Detroit Man Is
Speaker, Regular
Meeting Lions Club

Horatio Earle of Detroit. Mich
president OF the North WAYNE Tool
Co, was the speaker at the reruIar
Ineeting and of the Waterville Lions
cIun at the Elmwood Hotel last even
ing and he gave the members some
SOUND. home-spun philosophy as only
one VINO had been born and raised
IN the hills Of Vermont could give it.
10 uo aim the greatest pleasure in life
ne said he pitied from the bottom or
MS heart the man who is out for the
dough" alone.
A native of Plymouth, Vermont.
the speaker said he had known for
years the Coolidge family and while
student at Black River Academy
ne was the roommate of the present
governor Stickney of Vermont. In
this connection he commented on the
simplicity and small expenditure
with which he went through school.
compared with the costs of today and
he called the attention Of his hear.
ers to the case with which house,
wives live in this generation in com.
parison to those Of a half century
ago.
Mr.. Earle characterized himself as
human alarm clock. one whose
pleasure it was to awaken men to a
full realization of their capabilities.
He declared himself the bitter enemy
of knocking and finding fault and he
said that it lay within the power of
the people Of a community to make
1t what they wished sit to be.
Drawing an analogy to a horse he
urged his hearers to lean in a for
ward direction, pulling at the collar
of the harness rather than. at the
britchen.
Turning to the affairs Of the State
Mr.. Earle said that as he had money
investigated within its borders he
had the right to find bit of fault
and he averred that the people of
Maine stopped in their search for
prosperity as soon as the tourist
business came along. He believed
that Maine lacks the pep" of the
Central West and he urged in no un-
certain terms that Maine business
men bring to the State industries
which would provide payrolls every
week in the year. With the water
power and fine seaport facilities
which the State has, he said, the in
dustrial life should be far greater
than it now is.
