BANKS HELP FARMERS

Banks in several Michigan towns
have been helping the apple growers
to sell their product. A number of
these banks have had the appearance
of regular apple shows for several
weeks. Booths have been erected in
which specimens of the different varie-
ties of apples are shown marked with
the name of the farmer and in some
instances the market price.

DEPENDENCY THE
CAUSE OF WOMAN'S
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
IN RIVER, FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, Me-, July 2.-(SpeciaD. With
her suitcase in her arms, which was
packed very carefully with her worldly
possessions, Mrs Ida Marden, who makes
her homo with her sister, Mrs. William
LaPlant, on Burrill street. jumped into
the Kennebec river shortly after l o'clock
but was prevented from doing so by
the quick action Of persons who were
near. The cause of the act Is thought to
have been dependency. Mrs. Marden
claims as her home town Vassalboro,
where her husband resides. and she came
to this town several months ago to earn
her livelihood She appealed to First
Selectman Lafayette Bray, who is over
seer of the poor, for work. and when it
was thought that she could not find work
in the town Mr.. Bray offered to allow
her to go to the town farm. She went
to the town farm but showed her dissat-
isfaction by leaving without notice.
From that time on, which was last
spring, she tried her hand at various
things, and thinking that nothing else
remained for her to do. attempted to
put an end to her life. After being
taken from the water efforts to revive
her were successful and she was then
taken to the home Of Mrs. Mary Charity,
Water street. where at last reports she
was resting comfortably and seemed to
be very little disturbed over the near
disaster: i, probable that the town
will now take the woman In charge and
see that she is attended to, although she
is cosadered a charge Of the town Of
vassAlboro.

MUCH PRAISE FOR THE
EXCELLENT WORK OF
STREET COM'R ESTY

Street Commissioner Esty is recelv-
ing much praise for the excellent work
which he is doing on the streets OF
waterville thus early in his term OF
Office. One Of the undertakings now
nearing completion is the section OF
newly constructed road on Gilman
street from a point near the Hayden
brook nearly to the Messalonskee
stream. This was first plowed out;
then six inches of blue clay was laid,
and over this the best quality of grav-
ell. 1t was plowed again to mix the
gravel and the clay. The clay is the
same quality as that OF which bricks
are made, and from its composition
forms a kind Of cement which holds
the gravel together. The rain of Thurs
day came at just the right time to
settle the newly-built road. and Fri
day the steel drag was at work shap-
ing the road The work of rebuilding
the Gilman street bridge over the Mes
Salonskee is making good progress and
when it is done the city will have a
bridge good for so or 60 years to come.
Among the more important work COM
pleted, or under construction by the
department is the = re-gravellinS OF
Spring street. which is a good job that
is going to wear well. A section of
North street has been re-gravelled,
from Main to Pleasant streets. and
Pleasant place, short cut that is fire.
guently taken by teams and automo-
biles, has been re-gravelled and roll
ed. Middle street and Getchell street
have been re-gravelled and rolled, and
there is a big job of regravelling now
in progress on Burleigh street, the
section being about half mile long.
Silver street should not be omitted.
A long section of this street has been
made perfectly smooth for automobiles
and teams, and the surface, with its
Oil coating to lay the dust. is a verita-
BILE delight. This is not yet completed,
the department being about to turn its
attention to the section from the end
of the present construction to Main
street. Much other work, including the
concrete crossing just completed be-
tween the postoffice and The Elmwood,
will go far toward making Waterville
a more beautiful and delightful place
in which to live.
