Perhaps you never thought that the
CRYSTALS you see on the window pane
really have tempers of their own. just like
children. They do, though, and one OF the
queerest things about them is that you
can see what kinds OF tempers they nave
lust by looking at their size and shape
Some CRYSTALS arc very selfish and take up
a large piece of window all TO themselves
some are very generous and quite READY

kind has a shape all its own ana can

WARREN ". PEASE
Warren W Pease died at his home
in this village early Monday morning
His death was the termination of a
long Illness, covering a period of more
than fifteen years and for long time
he has been practically helpless re
curing a nurse in attendance all the
time, yet during all these long years
he bore his afflction with patience and
fortitude. A few years ago his wife
died leaving him in the care of others.
Mr. Pease was born in Arson. on the
Carnage farm. so-called, in 1891. the
son of Abram Pease, who was of the
early settlers of the town, coming here
as early as 1919. He was educated at
Arson Academy and in his young
manhood married Miss Elizabeth w.
Russell and to them six children
We're born, four of whom are living,
Charles and Thomas of st. Paul,
Mimi, Fred of Madison and Lizzie Of
New York.
Mr.. Pease was proprietor of the
Somerset Hotel in this village in 1860
and continued there for a time, after
which he purchased and moved on TO
the large farm below the village
where he remained until about twenty
years ago when failing health com
PEELED him to cease from manual labor
and he sold the farm and moved into
this village whore he has since resid-
ed. He was an extensive farmer and
one of the best stock raisers that An
son ever had. His choice cattle and
sheep commanded the attention of all
and his reputation as the raiser of
good stock was known far and near.
He was for many years a trustee of
the Somerset Agricultural Society and
one of the largest exhibitors on the
grounds during the time of the great
Agricultural Show and Fair days of
Arson. Mr. Pease was prominent in
town affairs and served on the board
of selectmen in 1870 and from 1876
to 1884, inclusive, as second on the
Board. His friendships were strong
and he was sympathetic in his nature,
never DESERVING a friend in the hour
of distress or affection. The going
of Mr.. Pease removes another of the
active business men who made Arson
prosperous and progressive forty
years ago and more. He will long be
remembered by all who knew him as
a true friend, a kind neighbor and a
good citizen. The funeral was held
at the home at 10 o'clock, Wednesday.
and the interment was in the family
lot in Sunset Cemetery.

Last Evenings Musical

Mrs. Dora Traitor Nye and her or
ganized class of pupils in pianoforte
entertained at a musical in Library
parlors last evening. The number
in attendance was limited owing to
the capacity of the hall but those in
attendance were delighted with the
numbers played by the class which
showed an excellence in training. Each
pupil wore white carpation which is
the class flower and the room was
made attractive with pink and white
flowers of this same variety. Mrs.
Nye's musicals have always been a
source of much pleasure to her audi
ences and this one was no exception
as each pupil from the youngest four
years of age up to the Oldest pre-

pulp all winter. Friday one of them
driven by Sewall Vose started for

Potatoes continue to move slow IN
the local market. The price is not
what it was year ago and the far
mers are holding for the big figure.
1t Is very doubtful If that figure comes
this year. Last season was an eXcep-
tional one and such prices do not come
hardly once in a generation. There
are large quantities of the tubers in
the farmers cellars in this VICINITY
and that is true all over the state.
The country, taken as a whole, pro-
duced the largest yield of potatoes
last season that ii has ever produced
in its history. 1t was a good crop all
around. There must be a shortage
in some sections when the prices go
up In any perceptable degree.

cial sermon to the Daughters of the

LUMBER GUT ON THE
KENMEBEC RIVER
Will Average That OF Last Year, Ac-
cOrding to the Present Estimate
Made Last Thursday

Estimates have been made that the
lumber cut on the kennebec river and
its tributaries will average about the
same as last year. Earlier in the
season it was thought that this sea
sons cut would not come up with that
of last year but it is now thought that
about 57,500,000 will be the result OF
the numbering operations for this year
The cut on Moose river will prob
ably estimate about 49,500000 feet;
Moosehead Lake and Roach River
22,00O,OOO; Dead River, 100000
East Branch and Main kennebec Ri
vers. 100000, making 120,5O0,000 it.;
81 600, 900 to be loaded on to the cars
on the Somerset Railroad, this making
a total of 100000 feet.
At the time of the estimate being
made there was about one foot OF
snow in the Moosehead Lake region.
