THREE MONTHS ARE
ALL MIXED UP

That all signs fail in a dry
time is abundantlv verified at
the Fairbanks Museum these
days where, on the plant and
over table, are specimens of
all kinds of growing things,
both seasonable and otherwise.
The unusual display looks as if
the plants had lost their reck-
oning this summer.
This fact is also substan-
tiated by Harry Hibbard ef
Oklahoma, a former st. Johns
bury resident, who is spending
the summer at the st. Johns
bury House, who says that
on some of his recent hikes
about the country in this vici-
nifty he found in one place by
the roadside ripe strawberries,
raspberries and blueberries, all
within a stones throw of each
other.
Former Congressman Frank
Plumley of Mortified, who
happened to hear this incident
discussed, remarked: "We've
evidently mixed up June, July
and August this year. It's
an unusual season."

Freak Auto Signs

Automobile signs along the high.
ways are interesting and unique
Some of them are glaringly hum
orous and others even severely SER
ious.
On all approaches to the town
of Stowe appears this sign: "Go
slow or SETTLE" Strickland Gil
fillan, the famous fumorist, saw
them and observed to Morrisville
audience: at looks as if they
had done both"
We know of one village where
auto drivers are admonished that
"20 miles per hour is the speed
limit allowed" and the bubbles
and dashboard ribs" in the road
there are so prominent that if any
such speed was to be maintained
no passenger would be able to stay
on the back seat without hitching
and the driver would have to cling
to the wheel for dear life.
The St. Adams Messenger sites
western town where there is
this wayside admonition:
."Drive slow and see our city
Drive fast and see our jail"

B. &M. Will Close Two
Mountain Lines

Under the authorization of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the Boston & Maine railroad have
decided to abandon two of it's short
lines in the White Mountains hav-
ing a total mileage Of about IL
miles.
One branch line, which extends
from Cherry Mountain to Jeffer-
son,e3 IL miles, was built. in 1892
for the accommodation of summer
resort travel to and from numerous
cottages in the town of Jefferson
and ran trains from June 25 to
Sept. Is. The growth of auto
mobile, travel has caused a steady
diminution in the passenger traf-
fic, however, and in 1919 and 1920
the company reported that the av-
erage number of passengers per
train was three, with total freight
revenues in 1920 amounting to
$S8.40, and total passenger re-
venues 1919.
The other branch line extending
from Bethlehem Junction to Pro-
file House, in Grafton County, a
distance of nine miles, also had to
give way to the competition of au-
tomobiles, as the report shows that
the average number of passengers
per train during 1920 was two,
with revenues amounting to $1713
and operating expense S12,940,
causing a loss to the Boston &
Maine of $11,227.
With no prospects of increased
traffic in the near future the com
pany proposes to abandon both
lines permanently.
