- YER been In Purgatory?
Many persons have declared

~ tEh Deen IN furgatOryS
- Many persons have declared
their expectation of going there
eventually. but there are thou
sands who have already made the trip,
have enjoyed the experience and have
come away wondering why more peo-
pie do not go there.
The Purgatory in question is located
in the town of Sutton, Mass, and those
who have visited the spot are con-
vinced that the commonwealth has
missed an opportunity to become fa-
nous for having within it's confines one
OF the strangest and most interesting
freaks Of nature In the world.
Purgatory, in Sutton, is chasm.
It's admirers declare that it is more
attractive and remarkable even than
the Flume in the White mountains, and
they are back Of movement to have
the commonwealth acquire the prop
erty and make reservation out Of it
for the benefit Of the whole people.
Purgatory chasm has for years been
source of wonder to geologists, for
they cannot agree as to what caused
1t. A large number of them seem to
think that at some time, cons ago. a
portion of the earth at this point
dropped down out of sight, leaving n
great chasm whose base is filled with
giant powders and deep caves.
Until a few years ago this chasm,
situated in the midst Of forest Of
pine. hemlock and spruce, was a
favorite outing spot for people in
Worcester and surrounding towns, but
as the roads to 1t were not kept in
good condition the visitors decreased
until now it has practically been for
gotten except by few enthusiasts.
Explored by Commission.
Led by Arthur e. Seagrave Of Ux-
bridge, who Is assistant attorney gen.
eral of the commonwealth, they have
been endeavoring for several years to
have the legislature take an interest in
the matter Of preserving the natural
wonder. and finally succeeded this
year in securing an appropriation Of
500 to be used for an investigation of
the matter by the state forestry COM
mission. This commission, which is
composed of the state forester, Frank
w. Rane, Harold Parker and Harvey
N. Shepard, with Charles o. Bailey as
secretary. has completed its investiga-
ton. Not one of them had ever seen
Purgatory chasm before.
Il was amazed" said Mr.. Bailey

Mentzel's Bakery

The bakery of J. A. Mentze
on Main street has undergone a
complete change and it is now
one of the handsomest bakeries
to be found anywhere. The
salesroom has been finished in
enamel and panels Of plate glass
mirrors have been placed in the
walls. The baking room has
been greatly enlarged and new
machinery added to meet the
growing demand Of the business.
Ample store room has been
provided and a wrapping room
set aside just back of the sales
room. The changes add very
much to the appearance of the
place and facilities for handling
the business are much improved.
Mr.. Mentzel places an adver-
tisement in this issue calling at
tention to the fact that eventually
he will only make a ten cent loaf.
This does not mean that the five
cent loaf will be sold for ten
cents, but that the five cent loaf
will be discarded and more bread
and better bread will be sold
through the ten cent loaf.
