Forestry i'm Maine.

Miss Louise NJ. Coburn of this town,
chairman of the Forestry committee, who
was in attendance upon the Maine FEEDER
alton OF Women's Clubs at Lewiston, last
week, is the author of the memorial to be
presented to the coming legislature in the
interests of forestry. The report is as
follows:
The Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs respectfully presents to the legis-
lature of the State of Maine the following
memorial, as a body Of women devoted to
the best interests of our State. and anx-
ious for its advancement in beauty, intell-
igence and prosperity, we are led to give
earnest thought to the study OF Forestry.
We cannot but be convinced that the
prosperity of Maine would pass with the
passing Of her forests.
We ask that you grant sufficient APP
preparation for the department of forestry,
so that trained forester can be employ
ed who shall give his entire time to the
study Of Maine forestry.
We also ask that you make an appro-
priation for department OF forestry in
the University of Maine.

Dear Sir: 10 making pastoral visits,
of course, you do not consider your pleas.
ure or comfort or ease; you go where
your people live But you have two sets
of feelings in going about-can't help il
we ali have. But you especially have
for part of your business is sympathy.
Well-kept lawns and wel-tilled fields,
nice homes and nice people, are cheerful
to you, as they are to everyone. Tum.
ble-down buildings, poor fences, men
harrassed by burdens too heavy for them,
oyerworked women and dirty-faced
children, you may be strong to get on
with but you would be more than hui

Paint divides the two sorts of people
one paints, and the other don't. Or,
perhaps, the thrifty paint well; the un.

To paint well is to keep paint sound.
There are two ways to do it; one is
bound to paint often; the other to use
good paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as to paint lead and oil; for De-

more-indeed 1t costs less, but not much
less.

At Washington

The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
went out for drive in an open landau
at 11.30 o'clock Monday morning. For
the first time since his illness the Presi-
dent reached his carriage unassisted.
Instead of being carried down stairs in
an invalid chair he came down on
erutches. He held up his injured limb
SO that the foot did not touch the
ground. A large crowd in front of the
house applauded as he took his seat in
the carriage.
The monthly report of the statiscian
of the department of agriculture shows
the average condition of corn, Oct. l, to
have been 1915, as compared with 81 3,
last month, and III the mean OF the
October averages of the last ten years,
The preliminary estimate of the average
yield per acre of spring wheat is ID a
bushels, subject to revision when the
final wheat estimate is made. AS to
apples, eight states report condition
above the mean October average for the
last seven years ranging from 8 to y
points, while six report from to Il
points below Names condition is given
at II points above the mean.

Despite labor controversies, fuel short
age and light money, favorable symp-
toms still predominant, says Dun in his
review of the business outlook for last
week. That these drawbacks have not
seriously checked industrial progress
testifies to the strong position attained
during recent months of uninterrupted
activity and growing confidence. Manu-
featuring plants dependent upon steam
for motive power are finding profits
curtailed by the high prices for fuel,
and, unless normal conditions are soon
restored, it will be necessary to secure
better quotations for products. The
problem of adequate transportation is
also disturbing, as there is already con-
gestion in the coke region. When an
thracite coal mining is fully resumed
and grain shipments attain expected
dimensions, the railroads will fiud great
difficulty in meeting all requirements.
Railway earnings in September were "a
per cent larger than last year and 2O.2
per cent in excess of 1900.

The High School Reception.

Among the most delightful social
functions of the year are to be included
the High school receptions. That of
Friday evening was no exception; in
fact, many who have attended these
occasions regularly have pronounced it
the most enjoyable they have known
for long time. Milburn Hall, always
appropriate for receptions, looked its
prettiest. Generous streamers of Or
ange and black bunting swung low from
the center and corners of the room.
Gaily colored autumn leaves, ferns,
palms and potted plants were used to
advantage in decorating, and colored
electric lights from the rear and sides OF
the hall added TO the effect.

brought down the house. Their CO.'S
tunes were of the most original order.
Miss Smiths solo was warmly applaud
ed, and she responded with brilliant
selection which displayed the fine quail
tiles of her voice to the best advantage.
Refreshments of fruit punch and
waters were served by Miss Minnie
Brown and Miss Bessie Allen. After
the completion of the program the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
dancing.

sisted of Percy Wyman, Ralph Bailey,

A Substantial Street.


judgment, Street Commissioner Webb
is doing first class Job at bodybuilding
on West Front street.
Ii will be remembered that the recon-
struction and matchmaking of this
piece of town way from near Lumsden's
Corner to the foot of Goodwin hill was
given large amount OF consideration
at three town meetings with investigs-
ton by committee and experts and that
estimates to put the road In first class
condition varied from $4,000 to $4,000
At the last town meeting, a special one,
the sum of So, 800 was appropriated for
this street, the conereting of the side
walk to be left until next season In or
der to give the foundation for this walk
time to settle, thoroughly.
TIE piece of street under eonsidera-
tion ie about 500 feet long and the re-
building of it involved the elevating of
the road way from one to three feet, its
widening and the elevation and removal
railway track southerly some or feet
also the building of wall on the bank
of the kennebee river to protect the
street and sidewalk from freshets, which
had at times overlooked il and caused
considerable damage.
The building of the river wall was one
of the things which caused variation 10 the
estimates. The plan finally adopted was
to build heavy "battenn wall of field
boulders and common field stones, be.
ginning far enough below the surface to
get sure foundation and soping from
the waters edge to the surface of the
sidewalk where 1t is surmounted 10y
heavy split granite curbing. This
wall is faced with concrete aud ce-
ment, is a solid looking wall from 8 to
feet thick and in the center from base
rock to top not far from % feet high,
measured on the slope. This wall /:
466 feet in length and looks as though
it would protect the street from any
possible danger or damage from the
floods of the Kennebec. A railing made
of two inch iron piping for standards
drilled into the granite curbing with q
rail of the same on the top and three
strands of wire lengthwse between thu
rail and the granite, makes very dura.
BILE and neat railing.
The whole width of the street and
walk from outside to outside including
the track of the S. & n. railway is 4;
feet, that from the inner rail of the rail,
way track to the ditch or the inner side
o. the sidewalk, the drive way, is 80 feet
| This job also includes the widening OF
West Front street for some 200 feet al
each end, the construction of 100 feet OF
sewer, and the cutting down of Turner
Avenue to secure material for filling.
Commissioner Webb has begun the
work of matchmaking this piece Of
street. He has quite quantity of stones
for grinding on hand, fortunately bought
his coal early in the season and has it or
hand to do this crushing. 1t is heavy
piece of work and will take about 35(
loads of rocks to cover the space beside:
ground rocks to go on the surface. He
expects to complete the job within three
weeks.
