Follow the golden trail.

a Bath Times representative met
one Of the State Highway Commits
sioners at Augusta Thursday and was
told that the new federal road be-
tween Portland and Brunswick would
be completed before the end OF July.
Last year there was considerable de-
lay in getting started upon the work,
but this spring everything is on the
ground. and work will be begun and
rushed to completion just as soon as
the frost is out Of the ground. Over
100000 gallons Of asphaltic oil will
De required for this road at a cost Of
nc. per gallon. Over one-half of
the road is completed with the ex-
ception Of putting down some new
culverts and bridges which it Is up
to the different towns to do. The
commission hopes to begin work upon
the Bath Brunswick end this sum-
mer and in all probabili it will be
a gravel road of modern construc-
ton, the same as has been built from
brunswick east during the past few
years. In fact many people believe
the gravel road fully as good as the
oltuminous macadam, which has
been built from Brunswick, west.
The route will no doubt be via. Mud
dy bridge and Hams hill, leaving the
road via. New Meadows Inn and
Hardings for the future.

An announcement of much interest
to the public was made Monday by
George NJ. Houghton, passenger traffic
manager. that Commencing Feb. list.
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad will
place on sale milage books contain
ing coupons for 500 miles Mr. Hough-
ton made the somewhat surprising
statement that never from any source
whatever had any application been
received by the company to issue such
book; that at the time the Maine
Central adopted a 500 mile book the
matter was discussed by the manage
ment of the Bangor Sc Aroostook Rail-
road and it was decided then that
whenever request from any represen-
tative source should be received, that
ruch hooks would then be placed on sale
but no such request has ever been
received but, it appears from various
articles in different newspapers that
opinion is divided as to whether or not
the bill passed by the last legislature
is now law, or whether it has to
await possible referendum, under
which circumstances it would not go
into effect until about July l. This
company having no objections to the
issuance Of such books decided to put
them on sale at an early date, the 1000
mile books being withdrawn at the
same time.

r. Norman Marsh Of Rockland, old
est railway mail clerk in the State,
retired from government employ
Monday, after serving in that capac-
ity 43 years and three weeks. Ill
health led to his resignation. Mr..
Marsh probably made more trips over
the Knox & Lincoln Division than any
other man living. for, in addition to
his long service as mail clerk, he was
a brakeman when the road was COM
pleted and was conductor Of the
gravel train which was employed in
the construction Of the roadbed. His
familiarity with the route dates back
to the time when the Knox & Lincoln
Railroad was only a subject Of agi-
tation. In those days he drove one of
the famous stage coaches between
Rockland and Bath. That was d.
rectly after the Civil War; in which
he had seen az years as a member OF
the I'd Maine Battery. Mr.. Marsh
made his first trip as mail clerk on
Christmas day. 1871. and six months
later his route was extended e
Brunswick. The growth Of the mail
business has been remarkable" said

TO REVIEW The EARLY
HISTORY OF Delaware

The special meeting of the Histori-
cal Society of Delaware, TO be held
Monday evening, will be an occasion
of great interest and considerable im-
porfance. Il will be addressed by DR..
Burton Alva KonlSle of Swarthmore.
Pa. on Some New Aspects of the
First Half Century of Delaware
For two years DR.. Konkle, under the
patronage of William p. Bancroft,
President Sharpless of Haverford Col
logo. Henry c. Frick Of Pittsburgh
and others, has been engaged in his
torical research preparatory to writ
ing and publishing 1.-The Life and
Times of David Lloyd. 1656-173l, a
Colonial Commoner."
In the course of his studies Or.
konkle made an exhaustive study of
the first half century of Delaware
and Pennsylvania with results as sur
prising to himself as they have proved
to be to other historical students,
such as Governor Pennypacker of
Pennsylvania and Professor Charming
of Harvard, who have declared his
results 10 be of the first importance
TO the understanding of the history
of those two States, and such as would
require an entire rewriting and revi-
sion of the commonly accepted views
of their early times.
AS this will be the last meeting Of
the Historical Society for the summer
and as the occasion will be note
worthy on account of the address Of
DR. Konkle, the society invites the
public generally to attend.

Chicago, Ill.,, Dec. discharges that Mrs. Lillian Beale, widow of John Beale, a sugar magnate, who died last year in Santa Barbara, Cal, leaving an estate of $1,5OO,O0O, obtained a di- vorce from her first husband by a fraud and, therefore, was not legally married to Beale nor entitled to share in his estate, were made in a motion filed in court here yesterday, on be- half of Arthur K. Stearns of Lake Bluff, Ill, a nephew of Beale. The motion sought to have the divorce set aside. The motion was denied, but attorneys for Stearns announced their intention to prosecute the case fur ther.
 The motion charged that the then Mrs. Daniel Wheeler Brown obtained 8 divorce in 1906 for the sole purpose of marrying MT. Beale, who died in July, 1914, making her the sole bene- iciary of his estate, and that she mar ried Beale three days after the divorce when she was 30 years old and he S1.

Berlin News FORMER RESIDENT
 DIES IN NEW HAVEN Mrs. Theron Upson Passes Away After Lingering Illness STORM CAUSES WORRY
Can a Man Serve Two Laws?-Trol- lev Reaches DepOt-HOrse DislO- cates Mans Arm-SnOW Fails to Terrify Members of Whist Club.

Word was received here this morn ing of the death of Mrs. Theron Op- son, which occurred at 6 o'clock in New Haven. Mrs. Upson was about 75 years old and has been suffering from a general breakdown the past few months. Mrs. Upson will be re- membered by the older people, for LID till twenty years ago she resided with her husband on the Percival place, now occupied by c. w. Stevens.
 MT. Upson, who died about seven years ago, was a prominent citizen of the town. He was the first secrc- tary and treasurer of the Berlin Sav- ings bank and for number of years held the position of state insurance commissioner. Previous to that he was employed as bookkeeper in the Peck Stow & Wilcox factory, which was then located near the present Paper Goods plant. Mrs Upson, dur ing her residence here, made many friends by her charming manner and the news of her death was received with much regret by her former neighbors and friends. She was member of the Kensington Congrega- tional church and was very active in the church. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
 Laws Conflict.
 There are two laws on the state statute book which conflict and as a result First Selectman Gibney is in a quandry. According to one sec
 ton, the first selectman of any town must open the roads of the town, so they may be in use within forty eight hours after the expiration of a storm, if possible. The work done by the town employees during the past two days shows it is possible, but here is the rub. Another statute says the first selectman of any town is ! liable to a fine of $1,0OO if he ex- ceeds the appropriation made for any department of the town at town I meeting. The recent town meeting, acting on the suggestion of the board of finance, appropriated the sum of $50 for the removal of snow. So the first selectman is worrying. The tele- phone in his house is constantly ring Ing and the one question is When will you get to this part of the town?'' The work of clearing the thorough fares is going on slowly but surely and Fin two days it is probable all roads will be open. The first trolley since Monday arrived at the depot this kmorning at 10 o'clock. A gang of thirty men was seen on the flats About S:45 o'clock, and the snow flew before their shovels. However, tho lact that the trolley reaches the

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur. properly compound ed brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents
 Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.
