they sing

Portland is going to try daylight
saving by voluntary agreement, but

In other words, the town clock will
be merely the basis for computation.

has resulted in a suit for $500 dam
ages being brought against the j. E.
Palmer Co. of Portland. The action
was filed in superior court, Forestina
O'Brion of that city being the plain
tiff. She charges that as patron of
the J. E. Palmer Co., she was leaving
the store last August % when she
slipped on some soapsuds, left negli-
gently, she asserts, on the floor. The
fall caused her a sprained back and
injuries to an arm and wrist, she COM
plains and asks $500 damages.
That the selection of the Maine city
to entertain the National Grange con-
vention next fall will be made in the
near future, is indicated by the fact
that Leslie r. Smith of Hadley, Mass,
member of the executive committee,
will visit Portland, Bangor and Lew
iston next week to inspect facilities
for handling this big meeting. Mr..
Smith had planned to visit Maine two
months ago, but sudden illness nee
essitating an operation and a pro-
longed rest, forced him to delay his
visit.
Hon. John Fl. Stacey Of Bath and
Popham Beach, who is passing the
winter with Mrs. Stacey in st. Peters,
burg. Fla. as has been their custom
hoe
COPY of an advertisement which the
state of Maine Is running in the
Florida newspapers. 1t calls atten-
ton to the fact that the earliest set
Elements In the New World made by
civilized man were in Florida and in
Maine and that they were made al
most simultaneously more than 800
years ago and that people are learning
to go to Florida in winter and Maine
in summer.
The town Of Phippsburg at It's an
nual meeting on Monday voted $500
year to pay health officer in the
town. The town has been without a
physician for many years and it is
claimed that there Is not sufficient
practice there to get one to locate.
Inc charge IOT UOCtoI Iioii Dam W
attend patients in the lower part of
the town is heavy and so the town has
voted $500 to a health officer so that
the townspeople may have the SER
vices of resident physician. This
Is a problem which many country
towns are having to meet and this
seems about the only solution, says
The Bath Times.
Anyone thinking there's a little
doing" down here In Maine should
turn to page SIS of the United States
Investor for Jan. 80. ult. and read the
headlines, Chapman Bank Crowns
100%-Puts on $4,000 accounts in a
single year. And, having read the
headlines it would be of interest to
read the three-column article on this
bank of which Philip F. Chapman is
president, assisted by the Chapman
family" as the staff Is familiarly
termed, permeated by the family
spirit. All of which goes nicely with
the splendid new banking building
that etches a conspicuous and a pleas
ing outline on Portlands skyline. A
tidy banking institution down here in
Maine with a checking account in 1925
amounting to $1,s6O,SS6. savings de-
posits of $3,414,139 and other deposits
of $6S8,950, one of several banking in
situations that find Maine a profitable
field.
