The manage ment of Goldbergs' has announced that it will pay this sum to anyone who induces the "doll' to permit a movement to creep into his waxen features, while he is demonstrating
 clothes in the big case in front of <, the store. Scores of persons have gathered in front of the clothes shop ! and have resorted to antics of all | kinds in the hope of bringing some
 indication of mirth from the mechan- | ical doll. but thus far Ross has kept l every suggestion of an expression off 1 his face.

CONCERNING r. F. D. ROUTES.

Freedom Corres espondence Courier-Gazette.]
The editor of The Courier-Gazette recently
compared the mail service in Rockland to the
rural service. Let's see how it would compare
with the mail service here. We want to send
a letter to Montville, four miles away. Mont
vile is served by Freedom R. F. D. No. 2, in a
closed bag. No. 2 passes our door. so we put
our letter in the mail box. No. 2 takes our
letter. carries it directly past the Montville P.
o. and back to Freedom P. o. The next day it
is locked in the Montville bag and comes back
past our door on Its way to Montville-26 hours
to go four miles. mo. says he has no right
to deliver open mail to the Montville P. 0
By the old stage star route that letter made
the trip in about one hour.
Now let's follow letter addressed to Liber-
ty, 6 miles. R. F. D. No. picks it up, carries
it around half half day and delivers it to
Freedom P. O. The next day it gees to Thorn
dixie, then to Belfast and by stage to Liberty,a ar
irving there at night. Our letter at one time
was within one and one-half miles of Liberty
while in care of No. 2. By the old star route
one and half hours saw our letter in Liber-

contrasted their lives with those Of the pres.

thankful for in comparison with the present
generation. He emphasized the ungrateful-
ness of the people Of today snd of their use of
Thanksgiving merely as day of amusement
and dissipation. He compared hem with the
nine lepers who did not return to give thanks.
In closing he spoke of the many things this
country has to be thankful for, and of the
great blessings that had been showered upon

thanksgiving and the benediction pronounced

GARMENTS FOR
LITTLE FOLKS
Comfort and Utility Considera-
lions Quite as Important as At
tractiveness In Juvenile Apparel.
Hints For Mothers.

OH1LDREN'S garments should.
of course. be attractive, as at
tractive as means and cir
cumstances viii justify. That
they should be appropriate for the oc-
casion and comfortable is more impor-
tant. Many fond mothers spend time
they can little afford IN the fashioning
of elaborate clothes for their little girls.
deliberately frilled and tucked and EN-
broidered frocks are not in place for
everyday wear. Most mothers realize
this and favor simple garments. How
ever. in fashioning these there is a
certain amount of handwork. and much
of it might just as well be omitted
or done upon the machine. In these
days ready to wear garments can be
purchased so cheaply that it seems
scarcely worth while to spend the time
that many women do on little gowns
which will be soon cast aside. Chill
dren are likely to feel uncomfortable in
these carefully got up clothes. for the
warning to take care of the nice
dress that mother made" is apt to go
with it. Thus self consciousness is en-
couraged. For morning wear a little
frock that can be easily Numbered and
is inexpensive is to be preferred. No
child can play freely and happily In a
gown about whose condition she has to
worry.
One of the essentials in choosing chill
dren's clothes is that they should be
comfortable. Little girls are more apt
than little boys to suffer from uncom
Portable garments. This is partly be-
cause their garments are more compli-
Gated. Petticoats.. for instance, should
be suspended from the shoulders in
stead of fastened about the waist. All
the understands should be sewed to
loose under bodices which button up
the back. Knockers and petticoats
should be fastened in the same way to
a soft corset bodice, so that the weight
of all garments hangs from her Shout
ders.
If a little girl wears a belt at all by
way of a finish to her dress it should
