Merchants Day
At WaterVille Fair

traction throughout the day. Those
who brought rubbers expecting to
encounter a sea of mud on the
grounds were able to use them very
little, for workmen spread a thick
coating of sawdust on the roads and
in this way kept them suitable for
walking.
The Coliseum and exhibition halls
were packed through the day. The
weather which was decidedly warm,
made it necessary to open all the
windows possible in the buildings
and even then it was almost uncom-
fortably warm. Perhaps the most
comfortable spot on the grounds
was the grandstand, for hundreds
f1ocked here to watch the racing,
ball game and vaudeville.
The dance hall was another pop
ular place throughout the afternoon
and evening. The management has
secured an excellent orchestra and
the hall was crowded with dancers
from P. M. until midnight.
The display of fireworks last eve
ming was enjoyed by thousands The
light from them could be seen all
over the city and the noise could
be heard for miles around. Some
very wonderful set pieces were dis
played which drew much applause
from the audience.
On the midway the Ferris wheel,
merry-go-round, ocean wave, merry
mixup and whip were kept running
at full blast. The hot-dog stands
and ice cream counters were busy
places and the games of chance
or no chance, were well patronized.
Dealers in machinery, canoes,
boats, tractors and automobiles were
able to find enough interested WISH
tors of the fair to demonstrate their
wares to and with everything on
the grounds was running at full
blast the great crowd swelled here
and there, happy and contented to
have fair day at the Central Maine
fair.
Today will be Governors Day.

deficit was S5l.O000 O0-instead OF

Canadian government has not re-
stored pre-war rates. Rates are 80
per cent higher than prc-war rates.
The Canadian taxpayers paid that
5l.000000 deficit. If the United

American railroads, with their far
more extensive mileage and did as

been able to do. the taxpayers would
