tonians who still remember the
exploit of Ajax. the Sword
SwalloweF, who, as circus
freak, was once invited to do
his stuff before gathering of

promptly walked out on his

Ajax told Miss Swanson the
story OF how he appeared before

suggestion would have completely
ruined his act. Nevertheless,
when he discovered that the star
was greatly interested in his art,
he told Miss Swanson that the
whole thing had started out &C.

to a circus when he was IL years

A GOOD MEETING

That was q good meeting here
yesterday Of those who have Coop
Grated in the various efforts for bet
ter Maine publicity. An optimistic
spirit characterized the talk and all
the proceedings.
It was q helpful, an encouraging
meeting. It served to emphasize the
real advantages which already have
been secured. and these have been
many. A great deal Of really pro-
ductive endeavor has been made in
this State during the past two years.
Maine people should recognize that
very important fact and cooperate
with it.
The year ahead of us is one of un-
usual promise of results from seed
already sown, Of inviting opportu-
nifty further to cultivate fields wait
ing to be cultivated. More people
than ever before are looking to
Maine. They should see Maine peo-
pie thoroughly aroused, appreciative
Of the talents entrusted to them and
making good use Of them. We
must go ahead with the Job; a
worthwhile undertaking it is, and a
pleasant one withal-but 1t needs
more than words. That need will be
met; Maine doesn't turn back.

Editors Letter Box
Carried to Extremes

Varied to Extremes
To the Editor of
the kennebec Journal:
Through the columns of your val
liable paper l wish to appeal to the
trappers OF Maine to unite in circu-
lating etitions to be presented to the
Legislature of 1927, to repeal the ex-
listing license trapping law as apply
ing to Incorporated towns. or to
radically amend the same as to
eliminate the injustice that now
characterizes its provisions.
I believe that the money received
through this law is being largely
used in the employment of wardeus
who act more from personal finan-
cial motive than from sincerity in
having the law obeyed and legiti-
mate trapperS protected.
The injustice of this law Is well
demonstrated in the case of Lewis
Marsh of Parkman a youth of the
age of seventeen years. the son OF
poor parents, who was hailed into
court in this county. and compelled
to pay a fine of $1,000 for the
atrocious offense of having set two
traps unmarked, for skunks, in his
fathers orchard.
The trappers of Maine are 5000
farmers and farmers boys, and / ap-
peal to the Grange, that noble
organization of men and women,
whose first words are fair play. TO
unite in the repeal of the existing
law-not however applying to beaver
so that the youth of this State will
have the right to set a few traps
around the home farm and on
neighboring brooks. marked or I'M
marked, without being taken into
court and mulcted of hard earned
money. Notwithstanding the wide
flung slogan of Stay on the Farm
Boys"
If the existing law is carried to
more extreme limits, as understand
is now in contemplation by the
Powers That Be, and hunting for
bearing animals with dogs, becomes
included in this license category, 1t
would seem that the God given ma
ture of sport of trapping in this
State will soon be tale that was
told.

the log was slowly floating. She
reasoned that by the time the log

might crawl out. Then she could

catch him as he sat shivering on the
old log. Dear, Oh dear. hope some
thing nice will happen mighty quick.
"Help! Help!" once more shouted
the old crow, and as II in answer to
his call, Busy Beaver made his ap-
pearance. In fact. he had been
watching all the while. just biding
his time until the proper moment
came. From the very first, when he
had dived into the pond at the old
crows warning, he had hidden in a

scarcely stood above the high water,

And when Mrs. Wildcat gave the
hollow log the last push that landed

GRATIFYING REPORTS

The annual report of the Secre-
tary of Commerce reveals a high
level Of prosperity in this country.
The Presidents message to Con-
gress reveals an executive whose
head Is not turned by the pros
perity.
The country over the returns are
very encouraging. 1t Is possible
that business this year will attain a
new high record. This does not
mean that all localities share equal
ly in this. There Is the money spent
for new automobiles, which are
manufactured in q few localities,
taken out of other localities, and not
all finding its way back to the
origin. Nevertheless a share, II not
equal, is to be had by us all out or
general prosperity. No locality lives
unto itself nor derives revenue SOLE
ly from itself. We are all gratified
with the good news which Mr..
Hoover summarizes for us, also with
later reports to the effect that the
prosperous trend in affairs yet per-
sists.
