A Watch Repairing Tip.
It's astonishing how many fine
watches are ruined each year by be-
ing placed in the hands of poor and
inexperienced workmen for repairs.
A slight oversight on their part often
causes an unnoticeable grinding and
chucking that will wear out the best
movement made in a short time. Why
run the chances? Leave your repair
ing in our hands, and you'll get all
that long experience and honesty can
give Stokes, the Jeweler, Milford.

THE Boy SCOUTS. Seventeen of the
Camden Boy Scouts, accompanied by their
Scout Leader Mr.. Taylor, were guests of
the Belfast Boy Scouts last Friday after
noon and night. The field day exercises
arranged by Scout Master Orrin j. Dickey,
were given up on account of the rain, to
the great regret of all concerned as this
was their first field day. Arrangements
were made for all Scouts to attend NOV
ing pictures at the Colonial Theater and
later they went to the Darby parlors for
ice cream. The Belfast boys took their
guests to their own houses for supper and
also to spend the night, as the shower in
the evening made travelling uncomfort-
able. All assembled in the North church
at 7.3O p. m. to meet Mrs. Kate B. Ellis
of Fairfield Center, who is sent out by
the State Board of Health in the interest
of the Boy Scout movement. The pro-
gram was opened by all singing America.
The pastor, Rev. Walter T. Hawthorne
made few remarks and offered prayer.
Remarks were also made by Scout Mas
tiers Taylor and Dickey. Then came the
illustrated lecture with Mr.. Harry M.
Prentiss operating the stereopticon ma
chine and Mrs. Ellis explaining the pic
lures, which were practically all of vital
interest to the boys with a few for their
amusement. She told what this great
movement really meant to the boys,
showed views of the coast and interior
of Maine, gave instruction in regard to
the teeth, feet, throat, etc., and made
many suggestions to the Scouts, as to
posture, and bearing. The afternoon and
evening was voted great success not
withstanding the inclement weather.
