FIRE AT BAY RIDGE.
Woods Burning Last Night Caused
Some Alarm.

The pine woods at Bay Ridge, near

furiously.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from a camp fire of some picnicers on

ly in the underbrush.
The fire Lighted up Arundel and the
surrounding country and at first caused
considerable alarm. Had the wind

WaterFamine!


1t is with regret that this Company
is again called upon to warn it's pa
irons in the careful use of water. Our
storage supply is completely exhaust
ed, so that we are pumping into our
reservoirs alone the daily supply run
ming from our streams, which is di-
minishing day by day. Many rains
fallen in Annapolis have passed by our
wter sheds entirely. A personal in
spection of our plant reveals the fact
that our supply TODAY is lower than
at any time during the drouth of last
year.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that all street and lawn sprinkling be
discontinued. While the public has
cordially co-operated with this Com
pany towards this end, it is a regret
able fact that some persons still con-
tinue to sprinkle their lawns, gardens
and streets, utterly unmindful of the
injury they are working the com
munity.
No charge will be made for street
or lawn service from July /, 1911, un-
til further notice.
1t is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
that this appeal be STRICTLY and
HONESTLY OBSERVED.

# MEN ALL RIGHT WHEN
WORKED"
so Miss COmNtock Speaks at SHOW he.
gan Grange Wednesday Evening.

That the men are all right when
they are properly worked was the
comforting assurance that Professor
Laura Comstock of the University OF
Maine, gave to the maids and matrons
of Skowhegan Grange during her lee
ture Wednesday. Miss Comstock in
sisted that it was no more than sensi-
Bile and fair that the labor saving de-
vices of the field and barn should
have their counterparts in the kitchen
While not exactly advising any mill
tant campaign for the up to date
equipment, she advised the home MAX
ers make up their minds as to what
they needed. and then keep after them
until they arrived.
Miss Comstock' S lecture was the big
feature of the whole program, and
it was a revelation to a great many
that science could be so utilized to
tighten the burdens of the home
maker. Miss Comstock first took up
the subject of food values, and with
the aid of a series of wall charts,
pointed out the different ways that the
high cost of living problem could be
more easily met. Then she took up
the question of indoor management, to
show that in many cases the oppor
tunities for labor saving devices and
methods were as great there as out of
doors. The lecture was followed by
all with closest attention, and when
/ Miss Comstock said in closing The
home makers of America are the max
ing of the nation" the applause
showed that she had made one of the
biggest hits of the year.
Several musical numbers by the
grange quartette and a solo by Miss
Winnifred Gardner completed the
evenings entertainment. Two candi-
dates were elected to receive the sew
eral degrees, and six applications were
brought in. 1t was voted To have the
supper scheduled for Nov 29th on the
18th instead. A proposition from the
commissioner Of agriculture for a
farmers institute in this section, got a
very cold reception and was laid upon
the table.

|. Levi c. Emery, one of the towns

stock, and then she took up the sub
Ject OF vegetable cookery and meat
substitutes. The latter proved es-
pecially timely on account of the pre-
vailing high cost of living. The var
ious dishes that were prepared by
way of demonstration were: boiled
beets with acid sauce; nut brown
bread made of graham and white
flour with English walnuts nut loaf
as a substitute for meat loaf; potato
soufile without eggs; squash with
cheese and tomato sauce a la cas-
serole; and spaghetti with peanuts.
The nutritive value of each combina-
ton, as we'll as of the component
parts was all explained, as we'll as
the advantages of the particular
methods of cooking followed Many
ideas of great value, that were new
to the practical ladies present, were
brought out by the lecturer, and ques-
tions were frequent at all stages of
the program. Miss Comstock was the
guest of Mrs. Lois Patten while in
town, and it was mainly through the
initiative of the latter that Sorosis en-
joyed the treat

esteem of his parishioners to an un-
usual degree. Substantial additions
to the membership list have been
made, and every part of the church
activities has fiourished. In addition
to his work in Skowhegan, Mr.. Hay
ward has also conducted the services
at the Extraordinarily church, where
excellent results have followed Be-
fore coming to Maine Mr.. Hayward
held pastorate in Shanadoah, Va,
where the church membership was
600. In Maine he has had charges In

Some of the latest ideas in cookery

at the meeting of the Sorosis in the
library parlors Wednesday afternoon.
Then by way of rounding out the af-

dainty and delectable dishes. Their
subsequent comments left no room for
doubts as to the success of the entire
affair.
This meeting was the first on the

CONDITIONS GOOD At
CITY FARM
Olin Bridges is Now the
Superintendent
There Has Been Good Yield of Crops
and Everything Looks Prosperous.

According to a report given out
from the selectmen's office on Wednes-
day, Skowhegan has a smaller number
Of panpers at the poor farm than at
any time since the place was pur-
chased more than twenty years ago.
This decline in attendance is attri-
buted entirely to the generally pros
porous condition of the community
for the inmates Of the big white house
on the river road all bur reyeI in the
fat Of the land Owing to i'll health,
James ". Tuttle who has served SO
acceptably as superintendent for sey-
eral years, resigned August 18th, and
Olin Bridges Was appointed as his
successor. Mr.. Bridges has just com
pleted the harvest Of what Mr.. Tuttle
planted which included sixteen acres
Of oats, two acres of sweet corn, one
and one half acres of potatoes, one
and one half acres of beans, one acre
of field corn and a big kitchen gar
den. About fifty tons of first quality
hay was put into the big barn before
Mr.. Tuttle left This will help feed
the herd of cattle now numbering 13
head, and the new pair of horses pur-
chased to replace the old team sold
last summer. SkoWhegan now has a
first class team that would be an ad-
dition to any farm. The pair weigh
2500 pounds. Hogs also fill quite a
place in the business operations of the
farm. There are now three brood
sows and % pigs to take care of the
skim milk and other by products The
sows will be fatted and killed this fall
and the pigs along towards spring.
The surplus pork beyond that used in
the house is sold, and brings in a tidy
sum of money each year In fact the
whole farm has been a very salts
factory investment for the town every
year. The cream check alone amount
I'd to S45 for one month this season,
and under the able supervision of the
selectmen the place is being improved
al the time. Last week Mr.. Bridges
improved an opportunity to tap a
'pring on the hillside, and lay 200
'eet of pipe to further enlarge the
water supply. Including the over
scer's salary, clothing and funeral eX-
penses for those that died, the pau
pcrs last year cost the town only $1.41
per week apiece. This record is con-
remarkable by all who are
familiar with such affairs.
