Example for kennebeeers


People Of the Androscoggin river
valley are rejoicing over the expendi-
ture Of 100000 now we'll under way
which will complete the full develop
ment Of the river and make it pos
sible to use every bit Of power the
water can produce. Adequate storage
facilities have been provided so the
power will be reliable and uniform
the year round. A very large amount
Of new power will result from this
work but all Indications are it will be
absorbed by existing and new indus
tries as soon as ready for their use.
This is expected to make that section
of the State one Of the most pros
porous.
There Is no good reason why the
same sort of work cannot be done for
the Kennebec river valley. There is
power at Bingham to be developed
that is the equal or superior of that
on the .Androscoggin. Conditions for
using this UP and down the river are
just as good as they are over on the
Androscoggin. Waterville can offer
just as many advantages to manufac-
turers as can Lewiston and Auburn
and other towns ON the Kennebec as

HOME, SWEET HOME,
THE ESSENTIAL

"What the youth of the country
need. is not more public control
through government but more home
control through parental action
sosPresident Coolidge told the 7. NJ.
c. A. international convention the
other day. We think he knew where-
of he spoke. Nestled among the YER
mont hills is an unpretentious story
and half house where the knowledge
was revealed to him. The revela'
ton is not dependent on the preten-
tiousness Of the home, but on the
atmosphere and that upon the par
ents. There is no equivalent for
for these and they may be found
in the humblest abode, "be 1t ever
so homely." This is not sentiment
alism but simple fact at which the
hardest boiled may not demur.
There, may be revealed affection,
mutual confidence, respect, self de-
NAL, self reliance, courage, loyalty
but why enumerate, at least to those
who have known a good home? A
sorry time, those will have. who seek
substitute.
mot more public control through
government" There's where the self
reliance learned in that little YER
mont home speaks its conviction.
There was where the mind was train
ed to perceive the insidious paralysis
that benumbs the victim of surrend-
cred manhood and womanhood;
those who shirk their responsibilities
on others, who look in alteration to a
government supposed to be their
servant and beseech it to be master.
America is America because Of the
plenitude of such homes. So long as
they predominant. whether among
the hills or on the far-reaching
plains, whether in mansions or in the
tenements, America will remain
America. So is it become a very i'm
portant question whether their pre-
dominance is to be maintained. The
government can best help in this by
scrupulously keeping hands off, but
the far-seeing, whether heads of gov
eminent or humble co-workers in the
ranks, can help and President Cool
idge Is an example of how this may
be done.

that the funds 20 obtained have not
been devoted to the construction and
maintenance Of the highways but 20

effort merits attention.
Il has been said that II this tax

Be the ones to profit from it. They
are now presenting their views to

much as can the towns over there.
The rivers and their valleys are much
alike in general characteristics and
what advantage there is probably
lies with the Kennebec because of the
superior natural storage in Moose
head lake.
Something is already being done to
increase the storage of the Kennebec
but much more will be needed be-
cause this river has never been de-
veloped as has the Androscoggin.
With all the possible storage and de-
velopment there is no reason why the
Kennebec should not be as much OF q
money producer as the Androscoggin.
II storage plans had not been blocked
Kennebec development. would be far
ahead of where it is today. There is,
however, plenty of time and oppor-
tuity and the work will doubtless be
done if capital is given a fair show
and not treated as a thief trying to
sneak in and steal something.

NEED REMEDY AS WELL AS
CONTROL

The League of Nations has been
prompt in calling a halt in the in
cipient war between Greece and
Bulgaria. Strictly 1t has no power
to enforce those demands but the
fact that representatives of the
powerful nations approve the atti-
tude of the League will not be lost
on the sensibilities of the small ma
tions engaged in starting a Balkan
uprising. OF course this affords lit
tie evidence that were these warning
peoples powerful in the worlds af-
fairs the League would do likewise
or II it did would find sufficiently
powerful support, more's the pity.
The League will not have lived in
vain IL 1t be instrumental as the
agent, not only for snuffing out the
beginning of Balkan conflagration,
but also in contributing to better
conditions there. From all that may
be learned Of the conditions prevail
ing there it il pretty evident that
unless they may be improved snuff
ing out this blaze will not remove
the combustibles. Century-old hat
reds between those peoples appear
as lively today as ever; injustices
are said to be rife; living conditions
in many instances intolerable; des-
peration waiting around the corner
to start something. 1t is very i'm
portant that something shall be done,
at least to get the humanitarian
side Of their difficulties as prom
inently to the fore as have been
their racial and religious prejudices.
Right now there is said to be great
suffering among refugees from
persecution, who see no glfmmering
Of hope for betterment Of their state.
Remedial agencies should accompany
power to control them.

