Retaining Wall

Work on the large retaining wall

There has been more or less danger

PUBLIC MARKETS
FOR WATERVILLE?

Waterville people who have been
reading from time to time in the news
papers regarding the successful es-
tablishment of public markets in other
cities and towns, are wondering why
such a market cannot be inaugurated
in Watervlle. A local man who was
in Auburn a short time ago on one
of the public market days, had an
opportunity to see and study the
workings of the market in that city.
He talked with many Of the farmers
and also with the consumers and
found that without exception they
were we'll pleased with the results OBJ
tanned. The farmers said they gave
them a fine opportunity to dispose of
their produce without the necessity or
spending time and money going from
house to house about the city They
were able to get better prices than II
sold at the stores and that the bus
mess is a cash business. Practically
every kind Of produce was on sale
that morning, the farmers coming in
in automobiles, market wagons and or
dinarv driving teams. The customers
were made up largely of the house
wives. many Of whom had driven to
the marketplace in automobiles, and
some Of whom bore the unmistakable
stamp Of wealth showing that the
market Is patronized by all classes.
They were carrying their purchases
away in all sorts OF ways, ranging
from the regulation market baskets to
high priced travelling bags. It has
been suggested that the place back OF
the Armory would be an ideal sttua-
ton in Waterville for such a marke..
It Is centrally located. there is plenty
Of room. It is already used as hitch
ing place under the control Of the
city. and it is almost certain that should
the city government establish a pub
lie market there, the same would be
a success. and be a step toward br.n~-
Ing the producer and consumer 10.
gether for the ADVANTAGE Of both.

war was to lengthen the day by adding
an hour in the morning and dropping an
hour in the afternoon.
"You will require refrigerating stores
for the preservation Of meats and other
foodstuffs. Six months from now you
will probably have between 100000 and
10000 men in France. Think of the re-
frigeration machines YOU must establish.
This war is the greatest business the
world ever knew and in our country we
are doing nothing else. Let me tell You
that YOU will have to furnish between
five and six pairs Of shoes year In the
easiest parts Of the lines at the front and
y pairs year AZ the hard parts for each
Of the eAn.ooo or S0oO00 men YOU will soon
have on the 'front.'

average life of rife is six weeks as one
instance. IN addition to those already cit
