MAINE MAN WEARS TIN HAT
Natty Headpiece, But Not Likely to
Be Adopted as the Popular
Mode.

The latest innovation in mems ap-
parel has been sprung by w. H. Whit
ing of Jonesboro, Me. 1t is tin hat,
with a band made of copper He
fashioned the natty headpiece himself.
1t is not only very light in weight, but
he claims that it is cheaper than a
straw bonnet" lasts longer and is
absolutely rainproof.
Writings tin hat has a luster all its
own, something that takes the shine
off all other hats. 1t is more snowy
than Mambrinos helmet, made famous
by Don Quixote. Writings hat is
made of tin, common sheet tin, the
same kind of tin that baked beans and
sardines and tomatoes are put up in.
1t is built on a 1915 model, and no
fashionable youth of the town can
put anything over" on him in the
matter of style. 1t is neat, but not
gaudy, tin body with copper band,
not quite as brilliant as a ribbon with
college colors, but more substantial
and quite as attractive. At least, it
attracts plenty of attention when Whit
ing wears it on the streets.-Boston
Post.

pous Are Wise.

Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the
New York Life Insurance company
and also of the Safety First Fedora
ton of America, in accepting the presi-
dency of the latter body, said: THE
old way of crossing a street will no
longer do; it is dangerous. A dog no
longer runs against or under an auto
mobile as he did when they first ap-
peared. He has changed his whole at
titude toward street traffic The aver
age man has not changed. On
the other hand, the traffic as against
the pedestrian has grown aggressive
and careless" The federation was or
ganized few weeks ago by a con-
vention attended by delegates from

Carry Your Wealth With You.

The greatest riches-in fact, all the
wealth that is of real value-must
center in yourself. You must be rich
within, not outside, of yourself; rich
in the things that financial panics,
fluctuations of trade, accidents by
flood or fire, dishonesty of business
associates, of errors of judgment, can
not rob you of. Your greatest in
vestment must be embarrassment. In
vestment in health, in courage, in
kindness, in nobility Of manhood or
womanhood.-O. s. Marden.

Now Lookout

When cold hangs on as often
happens, or when you have hardly
gotten over one cold before you con-
tract another, look out, for you are
liable to contract some very serious
disease. This succession of colds
weakens the system and lowers the
vitality so that you are much more
liable to contract chronic catarrh,
pneumonia or consumption. Cure
your cold while you can. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has a great
reputation. 1t is relied upon by
thousands of people and never disap-
points them. Try it. 1t only costs
quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

PLANNING TO REBUILD
Fish Firms and Railroad Looking
to a Resu mption Business
In August

Punta Gorda' s late fire, which
Us now believed by many people
to have been of incendiary origin,
hit the fishing industry a stagger-
ing blow; But three of the firms
that suffered losses, Chadwick
Brothers, West Coast Fish Com
pany and Punta Gorda Fish Com
pany, are making arrangements to
build again and get in readiness
as soon as possible for resuming
business with the advent OF Au-
gust goth, when active wholesale
Operations usually start.
To further the efforts in this d.
rection, the railroad people have
been prompt to start work OF res
toration on the wharf. A force OF
men have been at work for about
a week and have laid temporary
track for handling the wrecking
machinery that will be used to re-
move the burned cars and timbers
that have to be gotten out OF the
way. With this accomplished the
rebuilding of the burned portion
of the wharf will be pushed for.

a month or six weeks this can bt

PROGRESS BEING MADE
Getting Plans and Specifications
Ready as Fast as Possible
for Good Roads

Commissioner w. M. Written
and Engineer j. s. Banister are
giving attention to getting the en-
gineering work on the proposed
roads for this district carried out
in a way to subserve the best in
terests of the people directly IN
terested.
They are working out all de
tails in the matter of drainage
and in the plans for bridges, as
well as in the specifications for all
work that is to be done, that con-
tractors may figure close and put
in low bids.
There is no denying the impor-
lance of giving due consideration
to details, for contractors cannot
/ bid intelligently without full and
complete plans and specifications,
and work of this kind takes time.
But it is expected that this work
will be completed at an earlier
day than many people think.
While no official information is
given out, and it being difficult
even for the engineer in charge to
arrive at a conclusion as to when
Everything will be complete, there
lis a probability that advertising
flor bids will be ordered at the COM
missioners meeting in August, or
perhaps more likely at the Sep
TENDER meeting, which will permit
of letting contracts and having
work start in early fall, a desir-
able season of the year for such
work to be undertaken.
AS the good roads project is one
in which general interest is felt,
, the above statements are given as
conveying an idea that progress
is being made; and it likewise APP
pears that by being patient, the
people of the district will ulti
, mately get the desired improved
roads ON the basis of the most val
ue for the investment made.
Mr.. Written is giving much o.
9 his time and knowledge, which
with his practical experience o
g many years makes his services
very valuable, and he is getting M
compensation other than what i
2 allowed by law to county com
missioner.
: With the good roads FINAL,
built, their character and LASTING
qualities will no doubt demon
strate that it has been the part o
wisdom to proceed slowly thu
far, rather than hurry things an
# get inferior roads