Save Washington's
Boyhood Home

To the Editor.
Sir:
Why this rich and patriotic coun-
try allows Washington's boyhood
home to anguish in obscurity. Is a
cause for wonder. Especially now
when the approaching 200th an
niversary of Washington's birth
brings to the fore anything pertain
ing to the Father of His Country.
Last winter 1 found Washington's
boyhood home. pine Grove Farm"
on the Rappahannock River near
Fredericksburg, Va. George WASH
ington was taken there when only
about a years old, from his birth
place at Wakefield, Va. At Pine
Grove, Georges father died when
George was only IL. Mary Washing
ton lived there 80 years. There the
Washington children grew up.
George himself dwelt there till he
was about 10. For many years he
owned this Farm. the only Wash
ington property today still in private
hands.
Features of great interest at Pine
Grove are the pasture where George
killed his mothers sorrel colt; the
old ferryhouse still standing; the
original brick foundations Of the
Washington home; the spring where
George drank as a boy; the ancient
survey office where he studied for
Lord Fairfax's employ; the spot
where he threw the dollar across the
River; and most important of all, a
scion of the original and immortal
cherry tree. Enough of value, sure
ly, SO that any other civilized coun-
try would make such a place a ma
tional shrine!
J. B. Colbert. owner of the Farm
which he operates as dairy
claims that birds eat cherries from
his other trees, but never touch any
from the George Washington cherry
tree. AS a historical curio. this tree
surpasses almost anything / have
ever seen. The whole Farm is rich
in lore and "Reminiscences of WASH
ington. II lies on the famous Kings
Highway" leading from Washington
City to Wakefield, the. birthplace
The Centennial Committee is now
planning to make this highway a
60-foot concrete tourist route, to be
called the George Washington Me-
mortal Road. This road passes
directly through the Farm. Strange,
that nothing is done to preserve and
restore the Farm, itself! Cows and
pigs still wander free over acres
made sacred by intimate association

Who do you think, little Jack Rab-
bit Fans who read my stories in the
papers and in my books, as ended
Yesterdays story, came to the Nuttlng
picnic? Why, Professor Jim Grove.
Under his wing he carried his Wis
dom Book and on the end of his long
beak a pair of spectacles. Stopping
for a moment to watch the bunny
bows and rabbit girls fill their sacks
and baskets with the beech nuts
which the kind Ragged Rabbit Giant
had shaken from the tree, he suddenly
sawed:
"Wait a moment. l needs must look
At page 23 in my Wisdom Book.
Then opening it, he turned to page
Skidoo and read aloud;
Farmers fatten their pigs in the
autumn by turning them into the
woods. Beech nuts are the very best
food for pigs. Beech nut bacon is
highly priced, and the pig that feeds
on these nuts is worth more than n
pig who eats only corn
"Ha, ha," laughed Little Jack Rab-
bit, ION the way home will stop
at the farmyard and tell the Kind
Farmer to bring his pigs up here"
Better leave a few-on the ground,
advised the wise old crow. Don't
make him a lot of trouble for
nothing" Then away flew the pro-
lessor bird, after closing his Wisdom
Book with a bang and his spectacle
case with a clap and his long black
beak with snipperty snap.
BY and by when all the. sacks and
bags were filed, the little rabbits
started to hop back to the old ferry :
boat. But, isn't it strange. They had
gone but few hops, maybe a dozen
or two, when back came Professor
Jim Crow. "Wait a minute" he
cawed, Il must read you something
more. A little knowledge every day
will make you wise when you are
gray" and again opening his Wisdom
Book, he waited until all the little
rabbits girls and bunny boys were
quietly seated on the grass. Then
turning to page "a. he began.

the acorns from an oak tree have
found them very bitter. But the nuts
