A strange thing happened in
Portland lust week. One of the
judges refused to grant a divorce.
It has gotten to he the custom in
such a general degree that di
vorces are granted even upon the
flimsiest excuse that any excep
tion to the rule is a matter of
remark. How a person could
think of an excuse that would
not work iti a divorce case is to
he wondered fit.

People should get in the habit
of sending any news item they
have knowledge of to the local
paper. It requires hut little
trouble to do so, and a better
paper is the result. News items
are ever gratefully appreciated
by the editor. If you have
friends visiting at your home,
it is only a matter of courtesy
that you should see that note of
the fact appears in the local
jiapor. The guests appreciate
it, and it is a mutter of commun
ity interest. Send in the items.
The Commercial club is taking
up the matter of Sweet Pea Show
bright and early, which augurs
well for ji larger and -more com
prehensive show than has yet
taken place in St. Johns, Plans
for a vigorous campaign in the
way of a show on a more massive
and broader scale than has yet
been attempted, are well under
way. and the people in general

will be held in St. Johns next

possessing it, and will no doubt
avail themselves to a largo extent

Somehow the livening News,
with all its readiness to dolvo
into nauseous messes, failed to
unearth tho police scandal now
agitating the city of Portland.
Wondor why! Whs it because
tho police wore expected to act as
solicitors for tho News without
money and without price, and to

tcrforo with admirable arrange
ment. Slovor states that the
News used coercion in endeavor
ing to socure false evidence
against Tom Word. The News
seems to have gotten smeared a
trifle with the mess that it is
over ready to parcel out to
others. It is always best to
see that ono's own skirts are
clean before calling attention to i
the filth of others. The recall
of Tom Word will receive no
great impetus if Captain Slovor
can substantiate his statements
as to the. methods used by tho
News in securing ammunition
for tho recall.

The Best Light
At The Lowest Cost
ELECTRIC LIGHT is the most suitable for homes,
offices, shops and other places needing light.
Electricity can be used in any quantity, large
or small, thereby furnishing any required
amount of light. Furthermore, electric lamps,
can be located in anyplace, thus affording any
desired distribution of light.
No other lamps possess these qualifications, theret
fore it is not surprising that electric lamps are
rapidly replacing all others in modern establishments.
