To Project Tires.

Protection from punctures and safety
from skidding are obtained without
cost by users of Woodworth Treads ;
lures, and skidding, but they protect
the tire from punctures, cuts, bruises
and wear and from the action of oil,
light and air so that the life of the tire
is prolonged enough to pay much more
than the cost of the treads.
II you wish to feel that your tires
are ready for any roads. good or bad,
dry or slippery, and wish to cut down
your tire expense, order a set of Wood
worth Treads. Mr. Junger, local
agent. For particulars see ad. in

Efforts to secure a speaker on sex
Hygiene" for which the Y. M. c. "A.
has long been working, have at last
resulted materially, for, beginning next
Sunday, DR.. Charles Z. Barker OF
Washington, d. c., former medical ad-
visor to EXPIRES. Taft. will give
series of lectures In and about Wat
erviIle on the most vital of vital sub
jects. That it requires pretty choice
sort of individual to approach such
subject from the platform, the as
ISOLATION is we'll aware, and the ex-
ponents of the movement here feel
that Dr. Barker is perhaps better able
to talk on that subject than any of
the practicing physicians in the East
ern states. He has been a special
study along these lines and his Won
derful adaptabilty resulted in the
Washington Y. M. C. A. and the other
societies inducing him to go on the
lecture platform.
DR.. Barker has just finished a week
of lecturing in Portland, where he
spoke to different organizations of
men and women in the schools. He
will pass a week in the vicinity of
Waterville speaking in the schools and
churches. Everywhere that he has
given his talks DR.. Barker has been
pronounced a great success. He is
sane and practical and an able speak
er. He is we'll informed in the mat
tiers of health and hygiene and as

First on the program came the an
nual address of President Hunton and
this was closely followed as he point
ed out the great strides that were be-
ing made in crop production by
more careful selection Of seed. 1t was
now matter of history. True farm
ers are never satisfied with the pres
ent but are always seeking for some
improvement. One hundred bushels
of corn to the acre is by no means the
limit. The Legislature is helping us
but the results apa not wholly salts
factory. This was not discouraging
and the next four years would aston
ish our people by the increased yield
of crops. This meant much for the flu
ture prosperity of our State. We have
the aid of the government and the
State as well as the press and we can
not fail.
Then came the annual report OF Sec
rotary Leland, and it was highly
pleasing. The society was only four
years old and already has. more than
$50 members. To raise our own seed
was the great object and it must be
of the best. He gave thanks to DR..
Leon S. Merrill of Orono and Prof.
Mitchell of Freedom for the aid they
had given the society. Thomas Dins-
more of China had offered premium
on flint corn and w. Il. Kendall of
Bowdoinham had also added s25 more.
The result was to stimulate one man
to raise 125 bushels or one acre. 9th
ers We're close behind and the work
was just beginning. He advised
close study of strains not only of corn
but also Of potatoes. The seed markets
should be carefully studied. Accepted.
Treasurer c. NJ. White then reported
and it showed the finances to be in
healthy condition. There was money
in the treasury after paying all bills.
Accepted.
A committee on resolutions was
called for and the following was APP
pointed: Capt. E. E. Philbrick, H. NJ.
Wood, L. C. Halston. This ended the
meeting.
The Creamery Association.
DR.. Leon S. Merrill said that there
had been a misunderstanding as to
the time of the meeting and it would
be held later in the sessions. An adj
journment of one-half hour was then
| taken.
