CAP SEATON'S DEATH
IS LOSS TO BOWLING

News of the somewhat unexpected
death of Charles II. Seaton, editor of
the Bureau of Soils of the Department
OF Agriculture, will come as a shock
to the old-time bowlers of the city.
His death means the loss of royal
supporter of the duckpin game, and
the departure of one of the finest
sportsmen who ever took his stand on
the local runways. Cap" Seaton (his
ghost would haunt any one calling
him 'Dr." Seaton) was fine illustra-
ton Of the high-class men attracted to
the duckpin game. He was dean of
the editors OF the Department of Agri-
culture. a man of liberal culture and
astonishing versatility.
Aside from his remarkable knowl-
edge of agriculture and law he was a
connoisseur in several branches of the
fine arts; landscape painter of
ability, and for many years a mem
Der of prominent symphony or

His failing eyesight led him to

ago, but he. never lost his love for
the game. He had been i'll for a
month or more, but his death. on

COAL ORDERS NOW
BEING RUSHED

It's just as it always has been;
people who have known since last

waited until the chill days of aut-
umn have come before placing their
orders.
The F. n. Boston Coal Co, of Car

weather in the rush of orders that
are being received every day. Coal
is essential to the heating of the
home, to the running of office build
ings and stores and the orders are
Just piling in. To be sure the price
is high. but no higher than it was
last winter for all of the strike
But while il may be remote pos
sibility, it is not certain there will
not be an increase in the price of
coal. The real winter weather is
still some weeks off There is Vet
time to secure coal. even though the
last few days have been a rush. 4

ton to all householders.
In addition to coal OF all kinds

householders have started fires in

The Boston company is well supplied
to care for orders on wood for fur

also from the service it renders.
The greasing Of cars Is a leading
kind of work done there.
Drive up your car, let us grease

Shirley's way of putting it. when

With colder days here, the greas-

than In the summer time. The

TExACO GAS HAS
JUMPED TO FRONT

Texaco gas has become favorite
with thousands of motorists Many
people in and around Augusta pre-
fer it to other varieties of gas be-
cause of the power and cleanliness of
it.
This Is due to a new and better
quality of Texaco that has recently
been put out. In the distribution of
this, the Kennebec Oil Co. has had
its share for the introduction of this
new Texaco gas was a country
wide proposition with every section
of the United States receiving it at
the same time. Its introduction was
received with immediate favor and
all the TeXaco gas stations in this
section were kept busy and still are

ONLY MCKAY STITCHER
IN CENTRAL MAINE

Cary & Poulin of Augusta are the
only shoe repair men in this sec
ton of Maine who have a Mckay
stitcher.
Now to those who do not know
much about shoe making and shoe
rebuilding, this may not mean much.
But to those who do know 1t is a
big thing. More than that, to the
thousands of women who wear light
weight shoes, whether they be strap
pumps, step-ins, ties or some other
delicate model the presence of this
Mckay stitcher in Augusta means a
whole lot.
Soles of shoes may be divided
into two classes: those that have
the So called Goodyear welt and the
Mckay sole. The Goodyear welt. as
most know, is that type of sole that
projects beyond the uppers and
through which the bottom sole is
stitched. The Mckay style has no
such projection. The best instance
OF the Mckay last is to be found in
women's pumps.
A Mckay stitoher is especially de-
signed for sewing soles on shoes of
the Mckay last type-that is, those
that have no protection. In other
words, the only way soles may be
seWed to women's pumps is by the
use Of the Mckay stitcher for, by
its use, the stitches are made in
side the shoe. But the Mckay
stitcher may also be used on shoes
Of the Goodyear welt type so it
serves a double purpose.
The possession of this Mckay
stitcher by Cary & Poulin has re-
suited in huge amount of work for
this firm. Since they have the only
Mckay machine in this section of
the State, it naturally follows they
are the only ones who can do stitch
ing inside the soles of the shoes. In
other words, by this process. they
are able to make. a pair of pumps
look like new ones when 1T comes to
putting on new soles.
Cary & Poulin, at their shops on
Water street and on Cony hill are
busy every work day Shoes for
both sexes and for men and women
boys and girls. are brought to them
