HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS

When Caesar took a westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls for
Rome,
What was the first thing that ne
did
To make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads,
And liberty forbid?
no. he dug in and built good roads,
That's what Did Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the foeman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel
That Roman rule was best?
What did he do to make them glad
He came their lands amid,
He built good roads in place of
bad
That's what old Caesar did
He built good roads from hill to
hill,
Good roads from vale to vale;
He ran a good roads movement
Till old Rome'got all the kale.
He told the folks to bny at home,
Build roads their rats to rid,
Until all roads led up to Rome
That's what old Caesar did.
If any town would make itself
The center of the map,
Where folks would come and set
tie down
And live in plenty's lap;
If any town its own abodes
Of poverty would rid,
Let it go out and build good roads
Just like old Caesar did. -(Ohi,
Motorist.

from long association with the

and somewhat erratic at times, for

times doesn't always come up to

HUSBAND OF THE
100000 HE|RESS
REFUSES TO TALK

Carl E. Coburn, automobile chauf-
feur. whose wife, Elsie Roderick CO.
burn, is reported to be the heiress Of
over 100000, was seen Monday af-
ternoon by a reporter, at his home, I
Oak street.
Il haven't anything to say about
it, said Mr.. Coburn, anticipating the
reporters Grand I'VE don't know yet
whether it is so or not and we don't
know how much the amount it. The
matter is being settled up in Boston
and l don't believe any of the pa
pers have got it straight yet or know
anything about it,
Mr.. Coburn admitted, however, that
the amount was a large one-some-
thing over two million dollars and
that it includes copper mining prop
erty and several manufacturing es-
adjustments including a starch fac
tory. He also admitted that 1T is be-
ing fixed up in Boston,"
A friend of Mr.. Coburn's, to whom
he told the story a short time ago in
confidence, says that about two weeks
ago a lawyer from Boston came to
Waterville inquiring for a girl by the
name Of Elsie Roderick, and upon her
being identified as Mrs. Coburn, he
visited the Coburns at their home.
The lawyer and a Pinkerton detective
also went to Belfast and interviewed
a possible claimant there. but return
ed to Waterville and expressed them
selves as satisfied that Mrs. Coburn
was the party sought.
1t seems that about 10 years ago
Mrs. Coburn saved young boy from
drowning in the Kennebec river, by
padding out in boat and keeping
the lad above water until help reach
ed him. This boy was the son of the
Minnesota man whose will has lust
been probated. The will provided that
the amount Of money going to this son
should. If he were deceased at the time
of the probation of the will, go to the
Maine girl who had saved his life. The
understanding is the boy is dead.

Maine. The Aroostook division will in

Potato Outlook Hopeful
That the outlook for the Maine potato
crop and the potato growers of Maine
during the coming season is most hopeful
is the opinion Of Mr.. Embree. 1t is re-
ported that the crop in the winter states
is short. and 1t is the winter states with
which Maine Is in competition. Should
this report be substantiated by results
later on, Maine potatoes would stand a
good chance to sell at considerably
higher figure than last year. The potato
acreage in Maine this year will be IL per
cent. less than year ago, Mr.. Embree

taken at the annual meeting in June,
the headquarters Of the Maine Farm
ers' Union will be removed to Water
vile. announces c. E. Embree Of this
city, manager Of the Union. who will
reside in the Elm City after that date.
The change is made for the reason
that the Union is centralizing at Wat
erville, building general Offices, grain
supply stores. and retail stores. 1t is
also felt that Waterville is nearer the
center Of the potato growing sections
south Of Aroostook and for that rea-
son Is more convenient for business
In Watervlle the Union maintains a
wholesale grain house, retail grain house,
retail grocery store, grain elevator, pota-
to house, and is now building offices
nearby. While Bangor is nearer the big
Aroostook shipping points, Waterville Is
more convenient to the potato growers of
Central Maine and the Union is consid-
ering their interests.

CEN. MADERO'S
OPINION OF OUR
MEXICAN POLICY

Ell Paso. Tex, Aug. 9.-Gen. Racul
Madero. commander of a division of
the Villa forces, Villa governor Oh
Nuevo Leon state and member of the
family Of the late President Francisco
Madero, issued statement which was
made public today on the peace plan
OF the Pan-American conference. Gem
eral Madero said:
Nothing is more desired by the
Mexican people than the re-establish-
ment of peace and stable government,
but the pride of a sovereign people
naturally demands that If assistance
must come from an outside source 1t
must be accomplished with honor to
ourselves and without in any way in
fringing our national pride,
During this revolution many peo-
pie have openly advocated what is
called armed Intervention. President
Wilson followed the even course, which
now seems to be eliminating in sat-
isfactory solution.
The people Of Mexico are beginning
to think for themselves. In 1910, the
principle reforms fought for were po-
htlcal; that is to say, a certain man
for President, with no reelection, and
equal franchise. The agrarian problem
was considered in a secondary way.
To-day. as evidenced not only by the
successive plans of several leaders but
by the acts and statements Of the lead
ers and the people as we'll, we have a
very patent indication Of the healthy
growth which the Mexican people have
gone through and that the finished
product is very nearly ready to emerge
from the fur mace.
1T Is my belief that foreign capital
must and will be encouraged to invest
in Mexico and it will receive every
guarantee and protection. I do not
mean that special privileges should be
given as was the rule Of Porfirio Diaz,
but that capital tending to establish
industries and earn its right to be in
vested will be encouraged.
