WASTE NO PITY ON
 NEW ENGLAND

How goes 1t with New England7 Be- cause of some depression in the tex tie ccnters. and consequent labor disturbances, pessimists are again abroad in the land with their stories of our decadeuee. They do not say that here and there conditions are un- favorable but they take the New Eng land States as q group and repre- sent them to be in a bad way. They are good enough to say that they can remember New England when it was prosperous. but add, Look at it noww
 If they themselves had taken the pains to look at 1t, they could not possibly reach the conclusion that this group of sturdy states is in need of commiseration. They see New Bed ford and Fall River in transition pe- riod and seem to think that what is going on there is typical of New Eng 1 land generally. But what are the facts7
 In the last three years the people of New England have increased their savings bank deposits by l8.5 per cent. Postal receipts show exactly the same percentage of increase. Bank deposits in general are up 2S.9 per cent. Building contracts award ed are 33.8 per cent above 1924. Bank clearings are 29.9 per cent greater. The production of electric power has increased 26.2 per cent. Motor vehi- c'e registrations have jumped 2o.S per cent.
 These figures do not indicate that there is much the matter with New England Even the population, based on the estimates of the census bu- reau. has increased per cent, as com pared with a total increase through out the country of only 5.S per cent, In only one respect is there anything unfayorable in New England. The value of manufactured products shows a decrease of i4.2 per cent as compared with 1919. But fl We take the last twenty-year period Ii will be found that the value Of our manufactured products actually in. creased 31l per cent.
 The decrease in the last few years can largely be laid to the falling of in the production of textiles. But New England has ever had to adapt itself to new conditions, and we may feel sure that any loss in the textile industry will be made up in other directions. Whenever the New Eng land manufacturer has found that he cannot possibly devote his mill or factory to a particular line of pro. duets. he has turned to the making of other things.
 New England may be a small patch on the rest of the country, but Il shows no disposition to relinquisn either it's prosperity or it's leadership. Without any great natural resources if has overcome obstacles aad made it's way. If it could do this under more adverse conditions, it can and will continue to make progress under conditions that are vastly better. With more and cheaper power than was ever before available New England industry can be depended upon te maintain it's stride. If the entire world looks to the superior products of New England, the rest of the United States finds here q good mar ket for the things we do not produce flor the buying power of the New Eng land people is very great.
 Other sections of the country may proclaim their advantages, but w i here in New England are quite con tent. Our historical past is secure Our scenery nobody can take iron

 Marion, H.. April 9 -- During the 15 years that he wooed her persist entity. Edward Posse never had so much as an evening with pretty Ruth Aikman, Marion bank cashier. he never will.
 Posse, 45-year- old tender of bees and maker of honey, has been stung. The Williamson county cir cult court has ruled that he shall not follow. lolter about. address, stare at. write to, or phone Miss Aikman. II seems the court wants him to let her alone.
 The story of Edward Posses never say die courtship, like some novel, or like the poem of Sir Andrew Bar toms quoted above, is set to court music in Miss Aikman's petition like this:
 Posse changed his church mcm- tership from the German church to the South Methodist church so as to be were he could see her.
 Posse had q habit of passing her home, gazing and lettering. If she chanced to be walking where he was around, he would either slow uI so she would pass, or would walk fast so as to pass her.

 He would sit in church or i'll other places and stare at her in such way i as to irritate, excite and embarrass l her.

In the early spring there's noth- ing quite like the taste of maple syrup fresh from the sugar bush.' Served plain with warm biscuits, pancakes or waffles, it's delicious. Desserts sweetcncd with real maple syrup have a taste that cant be imi- tated.
