At recent public meeting in Minneapolis
to raise fund to start an Art Museum, a
former Belfast man, Mr.. W. K Morrison, con-
tr1buted $500. The amount raised was 100000.
Some one sent US last week copy of the
Hudson, Mass, News Enterprise containing an
illustrated account of the dedication of tie
new State armory, said to be "the greatest
event in Hudson's history" Hudson is the
present home of W. W. Merrill, formerly of
this city, and we suspect that he is the guilty
party. The News Enterprise is well named,
for it is strong in local news and has goodly
amount of local advertising

THE WALDO TRUST Co. Mr.. James H
Howes, President of the Waldo Trust Co., in
recent interview in regard to the reported
sale of the Augusta Trust Cos holdings in the
Waldo Trust Co., confirmed the report, and
stated that Maynard S. Bird & Co., Bankers.
located at Portland and Rockland, have pur-
chased the majority of the stock of the Waldo
Trust Co. In answer to the question as to
whether there will be any change in the local
directors, he stated that undoubtedly the men
representing the Augusta Trust Co.'S interests
will be replaced by local business men, The
officers of the Waldo Trust Co. believe that
this change of ownership will be of local bene-
fit, and it is the intention of the new interests
to have a largely local ownership of the stock
The present conservative policies of the bank
will be continued, and everything will be done
to make the bank of local value to the COM
munity. Before purchasing the stock, Messrs.
Bird & Co. made thorough examination of
financial condition.

of Trustees of the Waldo Trust Co., held
Tuesday, January 18th, Mr.. Frank r. Wiggin,
