Great Picking.

Paying for home by picking wild
berries is the feat performed by Mrs.
Seth Davis of Skowhegan, who for the
last 20 years has been engaged In this
industry very successfully. Her favorite
berry is the raspberry and she averages
about Is bushels of these In year. She
picks about eight bushels Of the field
straw berries in the year and many
bushels of wild blackberries. Besides
picking these she peddles them out 10
Skowhegan. She now owns fine farm
on the Canaan Road and she remarked,
Tuesday, that she had paid for 1t by
picking berries. She not only picks ber-
ries but assists her husband 10 many
ways about the farm. In the winter
time she will take load of wood with a
pair of horses, come to Skowhegan and
fiud market for 1t, unloading it herself.
Mrs. Davis Is an intelligent woman and
is one of the most frequent patrons of the
public library. She takes books there
from and in her trips to and from the
village she devours their contents. She
believes that life is worth moro to her by
this out door air and work than 1t could

Care for Ro.ds-Don't "Rix" Them

| Believing that, with but little expense,
many of our highways throughout the
State may be kept In excellent condition,
the Maine Automobile Association has
sent letter to the selectmen and road
commissioners Of every town in Maine
showing how this may be done. A copy
Of the letter follows:
JULY II, 1918.
DEAR SIR: Among members OF our
Association in different parts of the
State, as we'll as the public in general,
including the tourists, there seems to be a
growing feeling that great many of our
towns are neglecting their roads, either
in view OF the promised assistance OF the
State in re- building some of its roads, or
through lack of ordinary care. We feel,
as an Association, that our interests are
identical with those of all residents of
the state and that we would not be doing
justice to ourselves and the men who are
interested in building and Improving our
highways, unless We call attention to
this matter.
We think you will agree with Us that
it is the little things we do which smooth
the rough road of life and increase our
efficiency, whether an Individual, a CON-
pany or town, therefore it seems to us
IL the superintendent of roads should
put on single horse dump cart, and a
couple of men, with necessary tools, for
few days each month, to remove the
loose stones, fill up the small mud holes,
turn out the water which has made rurs
on our hills, and clean out now and then
a culvert, IL would not only benefit every
individual who rides over the road, but
would save hundreds of dollars TO the
town. By doing this, a great deal Of
lameness of the horses would be elm
mated, as we'll as unnecessary destruc-
tion to the carriages or whatever other
vehicle may be used.
There has also been a constant COM
plant that those who are constructing
the highways, both the state and towns,
are not properly SIGNING the road and
directing the public which way to 60.
when portion of the road is under con-
struction. We feel that the public will
be very charitable il little care is used
by directing by signs or by fixing some
temporary road so they can get by the
piece of road which is under construc-
ton, and We trust that every man
whether he is town agent or con-
tractor in connection with the rebuild
ing and improving the roads in the state
will use as much care as possible in order
TO accommodate the public.
Hoping that you will receive this letter
in the same spirit in which it is written,
we remain,
Very respectfully yours,
Maine Automobile Association, by W.

Miss Harriet Chase, one Of the Oldest
and most highly esteemed women of Cor
nish, adopted novel way for committing
suicide, on the 10th, at her home near
the Maine Central railroad station. Rela'
tives who called at the house were horri'
fed upon entering the kitchen to see the
top of Miss Chase's head in the water
barrel, which she kept at one end OF the
sink. Upon investigating it was found
that Miss Chase had undressed, put on
mig htdress and then dipped two or three
pals Of water from the barrel. Then
she got into the barrel and sat down un
til the water covered her head, aud
drowned. Miss Chase had begun to show
the iufirmities of age. and it is presumed
that she took offense at the purpose tC

SENN0, ITALIAN FIELDER,

Although Birmingham has Jared badly

ball season will he a.,

TIME Atlanta Prep league has.
ball season will be of1ciau,
opened tomorrow afternoo,
at Piedmont park when the Tech
High School and the Peacock teams
meet. From all indications. tba
present season bids fair to eclinss
all former marks in ATTENDANCE
as well as in the quality of tho
teams.
Just at present, it appears that
Marist College and the two high
schools, Boys and Tech. hold the
reins, with G. M. A. and Peacock
looming up as rather unknown
quantities. The latter two teams
got off to a late start, and as a
consequence they have not partici.
pated in many practice games.
IN years past the race has been
nip and tuck affair. and usually
the climax is not reached until the
last game on the schedule has been
settled. Frequently post season
games have to be played to decide
the winner. A great deal of rival.
ry exists among the teams and the
student bodies of the various
schools.
Last season Marist and Boys
High fought it out for the leader
ship, and it was only after the
most strenuous fighting that the
Catholic boys came off victorious.
NTARIST has a slight edge on the
AFA other schools, owing to the fact
that the school has a regular ath.
letic coach and one Of the best
posted baseball experts in the
South. However, this advantage is
partly offset by the small number
of students Marist has to draw
from as compared to G. NJ A. and
the two high schools.
Although Marist College has won
the Prep league pennant for three
consecutive years, the teams this
year look better matched than for
a number of years.
