The Queen Of Belgium bobbed her
hair, and there is much excitement.
Kings and Queens take up new ideas
cautiously. The King Of England still
drives to the opening of Parliament in
a gilded coach drawn by six or eight
cream colored horses. And he wears a
crown on State occasions, although
everybody knows that the crown has
long been the property Of the House

"Sartor Rersartus," were here he
would find deep meaning in the
Queens bobbed hair.

Winthrop, Picturesque
Lake Town in Valley

named after Governor Winthrop of
SSachusettS, who owned at least
one lot in the plantation. 1t was the
first town in the province of Maine
to be incorporated that was not on
navigable waters.
While normal business holds
through the winter months, there is
a pronounced activity during the
summer season due to the influx Of
summer visitors, the region being
unusually favored by nature as a va
cation spot. Here in addition to sew
eral hotels, can be found numerous
boys and girls camps foStered by out
of state orga niZations, the state camp
of the Y. NJ. G. A. and hundreds of
cottages along the shores of Lakes
Cobbosseecontee and Maranacook.
Two family names stand out in the
history of Winthrop. Bailey and
Stanley. Ezekiel Bailey, one of the
early settlers. established the BUSH
ness of making oilcloth and his de-
scendants have been identified with
the industry down to the present
time. Fires at different periods de-
stroyed the plants but they were al
ways Immediately rebuilt. Oden
Stanley. a Revolutionary soldier,
came to Winthrop in 1895 and ac-
quired the farm on which have lived
several generations of Stanleys.
Here he began the making of wagons
and chaises and made a name for
them that became nation wide.
East Winthrop village was early
recognized as an integral part Of the
main town. The settlers pre- spered
from the first and some of the best
farmers of the region are to be found
there at the present time. Situated
close to beautiful Lake Cobbossee-
contee, this community in common
with other Maine towns shares in the
benefits that inure from the summer
tourist trade.
Winthrop Center. also known as
Baileyville, another important sec
ton of the town, borders on Lake
Cobbosseecontee. The main town is
10 miles west southwest of Augusta
and on the Maine Central railroad. 81
miles from Portland. A branch line
of the kennebec and Androscoggin
electric railroad extends from Au-
gusta.

courageous citizen of Winthrop, Dam

first temperance hotel in the state.
This step was taken in the face Of
dire predictions of failure but the en-
terprise prospered and during the 20
years Deacon Carr conducted the
hostelry many distinguished travel
ers were his guests. A man of active,
genial spirit and unusual liberality,
he nevertheless was always found in
the forefront in the battle against
vice, violence and oppression. He
was constant church attendant.
The character stressed in the per-

town, and whose descendants perpet-

commonsense methods practiced The
town of Winthrop had its actual be-
