600 FLOUR MILLS IN U. s.
 USE ELECTRIC POWER
SIX Mills Using Electricity Today for
 One so Equipped in 1906.

The old time grist mill with it's moss-grown wheel and millrace. like the mule-drawn canal boat, is destined to be succeeded within a few years by new creations efficiently operated by electric power Research specialists of the General Electric Company. after a thorough mail canvass of the milling industry, have authentic evi- dence showing the steady gains made by electricity in the field of milling operations at one time occupied ex- clusively by steam, water and gas power
 Sir hundred and two milling firms are now using electricity in preference to steam, gas or even water power. Ten years ago the best list obtainable placed the total number of flour mills using electricity at less than 1O0 This means for every mill operated by electricity in 1906, at least six are equipped for using electricity today.
 A tabulation of millers buying cleo tricity and those generating it them. selves clearly indicates that wherever possible private plants for generating electricity are being shut down and the necessary power bought at a req sonabe rate from a central station. Of the COP millers using electricity to grind or elevate grain and feed, $50 have adopted the bought power sys- tenn, while 252 still generate their own power.

MIR. JOHNSON SAYS

"A neighbor of mine returned from New York last week, and he told me about some fellow trying to sell him the court house at a bargain. He didn't buy it, because he figured that this man didn't have the right to sell it.
 "The day after he got home, he met smooth-talking young fellow on the street who was giving away pair of spectacles and farm paper for just enough money to pay the postage on the paper which, he said, was $1.00. Of course, most everybody in town fell for this, although none of them had ever heard of this stranger be- fore.
 "If that fellow had tackled me, 1 would have told him to see the con- stable and get note from him saying that all those fancy credentials were genuine. The fact is, though, don't think would have given him my sub- scription anyway, because there are too many subscription solicitors who live in this county, and spend their money here, for me to give my money to an unknown stranger who doesn't spend anything here but his time"

ALIVE
Automobile Damaged in an Accident
This Side of the Ledge House

Another automobile accident in
which Skowhegan parties were con-
cerned occurred Tuesday about two
miles this side of the Ledge House
at Dead River. The driver of the
machine which was a Ford was Ed
ward Nedeau and with him was Ar
thur Gray. The car belonged to
Edward Tague of this town and the
two men had carried a party to the
Ledge House and were on their re
turn. AS they neared the top of the
hill they came upon team so sud
denly that Nedeau, who was driving
did not have time to turn out in the
proper manner, and the car went to
one side of the road and over a
slanting bank some ten or fifteen
feet. An axle, spring and wind
shield on the car was broken and
Gray sustained a cut on the head.
The report current on the streets
yesterday that Nedeau had been kill
ed was without foundation as the
young man was not hurt in the least.
