work they can do and at the far
south End the big boz shop is busy.
AT the center of the town we have. in
addition to the Shirt Factory. the
Shoe Factory which will probably
soon be in operation and the old re-
liable Torrey Bushing Works and

Time was when the hardy lifesavers
at Popham Beach had to strive and
tug to launch their lifeboat when their
services were needed and then break
their backs to get to point where
they could render assistance. The
government finally came to the rescue
with an S-horse power motorboat,
which has done valiant service and
greatly lightened the duties Of the
Coast Guards at this dangerous spo.
on the Atlantic coast. Time has
proved the value of the power
equipped craft and the Popham crew
has been given a new 12-horsepower
boat. self-bailing, compressed air

The craft was delivered to the crew
Monday at Bath. The old boat will
be sent to the Biddeford Pool station.

Camden people were surprised Mon
day when they were told by Mr.. AMI
Mrs Edgar F. Gilkey that their daugh-
ter Gladys was married last Feb. IL, in
Dayton, Ohio, to Virgil S. Starkey of
Cincinnati. Mr.. Starkey is a teacher
in an automobile school inn Cincinnati
and they first met in Camden, where
he had come as chauffeur. The
bride, who is a young woman of un-
common beauty, has been stenogra
pher in the Office Of the Thomaston &
| Camden Street Railway and resigned
| recently to go West, as her friends
supposed, to be married, hence their
| surprise to be informed that she al
ready had husband and was simply
going to Cincinnati ,to join him.. 8. u,
That some move is ip contemplation
on the part of the Shiloh colonists is
made certain by the fact that the
steam yacht Barracuda, which skipped
out of Portland harbor Thursday
night, has gone to Rockland where it
| is said she is to haul out for thor

dropped by parties from the yacht
while ashore the past week it is the
general opinion along the water front
| that foreign cruise of some kind is in
, contemplation.
| The Portland Elks, who until recent
| ly had held Christmas observance for
the poor children of the city and gave

came SO large that many children were
bitterly disappointed because they
could not be remembered, will this
year revive the custom and will start
the season with ball on Nov. Is,
when the entire proceeds will be de-
voted to that object.
