Laundry Fills Place
In the Modern Life

Riverside Laundry for Particular
People" is the name and slogan of
one of Gardeners hustling enterprises.
If there is anything in the world
about which people are particular, it
certainly is the appearance and con-
dition of their laundry. The proprie-
tors Of the Riverside Laundry realize
this. They have made it point that
clothes shall be thoroughly and sani-
tarily cleaned and yet shall be handled
with the same care and attention that
would be given by the housewife if
she were doing the work at home.
This thoughtfulness and service are
what have made the Riverside Laun-
dry the favorite that it is with people
all up and down the Kennebec valley.
Daily service to Augusta Is featured
while all town adjacent to Gardiner
are included in the calls made by this
Riverside laundry wagons.
Good laundries occupy an essential
place in the life of the modern house
keeper. Laundry proprietors have, by
their conventions and swapping ideas,
placed their business on a firm
footing. They realize that service is
a prime essential. Satisfaction can
only come with service. That this
condition has been habitually met is
just one of the reasons why the bust
ness of the Riverside Laundry has
grown so steadily

Youngest Drug Store in
The Capital City

The Augusta Drug Co. is a mighty
lusty youngster. metaphorically
speaking, for this concern, in name
and management, is the newest In
service in Augusta.
1t was only a few weeks ago when
E. L. Cowan and H. S. Jackson. who
compose the company, took over
what was the B. e. Bither drugstore.
Since their advent, there have been
many changes, not only in the ap-
pearance of the establishment, but
also in the goods and service feat
ured. More than that the new pro-
prietors have shown by their enter
prise that they are going right after
the business.
The location of the Augusta Drug
Co., at the corner of Bridge and
Water streets, has -or years been a
pharmacy. If there were not drug
store there it would not seem like
Water street. More than that. even
in these days when traffic is so heavy
and so congested. this particular
corner location is ideal for business.

stocked with those goods that are
so essential to the success of mod

Bread, Beans, Buns
Always Better Baked

Rand & Stearns-one says the two
names and Immediately the hearer rec
ognizes the business.
Rand & Stearns are bakers. There
Is hardly anyone up and down the
Kennebec valley but who knows this
firm. For years their place of bust
ness on Cony street, Augusta, has
been one of the familiar merchandise
ing establishments of the city. Alvus
F. Rand and Willis N. Stearns are the
members Of the firm. 1t is worthy of
note, too, that each of the men is an
experienced baker.
Milk bread is especially featured by
Rand & Stearns and the quality of this
Is such that it is in demand all over
this section. But the bakers haven't
limited their activities to bread by any
means; one glance at their attractive
windows Is proof Of this. If one need
ed further proof. a casual remark to
any student of Cony High school
would bring out praises for turnovers,
whipped cream puffs, fig squares,
luncheon cakes and a hundred and one
other things which are made here. for
Cony students just flock to the Rand
6, Stearns establishment at recess and
other times.
Modern bakeries require modern
equipment and modern methods. Rand
& Stearns have kept pace with this
tendency. Large quantities Of food are
prepared and cooked in a time that
would have seemed impossible to the
old-time baker. Not only that, but
goods are baked better than they used
to be, conditions are more sanitary.
Just as all phases of modern life re-
ouire more things, so it is with ones
food. Rand & Stearns adequately
meet the modern demand.
There were times, too, when it would
have been thought sacrilige to pur-
chase baked bean. Not so now. Mod
ern bakers have proved that they
know how to bake beans. Rand &,
Stearns have specialized in this dis
tinctly New England dish and it occu-
pies a place in their merchandise just
as prominent as the milk bread and
the other good things turned out of
their ovens.

GARDINER HILLS ARE
MADE LEVEL

Gardiner hills are not easy walk
ing when one is tired. But Villa m
K. Tibbetts has developed a custom
of ''leveling them out" No, he hasn't
troubled the hills themselves, but his
taxi service is so efficient that hills
mean nothing and hundreds of Gar
diner residents find it much easier
to call Tibbetts than to try to walk
around.
Located in depot square with a
telephone service, Tibbetts' taxi serv-
ice is within the reach of everyone
who wants quick service. Best of
all, the time of day doesn't figure
into the situation at all, for both day
and night service are maintained. 1t
is just matter of calling Tibbetts
and saying: Taxi wanted at -
and almost before the receiver has
been returned to the hook, the taxi
is waiting at the door.

