 MT. Stanley, remarked that the ice business was not a paying venture as is the water department. MT. kehoe asked him what return IS recelVco from the fire department in when thousands of dollars are invested. MT
 Stanley replied that the fire depart
 ment gives the people protection ana
 MT. Kehoe expressed the opinion th&t
 the municipal ice business could also
 be considered as giving the people
 protection even if it did not return
 profit.
 Treasurer Chamberlain said that
 the price of ice in this city was high
 only one or two years when crops
 were short. MT. Kehoe told of an
 experience the people in the south end had with private dealers. During the early part of the summer they were buying ice from a Berlin deal- er This dealer sold out to private
 concern and deliveries stopped. When the people demanded ice they were l told to get it the same place they 1 had been getting it.
 | l l business forced the private dealers 70
 reduce the price, said MT. Stanley. "I bought ice from the ice trust
 at the same price the dealers in munt- l cipal ice were selling it," replied MT. l Kehoe.
 Whom do you mean by the ice trust "? inquired MT. Stanley.
 "All the private dcalers,' answer 1 ed MT. Kehoe. Another advantage gained was that the city forced the ! private dealers to sell five cent pieces.
 Referring to the start of the city in the business, Treasurer Chamberlain said that an expert was hired but he guessed his opinion was not so expert after all MT. Tehoe thought the original icehouse committee attempt ed too much with the money at hand. "If you were asked to invest in a
 corporation of this kind, would you?" Treasurer Chamberlain asked MT.

 To this Judge Gaffney replied: "The city never invested in an ice plant
 with the idea of being reimbursed fi- nancially."
 We thought we'd come out even," 1 insisted the treasurer. "Just because it was failure the 1 first and second years is no reason why it should be a failure the third year," said Judge Gaffney.

On His Regular Monthly Visits
Hours: 9 am. to 6 pm.

For the past five years statesmen,
college professors, and other scientific
men have been preaching untiringly
the theories Of conservation, as applied
to natural resources, soil fertility, etc,
hoping TO check the profigate waste Of
the natural elements with which
bOunteous nature has supplied her
children. Much more important TO you
is your health, without which you are
unable to enjoy any Of the resources or
pleasures Of life If you feel that you
are not up TO the usual standard Of
health, not able to do your usual quota
of daily work, suffer from aches, pains
and disabilities, stop and consider
would It be best for you TO consult
specialist for this trouble now or wait
until the ravages OF disease have made
it impossible for you TO ever be well

Subscription Rate to Raise.

Beginning with June 1, 1915, the sub
scription price of the Free Press viii be
$50 per year. An subscriptions dur
ing the piano contest which ends April
22nd, and up to June 1st, viii be receiv-
ed at S1.OO per year.
This increase In the price OF subscrip-
ton has been contemplated for some
time, and is due to the fact that every
thing pertaining to the publishing of q
paper has gone up in price. Salaries
are higher than five years ago. Paper
costs more and all other expenses which
enter in the building of a paper have
advanced.
Many weekly papers over the state
and country are raising their rates, and
daily papers are being compelled to
place the selling price of their publica-
tons at two cents per copy. It's simply
business proposition, and we feel that
our subscribers will so take it.
Remember that during the contest
and up to June 1, 1915, the paper can be
had for 81 90 per year-any number of
years, after which the subscription
price will be S1.5O. The publishers viii
spare neither pains nor expense to make
the Free Press worth the money.

have been privileged to attend such a
camp every summer. Maine, the
campground of America. the garden
of the Fast, the paradise of the ma
tons fishermen and lovers of outdoor
life. has failed to provide until this
summer a camp for its own boys.
Eut the boys have the camp now:
literally. they have it. 1t is their camp
to build. to develop, to enlarge. A man
visiting the camp told Secretary Smith
the other day: My boy came DOWN
to your camp a few days ago and now
he has invited me to spend the day
here at his camp Every day the
boys now at camp work from two to
four hours in the program of camp
improvement. When the Journal rep
resentative visited the camp there
were three squads Of boys at work
and the swimming hour was fast ap-
preaching it's close. AS matter OF
fact many of the boys left their work
only in time to reach the dinner table
for the MONDAY meal. One OF the
three squads was employed in build
ing hen house; a second was clear
ing the athletic field; the third was
moving rocks on the shore to improve
the location of the floats.

