Monday afternoon Final plans were
made for the opening. Thursday. of

Pennington The two 12-passenger
autos to be used by the company,
which will be known as the Central
Maine Transportation Lines, left Bos-
ton, Monday, and are due to reach
Waterville some time. Tuesday. The
ears will be placed at the disposal of
the Waterville Chamber of Commerce
and the Pennington Board of Trade
Wednesday Shortly before 3 O'Clock.
Wednesday morning, both organiza-
tions will leave in the cars, the Farm

the members of the Pennington body
will be entertained by portion of the

men will receive a similar reception
from the Pennington merchants The
line will be formally opened for the

Main street. and the Chamber of Com
merce will communicate with both the
municipal officers and the State. high
way commissioner in reference to the
road. Such road would fill q long
needed want i'm the section, and would
be an enlargement on the county and
tow roads. Such a road as the pro-
posed one would greatly promote the
interests of Waterville. At present
the roads in that section are SUFFERING
from lack of repair, and the mountain
road near Ierry's farm is often inE
passible.
An association of merchants. bank
ers and farmers, with the object Of
bringing registered cattle to this
vicinity was another consideration at
the meeting. If the proposed assoeia
tian is formed it will enable farmers
of the locality to purchase registered
stock of 4 standard breed by giving
their notes at the time of purchase,
the notes to he guaranteed by the as
ISOLATION. The payments will lie from

will be the means of bringing fine

making Waterville Il Mecca for high

Sometimes 1t might multiply by two:
again, il might multiply by hundred
At any rate. the owner OF the magic
lar was getting rich fast. when greedy
Judge somehow got wind of the strange
affair Accordingly he brought some
kind of false charge against the man
and made him fetch the jar into Court.
Then the Judge pretended that he canid
not decide the ease and would Keep the
Jar SO he took it to his own home ana

Now. when this happened the friends
of the mistreated man began to nlnrmur.
Failing to get any satisfaction from the
Magistrate, they appealed to the Magis-
trate's father You may be so or 40 years
old in China, but il your father Is living
you are as much subject to his orders as
if you were only 10; this is the case just
as long as you both live.
When the father spoke about the com
plants of the people, the Magistrate lied
about the jar. but not in way to de-
ceive the old fellow. He decided to IN
vestigate and went laundering round a
dark room in search of the jar. Before
he saw what he was doing he came up
on it and fell into II. Whereupon ma
cried to his son to pull him out.

yard with fathers. and had six or eisht
