DEFEATED HER BOSS.
Mrs. Royal Now Register of Deeds of
Waldo County.


Mrs. Louise Royal of Belfast
formerly of Ellsworth, the only
woman in Waldo county to run for
Office in the fall election, and who
defeated her boss for the Office Of
register of deeds, assumed office
Monday.
Mrs. Royal is a republican, and
she is well qualified for the position
she sought, having spent some
eighteen years in the registries of
Hancock and Waldo counties, and
she knows the work from A to 2.
She is quiet little woman, always
attentive to business, cares little for
social life, and the last person in the
world one would take for a poll
tician. In fact, she is not one, and
her campaign was waged as quietly
as she has lived. She looked the
voters straight in the eyes and told
them that she was qualified for the
office, that she had given many years
to the work as a subordinate, that
she wanted it, and she got it, just by
quiet, concentrated endeavor.
Mrs. Royal is a widow, with one
son, an ex-service man, now living in
New Hampshire, who is very proud
of his capable mother. Her many
friends wish her great success in her
first term of Office.

And be much more worth the living
May your Christmas be bounded on the
North
BY little flakes of snow;
And then be bounded on the South
BY all the joys you know,
While days you've counted as your
best
Make up it's boundary on the West,
And from the East toward where you
are,
Shine down each twinkly Christmas
star.
There's a time for everything, the
wise old prophets say:
A time to laugh, time to weep,
time to work and play;
But just as sure as preaching. there's
time for gladness, too.

farmer raised large focks of turkeys
and geese, but now they are seldom

This carries me back years and

GET AWAY FROM MUD SPLASH
When Machines Are Close Together
Dirt Is Not Likely to Strike
as High as Door.

When trying to avoid getting
splashed with mud most drivers will
get as far away from passing car
as possible. This is just the reverse
of what one ought to do to ayoid
such nuisance. When the cars are
ten feet or so apart any mud that Is
splashed is sure to strike the body Of
the other car, whereas If the machines
are closer together, say three feet
apart, mud that is splashed will only
strike the wheels and the under sides
of the tenders. What mud would or
dinarily splash on the doors Is much
more likely to be caught under the
running board when the cars pass
closer together.

LOAD OF BIRD SHOT
IS HELP TO BARBER
Injury to Brooklyn 0utfielders
Forehead Greatly Improves

Although 1t sounds paradoxical, a
load of bird shot pumped into the
body of Turner Barber. the outfielder
obtained by Brooklyn from Chicago in
a trade, made the former much bet

From the character of the injury
sustained one would think that Bar

he insists that 1t worked just the OPP

bear out the assertion. He batted .3l4

CURED in the woodland in the vicinity
Of the players home at Milan, Tenn,
two years ago. Barber was picking
his way through some sage brushwood
to get within aiming distance of
pheasant. Just as he popped his head
up to discharge his musket, fellow
huntsman, taking him for deer, fred
his shotgun, and Barber fell back
bleeding profusely from four ugly
wounds
One piece of shot lodged in the fore
head, between the eyes, narrowly miss
ing the optic nerve which would have
caused total blindness. The other
three lodged in the left side of the
nose, the left hand near the thumb
and in the calf of the right leg.
Barber dug the piece Of shot out of
his leg with penknife and his fam
lily physician removed the piece from
his hand. 1t was found unnecessary
to extract the metal from the forehead
and nose and Barber is still carrying
them around with him. He says he
feared at first that the forehead wound
would bother his vision, but instead
1t seemed 10 steady the nerves and his
eyesight has improved. He claims
that he gets better view of the ball
and has hit harder than before the

Result Of Accidents.
The department of public safety Is
engaged in city-wide campaign to
induce motorists to give necessary
attention to brakes. This drive is a
result Of an epidemic of automobile
accidents which caused more than a
dozen deaths in one week. The brake
inspection squad Is operating in every
borough of Greater New York. officers

When a machine is seen to be using
brakes that have not been adjusted

Due to Bad Brakes.
Results of the recent investigation
In the Borough of Brooklyn show that
80 per cent of all auto accidents are
due to bad brakes. Several cities have
sent safety experts to ascertain the
methods employed in New York TO
curb this evil. At least a dozen other
municipalities have inaugurated brake
inspection campaigns which have re-
