New Features This Week. The People-Sentinel calls attention to several new features in this issue. Elsewhere will be found the first of a series of talks by Will Rogers, the well known cowboy humorist; several recipes prepared by Miss Elizabeth McNab, Home Demonstration Agent, aiyl a special article, also by Miss McNab, about the results • being achieved by the club women will no doubt be welcomed by our readers. M Barnwell Is Barnwell.” In most towns, certain industries, Including newspapers, are given pre ference along certain lines. For in stance, where the light and power ser vice was disrupted by the tropical storm this week, the lines were first repaired, we understand, to servo such industries. B'ut not so in Barnwell. After re peated requests to a member of tho Board of Commissioners of Public Work* we at last succeeded in having the line repaired to our office Thurs day and had current to operate our machinery that afternoon for the first time in nearly three days. We realize that the superintendent of the plant and his helpers have had their hands full repairing the damage caused by the storm over the entire town, but as we remarked above in mcit towns certain industries are •hown some preference. Such pre- • ferenre has never been shown to the management of The People-Sentinel aad what service we have gotten has *becn without the well-known smile. We have no delusions nor exaggerat ed opinions about our importance, but merely remark in passing that during the World War, the government re garded even the lowly weeklies as a necessary industry and exempted them from regulations relative to conserva tion of fuel and power. We shall welcome the time that Barnwell sees fit to sell the light plant to a corporation. Courtesy, lower light and tax rates, along with ser vice, will gladden the heart of the # f T f average citizen of Barnwell. r • > THERE'S NO ESCAPE T. v-«/ J,* ■ '*• *9 -"/rwrw. 1 - 1 •V -4?

Young- In^estigating an Old Proverb. “As Maine Goes, So Goes th<i Na tion”—this catchword has become aomething of a national proverb. The State of Maine has been regarded by many as the political barometer. The iwrty that succeeds in Maine always MRUs to expect “Fair and Warmer” weather throughout the country. In 1920 Maine elected a Republican gov ernor by 65,000 votes, and in the na tional election gave Harding a major ity of 66,000. In the Maine (flections this year William Tudor Gardiner was by an overwhelming vote elected Governor of the State, defeating the Democrat ic candidate. B<tfore the results were known, leaders in both parties the country over breathlessly awaited the news, i Maine Goes, So Goes the Na- the old catchword is phraafid. But is it true? - Close ~ investigation shows that Maiat went Democratic only once since 1888. Three times during that jperiqd, a Democratic president was elected. Maine did not vote for Cleveland fft 1892. Maine voted in 1912 for Wil son, but went Republican in 1916 when • Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, was again elected. i Well, we shall find out whether the cM catchword proves true this year.
