My friend, Casper, has a friend who
has solved the problem of being a
| farmer all the year round and living
in a good climate all the time. And
here's how he does it:
He has 80 acres in Maine which he
| plants to potatoes and always raises
big crop. He ships that whole crop
| to Florida, where he has another so
| acres. And he sells his potatoes to
! Florida farmers for seed, all but what
4 ha dc fN T.; In
! spring he reverSes the process. It's a
cinch, and his life has no monotony.
And if you don't believe il you can
write to him. His name is George V.
! Brown, and he lives in Caribou, Me-
| Ted Robinson. in Cleveland Plain
, Dealer.
| E. J. Roche, clerk of the Lewiston
! poor department, in a report of his
! stewardship just issued declares:
THE only increases in the poor de-
| partment are for the hospitals and or
| phan children. This increase from
| 1914, 1915 and 1916 Is made by Law.
| Now If the Maher bill is not defeated
We will pay $4,000 for hospitals and
| orphan children instead of $4,000 or
an increase of taxes from n to IL
mills. One thing I want everybody
| to understand is that Lewiston pays
more for little children than any city
| in the State, outside of Portland
We pay more than any FIVE cities COM
bined in the State. Lewiston pays
| $14.500 for orphan children. We also
collect back more money from the
State than any city in Maine, and five
times as much as any five cities in
Maine combined outside of Portland"
