city are hoping he has device that may
be patented in the novel invention of
attaching runners to the forward wheels
of an auto The idea belongs to Mr.. Tit
comb and he modelled the wood work, but
called on Henry w. Staples, blacksmith,
for the iron attachments. His car is a
Studebaker and with this runner attach

snow and runs more smoothly. He has
been attracting the attention of all as he
has appeared on the streets the past few

Wis and others regarding steamboat SER
vice and subsidiary, and it was voted on
motion Of James H. Howes that COM
mittee interview the boat owners and
interested and see what they
are willing to do and invite those most
most interested to the next meeting. 1t
was also voted ON motion of James H
Howes to hold supper at sometime dur
ing the month similar to those held in the
county, and that the ladies be invited,
the date of the same to be announced.
President Howes appointed as a commit
tee Messrs. Norman A. Read and Ralph
A. Bramhall. Remarks were made by o.
E. Frost and others regarding the matter
of railroad freight rates and the discrim-
ination by the Maine Central and Bangor
& Aroostook against Maine people, plac-
ing them in unfair competition with sim
liar concerns in Massachusetts. Presi-
dent Howes appointed a committee of
Mes srs. c. w. Wescott and NJ L. Slugg
to see the Maine Central railroad and
learn if something could be done. Will
r. Howard, vice president, made inter-
esting and timely remarks. Principal
Harry A. Foster of the high school was
the speaker of the evening and his re-
marks should have been heard by every
man in the city. His remarks were bas-
ed on the lack, or the apparent lack, of
interest of the citizens in the schools,
particularly in the athletic sports in
which they could easily and materially
assist. The sports of the high school
should have moral and financial assist
ance. He also spoke of other conditions
that should be corrected. Mr. Foster,
VINO is also captain of Company X of this
city, stated that also should receive
greater support, bringing as it does many
thousand dollars into the city each year,
and that boys enlisted would make the
Armory their headquarters with an ex-
cellent club room and there would be
accounted for, where otherwise they
mi ight be drifting about the city. Since
the above was in type the date of the
Belfast banquet and dance was arranged
Feb. Gath with the ladies present. The
ladies of the Baptist church will cater
and McKeen's orchestra will furnish the
music.
