WHATEVER statement the electric 
company may see fit to make regarding 
the trouble with the plant at Manchester 
last week, whatever excuses they may 
offer for the power being off a greater 
part of the time from Wednesday noon 
until Saturday night, the fact remains 
that they are running the plant in Man- 
chester and have run it for the last six. 
months or more, with no employees save 
a manager and young lady stenograher. 
If any trouble occurs they hire men to 
go out and hunt up the trouble and if 
possible remedy it. They do not look 
after their system until they have to. 
They wait until things go smash and the 
public are the losers thereby. 
A WRITER on a city paper laments the 
increasing tendency of society folk to de- 
crease the season in the city, and that 
they keep their country homes open too 
late. What the city looses in this re- 
spect, the country gains. The North 
Shore for instance. ‘The season is being 
extended more and more every year. 
"Eventually it is hoped to have 
To young men of the coming gener-

and investigation is offered than that of 
forestry. It is one of the vast fields of 
labor before the country at the present 
time. 
It will be a source of surprise to many 
who do not understand the work of the 
forest service to learn of the permanent 
improvement work which has been 
carried on in the national forests. On 
the forests of Arkansas, Arizona and 
New Mexico the service spent during 
the last fiscal year $68,923.84 for per- 
manent improvements. ‘The primary 
object of expending money in this way 
is to make the forests more accessible to 
the public; hence a very large percent- 
age of this sum was spent in the con- 
struction and repair of roads and trails, 
and many miles of telephone lines were 
also constructed. The report shows 
that the money was expended in thec n- 
struction and repair of 253 miles of trails, 
32 miles of wagon road and 206 miles of 
telephone lines. 
In order to effect an efficient adminis- 
tration of the forest it has been found 
that quick communication is an absolute 
necessity. This is especially true in re- 
gard to the forest fire problem. If a 
ranger can immediately telephone for 
help when he discovers a fire rather than 
ride all day to procure this help it argues 
that the expense involved in constructing 
telephone lines is justified. The tele- 
phone lines constructed by the service 
are also a great help to ranchers, as can 
be easily appreciated when one realizes 
that there are many ranches located at a 
considerable distance from settlements. 
each 
ranger located on the forest in direct 
communication with his supervisor. 
WEATHER Statistics show that the fig- 
ures for the month of November just 
closed equal the warmest November on 
recofd in this vicinity. “There was a 
mean daily temperature of 46.5, as com- 
pared with the normalof 41.2. The 
cold weather of the last two days of the 
month prevented the month being a rec- 
ord-breaker. The warmest day of the 
month was on the 12th, when the mer- 
cury reached 76 deg., a new record for

November. Onthe same day the mer- 
cury dropped to 53 deg. Partly cloudy 
weather prevailed during the month, 
there being but five clear days, including 
‘Tuesday of this week. 
IF there is any section of Manchester 
that is in need of improvements in the 
widening of the streets itis Union street, — 
the entire length, but especially between 
the Postofice and Washington street. 
This street is the main thoroughfare be- 
tween Gloucester and Beverly. It is 
travelled by autos and carriages all day 
and all night long in summer, and it is 
surprising that more than one accident of 
a serious nature has not happened there. 
It is the narrowest street in town. It 
ought to be widened. ‘There ought to 
be more room in front of the Postoffice. 
THE time has gone by when the pub- 
lisher of any newspaper, even of the 
humblest country weekly, goes around 
asking support of personal friendship. 
But the public ought to realize just the 
same, that the prosperity and progress of 
its town is judged by outsiders by the 
kind of newspaper product that is sent 
out to represent it. 
A town with poorly printed, ill writ- 
ten, and generally slovenly newspapers is 
universally judged to be on the toboggan. 
A town with enterprising looking sheets 
gives an impression that there is enter- 
prise in the town that creates the good 
looking journal. When a man_ pays 
down his dollars for a subscription to his 
home paper, or for advertising in its 
columns, he is at the same time adver- 
tising his home town to the outlying 
country and neighboring cities. The 
more a newspaper’s subscriptions and 
advertising increase, the more features 
the publisher can add, the faster he can 
improve his mechanical equipment, the 
more nearly can he come to realizing his 
ideals of newspaper making.—Exchange.
