Alfred ". Hart of Wilson's Mills was
in town a short time last week. Mr..
Kart saws that the work on the storage
dam OF the AndroscOggin Reservoir CO.,
which. as every one knows, is the big
,sSt tlir. Of the kind in this part of the
soup,-y has been going on we'll all win
ter. Although the dam is not completed.
Ills SO far along that thirty feet of water
will be held this season. This will bring
the water up where il can be used for
the work on a dixie about 500 feet long
which will have TO be built at place on
the west shore of the new lake. Mr.. !
Har, has been deputy sheriff on duty at
the dam during the work so far done.
Reading of a scheme finding favor in
England for improving our present un-
scientific calendar has set David b.
Woodbury. Of this place at work TO devise |
ascheme for the revision of that other |
mixed time-recorder, the clock. Mr..
Woodburys scheme is decidedly radical,
as it starts out by doubling the length of
the second This makes twelve hours OF
double the present length to a complete
day and night. He would have the day
begin al what is now six o'clock in the
morning. which he calls one O'Clock.
Then noon would come at four o'clock,
and the night half of the day would be- /
gin at seven o'clock. There would be !
SoA N and P. NJ, and the long strokes !
Of the clock would all come in the night !
Nr. Woodbury., by the way, SAYS he does
not expect to live to see this scheme I.
adopted.
The first anniversary of the present
pas,orate of the South Paris Baptist
church occurred on Sunday, April I'd. !
The year has been a prosperous Que Z
The membership has increased. For
much Of the time this year this church
has enjoyed being united with the NJ. L
church during the building OF their fine
new church. The church has appre-
GATED the fine Sunday night talks of
Rev T. " Kewley very much, and the
personal help of Mrs. Kewley. The
Baptist church during the year has add
ed TO its equipment a large Boynton

party was given at Grand Army Hall
Wednesday evening by Miss Myrtle Buck
and Miss Mildred Parlin, for the special
benefit Of the boys who are at home for
the college vacation. Twenty were
present. Lewis A. Keen and Philip and
Albert King being the special guests of
honor The evenings programme was
IN the form Of a series of functions of
Good Time College," beginning with
the enrolment at $50, aud continuing
through the organization of classes, tive
10 each class), fine arts concert, presi-
dents reception, junior prom, freshman
sophomore tug of war, and the senior
junior football game, until commence
ment was reached at little after IL.
The programme was well carried out 10
the enjoyment of all who were there, the
effect being heightened by decorations
OF various college banners about the
ball.
You'll hardly know the old "New
hall the next time you get into 1t, I'M
less you have happened in there occs-
honally while the carpenters and paint
eFs have been at work for the last two or
three weeks. The ragged ends Of crepe
paper decorations, which have waved 80
gally IN the breeze from the trusses
overhead for so many years, are gone.
Zone also are the more or less pictur-
esque holes in the plssteriug, the scars on
The paint and the stains on the ceiling
which have given variety to the view. A
dsdo of hard pine has been put in
throughout the hall proper and the stair
way and entrance. Az necessary places
nave been patched, the ceilings whitened,
the steam pipes covered with aluminium
pant, the walls in the outside rooms
United blue, and on the walls of the hall
There is an oatmeal paper" of neutral
Unit, with border of sharply contrasting
eolors. 1t is great change, though the
work is not all done yet. There is an
expressed hope among those of esthetic
tastes that new drsperies of more pleas
ing color may be hung at the sides OF the
urop curtain, and there is even said to
oeaslight prospect that some new seen
cry may be considered. We won't any
Oh US do thing TO jar that prospect out

VERBALLY need, il is the best we have,
