Monday merning and it proved to be a
most attractive place. The. show room

1t is expected that Tuesday will be
a good day for touring as the roads
about the city are in fairly good shape
and it is possible to go west as far as
one wishes without getting into hard
roads. East from Waterville the bad
roads begin just the other side Of Gin
ton and are reported to continue clear
into Bangor. Between Clinton and
Burnham they are in frightful con-
dition and on many of the cross roads
there are bad mud holes. If the day Is
fair, however, about everyone in the
city who owns a car will doubtless be
out and will take trip into the coun-
try.

employees who are enrolled in the ex-
peditionary forces sent to the Mexican
border is denounced by Theodore
Roosevelt He declares in letter re-

TO believe such action can be taken
by the federal government. The col
onel hurls the following at the Wilson
administration:
II think that is one of the most ex-

II is hard for me to believe that such
action can be taken by the federal
government as indicated in the state

guard by order OF the administration
and then by order OF administration
to dismiss the government employees
who responded to the call. is an almost
