
the weight of the fuselage and the fuel
tank of fifty gallons capacity. The
boat is guided by simply turning the
engine and propeller with a steering
wheel operated by the pilot who COM
mands an unobstructed view of the
river from bis seat and is protected
