Sagueney river development to prove
his statement
Brings It Home -
The whole question was brought
nearer home when the speaker men
toned the recent newspaper story
telling about the Bath Iron Works
sold at auction for Junk" yet txu
years ago." continued Col Farnum,
"a large electrical manufacturer want
ed that site for pottery plant. Field
spar, the raw material, was near az
hand, the housing situation was ex-
cellent, there was a seaboard ship
ment for the finished product-every
condition seemed favorable. One cf
the chief reasons why this industry
did not come to Bath was that theY
wanted 10000 horsepower Of cheap de-
pendable hydro-electric power. No
power company had such a surplus
and no one could provide 1t within .
year. Bath lost an industry that
would have employed from 800 to
500 employees" p
In conclusion Col Farnum expressed
his belief that "a careful study Of the
power question by impartial investi.
gators will show that Maine Is now
growing by reason of its present va.
ter power policy; that badly needed
Industries are actually being kept out
of the State. If our governor is sin.
cere in his statements to see Mains
grow, here is an opportunity which he
should not fail to have investigate

erned accordingly. The advantages Of
the present campaign to advertise

 Let's invite him to go with us on a hunt" said Mrs. Rcddy. "We'l lead him towards Farmer Browns henhouse and see what happens"
 Reddy chuckled. "I know what will happen" said he. Well try il just for fun"
 So they hunted up their cousin Gray Fox, and invited him to gc hunting with them that evening Gray Fox said he would be very pleased to so with them. So, after the Black Shadows had crept al through the Green Forest and Swee Mistress Moon had begun to try tt drive them back. Reddy and Mrs Reddy and Gray Fox met on th' edge of the Green Forest. "Whero are we to hunt?" asked Gray Fox.

 So Gray Fox trotted along behind his two cousins, with Reddy leadin' the way. Along the edge of tn Green Forest to the beginning Of th Old Orchard, then over t'sa old ston' wall into the Old Orchard Reddy let the way. Gray Fox began to hanl back. Where are we going?" b whispered.
