Season 1928 Proves Good Ono for
Gamcsters
From all indications the present
season marks one of the best game
seasons for a great many years. The
extremely good fall weather has fill
red the woods with hunters, who
have used great precaution in the
lighting of camp fires and acciden-
tai shooting, but by the number of
automobiles that are coming
through the county every day from
the Moosehead region. these precau-
tons have not hindered the shoot
ing of game. and from all indica-
tions every hunter who has put in a
few days in the search of game has
had but little trouble in finding it.

 "The egort of the government to promote thrift and to educate the I masses in safe investment has been
 conducted quietly and painstakiagly year in and year out" MT. Ayres said "The results speak for themselves. Last years total sales of Treasury Savings Certificates throughout the United States amounted to $I4o,657,- GOO, ofswhich the First District or the New England states absorbed over 1 $7, 7,ooo, 900.
 Millions of dollars of hard earned

 been devoting to the subject of con sistent thrift and systematic savings by it's citizens.
 "The thousands of investors in Treasury Savings Certificates are all ready helping the government by recommending these securities to their friends, and it is the govern ment's earnest wish that every man, woman and child, to the fullest ex- tent of his or her ability, will actively participate in this great campaign for lasting prosperity. of the individual as well as the nation"

 The office of the director at 262 Federal building, Boston, is always ready to give advice or assistance, and the people of the First District are urged to apply to MT.

PLAN TO OBSERVE RAIL CENTENNIAL AT
 CHICAGO IN 1928

Railroading in the United States will reach it's one hundredth birthday in 1928, and plans for great national centennial celebration and exposition 1 at Chicago are now under way. Com mittees have been appointed to gath l CT data as to an appropriate date for the celebration and to determine the extent of the miniature worlds fair which is being considered in this connection
 Three organizations have already taken steps in this direction-Amer- ican Railway Engineering Association, the mechanical division of the Amer ican Railway Association, and the American Railway Development As sociation.
 American railroads will participate in 1925 in the English celebration of the opening of the first railway in the world, conducted by the Information al Railway Congress, but 1t Is the de sire of the American Railway Asso- ciation also to commemorate the American centennial, which comes in 1928
 The trackage of the American roads according to the Interstate Commerce Commission, is 376,oo2 miles, not including switches and ter minal lines According to these same figures, there are now in operation approximately 7o,ooo locomotives, D. 5oo,ooo freight cars, and o5,ooo pas senger cars.
 Although there were railways in the United States prior to 1928, they were not common carriers says the Chicago Association of Commerce, interested in the plans for commem oration "When Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, drove the first spike at E1licotts Mills, Md, for the first seven miles of railway, between Vinegar Hill and Baltimore, he helped to establish the Baltimore & Ohio, which began operating trains in 1850.
 "In 1928 Horatio. Allen went to England and contracted for four steam locomotives to be built by George Stephenson. America was the first steam locomotime to be seen in the western hemisphere. It was placed on blocks at New York in January, 1929, and was exhibited to an awe-struck public for three months
 But the .Stourbridge Lion was the first locomotive actually to run on metal rails. It was used by the Della ware & Hudson, which at that time was primarily a canal company.

STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO AC|D|Ty
Bisurated Magnesia a Safe. Ger.
tain, Speedy Relief for
Acid Stomach.

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion, gas, sournesE, stomach ache
and inability to retain food are in prob,
ably nine cases out of ten, simply evil
dence that excessive secretion of acid i:
taking place in the stomach, causing the
formation of gas and acid indigestion
Gas distendS the stomach and causes
that full, oppressive, burning feeling
sometimes known as heartburn, while
the acid irritates and inflames the deli
cate lining of the stomach. The trouble
lies, entirely in the excess development
or secretion of acid.
To stop or, prevent this souring of the
food contentsof the stomach and to neu-
tralize the acid, and make it bland and
harmless, a teaspoonful of Bisurated
Magnesia, a, good and effective corrector
of acid stomach, should be taken in a
quarter of glass of hot or cold water
after eating or whenever gas, sourness
or acidity is felt. This sweetens the
stomach and neutralizes the acidity in
Q few m ornents and is a perfectly harm
less and inexpensive remedy to use.
An antiacid, sM,h &Rs Bisurated Mag
nesia which can be obtained from any
druggist in either powder or tablet form
enables thee stomach to do it's work
properly without the aid of artificial
digestants. Magnesia comes in several
forms, so be certain to ask for and take
only Bisurated Magnesia, which is
especially prepared for the above pur-
pose.

lined up for the position, all ap-
parently with equal chances, be-
sides numerous dark horses
whose appointments are known to
be urged on the President. The
most prominent among the candi-
dates is Gus A. Schultz, a local at
torney, and an active participant in
Republican politics.
1t is understood that he is being
supported by Edward F. Colloday,
president of the Washington Board
of Trade and head of various Re-
publican organizations of the city.
He has also been endorsed by
judges of both Municipal and SUI
preme courts.
Should the President decide upon

Jesse Tull, Solicitor OF the Land
Office Department, and a member
of a number Of temperance organi-
cations throughout the country, has
strong possibility of appointment.
Backing him is the Anti-saloon
League of America and all the
organizations with which he is
affiliated.
Ralph Given, assistant United
ship has been offered on three diff
ferent occasions, is being urged by
prominent business men to accept
the position. Given has been dis
trict attorney in, Washington for
sixteen years, and it is believed by
his hackers that he would make a

The salary of only $4,000, how
