The entire case is in the hands Of my
lawyer. Mervyn Wolff. and he has warn

amount is almost 100000, but l can
not really remember the names of all
the mortgages. much less the properties
involved. I think everything will be all
right later"

That men think funny Thinks
sometimes would seem to be shown in
the case of an Augusta merchant who
has been telling his friends that he be-
lieves that his barn moves, the reason
for that belief being. according to the
way he tells it, that in returning to
the barn in his automobile a few days
ago, after having enjoyed a short run
into the country west of the city, he
followed the same tracks that his car
had made in leaving the barn but did
not come within three feet Of the door.
way and went slam against the sids
of the barn. The car was not injured
to any great extent, and after back
ing it away from the barn he made an
other trial and that time found the en-
trance, but he still claims to believe
that on his return from the drive the
barn was not in the same place that he
left it on starting out.

Of sweet corn is to be planted but there

This cannery began operatio the fall
Of 1911 and it has been a decided success
ever since its establishment. This year
the farmers seem to be more than usu-

SK0WHECAN
The Pcstodice Going to Brown
Block, Government Having
Accepted Proposition of
Five-Year Lease
GREAT GOOD DONE BY THE
RECENT RAINS

The location of the Skowhegan post
office is 20 be changed and is to be
moved to the Brown block below the
railroad crossing, where the second
hand store is now located, Clyde H.
Smith. the owner having received word
from Washington that his proposition
for 5-year lease has been accepted.
MANY other bids had been presented
but this location seemed to be most
available. The Office has been located
for nearly 20 years in the Wentworth
block on Water street There has been
a big increase in business in the Office
and one of the reasons for changing is
for more space, 1850 square feet being
necessary. This change works in har-
mony with the tendency of business to
move below the crossing. In the past
few years that section of the street
has made big growth in the number
Of business places and the building OF
new blocks has been quite frequent
here. The City building has added to
this activity and the recent purchase
Of the Heselton lot on the corner Of
North and Water streets for the new
postoffice building has stimulated the
building and activity in this section
The government having taken a 5-year
lease of the Brown block for the post
Office does not necessarily mean that
Skowhegan will not have it's new post
Office building before that time, as the
contract for the government lease may
terminate any time the government
sees fit. The change will be made by
July /.
