BUSINESS NOW |NCREAS.
ING RAPIDLY
New Shoe Factory Doing Finely

Very satisfactory work is now be-
ing done at the Somerset Shoe Fac
tory. The complaint about the shoe
business in general and of this fac
tory in particular, when it first start
ed was that the shoes went thru the
works in uneven lots and that some
portion of the crew were for that rea-
son always out of work. Mr. Wild
der, the present manager is crank
in the continuous performance line.
1t is his constant aim to have the
shoes pass along in unvarying sup
ply so that not one workman in the
whole establishment will be waiting
for either shoes or material This
condition has been very nearly real
ized, at the present time, very much
to the satisfaction of employer and
operatives.
The product averaged about "a,
thirty-siX pair cases, during this
week and everything points to from
35 to 40 cases by the middle of next
month. About 100 hands are now at
work, with more being added right
along, and this weeks pay roll is the
largest since the factory started.

BOARD OF HEALTH STATEMENT
Condition Improving and Schools 10
Reopen November 20

The diphtheria situation appears to
be clearing, during the past two
weeks only two cases have made
their appearance. If conditions re-
main the same during the week, the
schools will reopen next Monday,
November 90
The Board of Health request that
all those who have been in quaran-
tine will have their children present
to the teachers a certificate of health
issued by their family physician, in
order that we may safeguard the pu-
pills who have not been exposed to
the disease.
The Board of Health have been en-
deayoring to find out the cause of the
disease and have followed out sever
al suggestions that have been freely
given them during the past month.
We have made a thoro inspection
of the School Buildings as to their
sanitary condition including the Pa
rochial School Buildings which had
been pointed out to us as a place
where unsanitary conditions existed.
Permit us to say relative to this
claim that we found the building in
first class condition better if possible
than exists in the public school
buildings. but wherever we went, all
places were as sanitary as they could
possibly be and we are convinced
that no suspicious places exists in
any school building in town.
When the schools reopen next
Monday every pupil will be under the
inspection of the School Physician
and a daily inspection will follow as
long as it is deemed necessary

DIR. Smiths Lecture Next Sunday
Evening

The people of Skowhegan and
vicinity are again reminded of the
lecture on Prohibition as National
Issue, at the Skowhegan Opera House
next Sunday evening at 7.30. The
subject is, of course, worthy the at
tention of everyone, 1t will be made
specially interesting by the very lat
est returns, showing how the coun-
try stands on prohibition since the
recent election. Dr. Smith comes
here direct from Chicago, where he
has been in attendance, this week, at
the American Mining Congress and
where, in his capacity as Director of
the United States Geological Survey,
he addressed the session on the Cost
of Coal.
This opportunity to greet one of
Skowhegan's most disguished citi-
zens should ensure large audience
at next Sunday evenings meeting.

COMMUNITY BAZAAR
A SUCCESS
Efforts of Citizens Re-
warded Last Week
Substantial sum Realized Many Out
of Town Guests Present

The Community Bazaar at North
Anson last Thursday and Friday was
a most decided success. Favorable
weather conditions lot Of hard
work and the presence Of many vs.
itors all combined to make it not only
a financial but also a social success.
The total receipts were almost $12oe
and the register showed representa-
tiyes from thirty-three towns III al
tendance during The two days.
Perhaps the most interesting sin
gle feature Of the bazaar was the
doll-carr-age parade at Carrabassett
Hall on Thursday evening under the
direction Of Mrs Lizzie D Holley and
Mrs. Nellie p Wing The children
with their dolls and teddy bears all
dressed for the occasion formed
most charming spectacle as they
wound in and out Of the aisles of the
crowded house The singing of the
children under the direction Of Mrs.
Nelson. in the numbers that followed
was really a delight The band also
did itself proud
Friday evening the Madison Ora
matte ClGb under the direction OF
Miss Laura May Carpenter. gave its
version Of Charles Hawtrey's Priv
ate Secretary" before the largest
crowd that has ever assembled in
Carrabassett Hall The play itself
was perhaps another evidence of the
much felt lack of plays suited for
amateur work but the acting was
good and showed evidence of con-
siderable dramatic ability and excel
lent training on the part of the young
actors
The Bazaar proper was held in
Grange Hall. The most noteworthy
features there We're the splendid din
ners served under the direction of
Mrs. Alice Simmons. Mrs Jennie
Bailey and Mrs Sarah French. as
sisted by splendid corps of helpers.
Meals were served to about 200 peo-
pie and the receipts totalled about
$3.50.
Among the various tables. the NJ Is
cellaneous table in charge of Mrs.
Field Mrs Witham and Mrs. David
Bailey with its sixty-two odd dollars
showed the highest receipts The
Candy Table under the direction of
Mrs. Jennie Sawyer and N IS Ber-
nice Bailey brought in $55 and the
Basket Table under Ms. Lula Clark
notable for its artistic arrangement
brought in $41.
Among the guessing contests. the
barrel Of flour. which brought in $33
went to Ross Quint; the picture by
Mrs Hutchins which brought in
$3.50 Went to N. l. French; the
basket went 10 c f Hutchins
The electric iron went 10 DR. Mars
ton and the doll TO Mrs. T c And
reWs
Miss Nelson as fortune teller play
ed her part to perfection and was
followed everywhere she went by an
admiring crowd of youngsters
The mile Of pennies in charge OF
Mrs Bunker amounts to date TO
little over $500 and constitutes an
important facroe in the total receipts.
Greatest credit is due not only TO
the management of the bazaar but
also 10 the community in general. It
is not every community that is cap
able of working together so success
fully and the bazaar has clearly dem
onstrated the fine spirit of fellowship
and cooperation which exists among
the ppoule pf North Anson

TRANSFER MONEYS
TO GENERAL FUND

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
afternoon transferred S19,639.77 to the
county's general fund from the coun-
ty bridge, highway bridge and War
er's Ranch road funds.
The money will be later returned to
the three funds shortened by thetrans-
fer.
On account of an unusual drain on
the general fund by necessary rebates
to those taxpayers who had been as
sessed more than their quota of taxes.
it was found essential that the general
fund be strengthened to the extent of
the available funds.
