been completed, and those WHO have

bit Of State road as can be found in
Maine. The tarvia is as smooth as
a flor and gives promise of what the
whole rode will be. The work is
progressing rapidly and the motoring
public will also he pleased to know
that the bad curve at Browns corner
is being cut away, and the road will
run close to the schoolhouse, thus re-
ducing the danger to a minimum, in
fact it will make an easy corner, and
do away with the dangerous, almost

the magician and the lovely princess:
But, dear me. Wasn't she frightened
at seeing me.
"Have no fear" said the magician,

across the room, II can never forget
