BANGOR WILL HAVE
GRANITE FED. BLDG.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 5.-Through
the efforts of Rep. Guernsey, Bangor
is now assured of a public building
with four granite walls. The House
late Monday afternoon passed the Sem
ate bill authorizing $4,000 additional
and it now goes to the President for
his signature. The money should be
available within a fortnight.
Rep. Guernsey pleaded with Minori-
ty Leader Mann to raise point of
quorum until after this bill had been
reached on the calendar. Mr.. Mann
accuiesced but it was with difficulty
that the House was held in session I'M
til 1t came to the Bangor building
There was no opposition Mr.. Guernsey
aad talked privately with many MEM
bers of the House, telling them that
unless there was action forthwith, two
of the walls would have to be of brick
or wait much longer.
Tho bill for sale of land in Old Town
adjoining the postoffice to the Masonic
lodge was almost reached. but MIR.
Guernsey could not hold the House in
check long enough to get it through.
There will be a chance few days
hence when the House gets to "Unani-
nous Consent again.
Just as he was leaving the House
late Monday evening, Mr.. Guernsey
was met by Secretary of the Treasury

Taking the figures for the fscai year
We find that the increased imports Of
foodstuffs account for sesosl, 900 eut Of
the total increase of $50, 900 The In
crease of manufactures ready tor use 10
s4o.134,ooo. which is a growth Of 50 per
cent, but is offset in part by a decrease
of imported manufactures for further
use in manufacturing Of s2a6S7. 900. which
is shrinkage in these importations of
SIS per cent. The net total increase in
imports of manufacturer. therefore. for
the fiscal year is s1o.447.ooo. which 10 less
than IL per cent more than the innpor-
tations for the fiscal year 1913
On the export side, again. the decrease
for the fiscal year Of sss. s2a. 900 is &C.
counted for by the shrinkage in exports
of foodstuffs to the extent Of ST. 6,0U;
by a shrinkage in manufactures ready
for consumption of s5l,353.0o0. equal to sc
per cen by a further shrinkage of $34,-
$4,000 in manufactures for further use In
manufacturing. equal to s.s par cent.
which are offset by an increase In ex-
ports of crude materials of $50, sse, 900, an
increase of s.3 per cent.
1t will be noted again that the imports
of fully finished manufactures show the
smallest ratio of increase and that the
expectations of fully finished manufao-
lures show the smallest ratio Of decrease
for the fiscal year.

Foodstuffs continue to be the leading
item of increased imports, the increase
in these two items in June accounting for
SIS, s11 900 In round numbers out of $26
2s3, 600 of total increase. A further item
of increased imports is in crude ma
terials for use in manufacturing, which
accounts for S5,4l4.0e0 more. This item
may indicate an increasing demand from
our manufacturers for these crude ma
terials.
The items mentioned cover over
So, 100000 out of the $26, 100000 of in

to be accounted for by an increase

a decrease of s2,656o00 in imported
manufactures for further use in manu-

On the export side the decrease in June
as compared with the same month of a

crease in foodstuffs exported of $3.50, 900.

CHIEF THINGS IN THE GARDEN
the Main Products of Any Guilt
waited Plot of Land.

Do not covet all the fine things you
see in other gardens, for you would
not have room enough for them were
they given to you. Choose what you
feel you must have and most need in
order to obtain that sweet peace of
mind that is better than ALL" and you
will indeed prove contented tiller of
the soil. II you find you cannot grow
some things you would like and have
satisfied yourself that they are not for
you, cease to worry about the matter
and set about growing something else.
Don't worry over the impossible, but
make the most Of your possibilities
When you get down to cold garden
facts you will find that while your
wants are many your needs are few;
The chief thing to be cultivated in a
garden is peace of mind. If you gain
this you will reap rich harvest every
day in the year.

A N afternoon gown which is elabo-
~ rate enough for formal occasions
and quiet enough for the informal will
appeal to most women. Here is one
which is novel and beautiful in COM
position and in which the wearer
might feel at ease at an afternoon
tea or an evening reception. 1t is
conservative as to style, graceful in
outline, and of a type which will out
live single season.
Gray satin forms the foundation of
the skirt, which is bordered at the
bottom with two scalloped fiounces,
each about a quarter of a yard in
width when finished, and bound with
narrow piping of the silk. The
skirt escapes the ground by about
three inches, measured from the mid
die of the edge of the scallops, and
is comfortably wide, approaching two
yards. This gives plenty of room even
considering demands of dancing.
At the head of the second founce
scant festoons are arranged in the ma
terial. They are caught up with small
bows of the fabric and are simply
two shallow folds tackled to position.
Extra width is allowed in the up
per founce to allow for this draping.
A tunic of wolfe, in the same color
as the silk, reaches to within twelve
inches of the bottom of the skirt, or
may be made longer. 1t is laid in
side plaits at the waist line and al
lowed to flare below the hips. A mar
row hem finishes the bottom. Trans

