Maine and Florida


Lakeland (Fla.) Evening Ledger
Maine doesn't care how many of
her people come down here, invest
their capital, make money or buy
winter homes; and the Pine Tree
state is big enough, broad enough
and wise enough to recognize the
value of Florida to its4f and the
rest of the country and even goes so
far as to advertise Florida.
There is a community of interest
to be sure, between Florida and
Maine, both resort lands, which
isn't so apparent in the case of our
relations with other states that
might be named, yet Florida is
spending money in practically every
state that produces anything it wants
and needs, and there is to that ex-
tent a community of interest, al
though none but Maine has so boldly
land generously recognized it.
Beginning February Is Maine will
start a series of six advertisements,
each about half page, linking Maine
and Florida and praising both.
FLORIDA is indeed the land of
magic winters, Maine the land of
unsurpassed summers" is the text
of the first advertisement; FLORIDA,
the land of the swaying palm; Maine,
the land of the stately pine" says
the second; "These are The chosen
Fairgrounds of the nation. Hosts
| of people have learned to enjoy the
warm sunshine of Florida-the eX-
| hilarating, balsam- scented air of a
Maine summer" The third: 1.-The
nation has chosen Florida and Maine
Florida and Maine have been redis-
covered. The nation has at last come
to know the wonderful climates OF
these two states and their glorious
settings for joyous days of play
Florida in winter, Maine in summer
! What could be better prescription
for healthful, happy living!" The
final advertisement will say:
| 1T is an interesting fact that the
earliest settlements of the white man
| in America were founded in Florida
and Maine, almost simultaneous over
! 800 years ago. And now these two
! great states have together been re-
discovered, Florida of magic winters
J Maine of genial summers, are the
! nations chosen Fairgrounds"

ELECTRICAL WAR ON PESTS

Another use to which electricity
may be applied for the benefit OF
agriculture comes about by the in
vention of glass vacuum tube with
a window made of aluminium through
which rays from the electric dis
charge in the tube of 100000 volts
may radiate to the destruction OF In
sect pests. The death ray for bugs
rather than humans.
If this invention shall prove as ef-
fective, as it's sponsors declare 1t Will
be. it should serve powerfully to aid
man in his losing war with insect
battallons, ravaging his fields and
forests. 1t isn't quite clear to the
lay mind yet how the farmer may al
together discard his spraying outfits
and go to battle with the pests, car
rying 100000 electrical voltage like
a machine gun. But where there's a
will and beginning much may be
accomplished.

On Monday afternoon, the day be-
fore Candlemas day, it was reported
that ground hog had appeared at
City Park, Lewiston. An army of re-
porters, staff photographers and fea-
ture writer's rushed to that locality
and threw ring around the rockey
rink. Over the horizon came a lone
figure. 1t advanced with Afaltering
steps and approached the battery of
cameras. Then it was discovered
that the vernal visitor was Sausage"
the State Police dog. 1t was alleged
that Sausage would do in pinch,
since he probably is related to a
ground hog. Sausage couldn't see his
shadow, but that had nothing to do
with the case since he came out a day
early.
