is also an orphans cross" made Of
brass and sold for the benefit Of the

GARDINER WOMAN
M E M B ERSHIP IN
BOARD OF TRADE

Those who came in contact with F.
S. Smith, the genial president of Gar
diners Board Of Trade, on Thursday,
probably noticed that his smile was a
little broader and his good nature bub-
bled forth a little more politically than
usual No wonder twas thus and here's
the reason:
Gardiner Me, April s, 1916
Dear Mr.. Smith:
After reading your letter am send
ing my subscription to the treasurer Of
the Board of Trade and am glad to
consider myself a member of that i'm
portant body.
Il wonder how many women belong
to the Board of Trade of our city.
wonder if all the women merchants and
saleswomen belong to it. Would it NOT
be good plan for them to do so? Wo-
men certainly play an important part
m our merchant service, and it would
seem as If sharing in the responsible
ties of the Board Of Trade might he
heipful to them and to 1t. I merely
make this suggestion, which may yery
likely have occurred to you before Be-
lieve me
Faithfully yours,
LAURA E. RICHARDS"
Needless to say that not only Presi.
dent Smith but all officers and members
of the Board heartily commend such
step by all interested.

City Marshal Harvey of this city re-
ceived a telephone message from the
chief of police in Portland about 100
o'clock Thursday afternoon to the eff
feet that boy ans. ering the descrip-
ton of the missing Hallowell lad and
who gave his name as John Wiley
was being held there at police head
quarters. Mrs. George Wiley, mother
of the boy, was at once notified by
Marshal Harvey and she left on the
Ala train Thursday afternoon for
Portland to bring the boy home. Young
Wiley has been missing from his home
at Loudon Hill since last Friday morn
ing and until yesterday no news of his
whereabouts had been received. The
Waterville police sent word early in
the week that a boy answering the
description Of the missing Wiley lad
was being held by them, but upon the
arrival in that city of the boys moth
er it was found to be a false clue and
she returned to her home in this city
greatly disheartened. No particulars
other than those stated in this article
were received from the police in Port
land in regard to the case and as the
lad was without funds when he left
home the fact that he was not found
for nearly a week seems remarkable.

GARDINER MAN
HAS NEW VENDING
CONTRAPTION

This season visitors at Old Orchard
beach will view as clever a piece of in
genuity. the handiwork Of Gardiner
man. Hiram Littlefield, as has been seen
for some time. The affair is sure to at
tract considerable attention and will
probably bring many sheckels into the
pocket of the inventor. The article in
question is peanut, popcorn and frank
fort stand fashioned after the manner
of an automobile. The contraption is
about seven feet in length, mounted on
bicycle wheels and built entirely of tin,
iron and wood. 1t weighs approximately
2oO pounds. Its motive power is man
and is pushed from behind. Its steering
apparatus is clever and is done by a
wheel in the rear. Heat is obtained from
gasoline and the tank is in the very top
of the machine. Facilities for popping
corn occupy the rear of the vehicle while
the peanuts and frankforts are displayed
In the front. A brake and clever ar
rangement allows the owner to ride
while descending grades. Mr.. Lttlefield
has done all the work himself and is
justly proud Of his handiwork.
