Barns Partially Destroyed Mt Smith,
fieid-Palmer Buildings Damaged
$1,000

Somerset County was more or less
hit by the severe thunder storm of
last Sunday, the barn on the Charles
A. Marston place, now owned by Frank
T. Palmer was damaged to the extent
of about $1,000 the lightning striking
the cupola and setting fire to the
same. The chemical responded to a
telephone call and did very effective
work In confining the conflagration to
that part of the building. Some straw
was burned 1t was not discovered
until the following day that the light
ming had followed the roof and it final
ly made its exit down into the house
by means of pipes and into the base
ment underneath. The property was in
sured. Trees were badly broken, one
completely crossing Middle street. AT
Smithfield the roofs of the barns of
Will Ellis and Harvey Richardson
were partially destroyed and much
damage was done to the trees. A heavy
shower passed over Mercer Sunday af-
ternoon accompanied by high winds
that blew down trees and did some
damage to buildings. Heavy doors
were blown out and carried twenty
five feet. No serious damage report
ed however. At Oak Hill in Norridge-
wock flag pole was blown down and
the large top from an apple tree at
w. C. Fletchers.

Frank T.. HaycOck

Memorial services were conducted

for three years as an expert river
driver for the Kennebec Log Driving
Company. He also was employed by
the same firm for two years as a log
watcher one year in Skowhegan and
one year in Waterville. Mr. Haycock
conducted a bowling business on Wa
ter street for about three months and
on account of poor health he was
obliged to give up this work and went
to Savannah, MISSOURI for treatment
He was there two months and when
returning home took cold that devel-
oped into influenza which was pre-
vailing in his family upon his arrival
here.
This illness made the cancerous in
fection grow worse. DR.. Bigelow was
summoned who treated the cancer and

ingly improved MIR. Haycocks illness,
and prolonged his life at least year

FOUR Of SIX RAILROAD
CROSSINGS ELIMINATED
of State Highway Commission
Here on Business

Chief Engineer Sargent and Col.
William Aver, chairman of the State
Highway Commission were in Skowhe-
gan Monday for the purpose of settling
right of way damages with property
holders of the new state road which
is to be built from the village to the
Fairfield town line. Engineers Dag
gett, Campbell and Young have al
ready begun to stake out the proposed
road. Four of the railroad crossings
will be eliminated in the building of
the new road including the first two
from Skowhegan and the two at the
five mile tank. This leaves only two
crossings, one at Webb Hill and the
other just this side of Hinckley. The
camps are being built on the Warren
place and will probably be open the
last of the week. Men are at present
also engaged in attending to the pre-
liminary details and getting the crush
er set in place. The new road will
probably be shortened some 300 or 400
feet and it will be much straighter
than the present thoroughfare. The
new grading calls for all grades to be
less than six per cent, 1t is understood,
which is quite a reduction on some
of the hills.

FORD PRODUCING 1900 CARS A
DAY
Present Production Greater Than for
Same Period Last Year

Ford is building cars at full speed
And, according to an official state
ment from the factory at Detroit, the
demand for Ford cars and trucks sull
exceeds the output, despite the tact
that new high level of production
has been reached.
BY the first of May the figures repre-
senting daily production were in the
neighborhood of 1000 a day, so the
May schedule was set at 10l, ,125 cars
and trucks. not including the output
of the Ford Canadian plant or any OF
the foreign assembling plants. The
output mounted daily; May 18th brot
forth 4092, the greatest number that
have been produced in one day so
far this year Since the month has
25 working days. present indications
point to a new high record.
A comparison of Ford production
figures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the
fact that for April, 1921, the output
was greater by 34514 than for the
corresponding month of a year ago.
The output for May, 1921, will prob
ably overshadow May. 1920. by be-
tween fifteen and twenty thousand
ears and trucks.
Approximately $4,000 men are at
work in Detroit plants of the Ford
Motor Company. The factory is op-

notified and Sheriff John A. Mooers
with County Attorney James H..
Ihorne and Deputies Tuscan of Solon

investigation. The result was that
evidence was secured discriminating

BUNDLE DAY IN SK0W.
HEGAM ON JUNE |
Various Stations Named. Near East
Relief Assistance Greatly Needed

An appeal has been issued by John
T. Deering of Saco the state chairman
for the Near East Relief for Maine
in Turkey and the Caucasus which are
still ravaged by war. Willard H. Cum
mings. chairman of the SkOwhegan
chapter of the Red Cross and a mem
Der of the state committee of Near
East Relief has received request
from Near East officials for help in or
ganizing the institutions of Skowhe-
gan to put on Near East Bundle Day
on June l. Skowhegan has hitherto
rather Jagged behind in its response
in Near East Relief although we be-
lieve the town has the name of the
right kind of public spirit and good
work.
The kind of clothing needed in
cludes: coats, dresses, sweaters.
blankets. petticoats, overcoats. wool
shirts, heavy hose, heavy wrappers
woolen gloves. mittens, boots and
shoes, felt slippers, shopworn gar
ments, chldren's clothes Of every sort
sheets for bandages.
New cloth by the piece and new
garments are greatly desired. Sewing
by women's societies or other organi-
cations in Maine is not encouraged
as it is much better to send the cloth
to the Near East to be made into
garments. thus giving employment tc
otherwise unemployed refugees.
Chairman Cummings has designated
as bundle stations the homes of the
four reident clergymen, Rev. George
Merriam, at the Bethany, Baptist par
sonage on Madison avenue, Rev. ]. l.
A. Renaud at the Catholic Rectory on
Water street, Rev. Herbert l.. Nichols
at the Methodist parsonge on Island

low at the Congregational parsonage on
Leavitt street. The Independent Re-
porter office, The Skowhegan Savings
Bank, The Skowhegan Trust Company
