Bowdoinllam will be a lucky town
if that proposition for taking alum
mum from clay becomes the reality
which it now promises to become. 1t
would mean a good deal to the town
which has had hard luck of late with
its industries and everybody hopes that
it will materialize as well as it looks
at the present time. 1t would be a fine
thing to have aluminium classed among
the other products of Sagadahoc coun-
ty.

LAST TRIBUTE
TO A PIONEER

Yesterday afternoon several nun
dred old time friends of Elam Blaine,
the Grand valley pioueer, gathered at
the Christian church TO attend the
funeral. The services were conducted
by Rev. j. II. Elliott, pastor of the
church, and Rev. Strange Brooks, an
old time friend of the deceased.
Beautiful sincere and deserved tri-
butes Were paid TO the memory Of the
departed, tributes that were endorsed
by every man and woman present.
The musical numbers were beautiful
and there were many lovely flowers.
The pail bearers were selected
from among the older residents OF
the valley, men who had known flam
Blaine for many years. The inter-
ment took place AT Orchard Mesa
cemetery.
The memory of this good man who
came 10 the valley more than n omar
ter of a century ago and whose faith
in this section never wavered, VIII
long be cherished by many.

TRACK MEET
IS POSTPONED

owing to the threatening aspect or
the weather and the fact that the
track will be almost too muddy for
fast records, even though the wealth
er cleared up at once. the big inter-
class field and track meet for the year
1909 of the local high school has
been postponed, probably until Fri
day, though the exact date has not
been announced.
The athletes were in the prime of
shape and most of them had stopped
hard training waiting for the meet,
taking today as day of rest; but,
owing to the postponement, they viii
resume hard work, and, If the meet
is permitted to be held Friday. will
probably be in even better shape.
The excitement and the contest for
the highest honors. class and indi-
vidual and for the silver trophy given
by the News. has been most keen.
and It. will surely be a high class
meet. though the disappointment
among the students. caused by the
postponement. is very great.

Not Afraid.

Personal courage invests its owner
with a protection beyond that afford
ed by outside forces. An Illustration
of this is recorded by Gen. William
f. Draper in his "Recoilections of a
Varied Career" where he gives this
incident:
In 1864 Col. Daniels of the Seventh
Rhode Island became unpopular with
some of his command, and a rumor
spread that he would be shot at the
next engagement. He heard of it.
1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank, and Col. Daniels took advan-
tage OF this. Marching his regiment
out with loaded rifles, he faced them
toward a suitable elevation, and TAX
ing position on the top of it, and
in front of them as at dress parade,
he gave the commands, Ready, Aim,
Fire, and the pieces were discharged.
Needless to say, any man could
have shot him with little danger OF
discovery, and needless to say, also,
none of them did. There were no
more threats of that kind in his regi-
ment.-Youth's Companion.

GOLDEN KEY TO CHILD'S MIND

A Chicago school and home visitor
tells this story: MARY was the ter.
ror of her teachers and her compan-
ions. 1t was fight, fight from morning
until night. She threw erasers and
books at her teachers and at the other
was a problem. When | visited her
home l found Mary was the little
drudge, doing all the work and caring
for the sick mother. We found work
for the boys out of work, sent the lit
tie ones to kindergarten and moved
the family into a new locality. Mary's
new teachers were willing to help
make a new girl of her. One morning
when l visited her school Mary came
to me and whispered: Miss B, l want
to tell you something all by yourself
where no one can hear us. 1t is some
thing you must not tell anyone ]
took Mary off by herself and she
looked at me with an expression ]
shall not soon forget and said: Mis-

AUTOMATIC LAW ENFoRcEF
An ingenious Apparatus for the lido
torist Who Desires
Safety.

Vice-Consul H. M. Byington, at Bris
tol, reports as follows concerning 8
new British apparatus which controls
the speed of motor cars:
According to the published descrip
ton of q practical trial, the device
automatically nov the clutch
when the speed Of the car slight!
exceeds the arranged limit and when
necessary the brake is also automatic
ally applied until the rate is reduced
just below the limit. The brake is
then quickly but gently removed and
the clutch again put in. A semaphore
is automatically raised to warn the
driver when he is approaching the
maximum. The mechanism, which
fits in a compact aluminium box and
works in oil, takes very little space.
1t is put in action or cur of gear in
an instant, and there is no need to
stop or slow down the car while this
is being done. The apparatus can
be locked up so that the driver of a
car cannot exceed the speed desired
by the owner.
Every effort was made on the trial
to get the car to exceed the limit,
which was set for 16 miles an hour.
On coming to a fairly steep hill the
engine was allowed full power and
the a instantly started to gain
speed. But as soon as the limit was
reached the brakes were applied
strenuously, as if by magic Though
no sudden jar was e~xperienced), and
the engine merely raced without the
slightest effect on the car, the speed
being maintained at the 1G-mile rate

Mrs. Lou Ella Stewart was in.

and consecrated child of God as

to meet. She possessed that
faith in God that moves to loving
service, and she realived that to
serve God she must serve the
creature whom He loved, and to

Christ she must love men, and
so she was forgetful of herself
when she could serve the needs
and pleasures of others. AS a
