Way They Get Ahead of U.s..

In eastern United States we are Just
beginning to hear of a place called
Calgary, Alberta, Northwest Territory
Yet there's a place, way off there in
the Canadian wilds, by that name, AMI
it has it's boom bureau which sends
all kinds of stuff to publishers, hop
ing they will occasionally publish
some of it and thus let some other
human being know that Calgary is on
the map. We usually throw the stuff
in the waste basket, as do other edi-
tors, but this time the enterprising
publicity bureau imp scores on us.
He tells us that even out there where
the new city is only dot in vast
expanse, they are fighting the high
cost of living; that the women con-
fidently believe that a big public mar
ket, centrally located, and properly
supplied with adequate trackage
facilities; place designated so that
the farmer can deal direct with the
housewife, thus eliminating the mid
dIeman and thereby abolishing the
latters profit, is the only correct and
lasting solution of the high cost Of
living problem. For the first time III
the history of Canada, committee Of
housewives met another committee
composed exclusively of farmers IN
Calgary recently, and decided that the
producer and the consumer i'll the

cerned, they will become better ac-
public market scheme was resolved
upon as being the quickest means TO
broke up with the representatives OF
each committee committed to the poll

city council has been approached and
it's cooperation secured. A site III

been promised and funds supplied fol
the construction of a market after the
women's own IDEAS Farmers in and
around Calgary have promised to go
in for market gardening on a more ex-
tensive basis and to urge their neigh
bors to do so.'
And they'll put it over" out there,
too, While we are considering the
question of whatever would become

DEXTER.

st. AIMS Catholic church was the
scene of very pretty wedding, Mon
day morning, when Miss Pauline
Mountain, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Mountain of Main street, was
united in marriage To Felix Reilly of
this town. Rev. FIR. Timothy c. Nancy
performed the ceremony. Miss Elsie
Mountain. sister of the bride, acted as
maid of honor and Joseph Clukey as
best man. The bride Wore beauti
full white silk gown and the maid of
honor was attired in blue and white.
The church was handsomely decor
ated and many friends of the young
couple witnessed the ceremony. A re-
ception will be given, Monday evening
by the friends at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Mountain.
1t is understood that Dexter Demp-
Gratis may hold a caucus to decide
upon some one candidate for the po
sition of postmaster in Dexter. This
proceeding is advised by Senator
f. johnson of Waterville as the best
way out of the difficulty in towns
where there are several candidates
and a decision seems hard to reach.
Some of the Dexter prominent Demo
Gratis, however. are not in favor of the
caucus. All of the four candidates for
the local office have sent in their PEE
titions and are anxioHaly awaiting de
velopments.
The members of Stafford Post, G. a.
r.. the women of the Relief Corps
and the families of the same, attend
ed Divine worship at the Methodist
church, sunday morning, where the
new pastor, Rev. II. a. Sherman. de-
livered a very fine Memorial service
The choir rendered appropriate NIL
sic and the church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. The Me-
mortal day address will be delivered,
Friday evening, BY Percy \. Hast.,
Esq, at the Town hall.

The PattansalI- DineIey Combine.

Oh. yes, Mr.. Pattangall is with Ding
ley for a ripping up of the public util-
tiles law, if possible. Some folks are
said tc be suspicious of the combina-
tion-and why shouldn't they?
There's another Pattangall-D ingley
scheme afoot, we hear; it is to promote
Bull Moose ticket against Hon. For
rest Goodwin, and thus allow Pattan-
gall to go to Congress. The rum trust
wonld undoubtedly join the combine in
the hope of gaining one more friend at
court to defeat such as the Webb bill.

Orders Dinner by Parcels Post.

A Vermont farmer, reviewing the ad-
ers. reaches the conclusion that 1t is
only of benefit to farmers for small
shipments and short distances, accord
ing to Farm and Fireside. He says
that for long distances and especially
on large Packages, express rates are
cheaper. But most important of all is
the fact that facilities for shipping are
now much better than before we had
tie parcels post. Repeating his exper-
fences, he says:
The parcel post is something for the
farmer to rejoice over. For once we
are ahead of our brothers in the city.
They must go to the post-oftice or a
postal station TO mail their packages,

Ellen Smith and Edwin $. Maxwell
We're married at Litchfield, May "a,
1868, by Rev, Mr.. Grant. They re-
sided at the old Maxwell homestead
at Wales until about four years ago
when they came To South Paris where
they now reside at their new home on
Park street. To them were born four
daughters all of whom are living, Miss

Maxwell was a successful farmer.
Since coming to South Paris Mr.. and
Mrs. Maxell have formed many pleas

delighted to participate in their gold

The reception in all its appointments
was charming. the principal attraction
being of course the brides and bride
groom of 80 years age, whe in calm
serenity faced the occasion with a
happy illustration OF 50 years of we'd
ded life.
one of the most important features
of the trip by the Portland Board Of
Trade was the prompt taking up by
President S. b. Adams and other
members of the board of the PROPOSE
ton advanced by officials of the
Province of Quebec and the city of
Quebec and the business men of that
section for the establishment of a
proposed automobile road or highway
that will almost directly connect the
cities of Portland and Quebec by
route of about 800 miles, of which
there remains at present only about
20 miles to be constructed In the state
of Maine. When the proposition WAS
advanced President Adams and other
members of the board from Portland
seeing the advantages of the PROPOSE
ton to the city of Portland. suggested
a conference which was held at the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
