Road Information

The highway from Skowhegan to
Moo3chead is in fair average condi-
ton. Route recommended is by way
of North Avenue, Smith Pond, Athens,
Harmony, Cambridge, Abbot, Monson,
Shirley and Creenville. Set out from
Cambridge as though going to Park
man and Guilford but watch for road
to the left, about seven miles from
Cambridge with guide board marked
Abbot to Monsoon" The distance
from this turn to Abbot Lower Village
is about four miles and is pretty much
all rough, some of It very rough. If
you do not like that sort of prospect
you can go on to Parkman and Gull
ford and thence to Abbot Lower Viii
lagc. This latter route, however,
takes you around nine miles, whereas
the short cut recommended is only
four, and in the nine miles you will
get at least four miles of pretty rough
going.
From Abbot Lower Village the road
is very good through Abbot Upper
Village to Monsoon and Shirley and
thence to GreenVille.

BURGLARS AT HINCKLEY
Burglars broke into the store of
the Hinckley Farmers Union some
time during the night of May % and
gath, making their entrance by smash
ing a pane of glass in the door next
to the railroad track and prying the
lock. The safe was blown and con-
tents taken. Valuable record books
and papers belonging to the Union
were stolen, also Liberty bonds own
ed by the manager of the Union. W.
E. Palmer and family. The postmas-
ter. Melvin Palmer kept supplies of
the office in the safe, all of which
were taken, consisting of cash, stamps
and records. The morning of the 24th
the books we're found just outside
the store where they had been dis
carded, and Monday afternoon bush
ell basket which had been missed from
the store, was found near the bank
Of the river opposite Ryerson Hill
full of papers. checks, etc, which had
been left. While these things were
of no value to the thieves they were
gladly received by the owners. Sheriff
Mooers and deputy Croker are work
ing on the case and although auto
mobiles, arousing suspicion, were seen
the night of the theft, dogs heard
barking and other unusual happen
ings, there is no definite clue. The
muffled sound of the blowing of the
safe was heard, but no one realized
what it was, thinking it the report
of gun or thunder.

AUTOMOBILE CAMP
SITE NEEDED
Somerset County Should
Accommodate Tourists
The Pines Mt the Eddy on South Side
OF Kennebec an Appealing
Location

One Of Names leading newspapers
recently commented on the automobile
y site situation and brought forth
the surprising and deplorable fact
that only nine cities in the entire state
have demonstrated their hospitality
and progressive spirit by providing
proper camp sites for automobile
tourists" While the inn keeper will
hold himself aloof from any such idea
which naturally Injuries his own bust
ness, the topic is indeed a most in
teresting one from the standpoint of
the car owner who enjoys his vacation
in Names great out-of doors.
Here we are doing our utmost to
boost the unexcelled advantages the
state has to offer to please the vaca-
zionist and still in all Somerset
County not one camp site is to be
found in the guide issued for automo-
bile tourists. I Surely few counties
have more to offer in the line of God
given lakes, streams, mountains and
woods and these are just the things
our thousands of pleasure seekers
come here for every summer. And
| tons were Il not for the automobile ?
Did they spent their vacations and
money in Somerset County in any
such degree twenty-five years ago?
Every town around has camp site
yet to be developed. The sooner il
does become a reality, so much the
better for that town. Instead of only
nine in all Maine there should be al
| least that many, or that few, in this
one county. Some of the sites we
might suggest possibly are not avail
able but in such delightful scenery as
we are blessed with there are second
and third choices il the first should
prove beyond our reach.
| In Skowhegan the Pines at the Eddy
on the south side of the kennebeC
would make a most appealing loca-
ton, especially so to the out of state
traveller who has yet to slumber UNI
der the stately tree emblematic OF
Maine. Beautiful Sunset Hill in
Norridgewock would be a most at
tractiye temporary home for the tour
list if it could be had for such a pur-
pose. All along the Kennebec ideal

1t is necessary, of course, that these

these essentials would be to mistake
the real important features of such
camping ground.

the fact that about 5000 automobiles
