Country roads have been at their
best for this year. They are now
getting a good soaking and automo-
biles and trucks will cut them up so
during the time that they are soft
! that the, damage cannot be overcome
until they dry again in the Spring.
! However, the great Improvement
which has been made on the ROADS
! the last few years prevents most OF

ton will take is not known but It Us
said, upon what Is believed to be
good authority, that measures tend

! delays in criminal procedure are al

| The Auburn Chamber OF Com
merce has decided not to oppose the
proposed rate of increase Of the New
| England Telephone & Telegraph
Company. This decision was reach
ed largely on account Of the fact
! that the Chamber lacked sufficient
data to show whether or not the tele-
phone company is justified in making
| the increase. With the mass OF fig-
ures that have been put in by the
| telephone company at the hearing
| before the Public Utilities Commits
sion, 1t Is possible that other Cham
| bers of Commerce may follow the
| lead taken by the Auburn organiza-
ton. It is believed, however, that
there will be no lack of opposition
when the remonstrants open their
| case October 20 before the Commits
sion at the State House. S.
Religion and Rubbish vas the
subject OF stirring sermon given
Sunday evening by DIR. George r.
| Finnie, pastor OF the United Baptist
Church of Lewiston, who has just
returned from a several months visit
in Europe. Referring to the Holy
| Land, he said that a great many
places are authentic while many are
built up to resemble places Of Bible
| days. He asserted that the supposed
place where Christ was crucified and
| also where He was buried were too
near to make 1t seem real. In
| strengthening his claim that 1t was
not all real, DIR. Finnie revealed the
fact that the city OF Jerusalem for
instance had been completely cover
| ed three times and was under about
| 80 feet Of earth which makes it i'm
| possible to have the original city Of
Jerusalem existing at the present
time. The people there worship more
by formality than sincere Christian
ity according to DR.. Finnie who made
a close observation of the customs Of
the people in the present Holy Land.
