Uiat lie ‘felt that the

would benefit the town more than it
would the Trust Company.’
As evidence of our good faith that we
want you to think of this bank as your
bank I will ask Dr. Kilgore, one of our
trustees of whom we, and I am sure you,
are justly proud that he is associated
with us, a man that we delight to honor,
I will ask Dr. Kilgore if we have not let
him do about all of the work connected
with getting the building ready, (of
course I might add that it was easier to
‘let George do it’) and we are mighty
well pleased with the splendid results
that he has produced.
We are a,so trying to make you feel
just as much at home as possible when
ever you come into the bank by install
ing Miss Christine Jones, a young lady
of Brooks, as branch manager, who from
the way in which I heard her invite a
man to have a cigar yesterday, I am sure
will make a most gracious hostess should
any of you desire to use the bank as a
social center.
Therefore, my friends, it is your bank
and I will repeat, in order to impress you
as deeply as possible, that its growth and
prosperity will mean growth and pros
perity for your town. We are here to
render you a workable, practical service
and in order that we may do so we invite
and will welcome any constructive criti
cism and thus bring about a whole-heart
ed co-operation that is bound to be bene
ficial to all concerned.
I assure you that I have firm faith in the
splendid progress and prosperity that the
future has in store for Brooks.”

congratulations to brooks
Congratulations to the little town of
Brooks, up in W aldo county, where a
new bank has just been opened and
where there is to be a big boom in the
canning business the coming season.
Black & Gay, Canners, Inc , already
have a prosperous industry there, and a
Brooks correspondent writes that anoth
er building has been bought, with a view
to enlarging the plant. Coincident with
this announcement comes the report that
the Saco Valley Canning Co. has made
plans to install during the winter a husk
ing and cutting station for corn. Few
small towns approach the dull winter
season with more cheerfulness than
Brooks.—Courier Gazette.

missed so little the money we saved each week: in
fact, would not have saved it but for this

Now we will buy presents for grandpa and
grandma, for one another, and put part of the
money back into the SAVINGS DEPARTMENT of
the bank to keep on working for us while we JOIN

Sunday morning there were evidences

People living on and near this road com

Mr. and Mrs. D. A. MacLennon, who

Sunday was the only stormy one for

Belfast has a special interest in the
proposed bridge at Bath over the Ken
nebec River as other sections of the
State are taking advantage of the auto
traffic directed their way. When the
Bath bridge is built, as it will be in the
near future and the Belfast bridge and
State road over Searsport avenue is com
pleted, travel will come by the beautiful
shore line, regardless of other induce
ments. The auto travel is a mighty in
dependent feature and summer tourists
will take diction from no source even
warnings posted in garages.
The Women’s Alliance of the Unitar
ian church met last Thursday at the
home of Mrs. Tnomas B. Dinsmore.
After a short business session, the presi
dent, Miss Maude Barker, introduced Mr.
Hartwell L. Woodcock, who gave a talk
on “Social Parasites”. Mr. Woodcock,
from his twenty winters at Nassau and
Florida hotels, carrying on h s art work
and disposing of his paintings, was well '
qualitied to treat this subject. He has
had many interesting experiences with
and related many anecdotes of the idle
rich, who seek those resorts. Many
celebrities were spoken of, among whom
were H. H. Rogers, Mark Twain, John
D. Rockefeller. Mr. Woodcock told of
his trip in an airplane last winter. His
conclusion concerning “Social Parasites”
was that something ought to be said in
their favor, for they were liberal patrons
of fine arts, they gave employment to
many who would find it difficult to get
on without this help, and they dispensed
their wealth freely. He then showed
many pictures which he has painted this
summer at Crie Haven, Matinicus, and
his camp at Bingham. Some gateways
at Nassau also were in the collection.
Mrs. Irving T. Dinsmore, Mrs. Maude E.
Busse and Mrs. Fred A. Johnson were

16, with a paper on Historic Boston from
Miss E. Frances Abbott.

I worship at 10.45; sermon by the pastor,
subject, “Compensation." Church school
I at noon. Men's Forum at 12.15. Mid-week
• service Thursday at 7.30 p. m. Despite the
storm of last Sunday, a fine body of men
turned out to the Men's Forum to hear
Mr Morris L. Slugg speak on the subject,
“A Wider Interest in Agriculture." Dr.
W. L. West presided and Mr. Slugg gave
a most interesting address. The discus
sion which followed was very animated
and profitable and showed considerable
diversity of opinion regarding the subject
introduced. In fact, so interested were
the men that after the meeting closed,
they lingered for another half-hour to
talk things oyer. The subject is to be
taken up again next Sunday, when it is
hoped a number of farmers will be pres
ent and express their views on this im
portant theme, “Man shall not live by
bread alone," said the “Great Teacher."
Nevertheless we certainly need some
bread, and, as one of the men pertinently
put it, “I quite believe the farmer is ca
pable of taking care of himself, but what
I want to make sure of is that he will
also take care of me." The speaker for
next Sunday will be Mr. Ralph Hayford
and his subject will he: “The City
Man's Obligations to the farmer."
Now men, and farmers, especially,
plan to be present. You will have a
good time.
me siereopticon lecture last Sunday
evening on “The Pilgrim Builder in the
New World,” was greatly enjoyed by
those present, and it was felt that the
spirit of “The Pilgrims” still lives in
their descendants, and accounts for all
that is best in our American civilization
today. Next Sunday evening the sub
ject of the lecture will be, “Under Cey
lon’s Palms.” The lecture will be illus
trated by seventy colored views, and as
Ceylon is the gem of the Indian Ocean,
an island of rare beauty, with vast tea
plantations and an interesting people,
it will be a great privilege to see by
means of pictures some of its natural
beauties and gain further knowledge of
the manners and customs of its people.
The lecture is free to all and the public
is cordialiy invited to attend. A collec
tiomwill be taken to defray the cost of
hiring slides.

WHEN times grow dull, do you give
* Y up your electric service?
Few do.
That is one reason why a power company’s
dividends go steadily on, in good times or
bad.
Deflation finds the power company in a
healthy state. It has no inflated prices to
cut, no inflated inventories to mark down.
Its cost of doing business grows steadily
less as deflation makes progress.
No matter how far deflation goes, the
power company should steadily continue
to pay dividends.
This strong likelihood of dividends paid
regularly for all time, is doubtless one
of the many reasons why the demand for
Central Maine Power Company 7% Pre
ferred Stock continues to be brisk.
It sells for $107.50 a share to yield 6 1-2%
net—a high yield considering how excel
lent are the chances that you will al
ways get it.
