many had undergone experiences
worse than death.
Large as these figures are, they
represent only about one-half of the
actual number of those who actually
dropped out of sight at some time
during the year, in the opinion of
Captain John H. Ayers, Chief of the
Bureau of Missing Persons, New
{ York City.
People often fail to report disap-
pearing members of their family to
US because they mistakenly fear we
Will bring publicity upon them, when
that is the last thing we want to do"
said Captain Ayers in a statement to
the National Association. MANY also
drop out of sight who have no one
sufficiently inter ested to make a re-
port. In our best Judgment, we feel
it is fair to double our actual figures,
making "a total of 1892 women and
girls ins New York city, of whom
1904 were under 81 years of age. If
the same ratio of disappearance holds
good for the United States as ap-
plies to New York city, then we can
arrive by an arithmetical computa-
ton at the total for the United
States, which will approximate Co.
600 girls who probably disappear
annually OF course, it must be
understood that those are not per-
manent disappearance, as very
large percent are accounted for. Our
record for last year was $3.50 found"

The Best Cough Syrup
is Homemade.
Here's an easy way to save Sc, and
:. yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this we'll.
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of a
cough will soon earn it permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2h ounces
OF Pinex; then add plain granhlated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
# desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you full pint
OF better cough remedy than YOU
could buy ready-made for three times
its cost.
It is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conouers q
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm.
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
ana bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.
pound of genuine Norway pine ex.
tract, and has been used for genera.
lions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2% ounces of Pinexn
with directions, and don't accept any.
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

More Found Than
Forever Lost-U. S.
Lost Persons

New York, Dec. 8 "a. P.)-More
than 1000 girls and women were re-
ported missing during 1922 by police
headquarters in SO American cities
and approximately 900 of them had
not been located by December 31st,
These figures were gathered by the
National Association of Travellers
Aid Societies of this city in an eff
fort to estimate the number and
types of persons who drop out of
sight each year. Reports from 81
cities. the association said, gave a
total of 1888 men, women and chill
dren who disappeared. about $500 of
whom were not found.
Seeking for people who Gisappear
is part of Travellers Aid service
which protects inexperienced travel
ers from harm by giving advice and
help at railroad stations and steam
ship piers, according to John r.
Shillady, general director of the ma
tional association.
Travellers Aid workers in 100
cities helped more than 1000, 900 per-
sons last year." he said, Saving
thousands of girls from being Iured
off by designing individuals in
crowded stations. The service helps
all travellers, from mere information
seekers to those in dire emergency.
Police reports show that in New York
City 2.446 girls and women were re-
ported missing in 1922. 1852 of whom
were girls under 81 years Chicago
recorded 1,549; Los Angeles 1920:
Philadelphia 1905; ST. Louis had

Accidental Shooting
May Prove Fatal

A shooting accident which may
terminate in fatality occurred in
Monson Saturday night when John
ME Erickson, aged II, was acciden-
tally shot with a 44-caliber rifle
claimed to have been fired by a play
mate. Leo Holmstrom, aged IL, of
Monson. The bullet entered the
back of the Erickson boys head and
lodged near the BRAIN. He was rush
ed to the Louise. Chase hospital in
Guilford where his recovery is
thought to be. doubtful.
From what can be learned from
the boys who say thev saw the shoot
ing, it seems that the Holmstrom
and Erickson boys with three other
lads were playing on the top Of a
load of hay, and that in some I'M
known manner the rife, which was
supposed to have been empty, was
discharged. 1t is understood that
the >Holmstrom boy claims that he
was not the one who had the gun at
the time of its discharge, but the
other boys in the party are all sure
that he did have it.
Sheriff Roscoe Macomber was noti-
fed of the accident but as yet has
taken no action, owing to the fact
that the shooting was an accident
and that the parties are minors. 1t
Is expected, however, that should the
accident terminate in death, some
action will be taken.
To Play Bangor Basketball Team
The Dover-FoXcroft basketball fans
will have chance Thursday evening
to see the home team perform against
the strong aggregation from Bangor,
which are known as the Five Aces.
The Bangor team has fast bunch
of players and will make the home
team step some to keep up with them,
but with White back in the lineup
! the local boys are not worrying g
great deal over the outcome.
The many fans who have not seen
the A. A. five in action this year will
be much pleased to witness the high
standard of basketball that the team
is playing this year. Rough stuff
has been entirely cut out and in it's
place is fast, clean basketball.

Gleanings, from
Political Discussions

With only nine or ten months left
before the county election, candidates
for the county Offices are commence
ing to be mentioned. Scarcely a
gathering Of men assemble for any
purpose with local politics being
discussed.
Perhaps the main office which in
terests the most people in the county
is that Of sheriff. 1t is understood
that Deputy John Weymouth will be
in line for this Office and is already
working among his friends for sup
port. Although John Wiles of Dover
Foxcroft. who was deputy for many
years, has not announced himself to
, the public, 1t Is expected that he may
enter the fight at any time. Roscoe
Macomber, the present sheriff, says
at the present time that he would
not consider reelection, but many
feel that by strong urging he would
cast his hat into the ring. Sheriff
Macomber has made q very efficient
enforcement during his past reign,
and has large following among the
law abiding citizens. The other can
didates mentioned for the Office are
David Cowan of Monson, Thomas
Foulks of Brownville and Amos De-
lano Of Guilford.
Many of the Republican voters are
urging Jerome B. Clark, ESQ.,, of Milo,
to run for county attorney, but he
,, has as yet given them no definite
answer. 1t is expected that County
Attorney Hiram Gerrish, who de-
feated Clark at the last election, will
again oppose him as the Democratic
candidate.
Many of the local young people
braved the mud and ruts Saturday
night and attended the dance in
North Dexter.
Miss Vivian Hamlin passed the
weekend with her parents in Lake
view.
Miss Beulah Lord of Monson was
a caller in town Sunday.
Charles c. Palmer of Dexter was a
caller in town Monday
