BELFAST
Three Bangor Lads Are Held
Charged with Breaking and
Entering Several Stores
Offer Some Resistance

Three Bangor lads. armed to the
teeth with goods alleged to have been
taken from Rice & Miller's in Bangor
last Thursday night, were held here
Saturday until Chief O'Donahue Of
Bangor came for them in a machine
Saturday night.
Word came in from Winterport that
the general store Of Charles Hills had
been entered on Friday night. In the
meantime they had struck Frankfort
and two Of them had been captured
by Donald Drake. These were Ed
ward Harrington and P. J. Doherty,
aged Is years. The other Herbert
Kenney aged IS got away and took to
the mountain. He was chased for
some time and it was pretty near
Prospect that he was finally taken in
to custody. They had all sorts OF fire
arms and one of them made good use
of them as far as he could before he
was captured. AS there is enough to
hold them in Penobscot county it is
understood that Hill will not prefer
charges. They got only few dollars
and some jack-knives. Harrington
and Doherty were arrested in Belfast
about two weeks ago as runaways.
S. A.. Parker who is to be the his
torian on the occasion Of the 50th an
niversary of Timothy Chase Lodge, F..
& A. NJ. on Thursday also was his
torian on that occasion of that orders
25th anniversary. At that time he
had just become a Mason and it some
thing Of a coincidence that he should
be chosen to the same position 25
years later.
The Jubilee anniversary of the Rog-
er Conant family association will be
held in Salem June 10th and all de-
scendants are cordially invited to at
tend. Roger Conant was the first set
tier and founder Of Salem. Mass, and
a statue Of him was erected a few
years ago In the city square by his
descendants. A number of the family
are residents Of Belfast.
While hauling 40-foot section OF
the penstock to Hiramdale falls, for
the Penobscot Bay Electric Co. on
Saturday, the horses of the Belfast
Trucking Co. four in number. were
injured, two Of them quite badly. In
crossing the bridge some of the
blocking gave way and the section
slipped, and it is very fortunate that
the horses were not killed.

the new trade slogan, Made in the
U. S. A." will have a direct bearing
in shifting the center Of doll manufac-
ture from Europe to America.
The following toys are now made
in this country from American woods:
Toy animals, blocks, cannon and forts,
children's chair, circus sets, dolls, doll
furniture, games, Christmas tree hold
ers, swing jumpers, children's pianos,
pastry sets, babies play yards, toy
shooting galleries, hobby horses, pop
guns, toy wagons, toy autos and wheel
barrows. Eastwood is the principal
material for wooden toys and for
wooden parts of metal toys. The bass
wood doll, in particular, is unique and
ingenious. All parts of it are made
of wood and are artistically carved
and enameled in color 1t is difficult
to tell that it is made OF wood when it
is finished The various parts of the
body are joined with steel bands which
not only give great flexibility and free
dom of movement, but together with
the wood make the doll practically in
destructible.
Next to Eastwood, sugar maple,
beech birch and white pine are the
principal woods used for toys, al
though elm. oak, chestnut, ash, yell
low poplar and others enter into toy
manufacture. Pennsylvania, which
stands first among the states in toy
manufacture, alone uses the equivalent
of nearly 6.5OO,0O0 board feet of tim
Der for toys, with total value of
$4,000 each year. The total amount
of wood used annually in the United
States for toy manufacture is nearly
100000 feet, and the principal toy
manufacturing states after Pennsyl-
vania are. in order, Wisconsin, Maine,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Vermont,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

berg, Germany, is famed throughout
the world as toy center.
1t must not be supposed, however.
that little girls will have to go with
out dolls this year. Several manu-
facturers in the United States are
turning out dolls by the thousands
and they are of the very best type.
One large factory in Philadelphia is
making, under special processes, a
type Of indestructible doll from bass
wood, which is a light and easily
worked material and is not likely to
split or break. Those who have made
a study of this manufacture, in con-
nection with the study of the wood-us-
ing industries of the state of Pennsyl-
vania, predict that dolls of the type
made by this and other similar fac
tories can gain first place for America
in this branch of manufacture. Thus,
