er before that time, will start next Mon

main job of the winter will be the one at
Moosehead.
O. c. Ward of Cherryfed, has con-
tracted to furnish 10000 ties for the new
Washington county railroad. He will
put II men at work on township 81 next

Der for the veneer mill at Greenville and
Packard Il Sawyer are numbering on the
Wilson river near there.
Lumber operations on the Roach River
water this season are fairly extensive,
although light harvest is looked for in
the Moosehead Lake region generally.
W. l.. Rogers of Greenville, Is operating
on the second and third Roach Ponds,
employing about seventy-five men and
will cut this winter in the vicinity of
1900, 900 feet. ID. j. Rowell of Skowhe-

intimately associated with numbering in
the Moosehead region. M. G. Shaw, the

where one of his sons, A. f., is also To-
Gated, and where they operate an extern

Some years ago young man of a sub
urban town near Boston attached sail to
lawn mower and clipped his lawn by
wind power. But here is something later.
A lawn mower which is driven by a gas
oline engine has been made and used by a
New York man, The operator sits on top
and steers, while the machine cuts swath
almost equal to that of moving machine.
The advantage over horsepower mower
is that the soft turf is not trampled Upon
and torn by the hoofs of the horses. Pos
sibly the idea will be applied to farm now
ing machines.

An Old Tax Receipt.

Mr.. Horace Stlson exhibits to us a
receipt for taxes reading vs. follows:
Received, this Is h day of Jan'y, 1917,
from job Young, the sum of Al cents,
being the amount of the Direct Tax of
1916 assessed upon the property of said
Young in the town of Madison, in the
fifth Collection District In the State OF
Massachusetts.
JOHN GOULD,
Deputy Collector for the Fifth Collec.
ton District, in the State Of Massachu-
sets.
Mr.. Young then lived on the farm now
occupied by Horace Stilson. He had lbs
acres of land and some stock and this
tax was evidently what now corresponds
to the State tax. 1t certainly was very
small one for the amount Of property
assessed.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
Little arithmetical problems with a
"catch" in them are always fascinating
to the average man. No matter how sim
pie they appear, you will find the banker
and the broker disputing over them on
Change or in the counting rooms Of the
capitalists. Here are one or two that have
been floating around among the business
men of Cincinnati for two or three weeks:
A banker found ten-dollar bill. AT home
he gave it to his vile, who paid the butch
er in settlement of his account. The
butcher paid it to the farmer for a calf
and the farmer paid it to the merchant.
who In turn paid it 10 the washerwoman
and she, owing the banker note of SO
went to the banker and paid the note. The
banker recognized the bill as the one he
had found and which up to that time had
settled $50 Of debt. On a careful examina-
ton he found the bill was counterfeit. OF
course the problem is, who lost in the
Transaction"
Here's another but along a different line,
and they do say that men who are way
up in local finance were dlsputng over the
question on Change, though it is ex-
tremely simple: A man bought horse and
buggy for $40. The horse cost 800 more
than the buggy. What did the buggy cost
the owner? That's easy, but don't go to
work 10 figure it by algebra.
There's one more, a very old one, but
it's good and not near as easy as the 9TH
ers. A man went into a shoemakers shop
and bought pair of shoes for So. He gave
the shoemaker a SO bill. The shoemaker
had no change but went to a neighbor
and got the ten changed. He returned and
gave the purchaser his change, $. A short
time afterward the neighbor came in and
claimed the ten was counterfeit. As he
was right, the shoemaker was compelled
to make the ten good, which he did by
giving a good ten for the counterfeit. Now.
how much was the shoemaker out in the
whole transaction.
