Let us laugh in bleak November
AS we do in the sunny May;
And always we must remember
To wear smiles on rainy DAY.
Striving, climbing, ever trying
To keep faith when we seem mlreo'
Hoping, dreaming ever reaching
Forward, upward, never tired.
For the hardest Of conditions
The one who wins will have to race
And the height Of great perlectioms
Are only reached by men or grace
Let's be merry and keep cheerful
Even though the world looks dreary;
" And a our ii life won't be so weary.

Bath Times:-According to reports
looming from Pressure Isle 1t is pos
\ sible that the price of Aroostook
county potatoes may go to seven
dollars per barrel this season, que
to the fact that the potato crop OF
the country is light and the demand
{ big. This is some different from
conditions which prevailed a year ago
when potatoes could be bought there
for almost anything person would
offer. 1t means that the Aroostook
farmers will have chance to make
up for some of the great loses wnich
tfhey experienced in 1924.
