that the engraving on his stationery

to be a mammoth shoe manufacturing

Mayors is the president and Mr.. Morris
secretary. There is no man in the world
whom Union City people would like
better to see advancing towards the top
in the line OF manufacture than Bru-
tus. . There are numbers of reasons
for this In the first place he is man
from the forelocks that were to the

his work is in the right place. II
Henry Mayors is at the head of big
shoe factory in Missouri we sincerely
hope that factory will outstrip every

Miss Fleming Injured.

The storm cloud which lowered over
the city Tuesday after sultry, humid
day, evidently spent most of its force
on some surrounding country, as there
was no damage done save to few trees.
A report to the effect that Miss Elem
ing, of Trenton, one of the local Hello
girls, had been struck from her oper-
ating board by a flash Of lightning was
mistake, and grew from the fact Of
the young lady having been slightly
shocked while standing under a globe
in the front Office.
The work at the telephone operating
boards must be very nerve wearing, and
through our knowledge of that and
our appreciation Of the patience of our
Central y we should certainly know
which side to take in skirmish be-
tween some fussy old subscriber and a
Hello" lady.

Business Men 5 Club.

The Business Mems Club met We'd
nesday night this week, postponed
meeting from Tuesday night, and dis
cussed the whole situation from Alpha
to Omega, the business school, moving
the depot, meeting the requirements Of
the Inspection Bureau to secure lower
fire insurance, the M. & 0. crossing on
Church street, and other matters. But
little business was transacted, and this
was the appointment Of a committee,
Mr. Cochran, Mr.. Brice and Mr.. Will
White, to cooperate with committee
from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
in conference with the M. & o. officials
for the purpose OF requesting different
arrangement for water tanks. The tank
near the Palace Hotel increases the risk
at the crossing between the passenger
depot and the express office. The freight
engines taking water there cut loose and
pass back and forth over this crossing
many times during the day and night.
This arrangement has caused the death
of one citizen and endangered other
lives. The committee is to request the
company for different watering ar
rangement, so that this crossing may be
cleared as much as possible. The com
mittee is also to ask the railroad for bet
ter regulations governing the switching
at the crossing. No precipitate action
was taken, as it was thought best to
meet and discuss the situation with the
railroad people.
The Commercial some time ago called
attention to the fact that some relief
would be needed at this crossing, and
that as time passes and the population
increases this necessity would become
more apparent. II may be delayed and
the expense saved for time, but some
day the citizens will demand that some
thing be done, and then it will be up to
the city and the railroads to act. We
have never been able to see clearly the
advantages Of opening the street, or a
street, if the railroad prefers, because,
to our way Of thinking, it would in
crease the risk unless the switch yards
were moved. This paper suggested
viaduct or passage way under the tracks.
The fact is the solution Of the question
is reduced to two alternatives, one the
moving OF the switch yards, the other
the construction of viaduct for vehicle
and foot passage We do not know
enough about the railroad business to
have any sort of an idea OF whether or
not it is practical for the railroad com
pany to move the switches, therefore
we offered the alternative of viaduct.
II Union City grows something will
have to be done, and the railroad officials |
and the city authorities might as well
get together and work to that end.

Mrs. Charles Ligon's social for the

Tuesday was one Of the most enjoyable
of afternoon parties. Among those
present were Mesdames Knox Everett,
Chas. Miles, ST., Davis, Richards, Hale,
Reed, Mute, Posey, Hardy Lyon, Geo.
Nash. A spelling bee, " in old style
form, was given. Instead of two lead
ers choosing sides, the ladies stood up
in one row and spelled each other
down" and "up. I" Long words were
not given, but only tricky little words,
whose is and e's have habit of get
ting twisted. Mrs. Mute came up from
a far place in the lineup to spell Mrs.
Miles down from the head, but Mrs.
Miles kept her position valiantly and
bore off the blue ribbon at the finish.
Cooling refreshments were served after
the heated contest by Mrs. Kate Bell

OUR BOYS LIKE
WOOD WORKING
Devote Saturdays to
Ma nual Training
Old School on West Front Street
Affords Marked Contrast With
Methods and Ideas of the Long Ago.

Would a normal boy tramp through
the slush TO go to school on a rainy
Saturday morning? Well, of course
that would depend somewhat on the
boy, but considerably more on the
school. AS a matter of fact no less
than six boys did that very thing right
here in Skowhegan last week. OF
course their dads would have secuted
the idea OF anybody going to school
of his own accord on Saturday, and
the boys OF today are very much like
the boys of forty years ago. The dit
ference is in the school, even if the
old building on West Front street
looks from the outside about as it al
ways has. But once inside, and it Is
easy TO see why the boys are there
even on Saturday There are reai
work benches, twenty OF them, and
tools with ample supplies OF wood for
making things both ornamental and
useful.
Last Saturday morning We hike
through the rain over to the manua

claimed by its enthusiastic providers
to be one of the best of its kind in any
town in Maine An inventory of its
advantages includes: completion in

comprising two stories, a basement
which contains heating and hot water
plant, metal-lathed, fireproof-plas-

are. four exits, four stalls, smoking

THE FRUIT SHOW At.
AUGUSTA
State Pathological Society Had Con-
vention and Exhibit There Last
Week.

The annual meeting of the State
Pathological society was held in City
hall Augusta, last week, opening
Tuesday and continuing through
Thursday. The meeting was one OF
great interest and very instructive
both on account of the splendid fruit
exhibit and the presence of recognized
authority upon fruit culture and the
preparation of fruit for the market
The fruit exhibit included in all
about 900 plates, 135 boxes and be-
tween 30 and 40 barrels of apples
The plate exhibits were arranged upon
long tables at the right and left of the
rows of seats upon the main floor. In
the rear of the hall We're exhibits of
nursery stock and spraying apparatus,
while at the right of the main entrance
and about half way down to the stage
was arranged a fine exhibit of canned
and preserved fruit.
A noteworthy feature of the ex-
hibit was the attractive basket
exhibits, some 40 in number. These
small baskets, containing from 20 to
30 apples made very pretty fancy
display and was indicative of the
growing demand from the purchaser
for an attractive apple package of this
size.
The judges were Prof. F. C. Sears
of Amherst, Mass, Prof. Wilfred
Wheeler of Concord, Mass. and John
B. Cashier of Hood River, Oregon.
The programs every day were of
unusual interest to the members of
the society and the large number of
local people in attendance, prominent
speakers coming from a distance to be
present. Six prize cups were awarded
and the show as a whole could hardly
be equalled in the country.
The new president, H. L. Geyser Of
'rcnne, was elected to succeed G. NJ.
Twitchell of Auburn. Other officers
elected were vice-presidents w. II.
