“Wuart is the matter with Manches- 
ter? Isshe losing her prestige? Why 
I ask, is because I noted in one of last 
Sunder Boston papers a write-up of the 
beautiful resorts of the North Shore all 
the way from Swampscott to Rockport, 
but Beverly Farms and Manchester were 
not on the map as far as that writer was 
concerned, and | wonder way ?’’ —Adan- 
chester Cricket. 
We noticed the same thing, and won- 
dered as did our worthy contemporary. 
Our conclusion was that Manchester and 
Beverly Farms were given the “‘ go by,”’ 
so to speak, because there isn’t a hotel at 
either of these places. The article re- 
7 2, 
ferred to was a sort of “‘write-up’’ of 
the North Shore places in which are 
located hotels. “The Breeze has been 
persistantly preaching the need of an up- 
to-date hotel at Manchester for the past 
four years, andthe above referred-to con- 
temporary had been preaching the same 
kind of diction years before that. 
day we wouldlike to see our hopes and as- 
Some 
pirations realized, in this one particular 
atleast. “The Breeze is working for a 
bigger and better North Shore, and we 
a 
think this is one of the essentials in Man- 
chester, a first-class hotel. 
Chelsea needs a commission all right. 
It would never do to leave the recon- 
struction of the city to a board of alder- 
men that would loot the treasury of a 
stricken city by putting through an order 
for $75 to have their pictures taken. 
Shame!—Beverly Evening Times. 
State Treas. Arthur B. Chapin has 
made public the comparative cash _ state- 
ment for the first six months of the cur- 
rent year. Compared with the corres- 
ponding period last year there is an in- 
crease: ofp 1215/,397- OF this sum 
$416,000 is due to the fact that the state 
has taken over the armories. The net 
increase in the charitable expenditures is 
$216,000 and nearly every state depart- 
ment shows an increase. These figures 
probably indicate that the state tax this 
year will be slightly larger than last, 
which is.a matter of great importance to 
Manchester and Beverly residents. 
Great plans are being made for the 
New England Republican Barbecue to 
be held at Point of Pines on Thursday, 
July 16, under the auspices of the Mid- 
dlesex, Essex, Norfolk and Plymouth 
clubs. ‘The gathering is expeeted to be 
one of the largest in New England 
any capacity in recent years, and aside 
from its magnitude it will be notable be- 
cause of the presence of so many men 
prominent in national and _ state affairs. 
Governors, U. S. Senators and Congress- 
men all over New England have given 
assurances that they will be present. 
The festivities will close in the early 
evening with one of the grandest displays 
of fireworks seen in recent years, one of 
the features of which will be an immense 
set piece of the republican candidates for 
president and vice president. 
On the various committees are, from 
this seetion: W. W. Lufkin of Essex, 
Congressman Gardner’s secretary, and 
L. P. Stanton of Beverly, executive com- 
mittee; Hon. Samuel Cole, Hon. Har- 
vey S. Dow and Albert Vittum of Bev- 
erly, Postmaster Brown of Gloucester, 
reception committee; Senator Shaw of

WHISPERINGS 
‘In going over our books we find 
that we have near you a barrel of So-and 
So’s elastic roof paint which we do not 
wish to ship back here on account of 
transportation charges.’’ Every once in 
a while we get some advertising matter 
worded exactly like the above, and from 
the same company. Farther on down 
the letter it says: © This paint will keep 
in the barrel in first-class conditton for 
years.’’ And this makes us wonder if 
it really is the same barrel of paint this 
firm would have us buy each time, or 
some other barrel. And what would 
happen if two or three of the people 
who get this same letter should accept 
the offer!

“When a man axes me foh advice,’ 
said Uncle Eben, ‘‘ I doesn’t throw out 
my chest an’ feel flattered. De chances 
is dat de man who axes foh advice is 
simply goin’ around to everybody he 
knows tryin’ to celebrate hisse’f as a 
topic of conversation.’’ —WVashington 
Star. 
Flower Show This Month. 
The annual rose and strawberry show 
of the North Shore Horticultural society 
will be held on ‘Tuesday and Wednes- 
day, June 23 and 24, on the Essex 
County club grounds, as for the past two 
years. ‘The date was scheduled to come 
off the first two days of July, but it was 
found that the roses are about two weeks 
in advance of last year, and it was 
thought best to hold the show at least a 
week earlier. 
Attention of gardeners is called to the 
special prize offered for this show by 
Mrs. James McMillan. The condition 
for this cup, to be known as the Eagle 
Head Cup, have been changed to read 
“best collection of garden grown roses 
not less than ten varieties, four) blooms 
of each, to be won three times before be- 
coming the absolute property of the ex- 
hibitor.’’
