I'm answer to numerous inquiries as

exported from Maine and under what
conditions, the full text of the statute
! is referred to. This law reads as fol-
| lows:
There shall be an annual closed sea-
/ son on wild hares or rabbits in the
! counties of Androscoggin. Sagadahoc
and York uring the months of March,
/ April, May, June, July, August and
of Of saoo in

/ during the months of April, May. June.
July, August and September of each
year, during which respective closed
seasons it shall be unlawful for any
person to hunt. kill, catch, pursue, or
have any rabbits or parts thereof in

No person shall use any snares,
traps or other devices in the hunting,

J 1t will be noted by the above law
that there is no daily limit on rabbits
and that there is nothing in the law
preventing a licensed hunter who le-
gally secures live wild rabbits-in
open season-in territory open to hunt
ing-in legal manner-from sending
same out of the State in open season

MAINE REAL ESTATE
SOLD IN FLORIDA
BUYERS TO Build

Portland. Me-, Feb. 17.-Evtdence
that Maine is coming into its own and
is beginning to reap the returns from
it's publicity campaign is cropping out
nearly every day.
Harrie B. Coe, the manager of the
Maine Publicity Bureau has this week
received a letter from James Ashe,
publicity and real estate man of st.
Petersburg, Fla, giving particulars OF
the development of a 5000 acre tract
of land which he is to start this spring
in the town of Wesley in Washington
county. This land was open for sale
in st. Petersburg and in a few hours
of the first day, 10 estates of five
acres each were sold and the people
who bought have stated that they are
to build cottages and camps this spring
and summer. These persons include
bankers, doctors and lawyers, real es-
tate men, merchants and in fact men
and women representatives of almost
every activity in Florida. The party
who is developing this property has
options on several other beautiful
pieces of property in that same Sec
ton of the State.
Mr.. Coe says: New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia are to put on an extensive
advertising campaign the coming sea-
son which will attract a great many
people to that practically undiscov-
cred country and the more these people
go to the places across our border, the
more people we will have travelling the
length and breadth of our State spend
ing money on the way and seeing the
beauties which it offers for future con-
sideration by them and their friends.
another real estate development is
near Casco, Maine, by r. S. Hancock
and P. S. Cowell. president and vice
president of the New York-Pennsyl-
vania Realty Co. of ST. Petersburg,
Fla. They are planning to build a
colony club house and community CEN
ire so that property buyers may live at
the club house while building their
summer homes and the club house will
be developed as civic centre for this
summer playground development.
1.-The property which has been pur-
chased Is in northern Cumberland
county with five lakes within it's bor-
ders and with rolling continuous ridges
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-02-18

and mountain peaks. Fifteen St. Pc
tersburg families have already decid-
ed to make Casco their home for the
coming summer.
.Tn addition to these developments
at the eastern and western extremities
of the state, there are other activities
going on which are bound to mean
much to the future prosperity Of the
state. We should all put our should
ers to the wheel and help create the
necessary funds to advertise our state
for as has been so well said by Garritt
Fort, vice president Of the Boston q
Maine Railroad. ''our opportunities IN
Maine are of no earthly use If We do
not improve them"
People all ever the United states
are thinking and talking about Florida
and yet Is years ago Florida was NOT
nearly as well known as was Maine
Advertising has done II for F1orida
and 1t can do 1t for Maine because
while Florida had hardly more than a
sand pile and tropical climate to start
with. Maine has every desirable scenic
feature and a summer climate tnat
cannot be equailed for comfort by any
State in the Union.

The New England Conference on
tuberculosis, of which Walter d.
Thurber Of Augusta is president and
Frank Herman of Boston, Mass, is
secretary, has just received from the
II. s. Census Bureau a report on the
tuberculosis mortality throughout
the United States in 1874. The hg-
ures indicate that remarkable prog
ress is being made in the hight on
tuberculosis in New England states;
Every state in the New England
area reports a tuberculosis uea.h
rate for 1924 which is consfoerapiy
lower than the rate for the entire
United States. The past hve years
have witnessed steady ana raplu
decline in the New England deatn
rate from this disease. which a few
wears ago was hailed fearfully as
| captain Of the Men OF Death.
In 1920 the tuberculosis deaths IN
New England were at the rate OF
1918 per 100000 population as COM
pared with 114.2 for the entire Unit
ed States registration area.
In 1924 New England had cut Its
rate to 79.4 while the average for
the United States had been reduced
| to 90.6.
Five years ago the New England
| death rate from tuberculosis or con-
| sumption was only GA below the
! United States average. The 1924
New England rate was H. below
| the average for the entire nation.
Maine has led not only New Eng
land but all the other states east Of
the Mississippi River and south OF
the Great Lakes in this noteworth,
victory against tuberculosis. The
table Of figures for the New Eng
| land States announced by Secretar,
Herman of the New England Con
| ference is as follows:

The average death rate for New
England from tuberculosis for the
year 1920 was 1913. In five years
the rate was reduced to 1914.
These figures mean much for
New England" said Secretary Kier-
nan. For one thing, it means that
in the six New England states there
are now living approximately $500
men, women and children who would
nave been killed by tuberculosis if
the 1870 rate had not been checked.
This saving of lives can never be
measured in dollars and cents be-
cause no one can measure happiness
by any human yard-stick The
amount of happiness which has been
brought into New England and the
amount of misery and suffering
which has been prevented in this
winning fight for health is beyond
mortal comprehension.
But II we should take the modest
ngure of $4,000 per life merely for
comparison we find that the stu
pendous saving to New England in
nve short years from this success
auI nght on a single disease has
amounted to $42, 100000.
Another thing which sho,,Id M.
De overlooked Is that New England
IS rapidly becoming in reality the
playground of the nation, Tho
new England Conference on Tuber-
cuiosis is helping to make this soc.
ton of the country more desira HE
