Mr. and Mrs. Percy Kicker had the
surprise of their lives last Tuesday
evening on their 36th wedding ami
versary. They had been invited to
their sons to supper Mrs. Kicker,
thinking there would be no one there
but the family, did not change her
house dress. During tea it was re-
marked that a neighbOr had been in
vited in to play game of cards. They
soon made their appearance, and with
a little graphophone music the eve
ming was swiftly passing, when in
marched about 30 more friends with
out any ceremony whatever, and were
very anxious to congratulate the bride
and groom on this their anniversary
evening. The event can better be
imagined than described. Mrs. Kicker
quickly saw why she had visitor that
afternoon who was very laxative,
while other parties were planning the
affair over the telephone. Well, Mr..
and Mrs. Kicker made the best of 1t.
and during the evening Wander Nit
chelI, in his usual genial manner, pre-
sented them with some very pretty and
useful presents in memory OF the occa-
sion. They also brought treat OF
confectionery and apples. Card play

poets to be success at that particu-

items of expense that he simply must

must know what is the daily wear and
tear on his equipment. so az To know
what proportion of the earnings should
be set aside to replace the old with

should know what are the profits and
what the losses each week
And the | oCscwife who Is running a

should know few cf these facts about
her OWE business. You say YOU do
know these things Well, lets see,
DO you know about how much per

dinner? You have an idea Of your meat
bill. but do yoI: know how much n
costs every time you serve meat TO one

Have YOU any idea ~ Just how much

know just how much you are saving an

Do you know how much you spend on

FEDERAL INSPECTION
by Major Shuttleworth
of the Regular Army-About
40 Members of the Company
Are Present and Make Good
Showing at Drill-Absentees
Will Be Rounded Up" for
Punishment

The annual federal inspection of Co. NJ
was held in City hall Friday evening and
the largest number of members of this
company that has gathered at the arm
DRY since the return of the End Maine
from the border was present.
About 40 members appeared for the in
spectlon and it was reported that the ma
jority of those who stayed away left
town in a body for parts unknown early
in the evening, and the efforts of search
ing squads to find them were unavailing
A guard was mounted around the post
office for one of the missing members
who is employed there, but he did not ap-
pear and the guard detail was later re
moved
The chief inspecting officer was Major
Shuctleworth of Connecticut, an officer
of the regular army, assisted by Lieut..
Harrison, a regular army officer from
Fort Mckinley. Lieut.. Thomas Enright
and Lieut. Hanson also aided in the work
of inspection, and the company was put
through every known evolution during
the evening. the men going through their
various drills in a manner that showed
plainly they had not forgotten Their Dor
der training.
Major Shuttleworth stated that this in
spection was a very satisfactory one
and added that the property was found
in good condition. that some of it was
missing but would be replaced very soon
Capt. f. B. Perley said that this an
nual inspection is of great Importance to
the company, as the annual appropria-
ton. amounting to between $40 and $50
per man per year is based upon the at
tendance at this drill, and he added that
while he was very much pleased to note
that so many of the men were present
at the inspection. he intends to call n
summary court and give those who will
fully stayed away the limit" which
means that warrants will be issued for
the missing members, and that Capt. Per
lev will appoint himself the presiding Of
fcer of a summary court under the pro-
visions of Article So Section 131 of the
military law when he will have power
TO try all those who refused to appear
at the inspection.
Capt. Perley also stated that he hopes
the drills from now ON will be much bet
ter attended and that lot of recruits
are expected to come in

ored the election instead of appoint
ment of road commissioners, stating
that their people in general also fav-
ored it, thinking that a better outlay
of the money was obtained and ap-
pointments of inefficient men avoided
more than under the present system.
Rep. Murphy of Calais said he was
the sponsor of the bill for aiding to the
extent of $500 in the repair of the
international bridge across the St.
Croix at Calais. but that he would only
introduce Alderman Harold Fl. Murchie
of that city, who would explain the
needs of the measure.
Mr.. Murchie said that Calais would
raise another $500 for the purpose,
as the bill would be from $500 to
$4,000. 1t was in bad shape; the Ca
madam end already having practically
dropped into the river and the Ameri-
can end about to follow suit. 1t is a
main thoroughfare. all the traffic from
the New Brunswick side having to use
it. i
Calais alone has three bridges leading
out of the State and in justice to the
burden she is bearing he thought assist
ance was due from the State. The city
has tax rate Of % mills and the prop
erty is valued away above its market
worth. Total valuation about s., 500, 900;

an absolute necessity and must be done
this year 1t means the rebuilding OF an
old dry-stone abutment, replacing of
some ironwork that has gone 10 pieces
and relaying of the doorway.
Rep. Jordan said the bridge was an inn
portant part of the highway for his town
of Baileyville and he hoped that the bill
would be fevorably reported.
Rep. Packard of NeWburg favored the
resolves giving $500 toward the repair
of Long bridge in Plymouth, stating that
II was part of the road over a mud pond
of unknown depth and everything so far
done had been useless and the highway
commission said that piers must be built
and bridge laid. This would cost from
$1,000 to $4,000 and the town would build
the bridge if it got the assistance The
tax rate is 8 per cent
Rep. Cole of Etna said he was familiar
with the situation and it really was u
necessity.
Rep. Averll of prentiss favored the
resolve giving $1,000 for repairs on the
Danforth road in Prentiss, leading from
| Bangor to Houlton. The town would
raise $500. The road is in bad condition,
has heavy travel of heavy teams from
other places and the automobiles are
hurting it.
Mr.. Shepherd. who is familiar with the
road, said it was in exceedingly bad con-
dition and needed immediate attention.
The tax rate is "a mills