LET us elope."
"Audacious!"
But it seemed the only way out OF
the dilemma They carried out the
program in due romantic style, too.
The next morning there was O wild
time around the Wyman home. A serv7
ant came to her master, pale and
breathless.
ooh, sir" she gasped, "burglars!"
"Eh! Where? When? How" chal@
lenged the old man, startled.
Miss Clytie, sir!'
What about her?"
"Gone. Ladder up to the Window

irate old curmudgeon ~She shant

quick, before her father comes snoop+
ing around to influence me to change
my mind"
Then Mr. Wyman primped up and
went down to the humble Grey home;
AS he rounded the shabby house he
heard a bright CHEEKY voice Singing
He peeped in at the window.
Busy-bee Vivian was ironing and
singing to sleep her little brother in
a chair near the table. Everything
was poor, but scrupulously clean.
"I'd like to have that music down al
the big house." chuckled the old tyi
rant. 'That girl knows how to make
things look home-like, and that's what
want. Morning, Vivian" he greeted;
as he entered the kitchen.
"Why, Uncle Wyman, this is real
pleasure" said Vivian, sincerely, glad
to see her arbitrary relative, and na
was convinced that the expression was
genuine.
"You can drop that ironing" he ,bt

What for, uncle?"
Going to move, all Of you. I'm
through experimenting with MY kin

whole family and make you my neir7

Grateful little soul! Vivian sat down
and cried like tired baby. 1t seemed
as if the burden of the ages had rolled
away from her weary shoulders.
1t was two years later, and she was
happily married, and old Uncle Wy
man had found peace and comfort
amid true family surroundings, when:
Vivian met Clytie.
Then the whole story came out, and
there began a rare friendship that
beautified the whole of their lives.

Garden for Every Family.

At least there should be garden
for every family in the state. This
does not necessarily involve the max
ing or maintenance of lawns or the
planting of trees and Towering plants.
If some love a vegetable patch more
than a flower garden we have no quar-
rel with him, for peace of mind is, or
should be the aim of gardening. Gar
dens are for the affections and there
fore one should plant that crop or
crops that must nearly meets his de-
sires. If you love cauliflowers more
than you do cornfowers you are fully
Justified in growing the former. 1t
requires just as much skill to grow
a good cabbage as it does fine carna-
ton. and one is further enabled by
use of the former to demonstrate his
gastronomic ability as well.

CONGESTION TO BE AVOIDED
City Of Today Should Profit From the
Errors Which Have Been Made
In the Past.

There are much more important and
more fundamental objects than esthet-
les In city planning-objects that are
altogether within the reach of modern
civic effort; many lines, indeed, in
which the modern city has already
surpassed older efforts, and will and
must do so still more. If civic art Is
the sublime flower that finally can be
hoped for, the necessary roots, stems
and leaves must be found in the eco
nomic, social, hygienic and recrear
1onal life of the communities.
Industry and transportation; transit
and rapid transit connections between
economically and hygienically devel-
oped factories, business districts, and
beautiful, enjoyable homes; plenty of
Fairgrounds, open-air and indoor
schools and public parks, are the logi-
cal objects of modern city planning
the necessary foundation on which
civic life and civic beauty must rest
before anything worthy to find express
sion in art radiating toward a physi-
cal and beautiful civic center can be
developed.
Those somewhat utilitarian objects
Of the new civic art are susceptible Of
high grade of development unheard
IF in the plans for the cities of former
lines.
City planning is the science of in
vestigating and achieving these re-
suits. Extraordinary efforts and quite
new departures must be made, in Or
Ter to develop new type of city, free
from the old plaques.
The city of the old type was built
70 house only a small percentage Of
The nation; and this small percentage
was destined to an early death in the
second or third generation. The cit
les did not continue to exist by their
own increase of population, but by the
continuous influx of people from wide
agricultural areas.
The old congested city, therefore,
was essentially a place to die in; the
modern city must become a place to
i've in. In the beginning of the nine
teenth century only small percent
age of the population in the United
States lived in cities, condition
which has changed materially today.