The many examples of his work in
Gardiner and other sections are
proof of this. and in these days when
there is such great tendency on
the part of many to do a job for

Dinner Pail Epics
(By BILL LLOYD

By telegraphic news I seed how
Daniel Gray Gogetter Reid has left
the pirate ships wet deck and hand
ed in his tinplate check. He's left be-
hind the light of day, not going the
Rock Island way, and gone where
there's eternal ban on mama served
from trust-made can.
A lotta ailments too he took-most
all that's in the doctor book. Dis
eases come quite thick and fast to rich
old guys who have a past. A string
of wives had shared his bed, but very
quickly they wuz dead. AS soon as
one wuz in the grave his safe deposit
boxes gave an opportunity to safe his
passions with brand new mate.
Now Reid wuz just the kind you
seen played up in poplar magazine. A
young bank clerk he wuz at start, but
being willing, bright and smart, he
put his pennies under lock, and never,
never, watched the clock. By this ro-
mantle tale you see how wealth doth
come from industry.
Now that would be the wild perver-
sion of some sob-sister's written ver-
sion. But am not upon the staff of
those who forge an epitaph. So here
the true account is told of how this
old rake got his gold. He first got
in the upper crust by organizing tin
plate trust, which under Bill McKin-
ley's bill just poured the money in his
till. The steel trust took his outfit
in and he took steel trust bonds for
tin. Pursuing now our faithful text,
he grabbed r TX Island railroad next.
Under the landing of this gink it's
balance soon wuz in red ink. For
years he MIXED the road bone dry.
Receivers took it with a sigh. Stock
holders went into their pocket to save
the darned thing from the docket.
While holy angels hover near, thus
ends a great success-career. But if
the angels don't like shocks, they bet
ter oil and fix their locks and give
the big vault door a jerk-we're send

Unions Are Alert to
Coal BarOns' Plot

Charleston, w. Va. - Anti-union
forces of this state are preparing leg
islation that would make strikes lille
gal, and would declare contracts void
that are against public policy" The
latter provision would permit corpor-
tion-controlled judges to rule that a
labor agreement is against public
policy.
The trickiest proposal, however,
would make it unlawful for miners to
maintain their check-off system of
collecting dues, while protecting the
coal companies in using the check-off
to collect bills from their employees
who are forced to patronize company
stores and company doctors, and live
in company houses.
The United Mine Workers are MAX
ing heroic efforts to care for miners
and their families who are evicted
from company houses because miners
refuse to desert the union. The tents
furnished these families by the union
shelter them in a way from wintry
blasts, and the union is appealing to
organized labor and sympathizers to
contribute money and clothing that
lives of helpless children may be
saved.
Will c. Thompson, secretary of
mine workers district No. II, whose
address is box 1882, Charleston, W.
Va, is authorized to receive funds in
behalf of the miners.

Income Tax Dope
Which May Help You

Washington-The exemptions under
the revenue act of 1924 are $1,000
for single persons and $1,000 for mar
ried persons living together, and
heads of families. In addition a $40C
credit is allowed for each person de-
pendent upon and receiving his chief
support from the taxpayer, if such
person is under 18 years of age or
incapable of self-support because
mentally or physically defective.
The normal tax rate under the rev.
enue act of 1924 is 2 per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income in excess of
the personal exemptions, credit for
dependents, ETC., 4 per cent on the
next $4,000, and per cent on the
balance. Under the preceding act the
normal tax rate was per cent on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and credits, and 8 per
cent on the remaining net income.
The revenue act of 1924 contains a
special provision for reduced taxes
which did not appear in previous laws.
All net income up to $4,000 is con-
sidered learned income" On this
amount the taxpayer is entitled to a
credit of 25 per cent of the amount
of the tax.
For example, taxpayer, single and
without dependents, may have re-
ceived in 1924 a salary of $4,000 and
from a real estate transaction a prof
it of $4,000. His total net income
was $4,000. Without the benefit Of
the 25 per cent reduction his tax
would be $50. His actual tax is $50.
From his net income of $4,000 he is
allowed personal exemption of
$1,000; the tax of 2 per cent on the
first $4,000 is $50, one-fourth of
which, or 500, may be deducted.
For the purpose of computing this
credit, in no case is the earned net
income considered to be in excess of
$4,000. A taxpayer may have re-
ceived for the year 1924, net income
from salary of $4,000, but the Is per
cent credit can be applied to only one
half of this amount.

Aliens Wait in Cuba
For Chance to Get In

Washington-About 10000 Euro
peans are now in Cuba awaiting the
opportunity to slip over" to the
United States, it was declared in tes-
timony by w. w. Husband, commits
sioner general of immigration, to the
house appropriations committee.
Foreigners going to Mexico for this
purpose, however, are relatively few,
Mr.. Husband added, because of the
reluctance of the Mexican govern
ment in allowing them to enter its
territory, and because of the limited
transportation facilities between Eur
ope and that country. A greater num-
Der of aliens try to get through the
northern border than through the
southern border, Mr.. Husband said,
because of the nearness of large
towns to the border.
