THE adjourned town meeting will be 
held in Manchester next Monday even- 
ing. 
WHAT’s a boys time worth? There 
is food for thought on this subject in an 
article on the opposite page. Read it! 
Tue Sixth District republican conven- 
tion to elect two delegates to the national 
convention, will be held in Now and 
Then hall, Salem, at 10 o’clock next 
‘Thursday. 
SucuH delightful Spring days as yester- 
day are the kind to make people think of 
the North Shore. Greater activity is 
evident every day now, and before many 
weeks the North Shore will be itself 
once more. 
MANCHESTER ought to appropriate 
$5000 for moth work at the adjourned 
meeting next Monday evening. If so 
the state will give $5000, and $5000 has 
already been offered by a committee of 
summer residents. $15,000 ought to 
accomplish a great deal of work. And 
Manchester workmen will get most of 
the money. 
Ir seems evident that deer are multi- 
plying on the North Shore. Every day 
or two we hear of someone seeing a 
deer in the woods or grazing in some 
field. The night freight killed a deer 
on the track between Magnolia’ and 
West Gloucester not many weeks ago. 
There has been considerable complaint 
at West Gloucester lately of boys with 
dogs chasing deer and it would seem that 
measures should betaken to stop them. 
On the other hand the deer do no small 
amount of destruction to vegetation as it 
starts from the ground, and as the plant- 
ing season is approaching, it would seem 
that farmers and others having crops, 
should have some protection against loss 
in this direction. Under the law they 
are powerless to do anything but frighten 
the creatures away from the fields. 
‘THE great things that were predicted 
from the adoption of the three mill tax 
on intangible property, as desired by the 
recess committee on taxation, and sub- 
sequently reported to the legislature, have 
been summarily dissipated by the finding 
of the supreme court that the measure is 
unconstitutional. | Manchester and _ all 
other North Shore towns would have suf- 
fered more than the towns in any other 
‘part of the state had such a bill passed. 
The bill provided for placing a small tax 
(three mills on a dollar) upon exempted 
property, on the reasoning that the gains 
in revenue from the willing uncovering 
of property heretofore concealed - would 
produce a total in excess of the present 
collections, and it was on this principle 
that the question of unconstitutionality 
arose. “The Salem News suggests that 
“it would have been interesting to note 
the operation of this sliding scale of hon- 
esty, up to a point where the levy be- 
came so objectionable as to promote 
wholesale perjury, but the supreme court 
finding has of course upset all chances 
in this quarter.’”’ 
IN commenting on the appropriation 
by Congress of $250,000 for the exter- 
mination of the gypsy and brown tail 
moths, the Gloucester Daily Times 
says: 
When one thinks of the denuded trees 
and wood of some sections when the 
pest first started and realizes that but for 
these stringent measures and the expend- 
iture of money, the woodlands and shad- 
ed drives of Cape Ann and all along the 
whole North Shore would have been but 
a desert of barren, gray limbs, in summer 
time, he must admit that though costly, 
the work has been more than justified 
and that results have shown its value, 
And now the National government 
comes out with financial aid to carry on 
the work. This, we suppose, means 
that the battle against the gypsy and 
brown tail moths will be continued with 
vigor and that part of the heavy expense- 
under which the state, cities and in- 
dividuals have been laboring) i in this state, 
at least, for several years, will probably 
be lightened, and that while the same 
protection will be afforded and the same 
vigorous war kept up, the expense local- 
ly will be somewhat less. 
This is as it should be, for with the 
continuance of the pest now admitted 
and regarded as a national evil, it is only 
proper that the national government 
should relieve localities of the cost of 
warding off the extermination, or a_ part 
of it at least, and assume the part of the 
burden itself. 
Advertising Suggestions 
GUD GP CMD CD EAE cae Gs O 
Newspaper advertising is to business 
what hands are to aclock. It isa direct 
and certain means of letting the public 
know what you are doing. In these 
days of intense and vigilant commercial 
contest a dealer who does not advertise 
is like-a clock that has no hands. He 
has no way of telling folks what he’s at. 
He can no more expect a twentieth cen- 
tury success. with nineteenth century 
methods than he can wear the same sized 
shoes as a man which fitted him in_ his 
boyhood.
