Adequate Heating and Ven
tiLation is Home Comfort

A Holland Warm-Diffused Air Heat
ing System will efficiently and sufficiently
heat and ventilate your home at a less
cost than any other means you can en-
ploy. That's a tremendous statement
heavily-freightedw with significance oryou.
We suggest that you read it over again.
The simple secret of proper heating
is circulating, properIy-mOistened,
warmed air.
The principle of the Holland System
is to draw the air from the bottom Of
the room to the heating unit in the base
ment, where it is heated and renewed
and properly moistened by passing over
a water chamber. This air is then re-
turned to the opposite side of the room
in which it is needed.
Air in motion is like water in run
ming stream, it does not become stagnant
and impure.
The Holland System is immaculate as
to cleanliness-no SCOT, or gas, or smoke,
or odor. We guarantee positive heating
satisfaction because each Holland System
is installed by our own experts accord
ing to factory methods.

ed and driven by Anileare Calsolarl,
proprietor Of the Augusta Fruit Co.,
in which were also Mr.. Calsolari's two
sons Fred and Peter. collided Wednes-
day evening at the junction Of Win
throp and Sewall streets with i'll re-
suits on the machines but no serious
effects on the drivers or passengers.
The accident occurred at about $40
O'Clock. The Ford was going up Sew
all street and the Buick was ascending
Winthrop street. Mr.. Calsolari stopped
or nearly stopped the truck in an en-
deavor to avoid the smash, but the left
mud guard of the Buick struck the
right fore wheel of the Ford and whirl-
ed the car around so that it was fac
ing directly up Winthrop street. The
Buick went into a ditch, sustaining,
in addition to bad denting of the
mud guard, a thorough smashing OF
the right rear wheel. The worst IN
jury to the Ford which a hasty exam
ination revealed was twisting Of the
front axle.

division officer Of Portland. who was
assisted by Adjutant Robert Klepzig OF

FOR FOURTH Time
THIS YEAR RIVER
GOES on RAMPAGE
Following M 0 n d a US
Cloudburst in North
ern Maine Kennebec
Reaches Freshet Pitch
Wednesday Morning
But Little Damage
Done w. a t e r Now
Receding

For the fourth time since the ad-
vent of the year 1917 the water in the
kennebec was on Wednesday at
freshet pitch. with a rise of three and
one-half feet on the Augusta dam and
ming like a mill-race. The water in
the lower river was we'll up on the
wharves yesterday morning but did
not flow over the cap tinbers and
during the afternoon began to recede.
The rise of water was one of the
quickest on record SO far as the Ken
nebec is concerned and was due to the
cloudburst of Monday night in New
Brunswick and northern Maine.
A Slight rise in the water above the
dam was noticed shortly before noon
time Tuesday by the river men who
were working in that vicinity, but at
that time the water was running clean
and but with little indication of what
was behind it, but before o'clock in
the afternoon it was coming along in
good shape and fast assuming the pro-
portions Of a torrent. The water rose
rapidly on the dam and such was the
force of the current that about half of
the fiashboards on the dam were soon
carried away.
The rise of water continued during
Tuesday night and until yesterday
morning had reached the height men
toned above, where it held until after
the noon hour, when it began to fall.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon it had
dropped about eight inches. Last
night the water was still receding and
should soon be once down to summer
level. The freshet did little or no
damage along this part Of the river.
The Augusta Lumber Co.'S sheer boom
along the east side of the river above
the Kennebec bridge was carried
ed yesterday no logs in any con-
siderable numbers went astray.
