Wherever There Is a Lot Of Wear

and tear on paint, it is absolutely necessary to
have the best. Poor paint lasts no time-it is
not made to last nor are its constituents cal
culated to render it durable
All the elements of poor paint are cheap.
Cheapness does not mean economy but rather
the reverse.
That which is best, made from the best
materials lasts the longest, and therefore is the
most economical, even If it costs triie more
at the start.
This is the case with the Chiffon Paints,
whose name Is a synonym for satisfaction
Every one Of their component parts is the best
that the market affords, and no cheap substi-
tutes are used in their manufacture.

Further Trouble Feared.

Mr.. Ira Randall of Augusta, a promi-
pent lumberman is very solicitous about
tbe conditions on the Kennebec river and
thinks there is strong probability of an ice
lam and freshet far surprising that of
last week in destructiveness to property
along the river. He has an article in
the kennebec Journal in which he re-
views the situation and sounds the alarm
in trumpet tones. The worst feature of
the ease is the mammoth jam of ice, logs
and debris at Swans Island at the head
of Merrymeetng bay, and the solid ice
intervening between that point and the
sea which with heavy rains, he says, will
break up the thinner ice that has formed
above and increase this already formid-
able dam, cause the water to flow back
and flood the river valley TO An extent
fearful to contemplate. He advises the
opening of "A channel through Merry
meeting bay to the open water and says
il should be begun at once. He says the
situation is further endangered by The
ice aud jams above Scion. We do not
think the fears of Mr.. Randall are enter
tanned by up-river people in regard to
the Jams above Scion as it is expected
they will be melted gradually and pass
out without damage. 1t is certainly not
to be expected that we shall have As
hours continuous rain again this spring,
although it is not, of course, impossible.
such rains fortunately are exceptional.
At meeting of lumbermen, mill
owners, ice cutters and municipal officers
of towns and cities along the kennebee
from Augusta 80 Richmond the matter
of breaking up the big jam at Swans
Island was discussed and ii committee
appointed to investigate the situation
and 60 ahead with the project if they see
fit. The municipal officers of these
towns and cities were made a committee
to collect the necessary funds from
property owners. 1t was estimated that
1000 would do the work.
