Skowhegan Business Concerns Change
Hands

Frank Drouin, of the firm Of Doyon
& Drouin. local bakery men, has sold
his interests in the business to his
partner, Joseph Doyon. Mr. Drouin
has gone to Canada for the present.
Mr.. Doyon came here from Augusta
several months ago, and he with Mr..
Drouin, bought the old Butler bakery
and have since carried it on very sue
cessfully Now Mr.. Doyon will
carry on the enterprise alone. He
has secured the services of Christie
pher Foster, who will have charge of
the delivery team.
1t was announced this week by
John d. Symons, owner of the City
Bakery that he will give up this his
torical enterprise as the building in
the future will be occupied by Guss
and Roy b. Pooler who will maintain
a shoe business there under the name
of Pooler & Co. The Poolers state
that they plan to be in occupation of
the building by the first of March and
will keep an up-to-date shoe store
with complete stock They will con-
tnue their shoe repairing business
which they will remove from its pres
ent site on Water street where they
have been located for five years to
the Symons Block. Mr.. Symons
while he will discontinue his bakery
business will continue his sporting
GOODS store in the same block.

Family Secrets to be Laid
Bare

Census Enumerators for the Four
teenth Decennial Census of the United
States will give attention to their
duties tomorrow in Skowhegan and
other Somerset County towns. weather
permitting. The enumeration of the
population during a census of the
United States always presents numer-
GUS difficulties, among them the ap-
prehension on the part of the people,
particularly those of foreign birth or
extraction, that their answers to the
enumerators' questions will cause in
creased taxation. legal entanglements'
or other consequences injurious to
their welfare. In order to quiet
such unfounded fears and at the same
time acquant all persons with the
main questions included in the census
schedules this statement has been pre-
pared.
1t is. therefore, earnestly hoped
that Clergymen. Editors, School
Teachers, Employers. Agricultural
Agents, and other philosophical citi-
Zens who come in contact with large
numbers of people will grasp every
opportunity to correct any erroneous
opinions about the census which they
may hear. 1t is no less earnestly
hoped that all philosophical citizens
will aid the Government in the gigan-
tic task of taking the 1920 census by
making frequent use of the informa-
ton set forth in this leaflet 10 i'm
press people with the great import
ance of the coming census and to urge
them to prepare for the coming oil
the census enumeratOr so that cor
rect and complete answers may be
given.
There has been a very material in.
crease in the business operations To-
cally since the time of the last census
canvass in 1910 and a good growth
in the population of the town of Show
hegan The quotations in 1910 for
Skowhegan were 5341 and the present
population is reckoned at approx.
mately at $500 persons. The build
ing activities now underway are ac'
credited as having increased our nor
NAL population by about 500. When
the census men CALL give them the
glad hand and tell them all they wan
to know for now and prosperity.

They have to their credit 80 first pre-

TIRES
PROVE ECONOMICAL
Saving of 40 Per Cent on Case
line and 20 Per Cent on Re.
pairs Is Reported.

while actual figures of economies
obtained by trucks equipped with pneu-
matte tires as against those with solid
tires must vary with load and road con-
ditions, those who have been studying
this particular phase of truck trans
portation make some very definite
claims" says H. A. Citizens. general
sales manager IF the Federal Rubber
company of Cudahy, Wis, which is bring
ing out new line of truck pneumatics
built especially for truck service.
''Some of the results claimed for
pneumatic tired trucks include a 40 per
cent gasoline saving. saving of % per
cent in the use of lubricating oils. a
saving of 10 per cent on repairs because
the pneumatics take up and absorb the
road shocks the trucks formerly receiv-
ed, and a saving in depreciation of 30
per cent.
"In other words. pneumatics materi-
ally increases the life of the truck and
by saving the truck and its machinery
from road shocks, reduce to the mini
mum operating and repair bills.
1T has been proven now that pneu-
mates afford traction that enables the
truck to negotiate mud. sand and snow
impossible to solid tired trucks. Pneu-
matics make possible higher truck
