Capt. Willard w. Mills of Rockland.
Maine served three years in the L. S.
Navy, while the Civil War was in
progress, yet was not even remotely
connected with the activities of that
great conflict. Nevertheless, he
counts that experience as the red let
ter period of his "a years on the ocean
wave. Capt. Mills was one of the 400
men drafted for service on the frigate
Constellation. 1t was the duty of
this frigate, during the civil War to
carry Old Glory into foreign ports,
demonstrating To other countries that.
though torn asunder by civil conflict.
America still had place among the
world powers The Constellation
visited ports of Europe. Asia and
Africa, making one of the most re-
markable peace voyages ever made by
an American warshp. Capt. Mills
was born in NinalhaVen Dec. s, 1898.
The family consisted of 10 boys and 6
girls. He has served more than half
a century at sea, and has figured in
but one disaster He modestly claims
to have crossed Penobscot bay more
times than any other man. For 81
years he was in the packet business,
and averaged at least one trip a day,
which makes his total 81 times 800.
with many extra trips thrown in for
good measure.

Cottle Hill, in Phillips, has long been
known to automobilists as the most
dangerous place found anywhere be-
tween Boston and Rangeey. There is
a steep grade. very sharp turn.
where one can see only rod or two
ahead, Very narrow roadway and a
winding brook which crosses the road
twice in the length of the hill. This is
known as Cottle brook. and has many
times overlooked. causing bad wash
outs which are extremely dangerous to
automobiles. Now the town of Phil
lips has decided to make extensive al
terationS as soon as the frost is out of
the ground. The bed of the brook
will be changed. and the corner of the
hill cut down, and the road straight
ened and widened, so that approach
ing teams and automobiles may be
seen in either direction. This will
largely overcome the dangerous con-
ditions which have SO long existed.
This road eventually will be part of
the State road from Pennington to
Rangeley.

Mike, the frolicsome dog of Cyrus
Hubbard of Belfast, formed the bad
habit of darling in front of locomo-
tive at the Maine Central station,
where trains were being made up. and
waggishly defying the engine to catch
him. He was warned and shooed
away many times. but delighted in the
pastime of showing the big iron horse
how nimble he was. On Monday,
while at his frisky gambol with death,
the engine scored one, and Mike will
wag no more.

COMPROMISE PLAN
SUGGESTED IN MAINE.
LIQUOR AGITATION
Dry Law or Local Option for
Towns; License Provis-
ion for Cities.

AUGUSTA, Me, Sept. A.-Politicans
are now discussing a way IN which they
believe they can satisfy the rural dis.
tricts and the cities at the same time
on the liquor question, by suggesting an
other constitutional amendment. The
amendment would provide that state
wide prohibition be continued and the
manufacture apd sale be prohibited
except in cities and towns Of certain
size.
To provide still further for towns that
might not be satisfied with this ar
rangement, It is suggested that a clause
might be inserted enabling any rural
town, on petition of fifty per cent Of
its voters to the legislature, to be given
the privilege of voting upon the ques-
ton Of local option. 1t is even limited
that a special session of the legislature
in order to submit these amendments,
is a possibility.

How Many Men
Keep Youthful
CFrom The Social Register. }


1t is we'll known that within recent
years the men have become extensive
patrons of beauty specialists and
masSeurs. Not only the fastidious
but men generally who have a care for
personal appearance. This has also
led to the employment by many OF
means calculated to enhance or pre-
serve physical attractiveness, espe-
cially by those who abhor beauty
parlors."
OF these. perhaps the most widely
used is ordinary mercolized wax
which explains the mystery. of the
silver haired gentleman with the
boyish face. The mercolized wax. OBJ
tainable at any drugstore, is applied
after shaving the same as cold cream,
only not rubbed in. This gradually
absorbs the dead and half-dead cuticle
in tiny particles. revealing the fresh
er, healthier-hued skin beneath. To
secure best results many apply the
wax at night, washing 1t of in the
morning. Women not only encourage
husbands in this. but use the treat
ment themselves.

PROGRESS|VES ENTRY
into NEW ENGLAND
CAUSES BAD MXUP
Bay State Republican Ma
chine Is Threatened With
/ a Hard Jolt.
By JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

The incursion of Medin Mccormick
and Rudolph Spreckels into New England
the past week, representing the anti.
Taft Presidential movement, has re-
suited in accentuating the complications
OF difficult political situation in Mas
sachusetts.
The Bay State will hold its State
wide primary election-the first under
the new law-on Tuesday. in anticipa.
ton Of the event, Republican affairs
are in awful turmoil. The Lodge ma
chine candidate for governor is Louis
rockingham. present lieutenant gov
ernor. Opposing him are Joseph Wal
ker, progressive speaker Of the assem-
bly,, and Norman White. Whether the
people will get out and vote at the pri-
mary is the first great uncertainty.
Machine Is Threatened.
Mr.. Mccormick, who returned today
from his New England trip, expressed
the opinion that if the people attend the
primary and do business, the machine
may receive a shock as the result The
Democrats will nominate Governor Foss
for another term, and II is generally eX-
pected he will be elected.
OF greatest concern to the pI oppressive
Republicans is the fact that The Demo-
Gratis will put in their platform a de-
mand for a Presidential preference pri-
mary law. That is what the progress
sives want. II the regular Republicans
don't indorse it, too, they will have a
hard time capturing the Legislature; II
they do indorse IT, and then execute
the pledge next winter In the Legisla-
ture, they will have a hard time control
ling the State for Tart under il.
Either way they turn, as Mr.. McCor-
mick views the situation, they have
trouble ahead.
Brandeis for La Toilette.
Another occasion Of great concern to
the organization Republicans, is the
declaration Of Louis D. Brandeis in IA
vor Of Senator La Toilette. Mr.. Bran
Geis has a big independent following OF
Republicans and Democrats alike. He
helped the Fos5 Democrats draft sor'e
Of their advanced legislation. and then
he turned around and went up to New
Hampshire to hello the Bass progressive
Republicans frame their measures. Mr..
Brandeis is a bit hard to locate as to
craftsmanship. but not rs to Views, or as
to influence and following. He Is
DANGEROUS man when he gets active Tor
what he believes. and he Is threatening
to be abnocmally active. even for him.
In two or three weeks we will have
a big, strong, working, effective organi-
.zation doing business for the progress
sive cause in Massa chusetts," declared
Mr.. Mccormick. You ought to see the
crowd Of voung men who are lining up
for US. They are largely men who
have taken a small part in mechine
iOolitIcs: but they are not novices They
are the people who have forced munici-
pal reforms in many cities and towns;
who have got new and advanced char
tiers for their cities. cleaned up bad
conditions, and adopted the Independent
course in order to get results. They are
for U.S. and are going to make the night
mighty interesting before II is over.
