supper at 61J o'clock. AS is the
custom. the male members of the
chamber will be accompanied by
their ladies and the women men,
bcrs may also bring their husbands
or friends. The supper will be
served by the American Legion AUX
Hilary and the supper committee
promises the committee of arrange
ments from the chamber that it will
be as good a supper as has ever been
served them. Only those who have
attended previous suppers can real
ize how good that will be.
After the banquet is over there
will be a good program. the main
feature of which will be a talk by
Hon. Frank c. Harrington of Au-
gusta The fact that Mr.. Earring
ton is q candidate for governor at
the primaries does not mean that
he will touch on politics in his adj
dress. 1t is expected that he will
talk on something connected with
public service.
Tickets for the supper are already
in the hands of some of the men,
bprs and every member of the
chamber is cordially invited 10 be
present. IF any member is not
called on by some member of the
committee he can obtain tickets at
the Chamber OF Commerce rooms.

chamber are advised to make early

pamphlets, in the thrift campaign.
During the next month of course
there are the holiday parcels. letters
and cards that make up the busiest
part of the year.
Although many people would think
that the first month of the year
would be naturally quiet, the post
master asserted that this was one of
the busiest and hardest parts of the
year to carry on the work in the Of
fee. First. he said, that nearly ev-
cry business house in the city was
sending out from enc. to several
hundred bills in the earlier days of
the month. Then all employees of
the Office are obliged to double up on
their work in order to give those who
worked over time during the Christ
mas rush. a chance to take the off
time due them. An explanation of
this is as follows: The Civil Service
Commission allows man to work
over time but does not pay him
money for that number of extra
hours of work Instead he is al
lowed to be "off the job" the same
length of time that he spent in
working over hours This time must
be given him within thirty days and
consequently the month of January
is the time when members of the
force are off duty somewhat. When
one or two men are absent from the
office the work has to be handled by
those left there and makes the first
of the year busy time for all.
Postmaster Brown has been busy
the last few days attending to the
Treasury Certificates that we're Is
sued five and six years ago by the
Gov rnment. He stated that people
had been very slow in cashing their
certificates, as thew had cashed atout
$500 worth during the latter part of
1923, that were due the holders u
months ago. Although this is a
benefit to the United States Govern
ment, having the money for use
without paving interest. but it is of
no benefit to the holder. because he
receives no income from tne money
irvcsted Since the first of JURY.
1923. the Postmaster estimated that
as much as $4,000 had been paid to
certificate holders. who might have
lad their money on Jan. I. 1928 BY
drawing this money out and placing
it in the banks it would have yield
ed interest amounting to over 5000.
There are still m"ny people who
have kept certificates that We're due
in 1922 but there are about one
sixth as many due this year as there
were q year ago.

Taken Regarding
Athletic Ruling

President Arthur J. Roberts Of
Colby college last evening at meet

be carried out for one semester or
for one year. The presentation of
the plan was not unexpected but the
association was unprepared tc dis
cuss the matter in detail and con-

future consideration.

Something New in a Snow. Sled


W. T. Reynold. Jr. of Bay street
has n snow sled that is the last word
in this style of conveyance. This
snow sled was made by taking an
ordinary Ford car and narrowing the
rear end so that the rear wheels are
about two feet apart. Then an extra
set of wheels was put on the outside
of those. it being necessary to narrow
the frame in order to do so. II Is
equipped with double tires on the
rear, with one set Of chains covering
both.
Several previous attempts have
been made to make n sled of this
kind. but 1t has never leen done sue
cessfully until the differential was
removed. from the rear axle housing,
causing both wheels to drive.
While this outfit is not quite as
practical as the new So called SNOW
mobile" sold by Ford dealers, II is
much more inexpensive and goes
anywhere where there IS fair sleigh
track, and has much more power In
high gear than the snowmobile.
