farms and more and more are bring
ing the consumers to the stump.
Does Maine need to be ashamed of
the fact that go per cent of it's farms
are occupied by the owners and that
81 per cent of its farms are free Of
mortgage debt as contrasted with the
average in the country of.52 per cent,
or that the average debt upon the
33 per cent of our farms that are
per cent of our farms that are mort
gagged is less than one-half the aver
age Of the country?
Maine agricultural acres with their
remarkable fertility and their present
low cost offer probably as good an
agricultural investment as is to be
found today in the United States
with an average annual production
Of 20 per cent of their investment
cost.
These are some Of the reasons for
the faith that is in us that Maine
agriculture is destined for a very
healthy growth.
While agricultural values have
been declining rs per cent in the
middle west and 35 per cent In the
sunny south, Maine acreage has
shown a steady increase through the
last five critical years and that IS at
ributed by the Department Of Com
merce to a broadening of activities in
dairying, market gardening and re-
creational developments that are
having a most beneficial effect.
The State is seeking to coordinate
all activities with the design OF
serving the $4,000 farms in the State
of Maine in the more advantageous
marketing of their products in every
line and in interesting outsiders in
the possibilities that are offered for
ercellent investments within our
State.
Meanwhile it is the opinion of the
present administration that tax-re-
duction is the single greatest contrl-
button which the State government
can make to he cause of farm re-
lief,

tering by the main door which was now
opened. the celebrant and his assistants
and a~c0lytes went up to the Altar, where
tile H3iy Sacrifice began. The choir OF
S. S. Peter and Paul's church. accom-
panied by haTmOnium and violin added
lustre to the. ceremony by the splendid
rendition OF a beautiful musical Mass.
After the reading of the Gospel OF the
day, an eloquent sermon appropriate to
the occasion was delivered in the Eng
lish language by the Vice Provincial.
With a remarkable correctness OF Gle
ton. elegance of style and possessed Of
a vast vocabulary, he handled his subject
in a most brilliant manner that caused
The gathering to follow him with the
closest attention from beginning to end.
The office of the mass was then resumed,
the congregation following with 0bser-
vable piety- and devotion; the air seemed
purified, and each time that the gong
struck at the time OF conservation, the
echo reSOunded as ii sent back from an

language is so prolific, he reminded US
of our college days when we read Fene-
Ions ''pelemaque" and other classics
under the competent direction Of beloved
Father Wittebolie, G, SIS. r., one of the
brightest French scholars who ever set
foot on this island. In the course of his
remarks, the speaker stated that the ORR
ginal idea of a chapel and school house
had emanated from Mr.. Civille, who gen
erously donated the land on which the
sacred edifice stands.
The Chapel. as we said in a previous
issue is very beautiful 1t is a marvel
lous intermingling of simplicity with
gracefulness which brings out refined
lines that command admiration and when
the sun would now and then rid himself
of the cumbersome clouds and throw his
radiance on the coIOred glass panes with
figures of the Holy kedeemer and the
Blessed Virgin, q wonderful panoramic
effect was produced.
