City VIII Have Silver Black Fox
Farm

Plans are now under way for a
Silver Black Fox farm here in
Augusta. The Skowhegan fox farm
stock has been purchased by Au-
gusta men, who now own three pairs
of high grade foxes and the plans are
to move the entire farm to this city.
All three pairs of the foxes at Show
hogan have mated, and fine lot oil
pups are expected very soon.
1t is the intention of the company
to stock the farm with about 10 pairs
of foxes during the coming summer,
and they will have on the farm moth
ing but the very highest grade stock,
what are known as standard bred
pedigreed foxes.
The company is to start the build
ing of the new ranch as soon as the
frost is out of the ground, and intend
TO have a model and thoroughly up
to-date fox farm. The men who are
connected with this new enterprise
know the fox business very thor
oughly one of them having been in
the business for the past ten years
and having become independently
rich through the sale of foxes for
breeding purposes and skins from
these animals.
Fox ranches are starting up all
over the country and there are sev-
cral here in Maine. all of which are
on a sound footing. and since the
United States government has inves-
tigated the industry and issued an
extensive bulletin speaking of its
merits. more interest has been cen
tered in the enterprise. The names OF
the men engaged in this work are
not to be published at present, being
withheld at their request.-Kennebee

Doctor Burmeister has restored to

dead animal, accompanied with the
regular methods of artificial respira-

Sisson, Cal.--Down in Box Canyon

One person who has seen him says
that his hair is long enough to Reach
to his hips and a heavy growth OF
beard covers his face. His garments
appeared to be OF strips OF blankets
or sacks tied around his body, and his
legs and feet were bare.

ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The Boys Band rehearsal was not
so we'll attended this week as on
previous occasions, but this can be
accounted for by the continued bad
weather which makes it almost i'm
possible for the boys living at
distance to be present. However, a
very useful evening was spent with
the six members who were able to
be out and possibly more progress
was made owing to the fact that at
tention was given to individual work.
This week the Young Ladies Club
met with Miss Elmer at the home of
Mrs. Ed. Johnson and very delight

attendance was recorded.

Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just a few APP

hanees its appearance hundred fold.

pound, which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-touse prepare
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides no one can possibly tell
as it darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush
with it, drawing this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, its natural
color is restored and it becomes thick
glossy and lustrous, and you appear
years younger.
