learned how to care for an animal
ia a general way how 10 feed him
in order to make him produce the
most meat, how to market the meat
and how to care for brood SOW in
order to produce the largest and
best offspring. In short, these young
people have learned the fundamen-
tails of the livestock business
and they have brought to their work
all the enthusiasm and determine
ton of ambitious youth.
BY handling their pigs success
fully these boys and girls have
learned to make money on their own
initiative and some of them have
started bank account with the pro-
ceeds And in this respect the work
promises to be far-reaching, for if
boys and girls had more opportuni-
ty on the farm to make their own
spending money and procure for
themselves some of the privileges
and enjoyments which have been
denied to the majority of them here
tofore, the farm would cease to i'm
press them as &. place of drudgery
and incessant toll and would come
TO mean a place OF opportunity to
make money and enjoy the bless
ings which money can procure. A

Economic clubs movement over the
county, such as is being undertaken
by Mr.. Drake, Messrs. Quicksall and
Pipkin, and Mrs. Landrum of the
state department of agriculture, is
going to mean great things for this
county Immediately, but the imme-
date results will be only a fore
taste of the Developments that will
come when these boys an girls who
are now getting their first lessons in
stock raising and improved agricul-
ture come to be farmers and house
wives on their own accounts.
There is no reason why the coun-
try should not be as attractive a
place in which to make a career
as the city is. and when those who
live in the country come TO live up
to their full opportunities-come TO
make the largest possible returns
upon their farms. reap the prices
which diversified crops will bring
them and thus have the funds with
which to make their homes. schools,
churches. roadways and other re-
sources of that character attractive
and inyiting-it will be So And
the instruction which these boys and
girls are being given now in this
club work will go a long way in
laying the foundation for this tran

Carl Mays of the Red Sox, in an
interview printed in a western pa
per, admits he took Ty Cobbs bean
on the celebrated occasion when Ty-
rus retaliated by heaving his cud-
gel at the young shooter. Mays
seems to think he was doing a fine
and noble deed when he attempted
to knock the block off the Georgia
peach. Which only goes to show
that it will be several seasons yet
before he really becomes big lea

THE new $4,000 FILTER
PLANT or GARDINER WATER
DISTRICT NEARLY COMPLETED

germs in impure matter and sends forth
the water in an absolutely pure state.
The Plant.
The plant at the. New Mills consists,
first, Of four filter basins 55x73 feet
inside measure. and II feet high. The
clear water basin, into which the water
runs after the nitration process, lies
nearer the river and is 100x100 feet in
size and II feet in the clear In this
basin can be stored 10000 gallons of pure
water All five of these chambers are
constructed of concrete and $4,000 bags
of cement have been consumed in their
construction. The sand was carefully
selected and came from the Haley bank
at South Gardiner. Six and one-half tons
of iron has been used for reinforcing the
work and over 80 tons of cast iron pipe
has been used in making the necessary
connections. The walls vary in thick
ness. being four feet thick at the base
and six inches on top.
The little brick control house is situat-
ed between the four filter chambers 1t
is 15x16 feet in size and contains valves
of various sizes. A new pump has been
installed at the pumping station and will
be used for the purpose of filling the fill
ter beds. the old ones being used TO pump
the filtered water to the reservoir. 1t is
planned to have three of the filter beds
operating all the time, the fourth being
held in reserve.
Within few days time it is hoped by
the trestees that the water will be
pumped into the plant, only a few con-
nectlons remaining to be made. The
plant Will then be given a tryout for
several weeks. Samples of the product
Will be analysed from time to time until
the result shows such perfection of quail
~ as is desired by the trustees. A min
iature filter has been in operation near
the pumping station for several months
and has attracted considerable attention
The top of the filter beds and clear
water pasln Will be erased over in the
spring, thus adding to the appearance of
the plant. Architect Arthur T. Stafford or
Lowell. Mass, who received his train
ing under Mr.. Mills. is the designer and
Guy S. Demming has been the consult
ing engineer. Both have proved them
selves equal to the task.
The trustees of the district during the
year were l.. c. Ballard E l.. Russell
and Henry Richards the latter having
been replaced by Mr.. F. T. Bradstreet by
the present city council. Mr.. Richards
has been in close touch with the work
and planning of the entire system and
has been member OF. the board of trus-
tees since 1903. He was the first chair
man and has thorough knowledge of

A GIRLS COMPLEXION

Very few girls get through their
teens without eruptions or pimples
showing on their faces.
These may be due to Indigestion re-
sulting from improper diet. If SO they
will quickly disappear when the prop
er food is adhered to. If they are ac-
companied by pallor and listlessness
You must look to the condition Of the
blood.
Because these eruptions on the faces
OF school girls are so common they
seldom receive the attention from par
ents that they require. When they in
dicate thin blood or anemia there is a
ready remedy in Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. These tonic pills, free from
harmful drugs, are pretty sure to help
growing girls because they build up
the blood at q time when the demand
on 1t Is greatest. AS the blood is made
rich and red. tickle appetites become
normal. lassitude gives way to vigor,
the cheeks and lips show the glow Of
health and the whole system is toned
up. The nervous system is invigorated
and with proper attention to diet many
dangers are averted.

The new filter plant Of the Gardiner
Water District Is now rapidly nearing
completion. The plant, together with the
installation of water mains running to
South Gardiner will have cost the city,
when completed. rising $4,000. and will
doubtless be money well invested. The
plant is to be paid fof by bonds. issued
by the district, upon vote OF the citizens
of Gardiner. It is what is known as
slow sand filter and is the first of its
kind in Maine. The type Of plant was
decided upon by the trustees after a
careful investigation had been made OF
the various kinds in use.
"Purer water has been the constant
call of the people Of Gardiner. and this
has ever been the aim of the district
since it was taken over in 1903 from the
Gardiner Water Company. a private or
agreed upon by arbitration was $24s, 800.
The idea Of the construction Of the filter
was not hastily conceived nor hurriedly
undertaken, and 1t is believed by many
that the district have builded even better
than they knew. Frequent analysis Of
the water has shown that, although
ranking high for drinking purposes. there
has been tendency toward greater pollu-
ton as the years went by. due in more
or less degree to the large growth OF
the use of motor boats on the stream and
the erection of many new camps and cot
tages on the banks of the stream and
connecting ponds.
The first step. taken several years ago.
toward securing purer supply of water
was the removal of four or five houses
which stood just beyond the bridge and
close to the bank Of the stream. The
water is pumped from the stream at a
point near the New Mills bridge.
Since the inception of the filter idea
the trustees have given the matter care
full attention and few years ago the
plans of the district contemplated its
in about 1920. The fact that
this has come to pass matter of five
years sooner than anticipated is surely
a recommendation for the business poll
cies and practices Of the district
The slow sand filter was originated by
Fl. F. Mills. who was born and raised
in the city of Bangor. AS an engineer
he has been employed in Lowell 'and
Lawrence, Mass, and it was while at the
latter place he devised this method that
proved so successful. The process re-
luires sand and stones, the latter varying
in size from the size of ones two fists
to the size Of pea. A cardinal princi-
pie necessary to successful liberation By
this process is that the stones touch each
other. and the curtain of water passes
