Whether seventy or sixteen, there is

the undaunted challenge of events, the
unfailing child-like appetite for what

You are as young as your faith as
old as your doubt; as young as your
self confidence, as old as your fear; as

it receives messages of beauty, hope,
cheer, grandeur, courage and power
from the earth, from men and from

BOOMING MAINE.
Summary of Report by Secretary Coo
of Maine Publicity Bureau.

The people of Hancock county, and
Ellsworth in particular, should be
much interested in the report
made by Secretary Coe, of the
Maine Publicity Bureau, at the an
nual meeting in Portland, recently
Mr.. Coe reports that during July
and August, more than 10000 peo-
ple were served, directly and indl-
rectly, by the Bureau. During those
months, 26,5O7 people called at the
Bureau headquarters for informa-
ton.
AS a result of the advertising, paid
for by the Maine Development AS
ISOLATION, the State Bureau received,
during the summer, 1921 letters
asking for information about the
State of Maine. The treasurer's re-
port showed total receipts for the
year $36,563O5 These receipts
were from subscriptions by private
individuals and corporations to the
Maine Publicity Bureau.
The Maine Development Associa-
ton, which is the duly authorized as
ISOLATION handling the funds sub
scribed by the State, and by the diff
ferent towns in the State, collected
sum larger than this.
The Maine advertising campaign
had it's start in the Maine publicity
Bureau. It was through the far
sightedness of Hon. Hiram W..
Kicker of South Poland that the
Bureau was brought into existence.
In Mr.. Ricker's travels over the
country, he had seen the necessity or
advertising the State of Name, or
in other words, of selling the State
of Maine ito the public, and he con-
ceiyed the idea of organizing cam
paign for that purpose. AS result,
the Bureau was organized, and did
such splendid work that the state
legislature became interested ana
passed a law whereby the towns
were authorized to advertise, and
also appropriated. $4,000 for the
State. The money appropriated Tor
the State and the different towns IS
used exclusively for newspaper and
magazine advertising, while the
money contributed ITO the Maine PUB
licity Bureau takes care or all the
expenses connected with the dlller-
ent organizations and maintains the
Bureau headquarters in Portland.
Last May, Philip Kicker Shorey
was made publicity director for tine
Maine Associates. AS a result OF MI
Shoreys work, free newspaper pun
licitv was obtained, up to December
81, having an advertising value OF
$4,000. In addition to this, MT.
Shorey was able to get twenty or
more moving pictures on Maine SUB
iects filmed by Pathe, Fox, and other
national news reel corporations
each one of which was seen by over
twenty million people. Mr.. Shorey
has also written large number OF
illustrated magazine articles on
Maine which have been publlshed
throughout America.
The field secretary, l.. c. Minor
who has also had a very lively year.
and the general secretary, have been
busy broadcasting stories on Maine
from various radio stations, and de-
livering public addresses IN Maine
and elsewhere on Maine. MI
Shorey has also been speaking on
Maine with excellent success.
It was brought out in the report
that the Bureaus subscribers ranged
through thirty-five different lines OF
business activities, and that out OF
the total of $50 subscribers, 10
represented hotels, and tWenty-sX
garages.

CORRESPONDENCE.

"A COffcCtlOu.
Flye Point, Me-, Jan. %, 1925.
To the Editor of the American:
A few weeks ago l saw in the
Mutual Benefit column, letter from
lady in Florida, which contained
the statement that Tampa was the
biggest city in Florida. Now, think
that was a mistake. Jacksonville,
over fifteen years ago, had greater
population than Tampa to-day
Jacksonville must have mighty near
100000 inhabitants at present,
while Tampa has trifie over half
of that.
1.-THE census of 1920, the last
figures available, give the population
of Jacksonville as 91,55S, and that
of Tampa as 5 ,60S.-Ed.]

YOUTH.

Youth is not a time of life-it is a

ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees;
it is a temper of the will, quality OF
the imagination, a vigor of the emo
lions: it is a freshness of the deep
springs of life.
Youth means temperamental pre-
dominance of courage over tihhuity'
of the appetite of adventure over love
of ease. This often exists in man OF
fifty, more than in boy or twenty
