BOWERS BEACH

The two oyster shucking houses
closed up last week for the season
and the owners have gone to their
homes in and near SeafOrd.
The business of shucking oysters
here is developoing every year, and
the prepared product is finding a
greater demand; so much so thac the
two houses with full force Of work
ela, could only partially fill at times
the orders coming to these plants
from a distance. This business is an
advantage and convenience to our To-
cal oystermen, and, also the bay Oys-
termen along the western shore, who
can find ready sac for their oysters
without having to transport them to
other markets.
The terrible condition of the roads
between this place and the boulevard
remains the same, and will as long
as we have such heavy rains and lit
tie sunshine to dry them on, so that
the cuts and holes can be filled and
packed while dry. At the present time
there is scarcely any travel over them.
We are living in hopes for a change
for the better.
The muskrat trappers are winding

boats and seines in readiness for

Anna Lucy Cakes

Anna Lucy Cakes, daughter OF
David and Mary Dodge Cakes, was
born in Waterville, January II, 1912
She was next to the oldest of family
of six children, all of whom have
passed on before.
Her family moved to johnson when
she was about ten years old, buying
the farm below the village which re-
manned the family home until 1896,
when it was sold to H. o. Stiles.
Her parents were influential in the
building of the Methodist Church
and loyal supporters of the same.
Miss Cakes united with this church at
an early age.
Her education was obtained in the
common schools and academy of
johnson and at the Normal School
after it was established. She taught
II years or more in Middlebury until
illness obliged her to give up the
work there. She taught at two differ
ent times in Johnson Normal, and her
former pupils from away coming to
town in later years were always glad
to call on her.
She was born teacher with a
genuine love for the work, but i'll
health often hampered her. She used
to say that nothing would please her
more than to know that she had so
years of teaching ahead of her.
Her last teaching was in Plymouth,
N. H., Normal, where dangerous i'll
ness terminated her work, so that she
was taken to a hospital in New York,
where she remained two years.
Really an invalid ever after her re-
turn home she was always cheerful,
that one forget what her suffering
must be.
With a rare determination and self
forgetfulness, she was found in her
place at church whenever possible and
was intensely loyal to it to the last.
She will be missed by large circle
of friends. The end came on March
8, but for her it was glorious be-
ginning.
The funeral was largely attended
from her late home Saturday, March
II, the Rev. W. T. Best, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Nor
risville, officiating. The bearers were
N. ]. Perry, H. w. Peck, E. H. Sher-
win and H. A. Barrows. Those from
out of town to attend the funeral
were two cousins, Mrs. Jessie Corey
of Manchester, N. H., and Earl
Thomas of Waterville, Merritt Lee
of Hyde Park, Orvis Jones of North
Hyde Park and Oscar Shattuck of
Belvidere.

PLENTY OF MONEY NOT
ENOUGH

There is no lack of money in this
country. We have an abundance
all we need-more than any other
country on earth.
But plenty of money is not enough.
We need to have that money in cir
culation, building up crippled indus
tries, creating new ones, and provid-
ing employment for the surplus brain
and hand power of the country.
That would create renewed pros
perity.
When Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
vania died a tidy sum in cash was
found in his safety deposit vault-a
little matter of only $4,000. 1t was
not in circulation, was not even earn
ing interest for the senator, was
simply buried out of sight and doing
nobody any good.
If we could open up the safety de-
post vault of the United States, and
the old stockings, and the tin cans,
and delve into the other secret hid
ing places, we would probably find
billions of dollars boarded up and
kept out Of circulation in Just that
way.
A billion dollars hidden away is of
no earthly use to any one as long as
it remains hidden. But bring that
money out and put it into circulation
and prosperity Immediately takes on
a new lease of life.
We have too much money in dark
places, and not enough in the light.
