HaIIowelI to Benefit by New Road

An appropriation was made at the
town meeting in Farmingdale Mon
day for the construction of a new
road, and indirectly this new road
will be beneficiary to the commercial
district of Hallowell. Perhaps it will
be quite a small aid, but neverthe-
less, the small aids are what help in
the long run.
The highway service in Farmingdale
at the present time is such as to COM
pei residents in the vicinity of North
and outer Bowman streets, who wish
to come to Hallowell, to make the trip
a very roundabout way, thereby ne
cessitating much needless travel. At
the same time, the distance from
this locality to Gardiner is somewhat
shorter. But with the completion of
this new road, the distance to Hal
lowell. will be even shorter than to
Gardiner And everybody knows that
to the rural resident, time is an i'm
portant factor to be considered, and so
they are very apt to take the shortest
and most convenient route, when go
ing to make their purchases. So the
people are quite apt to patronize the
local merchants a little more.
The specifica tions in the petition on
file call for a road to extend from

Firemen's Strike in Farmingda!e
Leaves Town without Protection

The flame fighters" of the town feel
that the opposition slipped one over on
them, as no inkling was given that
there was any opposition to their chief.
The firemen and the new chief say
that the action taken was not caused
by a dislike of the new chief but
through loyalty to their old and be-
loved chief, F.. II. Marshall.
Not many years ago Gardiner went
through the throes of a strike of the
firemen at the time when John Ken
dali was dropped by the city govern
ment and S. d. Soule made chief of
the department in this city.

Home Face Peeling
Becomes Popular

No complexion treatment yet discov-
cred seems to have become so generally
and so Immediately popular as the mer-
colized wax process. Evidently the rea-
son is that this method actually gets rid
of a bad complexion, which can hardly
be said OF any other. To temporarily
hide or bleach the defective skin with
cosmetics, cannot compare with the eff
feet of literally removing the skin itself.
Mercolized wax takes off the offending
surface skin in flour-lke particles, a lit
tie at time, until there's none of 1t left.
The new complexion thus produced ex-
hibits a healthy glow and girlish beauty
obtainable in no other way. This wax,
which you can get at your druggists, Is
applied at night in the same way you use
cold cream, and washed off next morning.
Here is one thing that actually does
remove wrinkles remove them quickly,
and at trifling cost: Powdered saxolite,
or, dissolved in pit. witch hazel. Use
as face bath.-Adv.

by Senator Jones, Republican, of
Washington. He was speaking on his
pending resolution calling on the
President for full information on the

Senator Jones intimated that a re-

declared that lit is reported as one

which, if successfully applied. the bur-
den of reparation will fall upon the
Southern states"
For that report, Senator Jones
maintained developments had shown
there was basis.
What is the foreign policy that re-
quires such humiliating. cowardly,
craven action on our part?" the SEN

What are the delicate matters that
demand this humiliation, this price?
