AWARDED AS PRIZES
University OF Maine Presents Opp0r-
tunitieS TO Young Somerset Farm
erS

r. NJ Stiles, county agent, in charge
of the Boys and Girls clubs of Somer-
set, says that owing to the excellent
work done by the boys and girls and
of the entertainment afforded them
during the Convention at Skowhegan
the latter part of October there has
developed a wide spread interest in
the doings of these young but am
bilious farmers.
Several of the clubs are already
making their organizations more solid
and are adopting a form of degree
work, holding meetings once each
month. Those who won first prizes
during the recent convention are elig-
ible to compete at the State contest
to be held at Orono on December 10,
20 and q. At this time the boys and
girls from all parts Of Maine will ex-
hibit the results of their efforts and
prizes are to be awarded in the form
of scholarships to the University of
MdlllG' L he nISl plL u IL lOt P1VVI
End, SIS and two third prizes of $50
each
Many are eligible to attend as rep
rescntatives of Somerset County, this
being made possible by the excellence
of exhibits made at the time the young
folks got together in Skowhegan.
Those from this section who will be
allowed to compete for the scholar
ships are: Sweet corn club, Kenneth
p. Dickinson, Norridgewock; Potato
club, Ercell Gordon, Norridgewock; ;
Garden club, Kleba L. Willis, Har-
mony; Pig club. Gene |, BuzZell, Har-
mony; Poultry club, Hubert M. Hub
bard, Palmyra; Canning club, Anna l..
Wood, Fairfield Center.
1t is interesting to note that of the
ten clubs formed in Somerset County
last spring, each sent one or more
representatives to the County contest.

JOHN GOODWIN Of HALLOWELL WANTS To
OPERATE PICTURES IN SKOWHEGAN
Matter of License will be Taken Up at Special
Town Meeting if Petition is Successful

not to grant another license on the
grounds that the proposed theatre was
not sanitary that Michael ST Ledger
still held a license at the Bijou and
that above all the town had voted to
allow but one theatre.
Following the hearing, Mr. Goodwin,
much dissatisfied, got busy with his
petition. During the past week DR..
A. b. Borden, who it is understood is
interested in other way than being the
lessee. together with others, has gone
among the voters employed in the
shoe factories, textile mills and to the
business men of the town with a pc
tition calling for a special town meet
ing at which time o vote should be
taken to rescind the former action
whereby the town voted to issue but
one theatre license. and allow more
than one 1t is understood that the
petition has been widely circulated
and contains many signatures.
Now all that remains is that spicy
town meeting. And it will be spicy
The matter has become something of
an issue and there promises to be
something doing, il the meeting is
called, from the rise to the fall of the
curtain.

KENNETH Gates DROWN
Ed IN MILL POND
Little Fellow Was Playing on Thin Ice
Which Broke Beneath His Weight

Kenneth Gates, five year old son Of
Mrs Helen Gates of Boston, Mass,
was accidentally drowned in the mill
pond near the home of his grandpa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah Smith in
Mercer.
The little fellow, who had been stay
ing with his relatives during the sum
mer and fall. was missed at the din
ner table ON the day of his death and
a search was started. School child
ren noted tracks on the thin ice in the
pond and later found sled partly
submerged in the water. Further
search resulted in finding the dead
body of the unfortunate boy. 1t seems
that he had jumped on his sled had
coasted down slight incline onto the
inviting service of the pond. His
weight was too great and both he and
his sled went thru the ice
The body was taken to Boston for
interment accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. Smith.
Master Kenneth was a very likeable
little chap and had made many friends
among the young people of Mercer.
The first snow and ice brought him
out with his sled and he failed to
realize the treachery of thin ice. His
father Harold Gates, lately located in
Colorado, also survives.

little schoolhouse, wooden bridge
with 26 feet stringers and concrete
piers were built at a cost of $500,
The town united with Canaan in
building a 5S foot wooden bridge in
the Richardson district, Skowhegan
paying about $500. One-half of the
South Channel bridge, which spans
the Kennebec, was planked. New
timhers were put into the bridge
across Wesserunsett stream; repairs
were made on the bridge at Skunks
Hollow, so-ealled and a number of
smaller jobs were done on various
bridges About 90 new culverts were
put in of which ten were of steel.
Moneys expended on sewers will
easily come within the appropriation,
tho the bills are not yet all in The
town raised, by loan, the sum of $500
for the North street sewer outlet to
the Eddy; $1,000 of which is to be
paid each year. A sewer was put in
on Chandler street, from Steward
avenue to Madison avenue, about 800
feet in length at an expense of $400.
Three catch basins have been put in
and connected with the sewerage sys-
TEN; one at the big gully, opposite
the east end of Jewett street; one on
North street, near the top of the hill
and one at the corner of East Front
and Main streets, near the watering
tub
The sum of $S50.S4 has been spent
for sidewalks, tho there remains a
credit of about 500 for tar not used,
which brings to amount down to about
$3.50 Court street sidewalk has
been re-topped with concrete, from
High street to Leavitt street; Leavitt
street has been re-topped from Court
to Madison avenue with concrete;
East Leavitt street from Court to
Bush has been treated in the same
manner; also Court street, from Law
ton to Winter Gravel walks have
been built on Chandler street from
Lessons to Steward avenue and on
Milburn street from Oak street to a
point opposite the residence of George
*. Thomson.
1t will be noted from the above that
considerable work has been done by
the road department during the past
summer. 1t will also be agreed that
there still remains much to be done
but from things completed during the
past summer it is evident that before
long the town of Skowhegan will be
possessed of streets of which she may
we'll be proud.
