SMART WEAR FOR
RAINY WEATHER
Waf Never More Taut end
Suitable Than Now.

Ye fastidious woman is known bv
her rainy weather outfit for travelling
in general and the open car in par
ticular, forall her belongings will be
entirely practical withal eminently
smart and trim. Instead of the bulky
and burdensome waterproof of past
years and headgear obviously intended
for bright days covered With a flimsv
veil, she will wear the specially de,
yised coat and hood or rain-resisting
caps that the puryeyors have invented
for her.
The new waterproof travelling and
motor coats are as beautiful as a
satin garment and look exactly like
one.
Black.
The all-black suit is an eccentric
but potent fancy. Moreover, they are
so soft and light that they can b
rolled UP and put into a tiny hand
bag like a cushion, and capable of be-
ing used as such, if desired.
The straight silhouette that is SO
much admired is followed in the cut
Of the coats; nevertheless there is am
pie material in them, so that while
seated in the car the skirt is covered
completely and there is no chance Of
treacterous trickles of rain penetrat-
ing to the toilette beneath Hidden
pleats are responsible for this desira7
BILE state of affairs.
Pockets.
Many clever ideas are also manifest
ed in the arrangement of pockets
easily to be found and of real prac-
| teal service. Pockets in the sleeves
are very useful for the small hand
kerchief or a tiny purse, and the slit
side, with it's hidden pocket, is another
IcontriWance that is of service.

NEW POWER STATION
At No. ANSON
Franklin |. and P. Co.
Complete Enterprise
Twist OF the Wrist Turns on Light or
Power in Pennington.

The Franklin Light & Power Com
pahy of Pennington will finish the
new generating station at North An
son this week Two years of time
and 100000 in money have been eX-
pended on this enterprise for carry
ing the power of the Carrabassett riy-
er sixteen miles over the hills into
the beautiful shire town of Franklin
County. There the twist of the wrist
will turn on light, heat or power as
may be desired and make life just so
much more worth the living for
Pennington people.
Not but that Pennington has had
electric lights before, but the quality
of the service was low and the price
high steam plant erected by Con-
necticut promoters has been in opera
ton there for some years but the citi-
zens will rejoice as it goes out of
commission. Many are already wir
ing their houses in anticipation of
the new service and the fixtures are
in place in the several schools in
GLIDING the State Normal and the Lit
tie Blue.
Samuel Tarbox OF Pennington is
president of the company, S. o. Stur-
teyant treasurer and general manag-
er, while Engineer George Farnham
has had charge of the construction of
the plant. Log driving on the Cara
bassett has kept the water high each
year, making an early start impossi
BILE and greatly protracting the work
Seventy-fye men have been employed
at times, but usually the construction
gang has averaged about twenty.
Erection OF the dam and pole line
was all that was accomplished last
year, and digging the $50 rod canal
lasted until long after the log driy-
ing this season. With the advent of
low water then the power house was
put up in hurry The bulkhead,
wheel pit. and foundation are all one
huge box of concrete 35X45 surmount-
ed by the trim brick superstructure of
the same size. This was built under
contract by j. L. Parker d Son of
Fairfield.
Two steel tubes feet in diameter
bring the water into the wheel pit,
and inside of each is a pair of tur-
bines. These will take the entire nor
NAL flow of the stream and generate
a total of 500 horse power The ex-
IRENE height to which the Carrabas-
sett rises during freshets made it
necessary to avoid the usual plan of
connecting the dynamos to the shafts
of the water wheels. Instead they are
located on the floor above. and con-
nected up by means of bolts Each
unit is entirely independent of the
other, 30 that no trivial mishap can
interrupt the service.

Cobbosseecontee's New Lighthouse.

Dr. George w. Bailey OF Philadel-
phia, who has built lighthouse on
Turtle rock, Cobbosseecontee lake,
will formally present 1t to the Cob
bossee navigators and maintain 1t as
beacon light for the guidance OF
the mariners at that treacherous
point. The tower is built of solid
rock foundation with a base of ce-
ment about three feet high, into which
massive iron rods are placed and
bolted to hold the building which Is
built out of cedar. 1t Is hexagonal in
shape. 1t is ten feet across the base
and rises 40 feet, the lanterns being
reached by an iron stairway which
lands the climber upon a platform
enabling one to walk entirely around
the structure. The whole Is rustic
in its makeup in full keeping with
the natural surroundings of the is
land, which 1t has for background.
Frank Collins did the mechanical part
of the work, but DR.. Bailey was his
own architect and superintended the
work throughout. The light will be
another beauty spot on Cobbosseecon-
tee and those who traverse that beau
tiful body of water in the hundreds
Of pleasure craft will fully appreciate
the generosity Of the donor.

