To the Business Men of 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Manchester By the Sea 
When a good salesman goes out after business, he first puts on a clean collar 
and gets his shoes shined. Then he Jooks like more business—and he’s made 
.a flying start toward getting it. 
Likewise, a community can go after more business—and get it. 
The “clean 
collar and shiny shoes” of this town are the well-painted stores, the bright, cheery 
homes, the fresh, clean-looking buildings. 
The part paint plays in building up 
local pride cannot be put in figures—but its good effects are recorded on the local 
merchants’ sales sheets. 
Buy good paint. 
We recommend and sell 
Phoenix White Lead 
(Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mark) 
and pure linseed oil. 
with us today. 
We know of nothing else so satisfactory, so lasting and 
cheap in the longrun. We sell all other paint necessaries as well.

E. A. LANE, MANCHESTER 
million dollars during 1914, or even 
three and a half cents. General 
Burleson is the first postmaster gen- 
eral since 1836 to surrender any of 
his appropriation. By lumping 
guesses on what ought to be reve- 
nues from . federal buildings, 
franked and penalty mail, and the 
handling of second class mail, Mr. 
Burleson, as a _ true Texan, 
‘‘reckons’’ that his department is 
earrying a load of about $50,000,- 
000 a year for other departments of 
the government and for subsidies to 
y ublishers. 
Farm Boys’ Clubs 
Less than half a dozen years ago 
a few boys who had made an un- 
usual showing in raising corn on an 
acre of land upon the farm where 
they lived were sent to Washing- 
ton. The agricultural department 
took the matter up in dead earnest, 
and now the boys are coming in 
trainloads. Other big bodies are 
made up of girls in canning clubs, 
but some of these girls have made 
the boys hustle in raising their 
prize acres of corn, peas, potatoes 
and other products of the soil 
The agricultural clubs are not 
the only juvenile excursionists to 
Washington, since thousands of 
high school children from New 
York, Brooklyn, New England and 
all over the eastern states make 
their pilgrimages to the capital 
each spring and summer. 
Parcel Post Not a Money Maker 
It was calculated that the parcel 
post would render an immense 
profit to the government, and de- 
partment officials prophesied in the 
heginning that Uncle Sam would 
clean up from $40,000,000 to $50,- 
000,000 annually upon this branch 
of the service. The postoffice itself 
appears to be in considerable of a 
quandary as to the results of the 
parcel post, but the special joint 
committee of congress, headed by 
Senator Bristow, has made a report 
upon the parcel post, and while it 
does not deal specifically with its 
revenue producing powers, it clear- 
ly indicates that this new feature in 
postal affairs is not a money maker. » 
The postoffice department makes 
millions of dollars on first class 
mail matter and loses it—and more 
—in carrying newspapers, mer- 
chandise and other classes of mail. 
As the principal function of the 
postoffice department is to transmit 
communications, the suggestion put 
forth by Senator Weeks boils down 
9 
to the plain proposition that inas- 
much as letter mail is undoubtedly 
able to pay its own way at the one- 
eent rate of postage, the people are 
entitled to that rate. But there is. 
no attempt upon the part of Senator 
Weeks or any one else who thinks 
as he does, to conceal the fact that 
one-cent letter postage would mean 
a higher rate upon parcels and see- 
ond class mail matter. 
As an inereased rate on second 
class mail matter would affect 
every publishing concern, it is very 
easy to forsee that any material 
growth of this one-cent letter post- 
age idea along the above lines will 
rapidly bring about the concerted 
opposition of the publishers against 
an increase in their postage rates. 
At the same time, the large ship- 
pers of merchandise through the 
mails will resist any attempt at 
‘‘revision upward’’ of parcel post 
rates. 
Undoubtedly Senator Weeks is 
right; nevertheless, there is little 
probability of one-cent letter post- 
age for a good many years. 
Evelyn Nesbitt at Keith’s 
One of the biggest attractions of 
the year at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
will be the first appearance in Bos-

touring in vaudeville has proved

ords, ,and it is safe to say that seats

bitt’s engagement. Miss Nesbitt will
