Aged Maker Of ViOlinS Must
Move from Path of the New
Railroad Bridge at Fairfield

Not being able to play the violin Mr.
Ames does not trust himself in regard
to the true tone. Many Of his violins
are adjusted by his friend, Mr.. Andrews
of Bangor. This Bangor man has said
that in all his experience of testing
new violins he has never come in con-
tact with such violins so pure in tone
and perfect in key as those which MI
Ames makes.
Must Play to Sell
AS none Of the Ames' violins have
been sold by the maker for more than
$50 and many Of them have been resold
and sold again for double and treble
that price the truth Of Mr.. Ames' state
ment Is borne out. when he says, III
takes a person who can play Vlonn
to sell violin
Charles Ames. the Violin Maker OF
Fairfield, puts his heart, which by the
way is a Methodist heart and has been
for 60 years, and his soul. which he
has put in the keeping Of his Maker
for as many years. into the making OF
his violins. and there appears no rea-
son why he should be ashamed OF the
result.

that they would soon return.
"At the time we left we were satisfied
that the enemy's offensive was already
checked. I had been able to see all the
defensive precautions which were taken
and was aware of the strength of the

Verdun does not exceed four kilometers i"
Other refugees who have been inter-
viewed agree in stating that, despite the
terrific noise of the artillery fire and the
1urid illumination of the sky during Fri
day night and Saturday morning when
they left. all were supremely confident in
the superiority of their own army. They
say that the only civilian left in Yer
dun on Saturday was an employee of the
city hall. The last refugees were escort
ed by city firemen who. with admirable
devotion, aided the tired mothers to car
~ their children. The only sign of wor-
ry or evaporation by the retreating resi-
dents of Verdun was when the customs
employe inquired concerning the contents
of their packages.
The refugees were greatly touched by
the reception accorded to them on their
arrival at the station in Paris, when a
number of persons. including society wo-
men, offered to carry their baggage and
help them to places Of shelter

Portland. Me. March 2-Demands of
the Portland 1ongshofemen for 50 cents
an hour for handling grain were granted
last night by the various steamship lines
and the $50 men who went out on strike
at 3 O'Clock yesterday resumed work.
However. labor troubles at the Grand
Trunk Terminal here are evidently not
at an end as about 100 Italians who have
been employed in handling the freight
from the railroad cars to the sheds on
the wharf went out on strike this morn
ing demanding $50 per day for their
work, which is an increase of 80 cents
per day. The Grand Trunk Railway Off
Gals offered to give the men an increase
OF . cents per day. but up to a late
hour this afternoon this offer had not
been accepted.
Ofcials of the Grand Trunk said this
afternoon that the action of the Italian
strikers will not seriously affect the load
ing of the ships now in port as there is
vast amount of freight in the sheds.
The longshoremen claimed that thew
were entitled to 60 cents an hour for
handling grain regardless of the fact
that it was in bags. The railroad and
steamship officials claimed that the grain
In bags would come under the classical
ton of package freight, for which the
men have received 35 cents an hour.

the town farm we find ourselves be-
hind. The year being hard one for
crops and the number of poor cared for
at the farm small. Although the farm
does not show to be self-supporting
for the year. we feel that the towns
expenditures on support Of the poor
are smaller by reason of their owning
a farm we'll equipped to care for the
poor.
During the past year s15 has been
paid by the town for sheep damaged
by dogs, and this amount has been re-
imbursed by the State. The farmers

Principal Partridge Of the Lawrence
High school, in his report recon-
mended to the voters the purchase Of
