FREEDOM ACADEMY.
The New Dormitory for Girls.


Probably no fitting school in the State has
more reason to rejoice than has Freedom
academy, which will open to its young lady
students the new girls dormitory at the be-
ginning of the fall term.
For many years it has been difficult to
fad in private homes sufficient rooms for
students and after the burning of Hotel
Maine and the Billings house, the matter
assumed serious phase.
The trustees of the academy, however,
rallied to the emergency and with the aid OF
a $1,000 appropriation from the State legls-
lature, supplemented by an equal cOntribu-
ton from interested citizens, have erected a
model school home that will easily accom-
modate 40 girls as we'll as the lady teachers
of the school.
The site chosen is that of the old Hotel
Maine, on the corner of Main and High
streets.
AS one approaches the dormtory he is i'm
pressed with the substantlabillty as well as
the grace of the structure. The building is
One-half stories high. The Mansard roof,
mullioned windows and wide verandas on
the street sides, combine to make the exter-
nal appearance OF the structure architect
urally perfect.
The basement contains a dining room
Will SedJluS CdpdCltl lOl loO pei oOuos d
large kitchen, store room and wOOdShed.
On the first floor are reception room,
library and six other rooms for matron,
teachers, and students. The second and
third floors contain 16 rooms, each 12x15
feet. These rooms are all high-poSted, light,
well ventilated and provided with large
clothes presses.
The attic room, lighted by two dormer
windows, will be used as trunk room.
The architect is C. E. Hutchins of Free
dom; the contractors, Fitzgerald Bros. of
Watervllle; the building committee from
the trustees, DR.. A. Nj. Small, A. b.
Sparrow and George E. Bryant. That all
of the work has been done in most
thorough manner is apparent to even the
most cursOry observer.
Freedom academy will open its 73rd year
Tuesday, Sept LIST, under the principalshlp
of A. E. Linscott Probably no other fitting
school has made more rapid strides during
the last decade. Graduates of the academy
are at present attending Harvard, BoWdoip,
bates, Colby, U. of Nj, and the higher ill.,
situations of learning.
In athletic sports the school has acquired
an enviable record. The base ball team of
1908 was the winner of nine games out of
the IL played.
The academy will open this fall with the
largest entering class in its history.-Ban-
gor Commercial.

disease, requires constitutional treatment.

directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of

The prohibition wave IN the West and
South, of which so much has been heard.
while little felt in New England and
the East, is shown by some newly pub
lished statistics of the New York COM
missioner Of excise to be showing itself
in that State. Statistics of the 933
towns since the local option law of 1897
went into effect reveal an unmistakable
increase of the dry area. While the
figures indicate, the New York Sun be-
lieves, no such violent opposition to the
liquor traffic as that shown in the South,
they do show that the no-license system

the voters prefer.-Boston Transcript.

Indies we're long deservedly popular
feature. For some years past we have
had each winter letters from Mrs. Au-
gusta S. Frederick and Mr.. Charles w.
Frederick, written during their win.
ter's sojourn in California, Florida or
New Orleans. For two winters Mrs.
Charles F. Shaw has written most in
teresting letters descriptive of places
visited in California. Mrs. Vesta Davis
Higgins has told of life at military
posts, of travels in the far west, and OF
experiences in the Philippines. Mrs.
Helen A. Packard has favored us with
many interesting articles, with patriotic
poems, and with notes on her new home
in Oregon. Hardly week passes that
we do not hear directly or indirectly
from some of our absent.ones, and such
tidings are always read with interest
by their friends at home. In local his
tory we have been specially favored.
Allen Goodwin has done much to pre-
serve records of the olden days in Wal
do county. Freeman Partridge some
years ago contributed many valuable
articles in this line, and C. G. Roberts,
who has the political history and much
of the personal history of Waldo county
at the nib of his pen, has been most
welcome contributor and will soon have
another illustrated article in The Jour-
nal. In this issue c. S. Griffin, Esq,
has an interesting article on the gene
aology of the Griffin family. Capt. John
o. johnson, whose series on the volun-
teer officers of the U. S. Navy in the
Civil War was read with so much inter-
est, is now publishing new series.
There will also be found in this issue a
very clever little sketch by Mrs. John
C. Bosom, Jr., one worthy of place
in any periodical. This by no means
completes the list of those who have
helped and are helping today to place

That would be a good and sufficient

Ana TlSnG here we WdllI 10 Say CndJ
probably few papers anywhere are as
proud of the quality of their subscribers
as is the Review. Subscribers to the
Review are the most intelligent, public
spirited and good-paying subscribers
that we ever knew local paper to have.
We would not exchange them for any
other subscribers that we ever heard of

These are the sentiments of The
Journal also. Its subscribers have
stood by it Loyalty and never has it
received SO many evidences of appreci-
ton, or such warm commentator, as in
the past six months. That The Journal
has striven earnestly for the moral and
material advancement of this city and
section; that it stands for law and Or
der; that it is the uncompromising foe
of frauds and fakes of every descrip-
ton, its files abundantly testify, and
that policy it will continue to follow.
The Journal is also proud of its con-
tributors and its local correspond

In the letter from Ellery Sedgwick OF
ID. Appleton & Co. to Holman Day ask
ing for an article on prohibition IN
Maine for Appleton's Magazine, one of
the questions Mr.. Day was called upon
to answer is: ''Have savings banks &C
counts grown" They have grown from
ST., 500, 900 in 1850 to $50, 900, 900 in 1907,
and in addition there are 1000, 600 on
deposit in the trust companies, making
a total of savings by Maine people of
$102. 900. 900. exclusive of the deposits
in the savings departments OF the ma
tional banks. In the last ten years
there has been gain of savings OF 100
per cent while the population has in
creased only five per cent. 1t is worthy
Of note here that when the State was
under Democratic rule the deposits in
the savings banks fell off from 49,, O00,
900 to $50, 100000, and when the Repub-
licans regained control they returned
to the former figures. The banking in
situations of Waldo county alone have
on deposit today over three million dol
lars, and no better proof could be given
of the prosperity of our people.
The oxford County Citizen has taken
up and disproved some of the state
ments of D. J. McGillicuddy in recent
campaign speech. The Citizen says that
while it has no use for the beef trust.
or any other trust, Mr.. McGillicuddy
must admit that his friend, the farmer,
can get vastly more money for his beef
today than he could under Democratic
administration. Any Maine farmer
can get 100 per cent. more for good
yoke of oxen today than he could in
1905. Mr.. McGiilicuddy asserted that
prices on beef have gone up and that
wages have not advanced, and the Citi-
zen asks:
Is this true? Have not wages ad-
vanced 100 per cent since 1896? In his
reference to the lumber trust he also
stated that the So received today by
