Proposed Apple Barrel Factory

E. E. Light of Union, ]. E. Ellis OF
Brooks, E. d. Cressey OF
Standish and The Farmers
Machine Darrell Co. of Readfeld
are among the firms who have recent
ly been investigating the apple bar
rel question in this section. 1t is
probable that some one or all of them
would go to making barrels here in
the early future. Skowhegan people
who have vacant buildings which
might be used for the purpose or va
cant lots conveniently located would
do well to communicate with these
people. Also those with lumber to
sell-especially small Ar logs would
find it to their advantage to write
these parties what they have to offer.
One party writes that they use both
soft and hard wood and that he would
want the logs 10 or II feet long. The
fir sticks or any lumber for the slaves
can be anywhere from to 10 inches
in diameter. Logs for the heads
could be from to inches or from
Is inches to IS inches in diameter.
The inquiry Is also made as to the
average annual crop of apples within
a 10 miles radius of Skowhegan.

planned a tour of about six or seven
weeks and on their return will prob
ably go at once to Mr. Healy's beau
tiful country place at Cold Spring

fall before they are seen in the Healy
Brooklyn residence on Columbia

Mr. Healy has an art gallery that vies

any druggist and a few applications
should show you how easy it is to
rid yourself Of the homely freckles
and get beautiful complexion
Rarely is more than one ounce need

Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee OF
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.

Ask the Engineer
We hope you have in your acquaint-
ance competent engineer.
We would like you to get his opinion
of the Hupmobile.


Engineers constitute little world of and unto
themselves. They are keen critics, but
generous ones, when they encounter good work.
And these sharpest of observers say the Hup-
mobile is good
In Detroit-where there are many automobile
engineers-one hears the highest praise of the
Hupmobile.
1t would be too much to say that there is not
dissenting voice regarding the Hupmobile
among Detroit engineers.
But it would be hard to find one who holds an
unfavorable view.
By common consent they have settled on the
Hupmobile as car they can unite in COM
mending
Now this is not mere sentiment or friendliness
Reputable engineers will not barter away their
professional standing by unmerited praise.
When they approve of the Hupmobile-and
especially of its splendid small bore, long
stroke motor-that approval means something
It is an endorsement founded on extraordinary
experience and knowledge.
1t is source of pride to us-and recommen-
datlon you can not afford to overlook. Take
the engineers expert opinion along with all the
other good things that you hear about the
Hupmobile. Let us prove the Hupmobile in a
quality test.

SUMMONS MAGNATES.
Gilmore Says Trust Suit VIII Settle
All Baseball Controversies.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 6.-Summonses were
issued today for owners of the Is clubs
in the National and American Leagues
and members of the National baseball
commission to appear before Judge
Lands Of the United States district
court here on January 20, the date set
for hearing of the Injunction sought by
the Federal League in its bill filed
Tuesday charging that organized base
ball is operating in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The injunction asked seeks to restrain
the twenty-One defendants named in
the bill as constituting the baseball
trust from tampering with players now
under Federal League contract and from
interfering, in any manner, with the
operations of the league.
James A. Gilmore, president Of the
Federal League, in a statement today
said the suit would wipe out the small
er cases now pending between the
Federals and organized baseball and
determine in one action all differences
existing between the rival leagues.
Zone of the most pleasing features of
the bill" read President Gilmore
statement, was the opportunity pre-
scented to determine all legal difficulties
between organized baseball and the
Federal League before the United
States district court. By SO doing the
legal controversies during the playing
season will be eliminated and the in
terest in the game of baseball will not
be impaired by unnecessary court pro-
ceedings.''
