‘TELL me, ye winged winds that around 
my pathway roar, do ye not know some 
quiet spot where wives clean house no 
more; some lone, sequestered dale, 
some island, ocean-girt, where life is not 
one ceaseless war with cobwebs and with 
dirt; where only nature’s carpet spreads 
beneath their tired feet, and wretched 
men are ne’er compelled its emerald 
folds to beat? “The ocean breeze fanned 
my heated face and said: ‘‘ Beat on? 
There’s no such place.’’ 
Tue Boston daily paper that sent out 
advertising letters this week to.merchants 
telling how the hard times were over and 
business was ‘‘picking up,’’ citing as 
one proof of their contention that their 
circulation was increasing steadily,’ evi- 
dently did not look deep enough into 
their argument. ‘The increase in circu- 
lation of a l-cent paper would seem to 
indicate that many readers of 2-cent 
papers were buying the cheaper paper. 
You don’t hear many 2-cent papers tell- 
ing about an increase in circulation at the 
_ present time.

POSTAL CARRIER SERVICE FOR MANCHESTER ? 
If Present Growth of Postoffice is Kept up This will be Brought about in 
One or Two Years. 
Postal carrier service sounds big for 
Manchester, but it is surely coming in 
the near future if the present growth of 
the office keeps on. And it will come 
within one or two years, too. An _ in- 
crease of $900 more business the present 
year, beginning April 1, and _ ending 
April 1, 1909, will entitle the town to 
free delivery under the law. 
This is something of which few towns 
of the size can boast. In fact there are 
few towns of 2800 population that enjoy 
even the privileges of a second class 
postofhice. 
For the year ending April 1, 1906, 
$7700 worth of business was done at the 
Manchester postoffice. For the year 
ending April 1, 1907, this sum had been 
increased to $8600, an increase of $900. 
‘The year ending April 1, 1908, the of- 
fice had done $9100, an increase of 
$500. If this feure ($9100) can be in- 
creased the present year to $10,000, 
Manchester will be entitled to carrier ser- 
vice. 
This is a matter in which every resi- 
dent of Manchester should be interested, 
especially our summer residents who live 
in the outlying districts, who now have to 
drive to the postoffice for their. mail, or 
have it brought by special carrier. 
In case Manchester does get free de- 
livery there will probably be two carriers 
the yearround and two extra carriers in 
the summer season. 
‘THE only men of worth to a town or 
community are those who forget their 
own selfish ends long enough and are 
liberal enough in their ideas to encourge 
every public and private enterprise, who 
are ready with brain and purse to push 
every project calculated to build up the 
The 
enterprise and push of a town or com- 
town and enhance its importance. 
munity is the foundation of its permanent 
success. A town may as well prepare 
for its funeral as to become indifferent to 
the enterprise in its midst. 
Moth Work in Manchester. 
Under the above caption the following 
communication, signed by W. D. Cor- 
liss, who is in charge of the moth work 
being done by the state in Manchester, 
appeared in the Gloucester Daily Times 
Monday: 
Messrs. Editors:-—I saw an item in 
the Gloucester Daily Times the other 
evening in regard to moth work in Man- 
chester, and~as there seems to be some 
misunderstanding I thought I would give 
you the facts which you may publish if 
you wish. 
In the first place Manchester and Bev- 
erly have each given $5000 for moth 
work in the woodland, the summer re- 
sidents of each place have contributed 
#5000 and the state has given $5000 to 
each place, therefore Manchester and 
Beverly each have $15,000 to spend on 
the woodland. 
‘The money has been turned over to 
the State to handle, and Mr. L. How- 
ard Worthley has charge of the work. 
Mr. Worthley is the state assistant sup- 
erintendent of moth work. Mr. S. 
Phillips is Mr. Worthley’s assistant and 
he has about 590 men under him_ work- 
ing on moths along the North Shore. 
Mr. Phillips has several local superin- 
tendents under him, such as the Beverly 
section and the Manchester section. I 
am the superintendent of the Manchester 
end of it, and our men are divided into 
gangs of 25. We have three gangs in 
Manchester and one in Essex. Each 
gang has a foreman and_ sub-foreman, 
the former being Mr. Hotchkiss, Mr. 
‘Towle and Mr. Newhall in Manchester 
and Mr. Donovan in Essex. 
In the past three weeks we have cut 
over about 125 acres, making a vast im- 
provement. ‘There are about ten men 
from Gloucester working on the Man- 
chester job and Mr. Dier, one of our 
Cape Ann boys, is sub-foreman of Mr. | 
Hotchkiss’ gang. 
After we get through cutting the wood- 
land, it will be ready for spraying, and 
once sprayed there will be a marked im- 
provement in the moth question in _ that 
locality. 
Very truly yours, 
W. D. Cor iss.
