How about CaIoric Pipeless
Warm. Furnace to heat your
home. A. D. Naylor & Co.

Last week Messrs. D. NJ. Dixon &
Co., advertised in these columns that
they would sell flour and sugar at
price much below the prevailing prices
at this time. As a result of the adver-
tisement the firm sold on Monday more
than sixteen hundred pounds of sugar
and on Tuesday they disposed of an
amount in excess of Mondays sales,
although sugar was selling in other
towns, notably Cumberland, at to 10
cents per pound. The sales of flour by
the local firm during the week were
also heavy.
Through the foresight of night oper-
ator John Murphy of the local Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph office ser.
ious wreck was averted last Thursday
night when he noticed partially
wrecked car on an eastbound freight
tram which had listed so heavily to one
side that it was impossible for "a train
on the opposite track to pass. Tele-

point and the damaged car sidetracked
where repairs were made the following
day and the car sent on to its desti-
nation.
Truant Officer Wiley ran on to
bunch of boys Tuesday who were play
ing hockey" and proceeded to escort

spective teachers. The officer landed

one who was fleet of foot and succeeded
in making his escape. He was rounded
up Yesterday morning, however, and
now regrets the fact that he got away.
1t has been suggested that hereafter
when boys are caught 'hookeying"
that their names be made public through
the columns of the town papers and the
matter is being given serious considera-
ton by the officials and publishers. A
word to the wise should be sufficient.

ed with him in an effort to proGare Goa
for New England are to be congratulated
on the success Of their efforts, As bust
ness men they have worked along bust
ness lines and are performing an inesti
mable service for the New England pub
lie. They have arranged for trains, load
ed with nothing but coal to be brought
without break or delay from the anthra'
cite mines to New England, and it is
estimated that the trips will take moi
more than a fifth of the time consumed
under the usual methods.
New England will have'to cooperate
whole heartedly with Mr.. Storrow and
his associates If the plan is to be sue
cessful Cars must be unloaded prompt
ly in order that they may be returned
for further direct service, and there must
be united effort all along the line. 1t
has been definitely established in New
York City by competent Investigators
that coal prices have been juggled by
spectators and coal sales agents and that
the people have been paying good deal
more than legitimate price there, here
and everywhere.

pirates out OF business should be cor
daily welcomed as is any movement

clans who judged the Indian babies said
that the youngsters. weighed consders-
bly, heavier than white babies of the
same age.
The result of the first baby show
smong the 0toe Indians was the perma-

CAB, the first Of the kind. These Indian
mothers meet every two weeks and listen
70 lectures on hygiene and baby care.

Fiction in the pane. When the window

and looked about and not seeing any
ether bird went back and stretched up
enough to see itself again, when it again
began to peck at its reflection. 1t comes
