II wonder what ails him." thought
the little rabbit, and curious to see
what would happen, he hid behind a
clump of alders.
- Pretty soon Granddaddy Bullfrog
grew more uneasy, and sitting up,
brought his stomach up into his
mouth, turned 1t inside out to get rid
of what was causing all the trouble,
and after washing 1t thoroughly in
the Old Duck Pond. swallowed it down
again.
What ever has been the matter"
asked the curious little rabbit, hop
ping out, from his hiding place.
Dear. Oh dear" sighed poor Grand
daddy Bullfrog. looking wistfully at
the round, wet mass of paper that he
had just gulped out Uncle Dave will

coal dust is washed away and the
miner regales himself on bountiful
food and finds leisure for diver
sions? Probably there Is something
of most of these reasons back Of It
all.
And SO 1t seems possible to con-
lecture what a wonderful world this
would be If all might be employed at
that for which each is best fitted.
The productivity which could re-
<sult from such happy disposition
of affairs surpasses the imagination.
With all the increasing facilities for
looking to vastly wider horizons
isn't there occasion for confidence
that gradually we will become able
to adapt ourselves better to the
actual needs and advantages?
Meanwhile, speaking of coal min
ing, what have we done in this
country to prevent coal strike
spreading into national calamity
within the not distant future?

Such a pain below my chest.

sighed the old frog, and he scratched
his ear in its bright ring Of bright
yellow, and again rubbed his waist

TIME TO THINK
OF COAL SUPPLY

'Tn the fall the peoples fancy
surely turn to thoughts of coal"
That's a paraphrase, but it's just as
true as the original about In the
spring." for if ever there has been
time when people have been thinking
of coal, it is this fall and the orders
have been pouring into the local
dealers.
Hamilton & Co. of Hallowell are re-
ceiving orders all the time. They
make a special feature of selling rail
coal. In other words, all the coal
they distribute comes I their pockets
in coal cars and none of it is received
by the river route.
This gives us the promptest KIND
of shipments and coal that is all
clean" is the way Levi Williams OF
the Hamilton company expresses 1t.
While there have been no real cold
days at yet, the time when they will
be here is not far off. That means
perpetual coal fires in ranges and
stoves. A cold snap always brings a
rush Of orders and it is sure to be
that way this fall just as it has been
every fall since coal was adopted as
the standard fuel. Naturally, then.
Hamilton & Co. urge that orders be
put in at once so that deliveries may
be made certain.

INDUSTRIAL REVIEW
/ HANDY FRIEND
FOR SICKLY TIMES

II there's any one season that Is
more sickly than the rest, 1t Is prob
ably the fall when colds and other
ailments are prevalent.
Such are the times when the drug
store seems to be the closest friend OF
man. It's mighty handy to be near
a good drug store where one may run
in and secure just the things that are
needed for emergencies.
That is the situation the people Of
Winthrop enjoy, II that word may be
used. The Winthrop Drug Co.. con-
ducts a place right In the heart OF
the town that is handy to all. More
than that, 1t is thoroughly equipped
to care for all needs that may arise.
II 1t Is a hot water bottle to help
out on a cold night, then 1t will be
found here. On the other hand, II an
bag is needed to help reduce
fever in a patient, 1t will be found
here, too. Rubber goods OF first quail
ity are carried at all times.
The putting up of prescriptions IS
one Of the leading phases Of the busi-
ness at this drug store. Only the
purest of drugs are used and the
greatest of care is taken in the COM
pounding of the doctors orders"
The Winthrop Drug Co.. Is an ex-
tremely popular place with summer
visitors, for here they gather for
their ice cream and their soda, to pur-
chase souvenirs or to leave their
camera films for development. But it
is no more popular with those who
come to this section for their vaca-
ton, than for the all-the-year round
resident who knows the value of this
store, the prompt service and the
high quality Of goods always carried
IN stock

A WELCOMING SMILE
FOR ALL VISITORS

The Young China restaurant, just
north of the Colonial theatre on Wa
ter street, is still doing business.
1t will continue to do business, too,
for as ding as Alfred Tong is in
charge-and Of course he always will
be-then good food, reasonable prices
and a nice neat place to eat will al
ways be provided.
There is a pleasure to be ex-
perienced in going to the Young
China restaurant that has made a
big hit, not only with many of the
business men and women of the city,
but also with those who have to town
from the nearby places about Au-
gusta.
OF course, no small part of the
pleasure in eating there is gained
from the fact that Alfred himself Is
always on hand, looking after all the
details and seeing to it that every
person has prompt service.
If there Is a wider or more cheer
full smile in the State of Maine than
is to be found on the face of Alfred
Tong, it would be difficult to tel
where 1t is. Misfortunes seemingly
has little effect on this building young
American. Augusta people still re-
cali the bad fire which burned out his
place. But Alfred never lost his
smile. His brows puckered some
+ perhaps, and he wodered what he was
going to do. But he just threw his
head back, Smiled to show his gold
, tooth" and sailed in.
| That's the way it Is now. There's
never a chance in his cheerfulnes'
and one always feels, pretty well re-
| paid for the greeting he gives.

A FACTORY BUT
ONE THAT'S DIFFERENT

Thousands Of summer visitors
passed through Augusta during the
past year. Practically everyone of
them who came over the State road
from Hallowell, noticed and re-
marked upon the handsome appear
ance of building just southeast OF
the State House.
The building itself, they noticed,
was plain, but the attractive way in
which the grounds were fixed up. the
roses and climbing vines on the walls,
made 1t stand out above other build
ings, even more conspicuously than
some Of the handsome houses in that
section.
What is that attractive looking
placer" was question often asked
by these summer visitors.
"Oh, you mean the Goodwill Shirt
factory" was the reply.
why, that can't be a. factory" was
the comment. 'It looks too good for
that"
But factory 1t is, just the same.
and, of the many things of which Au-
gusta has occasion to feel proud, the
building Of the Goodwill Manufactur-
ing corporation, stands out among the
first.
There are many reasons why Au-
gusta should take pride in this
structure. These reasons are not all
confined to the appearance of the
grounds that surround the building,
either. 1t is mainly because here the
nationally known Goodwill shirts are
made, shirts that have won a most
| enviable popularity and a popularity
that is wholly deserved, too.
Goodwill shirts are noted for the
excellence of the materials used in
| their manufacture, the workmanship
which goes into them, their fit and the
| stylish appearance they have. AS a
matter of fact, not only in Augusta
but in the big cities, the name Good
will stands for all that is good in
shirt manufacture. There is dis
tinction about them that makes their
wearer glad he has purchased such q
worthwhile garment. In the larger
cities, those merchants who carry the
Goodwill merchandise spend thou
sands Of dollars in advertising them
and are glad to do so. for WELL
dressed men everywhere wear Good
will shirts.
There are other products made al
the Goodwill factory; pajamas, loung-
ing suits and the like. that are equal
ly as popular as the shirts. The
same high quality of materials, work
manship and style goes into every
thing that is made there.
In Augusta, the Goodwill products
are sold exclusively by c. T. Bio
| deau.