Jefferson c. Smith who is acting as
camp director in his vacation month is
justified in his declaration that he is
sure the boys are eating pure farm
products and drinking pure water.
Mr.. Smith, who is known through
Maine and New England as JEFF.
speaks confidently when he says the
boys camp is going to be the biggest
feature of the Y. NJ. C. A. Boys Work
in Maine. He points to the fact that
the boys conferences began conserva-
lively ard with small numbers until it
finally beat the world in numbers and
results aud declares that the camp is
going to be even a greater factor for
good in the lives of Maine boys than
the boys conference. Boys remain at
the camp longer than at the confer
ence; their relations in camp are more
intimate; the surroundings are ideal:
and the leaders have the best possible
chance to exert powerful influences up
on the camp through the boys them

The Augusta Water District is drain
ing the reservoir to get it into condi-
ton to clean. The reservoir which con-
tains eight million gallons is usually
cleaned twice each season but natural
conditions are such this summer that
it is thought the one cleaning will be
sufficient. The bottom and lower sides
Of the reservoir are of concrete and
after the water is run off the interior

trict officials say that change in the
water may be noticed Tuesday or
Wednesday while the supply is coming

of the loan necessary to give the
Maine boys summer campground.
From all over the Union boys and
young men come into Maine every
summer by hundreds and thousands to
enjoy the unrivalled Maine vacation
grounds: it is not only just and fitting
that Maine boys should have camping
opportunities in their own State but 1t
is even shameful that they have been
so long without them.
But there are no regrets for the past
or anything at the State Y. NJ. c. A.
Boys Camp at Lake Cobbosseecontee
as it is now in operation. The camp
was opened June rs and will close
July %, having given an outing to 14O
Maine boys. Camp headquarters are
in the cottage which has been known
as THE Marguerite and on either
side the cottage the boys tents are
pitched. The dining tent Is on the
extreme north Of the camp. Seven
hundred yards out in the lake lies
beautiful wooded island which will
doubtless be the site Of the great Y.
NJ. c. A. Boys Camp Of the future.
The shore site will be retained and a
camp conducted there. but obviously
the island offers the greater oppor-
tunity for a big camp and as tinpe and
the camp progress 1t will probably be
developed as the camp location for the
older boys who will be in the majority
in the summers to come 1t Is hoped.
The Y. M. C. A. boys In Maine be-
tween the ages IL and 20 are eligible
to attend the camp, but there is some
apprehension that the boys from Is to
20 years of age will find 1t difcult to
leave summer employment to visit the
camp. AS the years come and Co.
however, the boys will learn to plan
on the camp for their vacation.
Tho Y. M. c. A. Farm.
In connection with the camp is the
Y. NJ. c. A. farm, now under the man
agement Of Martin Higgins Of Winth-
rop Center The farm already boasts
a fine span Of draught horses. seven
cows, three calves. six pigs and so
hens. The camp tables are provided
with eggs. milk and cream. and gar
den stuff from the farm adjoining the
camp The farm has been much neg
lected for a number Of years and IL
in the condition commonly known
amongst farmers as run down." The
University of Maine has agreed on
the farm as an experimental station
and their cooperation this season has
materially aided the work Of farm i'm

work that has been done on the soil

Names First Y. M. c. A. Camp.

The State Y. NJ. c. A. has long de-
sired a camp for it's boys; for three
years its officials have been seeking
proper and satisfactory site. Last
January the purchase vas made which
provided the beautiful site now occu-
pied by the Y. NJ. c. A. boys together
with 80 acre island which offers
even greater camping opportunities.
The major purchase comprises 200
acres of farm and wood land; the
frontage on Cobbosseecontee lake has
long been known as the 'Longwood
Inn Grove" and the farm land is that
fertile soil lying about Longwood Inn
which was included in the purchase.
The State Y. NJ. c. A. has financial
backbone which enables it to carry a
loan and in order to provide the camp
site for the boys of the State a s10,-
900 loan was negotiated. Not one
penny has yet been raised to retire the
loan. but the Y. NJ. c. A. leaders who
the loan are daily growing
more pleased with their decision and
believe that the State Y. N. c. A. is
already fully justified for the making
