F. Merrill, Chairman of the Maine
to the Southland Pilgrimage starting
February LIST for 20 days. after q
meeting yesterday afternoon of the
committee in charge at the Falmouth
Hotel Portland.
Due to deposits already made, II
was found necessary to add an al
ditional compartment car and the
original allotment of 154 had to be
increased to 164. Because or De-
lated requests, an additional car
could have been easily filled but from
experience gained on similar trips, IL
was deemed advisable by the COM
mittee to hold the number down TOT
the comfort and interests OF those
making the pilgrimage as larger
number would be too unwieldiy 10

The trip will cover the entire state
of Florida and stops made at SIX
other southern states, where the
Chief Executives, working In con-
junction with the State Chambers OF
Commerce, will entertain the Pill

literally risen with their respective
states in their hands and offered 1t

ing the trip. Mr.. A. L. T. Cum

a maze of three score and more most
cordial invitations from local, state,
civic, and private organizations, all OF
which threaten to wreck the Maine
Special if their particular place of
paradise is not included in the trip.
In most places it has been necessary
to have the various organizations
combine on their welcoming pro-
grams.
The letters received from the
various local Chambers of Commerce
in Florida are good exhibit one"

\ Goodness me! How Mr.. North Wind
was blowing. He seemed to have no
sympathy for nice Uncle John Hare,
but whirled the snow in great clouds
all around the red sleigh, hiding at
times from the old gentleman rabbits

Uncle John Hare. Can you see your

"Wait q minute. have pair in my

and fumbling in his pocket. he drew
them out. Turn your head around
and I'll put them on for you" But,
goodness me! Although the old gentle

Nor strain as he might could the old

the old gentleman rabbit. Hope I don't

jumped. But, goodness me! again. He
almost disappeared from sight. Yes,
right down into the snow he sank, and
although he kicked and pushed with
his long hind legs, he just couldn't
bulge an inch.
Now I'm in peck of trouble and

"I'm stuck fast"
Sad, but true. Little Reader. How

Ditch Digging Easy
AS Compared With
Efforts of Film Actors

Hollywood. Cal, Jan. 21.-(AP)-
Ditch-digging, said Ernest Terrence,
character actor of the films, is light
relaxation when compared with the eff
fort necessary to a successful por-
trayal of a part before the motion pic
ture camera.
He cited set of outrageous whisk-
ers, mole on his nose, 60 pieces of
jewelry and a varied assortment of
other odds and ends as proof.
The whiskers braided down two
sides and waving free amidships. Tor
renee declared, furnished one Of his
worst bugaboos in designing makeup

sary raw material, trained it one way,
then another tried more than a score
of styles. and creations. photographed
it numberless times at different stages
of development, and then found a pat
tern in set of old Persian prints"
The mole was more trouble. He
started with a make-believe mole on
his forehead, but it looked like any
other blotch when photographed Fin
ally he located one on his nose where
1t showed up in profile with all the de-
sired effect.
Jewelry, more than a half hundred
pieces, rings, bracelets. beads, brooches,
ETC.. all had to be made to order, tried
on and altered. Costumes without end
were fitted and changed.
In the filming of one scene Terrence
and many others had to swim a river
several hundred feet wide-with the
thermometer SO degrees above zero.
Then while completing the role in
one picture he had to study the script
of the next and plan almost every
move before the camera.

HOW TO COOK, WHERE TO EAT

A subscriber sends in q personal
letter received by him from a friend
in New Jersey from which we take
the following:
I'VE enjoyed the cranberry beans
for supper today; they and the peas
tasted delicious. I hardly think
that our Jersey products measure up
to your brands, both in size as well
as in taste"
Evidently our subscriber Is one of
those doing his bit in a quiet way
to introduce Maine products to his
friends. MADE in Maine" should
be a slogan lived up to scrupulously;
but when it comes to beans we best
add Baked in Maine"
Consider the cooking. When will
the psychoanalyst undertake to ex-
plain why 1t is that when one gets
beyond the southern and western
borders of Massachusetts he takes a
chance with every order he gives
for baked beans. In most In
stances those cooks simply cannot
turn the trick; their baked beans
lack something, sometimes 1t Is pork,
and then there's the modicum Of
molasses and mustard. and possibly
the hint of an onion.
Long ago the housewives of Mas

tween watching out for Indians and
seeing that he beans We're being

BORDERING ON coNFIscATIoN

When we lea6 that two great pub
fishing concerns in this little city
are endeavoring to make arrange
ments to enter their publications in
other Offices nearer the center of the
country and so avoid being crushed
by the coming system aggravated by
increased rates on second, third and
fourth class mail, we do not require
vivid imaginations to apprehend
evidence that, in effect, the Federal
Government has laid a blighting
hand on this community.
The endeavor to reach, by means
of publications through the mails,
the great rural regions of the coun-
try was pioneered here in Augusta
around half a century ago. Out of
this effort grew quantities Of other
classes Of mail. The splendidly
equipped postoffice facilities here
testify to that, the large number of
people that find employment by
reason of this enterprise corroborate
II.
Now this great undertaking was
made under the postal laws of the
Government. The pioneers did not
secure the passage of those laws.
The fathers of the country foresaw
the Importance of disseminating in
formation throughout the length and
breadth Of the land by means of the
printed word. They wished to en-
courage the doing Of 1t. They may
not have foreseen, when they made
a low rate of postage on publications
that they so were giving encourage
ment to commensurate growth OF
other classes of mail, lessening thu
overhead Of distributing the mail
and contributing greatly to the well
fare of all concerned. But just that
has come about as consequence.
To secure an increase of revenue
the Government has now changed
its laws in such fashion that what
may be profitable in the central part
Of the country is made improbable
in another part; that business long
established on the basis of good
faith in future legislation is in a
way. to be driven to move or shut
down. This legislation further
operates to drive out of business the
small mail order concerns scattered
all over the country, leaving the
large ones in command of the field
Moreover the procedure causing
these conditions is found to be made
quate to the purpose sought. the
securing of desired revenues. 1t
would seem that here Is something
worse than mere laundering.
The results, so far as they affect
an important factor in the life of this
community, border on confiscation.
Our Government has been speaking
sternly to Mexico, warning her not
to pass retroactive legislation that
will impair or destroy our invest
ments in that country. Surely
those investors had reason to suppose
they were taking bigger chances
going to that country with all the
threatening uncertainties attending
1t than had those who established the
publishing business in Augusta. Yet
this business is now confronted by
conditions, in some respects as
menacing as those we complained of
in Mexico, that is prompted by a
desire to protect her own.

and due care in their enjoyment.
The figures indicate something OF
