Fire Interrupts
Clam Bake at the
Hartford Station

The members of the Fircmen's Re
lief Association held = meeting and
clam bake Monday night at the Fire
Station, which was well attended.
Despite the fact that while the clans
were merrily cooking. the men were
called out for the Hume NeWhall fire
and when they returned the clans
had boiled over onto the floor and
generally "made a mess Of it," the
occasion was most enjoyable. On the
menu were clans, coffee and dough-
nuts and all assaulted the enemy in
great shape.
After the banquet little meeting
was held at which it was voted to
have u dance one week from next
Thursday night, to which all firemen
and their invited friends might come.
Arrangements for music will be made
later.
Tho boys were laughing last even
ing at one of their number, who
leaving the clans, rushed to catch
the hook and ladder to the fire, and
who after getting half way up Water
street on the apparatus, suddenly
remembered that he had his auto
outside of the fire station and that
an auto was much faster than a
! horse.

ROtarians Here Talk
On Tanning Process

At the regular Monday noon
luncheon of the Rotary Club at the
Elmwood hotel yesterday noon Frank
l.. Hesse was the principal speaker. He
spoke at considerable length on the
topic of tanning and his talk proved
very interesting. Mr.. Besse took the
process of tanning sheepsllins from
the very earliest ages when men wore
the skin OF these animals for their
clothes and developed his subject down
to the complicated process through
which the skins go today. Among other
figures which he quoted was that only
about 10000 skins are produced in
this country every week and it takes
many times this amount to have s
ply sufficient to meet the neeCs of the
leather goods manufacturers of the
day. so that great percentage of the
skins are imported.
Mayor Leon o. Tebbetts spoke
briefly on Rotary Principles" as is
done weekly. it being the work of the
educational committee to give such
speeches.

Why 60 west for the wild AMI

in the back yards Of Augusta, bull
moose roaming the streets and the ia
nous ''gump" having its habitat near
the city, there is wild life enough here
to suit the most ardent naturalist.
Ask two parties of motorists what
they think about il One party of Au-
gusta people living on the East Side,
in fine new touring car were sailing
blithely along the Brunswick State
highway near Richmond Corner Sun
day evening when they collided with a
big buck deer with splendid spread
of antlers. The front of the machine
was badly damaged and it was thrown
to the side of the road by the impact.
The deer made a quick getaway, leav-
ing traces of hair and tracks in the
highway. None of the party was in
jured but they have a wholesome re-
spect for the solidity of Maine deer
as a citizen of our forests.
