The Fourth Bridge

There is an amusing story sNing
round the British grand feet: Just
tie kind of joke which Jack Tar
likes to give and take with his
friends 1t is quite seriously affirmed
that when an American squadron
consisting of the L. s. :. Delaware,
New York and Wyoming. with de
strnycrs and other craft came up the
Forth. the British flagship sisnalcd
to them You are TO anchor west CT
the Forth bridge But the Am1r;-
cans passed under the bridge AMI
sailed on. Shortly the British ad
miraI made another signal: 1--WE sig
nailed lust now that you were TO an
chor west of the Forth bridge; why
cont YOU stop" And the American
flagship Immediately signaled the re-
nlv. Well guess We have only
passed one bridge a yeti"

post season championship series
may be staged on or about Aug. 20.
This would give at least 10 week
days in which to play the best four
out Of seven games necessary to de-
eide The winner. All the National
League club owners are in favor Of
such a series, and as the American
League magnates are understood to
hold similar opinions it is said the
question of dates for the games is
the only ere to be settled
Should both leagues agree to be-
gin the series on Aug 20 1t Is prob
able that the regular pennant sea-
son will be terminated Saturday,
Aug. Il. and the rival combinations
given two days to prepare for the in
terleague class. Including the re-
suits of today's games. Chicago is
leading 10y 1-2 games over New
York in the National League and
Boston is l-2 games ahead Of Cleve-
land in the American League. Both
these leads would be promising
margin to work on should it be de-
cidcd to end the season on or about

AzIscoos DAM
BY Mrs. Sarah s. Bennett, Wilson's
Mills, in Norway Advertiser.

Aziscoos Falls has been the scene
OF many tragedy and many q youth
that was Somebody's Boy" has met
his death there.
When l was a child a woman. APP
parently demented. came in on the
East side of the lake, (Umbagog)
staying one night at Israel Linnells
and another at Lorenzo Lombard's
In the morning she went onto the
Falls, in spite Of all persuasions tc
the contrary. She did not come back
and the men Of the reighborhood
turned out to see what had become
Of her. 1t was in April and light
snow had fallen: they tracked her
on the ice to open water and there
the trail disappeared. No inquiry
was ever made for her and none
knew where she came from or who
sho was.
Parties Of Indians used to camp
there often because it was good fish
ing in the Falls. Here too. was the
scene Of the arrest Of David Rob
bins. robter and murderer. by Lewis
LOOMS Of Colebrook, who brought
him down in irons.
1t was counted lucky drive in the
spring when no lives were lost in
Aziscoos Falls. Between s. and 40
years ago, I do not recall the exact
date. the Berlin Mills Company built
dam at the head Of the Falls. after
which accidents were less frequent.
but even then each year had its toll
of lives Of one or more men.
TIE dam Of today was built below
the old dam, and it took the head
engineer, Walter Fl. Sawyer of the
firm Of Moulton & Sawyer. seven
wears to locate a suitable site for the
dam. Meanwhile the Union Water
power Company Of Lewiston were
buying up the flowage from all who
would sell and work was begun
September LIST, 1909 The nreparato-
ry work was clearing site, buildins
reads, cutting timber for saw-logs,
followed by the erection Of temper
ary buildings and saw mill; the
construction camps consisted OF ~
buildings erected by the company.
Perhaps II would be interesting to
know what each number represented

The man had a telephone number

TIME TO PLAN GARDEN.
Send for Seed Catalogues and Pre-
pare for Spring Campaign.

Good Housekeeping; February
is the best month for garden plan
ming. Before March is out we must
be up and doing, and he who has no
well-formulated plans will surely be
a laggard in the spring campaign.
Let us consider the need of the
situation.
The war garden that ful6lls its
mission should supply vegetable
food for the family during the
summer and a surplus to can, and
should produce many varieties for
storage over the winter. Heretofore
in making up our seed lists We have
probably allowed ourselves much
liberty OF choice.
1t is interesting and exciting to
experiment with japanese novelties
and to try the handsomely heralded
newest varieties of corn and beans;
but i'll our 1918 war gardens these
unproven allurements should find
small space. Far wiser is it to fol-
low the highway of certainty, leav-
ing the devious if fascinating path
OF experiment for less troubles
times.
As a shrewd farmer neighbor said
to me the other day, this amt no
time for lemon crops and it isn't.
We want fair results from every
seed, we want to grow enough veg
etables to supply the family for 4
whole year, we want to make each
square foot of ground attain the
maximum OF productiveness. To
these ends let us apply our wits.
In just a few words this should
be the gardeners program:
Send for seed catalogs today and
get in your order as soon as pos
sible Seeds are scarce this year.
Look over your tools and garden
accessories; repair what is out Of
order and buy what is missing.
Prune and spray your fruit trees
before this month is out. Lime
sulphur solution is a good winter
spray. If you have only one fruit
tree it is worth giving the best Of
care. Add a cold frame to your
belongings if you have not this val
liable adjunct already.
Grape vines should be cut back
this month to within few inches
of last years growth. Spray Jap
anese ounce bushes and ornament
al plums and cherries as we'll as
orchard fruits. If you house plants
are troubled with mites, spray with
kerosene emulsion, being careful to
reach the under sides of the leaves.
Daily spraying with water will gem
orally destroy red spider if applied
to the under surface of the leaves.
1t will also keep the plants in fine
condition. Tobacco water or dust
is the most destructive to aphides.
Give your house plants plenty
Of fresh air. When watering do it
thoroughly and do not repeat until
the plants require it.
