The Skowhegan Historical Society
has begun an undertaking well worth
the assistance of every citizen, the
compiling of history of our town.
1t may be years before the volume is
completed, but good Roadway has
been made. 1t is one of the needs
of Skowhegan, this chronicling of
portant events since the arrival of
Joseph Weston, the first permanent
settler on April 80, 1772 up to the
present time. The average person
not at all interested in research can
little comprehend the amount OF
work required to get accurately the
incidents of the earlier years. Any
one having any historical data should
communicate with this society OF
which Judge Danforth is the presi-
dent.

Among the favorable comments
about our own Mrs. Florence Waugh
Danforth, president of the Maine Fed
Grafton of Women's. Clubs at the
meeting of the Federation last week
In Lewiston, was the following clip
ned from the Lewiston Journal:
The gavel banged right on the
hour, for Mrs. Florence Waugh
Danforth of Skowhegan, the new
ly elected president, Is always
right-on-the-dot.
Business-like describes her In
nutshell, and she kept right to the
program, keeping things just
humming thru the morning ses-
sion.
Mrs. Danforths executive abilities
are we'll known in Skowhegan having
filled many offices of Importance II
local organizations with credit to her.
self. We feel sure that she will sc
fulfill her duties for the Maine FEEDER
alton, thus bringing a very significant
ionor to the clubs of Skowhegan.

FAITHFUL DOG REscUEs
WOMAN FROM WOODS

STROUDSBURG. Pa. July 26.--
Mrs. Henry Tschudy Of Matamoras,
owes her life to the fact that the

that 1t attracted the attention Of
James Johnson, who followed the
sound and discovered the woman
lying unconscious IN a clump Of
bushes in an almost inaccessible
part of the mountainside.
The woman has been accustomed
TO climbing the steep mountain for
years to gather huclSleberries, aud
was IN one Of these trips when
she was stricken, The day was
very hs,t. and this coupled with the
hard climb OF the mountain, is
believed to have caused the women
