one OF the finest pieces Of work Of the
Kind they have ever seen. The most
OF the work Is in black ink, though soft
shades or green, yellow, red and brown
are used, producing a beautifully clear
and handsome effect. A remarkable
feature is the lettering, hand work Of
course. like the rest of the map. The
words and figures stand out as clearly
and distinctly as copperplate. The
words NEW BRUNSWICK" runs
lenSthwise of the map on one side

did the work could not have done a

inc from that illustration the time
necessary to do all the great amount
of lettering on the entire map.
Down in the lower left-hand corner
is table of elevations and distances,
which shows that the map covers a
distance of 1902 miles on the western
branch and 161 miles and 40 rods from
the Calais bridge to Grand Chepetna-

failed to locate it, though an old rec
ord said that such a map was in
Vault D in the Rotunda." That
didn't help a great amount, consider
ing that the Vault D went out Of ex-
istence when the present Capitol
building was erected. Mr.. Danforth
found that one VIM. Arson Of Port
land, a well-known civil engineer and
surveyor Of his day, had under date Of
Feb. 6. 1897 made report to the 18th
Legislature of Maine Of his work in
surveying part of the st. Croix river,
under orders from the Board of In
ternal Improvements" 1t was a water
power investigation and the report is
very complete. 1t mentions the map
as accompanying the report and Mr..
Danforth again went on the search for
it. Success followed his efforts and he
at last found it tucked away in for
gotten corner.
Mr.. Danforth says the hand work in
the map is the equal Of anything he has
ever seen and also that the facts and
figures recorded theron check up re-,
markedly close to the findings Of later
surveys, a fine testimonial to the ac-I
curacy and honesty Of the Engineer,
Arson. He hopes to have the map

existence and copies should be had. I'M

demonstration in the town OF Rumford.
The provisions of the law require that a
person to gain assistance as a poor man
or pauper he or she must have resided
five years in the place. Otherwise the
town or city in which they. then reside
will furnish the necessary relief and then
the place in which the party had pre-
viously gained a five-years residence
must refund. Rumford found its poor
bills proposition to work out in 1915 about
as follows:
The town spent for the support of poor
the sum of $685. 1t received back from
the State for the support Of State pau
pers the sum Of $31s5.63 and from towns
for the same purpose the sum Of s72S. 81,
total of $S714.15 refunded, leaving $5l35 So
as the towns own expense, and showed
that about two-fifths OF this towns pau
per expense. on account of the five-years
half of other places.
A noteworthy feature of the report of
the poor account of the town of Rumford
is the fact that while the total expense
of running the almshouse for the year
1915 was sl411.55, the town received for the
board and care Of the inmates the sum of
$l542. showing a balance in favor of the
town Of $l30.55. The town was not in the
business of running the almshouse for
profit. but it is much to the credit of
Rumford that the service at that insti-
tuition was appreciated by those who en-
joyed its hospitality.

They're Worth Having

Two packages were received Satur-
day at the Office Of the treasurer Of
State which almost anyone would car
ry home. had they the opportunity.
The first was from the American Bank
Note Co., and contained the recently
authorized State Highway Good Roads
issue of bonds, valued at $500. 900, after
they have been signed by State Treas
urer Elmer E. Newbert, countersigned
by Governor Oakley c. Curtis and at
tested by State Auditor ]. E. Sullivan.
They are handsome pieces Of bond
work and will no doubt be appreciat-
ed by their future owners.
The second package contained an in
novation so far as the department of
State is concerned, being a new issue
of State of Maine checks in the form
Of those so generally used in the COM
cercial envelopes. The consignment
consists Of $4,000 blank checks, 10000
each for the FIVE active banks in which
the State Of Maine deposits funds. The
name Of the bank is printed on each
of the checks allotted for its use. A
space is left for the name Of the par
ty for whom the check is drawn and
that also serves as the address, when
inserted in the envelope. The saving
Of time, as we'll as Of material, to say
nothing Of the convenience will be
marked.

WATCH SHORTAGES IN
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

The attention of the Bureau of Weights
and Measures at the State House has
been frequently called to the fact that
butter and other articles Of food are be-
ing sold at short weight, and when the
informant is asked to make complaint, or
give the name of the parties selling the
goods, invariably the reply is that the
amount Of short weight is small and the
person who made the purchases does not
care to be known, and many other ex-
cuses.
The following communication in regard
to weights and measures was issued from
that department Saturday:
Housekeeping is a profession and a
business. The housekeeper Is the head Of
the receiving and checking department Of
the business side of the home. 1t is her
duty to see that one dollar buys 100 cents
worth.

Your Postmaster

is an important man in the eommun-
ity. He has many things to look
after, and watches the time for the
arrival and departure of the mails
very carefully. If he didn't follow the
regular schedule, things would be in
a pretty fix. But he knows the value
of regularity and takes good care to
get the mails off on time. In mat
tiers of health the postmaster's ex.
ample is a good one to follow: Keep
your habits regular. and when the
stomach, liver or bowels need help, be
sure to take the right remedy in time.
Neglect to do this makes matters
worse and harder to remedy. Many
postmasters in New England viii tell
you that Il. F." Atwood's Medicine
is a fine remedy to keep the system in
order. It is great regulator, acting
promptly in cases Of indigestion, sick

tective work in the Maine forestry dis
trlct during the past year the sum OF

formerly. and the federal department
took over the lookout service and ma
