WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7, 1925

Once more group OF pubic
spirited Ellsworth citizens has made
possible a Chautauqua course OF en-
tertainments in Ellsworth, by guar
anteeing the expense. The motive or
these citizens is to give the people
Of Ellsworth something worth while
in the line Of educational and inter-
esting entertainments. They should
be applauded for their efforts. and
the Chautauqua should receive a
public support that should relieve
them Of the necessity of going into
their own pockets to meet deficit.

(By Claude L. Bonsey. Surry. Maine.)
Out of the country, rich with dust
Comes an old Ford covered with rust
Her tenders bent, her top is torn,
Her windshield broken and tires worn
With plenty of rattles and lots OF
speed
She moved along, at her drivers heed
She coughs, and sputters. and hacks'
and hams.
Then stops dead still, while the driver
dams.
Ont of the seat the driver jumps
Ont of the Ford with thousand
bumps
Catches the crank and twists II round'
And the nivver starts with a mighty
bound.

On she goes, whether day or night
Back to the country, covered with aust
Go she may, but rattle she must.

A boy left the farm and got job
in the city. He wrote letter to his

farm, telling Of the joys Of city life in
which he said: Thursday we au-

about the pond, appear at first
glance as If clearly cut by one stroke
of an axe, but closer examination
discloses the marks of the razor
sharp teeth of the beaver. The dam
at some places is four or five feet
high. 1t is so firmly built that a
man may walk across the top of it.,
and it Is practically water-tight.
On one shore of the pond the
beaver have constructed their house.
This is structure of sticks and mud,
much as the dam is built. 1t Is
about six feet from top to bottom,
and about as broad. The entrance
to this house is below the water-line,

the beaver in Trenton. Years ago
there were many beaver on Union
river waters, and on streams near
Ellsworth. but it has been long
time since they disappeared. Oc-
casional signs of their work have
been SEEN but the present operation
at Trenton is the first attempt to
establish colony near Ellsworth for
years.
The activities Of these little en-
gineers are always interesting and 1t
seems as though man must have
gained many valuable points in the
building of dams from his active
friends of the woods. Man with all
his labor saving devices cannot &C
complsh the effective results that the
beaver can with his simple geometry.
