Work of Oi|iDg the
 Highways Has Begun

The work of oiGng the roads of Ca- naan was begun Saturday morning and those about the center of the village are now under treatment with varied results. The dust has been abated but there ia the usual fault found in Canaan with the stckiness of the oil that IS com plained of wherever the streets are oiled.
 But this is feature that will soon pass away and the bonent that the town will derive from having banished the dust nuisance, will oompensate for present slight annoynnces.
 Liverymen complain that the oil soils their surreys and highly polished vehicles so badly they have temporarily ceased using them, as the varnish washes off with the dirt and oil.

CHURCHS
 SUCCESSFUL FAIR

The ladies guild of Christ church netted $100 from their annual fair, held last Friday afternoon and evening at the town hall. There was goodly att tendance during the day and many handsome articles were sold from the fancy goods table.
 One feature of the occasion was the tulip bed. This was presided over by a number of small. boys en costume, and they did 8 fiouriShing business selling tulips during the afternoon. The ''bed" was an artistic creation and thers was considerable originality spent in its get up by members of Mrs. Pease's class.
 Among those in attendance was n goodly sized party from Pine Grove, which came up with Mir and Mrs George A. Marvin. In the evening the young people enjoyed dancing and all had good time.

MAINE POLITICS WAXING HOT

Maine is in the throeS of a political fight and September 12 must decide the result. It is needless to say that the eyes of the nation will be csntered on the Pine tree state for weeks to come and it is probably that Roosevelt will have hand in the fight.
 The great contest is oyer the election of congressman. The Democrats are hopeful of securing two of these and are straining every nerve to do SO. Aside from the Congressional fight, in- terest oenters in the issue of repeating the constitutional amendment establish ing prohibition. Then, too, the control of the next legislature and the election of governor are matters of considerable interest in the fall campaign.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

Fully 500 national and state banks and trust companies have already made application to be designated as deposi- taries of the postal savings bank funds. Every State in the country is repre- sented on the list, and even far off Porto Rico. It will not, however, be until late in the fall, and perhaps not until the beginning of next year, that the new savings institutions are given their first trial in this country, and then they will be organized only in an experimental way in few cities at the outset. It is not intended to put them in operation at all of the post offices of the country at the start; but if the experiment. works out successfully in the first few places where it is tried they will gradually be extended until the system becomes general.
 It has not yet been decided how man may either put money into or take it out of the postal banks. One of the questions is as to whether the postmasters shall take cash from would-be depositors or whether the latter should first buy stamps to the amount of his intended deposit and have them stuck in 8 book to show the amount of his credit. Another is as to whether an account in ohe of these banks can be checked against, and if so, whether such checks can be honored at national or state bank or will have to be presented at 8 post-offioe window.
 All of these details have to be worked out and finally approved by the board of trustees after they return from their summer vacation.

One Bad Boy.

A correspondent of the New York Sun writes: T have a boy who has absolutely no respect for law, order, property or peace. He destroys the quietness of the house and the neigh borhood at all hours. He ruthlessly smashes all kinds of property that comes to his hands-books, papers, glassware. He has no table manners or politeness. He has repeatedly struck his mother in the face as violently as his strength permitted. He is ad- dicted to drink and never knows when be has enough, and yet his mother and I think he is fine, as he is, and dread the day when he gets old enough to write fool letters for the newspapers like this.

It seems quite probable that Roosevelt will be the next presidential candidate. Indications point that way. It is most logical conclusion. If he will consent to run he will sweep the country. If elected, however, he is likely to be some what handicapped by Democratic COR gross. The trend of the times is in that direction. There will have to be some of the hveliest kind of hustling to make it otherwise. if present indications form criterion for judgment.

TEMPTATION.

Temptation is fearful word. It indicates the beginning of possible series of infinite evils. It is the ringing of an alarm bell whose melancholy sounds may reverberate through eternity. Like the sudden sharp cry of "Fmel' under our win- dows by night, it should rouse US to instantaneous action and brace every muscle to its highest tension.