SHERIFF. JOHN MOOERS
STILL V|G|LANT
Legal Arm of Old Somerset Con-
tinues to Gather in Enemies of
Law.

Sheriff John A. Mooers heard on
Tuesday afternoon, August %, that
there was some liquor selling and
disorder at Moose River near Bling
ham. Wednesday afternoon the gull
ty party began two months sojourn
in the county Jail Thus does the le-
gal arm of old Somerset continue to
gather in the enemies of peace and
prosperity right on the eve of cleo
ton.
The information that came to Sher-
if Mooers was that an old offender
was again peddling fire water that
several men were quarreling drunk
and that one had narrowly escaped
being shot. By the time the officers
had arrived the miscreants were not
to be seen, but some good detective
work traced them to a local dance
hall. When rounded up they testified
that the liquor had been sold by
Henry Gilblair, whom the sheriff had
sent up twice previously. He was
promptly arraigned before Judge
Daniel Stewart at Bingham, found
guilty, and sentenced to serve two
months in Jail
Mrs. Gilbert, the wife of Vide Gil
bert, who is now under sentence for
violation of the liquor law, was found
guilty of a sale by Judge F. F. Law
renee in the Municipal court Wednes-
day and sentenced to pay a fine of
$50, or serve 80 days in Jail.

WORK GODS GREAT
BOON To MAN
The More You Work the Better You
Will Like 1t.

The following article came from
one of our old subscribers which We
publish with pleasure:
"A short time ago l saw an &C
count of a boy that came from the
country away back. He had never
seen an automobile, an electric car
or railroad train, and when the good
people of the city asked him if he
was on his vacation he did not know
what they meant, and when they ask
ed him what he did at home he said
he worked and went fishing. This boy
was l6 years old and the good people
of the city pitied and petted this
as they thought poor boy-and they
told him what a hard life he had led
and it was a terrible thing for a boy
to work and that he ought to have
been at play instead of at work and
that boys never ought to work but
that they ought to play all the time
and ride in automobiles and go on
idCdtloAo anu udNo iOto VI luh anu
that all work and no play makes
Jack dull boy.
That boy was happy and contented
before he came to the city and the
chances are that he will go back un-
happy and discontinued and before a
year the chances are he will leave
home and go to the city where he
will expect to find all the good things
he has been told about and where he
will become a good for nothing lazy
lout and will gradually develop into
wandering Willie and will finally
bring up in Sing Sing or some other
strong box.
Don't for PHYS sake ever tell a
boy or man either that it's hardship
to work. Tell every man and boy,
too, that it Is a God-given boon to
humanity to be obliged to work. |
remember we'll when l was boy Is
years old | had never seen an auto
mobile or an electric car or a train
of steam cars. | had worked every
day for years and had enjoyed every
minute. | did not, like the other boy,
work and go fishing. l simply work
ed and | did not have lot of over
good people to tell me that / ought
to be playing instead of working. At
that time-60 years ago-everybody
worked and father, too, and they
were happier and more contented
than they are today. Everybody was
as rich or as poor as everybody else
and Jones did not envy Smith be-
cause Smiths auto cost a thousand
dollars more than his. The chances
were that Jones had a horse worth
about $500 and Smith had one worth
about $26 and there wasn't difference
enough to make either jealous or I'M
happy What | want to say to the
boys; Don't think you are unhappy
because you have to work. Work and
work hard. 1t won't hurt you and
remember that you have a right to
mink what you please of a person
who tells you that 1t is a hardship
10 work. The moer you work the
better you will like 1t and remember,
100 that every dollar earned and kept
at compound interest will be $500
IN less than so years.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
To me that for the sake of other suffer
inc women / am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter. MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteville, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pnkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay says, it is worth noun
tains of gold" to suffering women.
