Get PDFA Message to the People of Maine Delivered Before the Eighth Annual Convention of the Maine Assessors, Augusta, November 12, 1924.
Assessors of Maine:
When the Chairman of our State Board of Assessors, Hon. Clement S. Stetson, invited me to speak upon this occasion I accepted because it is a privilege to discuss problems with men and women like yourselves who are deeply interested in State affairs. I have enjoyed the four Assessors conventions that I have attended (1921-1924) and am of the opinion that there is no gathering held within the State that has greater possibilities of good than this. You men and women are at the head of public affairs in your cities and towns and are in a position to exert a wholesome influence over public sentiment in your several communities.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1159/thumbnail.jp

Needles from the whispering pine: verse ; a close to nature series
Get PDFDedication:
To the simple-living, home-loving people I meet and enjoy to be with; to the animals I know and pet and pat, and am rubbed and nosed by; to the birds that sing for me and with me; to the trees and flowers that give me of their balm and fragrance and inspire me; and to good old Maine, with her lakes and streams, hills and valleys, fresh air, blue skies, and sunshine, I affectionately dedicate what is between these covers.
