Slow. Straining exercises must be

chap can make himself a capable per-
former in the water by following q
few simple rules. He can beat the
other fellows he knows, nine times out

looked over at his corner--he prac-

he was swimming! 1t was a dog

but alternate beats OF arms and legs.

Side Stroke Is Helpful.
The side stroke is the one generally
used in life saving. Most carrying is
done with it, because it can be used
with only one arm free. AS its name
indicates. it is executed with the
swimmer on his side. The lower arm
makes a kind of circle under water
extending forward below the head as
the upper arm Gf unoccupied) pulls
backward. and then making back
ward sweep down through the water
and to- the side of the body. There
the elbow bends, the arm doubles ami
the forward extension commences
again. The upper arm, also circling
in sweeping stroke, may leave the
water for the forward stroke or re-
main under at all times, as the swim
mer desires. Its movement is much
like that of the lower arm, except that
its backward pull is made down across
and in front of the body, instead of
below the body.

AN ALASKA CHAMPION

The Gateway published an Associated Press dispatch from Seattle Wednesday giving in part Col Steeses address before the Seattle Mining Club in which he stated and onehaf million dollars would be spent in Alaska this on trail and road maintenance.
 Alaskans have long known how fortunate they are to have at the head of it's most important department the Alaska Road Commission, of the calber of Colonel Steese but few know of the great work being accomplish ed for Alaska by former residents of the Territory by those who financially interested in it's development Among these is the Hon. Wm Suzer former governor of New York and brother to the late Charles Suzer dele gate to Congress from Alaska, whose timely cooperation before the Hearings of the Sub Committees of the Con- mttee Appropriations in the United States Senate, 69th Congress, First Session HR 8917-a Bill making appropriations for the military and non-mitary activ ties of the War Department for the fiscal year ending June 30 1927 and for other purposes undoubtedly big factor in convincing the members of the Senate body of importance in granting the full appropriation asked for by Colonel Steese The importance of assisting the miner and prospector by liberal road and trail strction policy particularly stressed by Mr. Sulzer
 Believing his address before the Hearing Committee will be of interest to our readers publishing tracts from it in another column of this issue.
 Alaskans appreciate highly such stout champion at Washington Governor Suzer and will welcome the op- portunity of thanking him personally this upon his visit to the Territory

WILL MOVE ANY

1t is some achievement to be able
to say that anything will be moved

But that is the boast of the Talbot

whale of a big trucking business.

they might balk little. Then,
again, they might not But I'VE will
move anything anywhere is a good
slogan and it will be fulfilled so FAR
as anyone in the Kennebec valley is
concerned.
/ 1t matters little what the job is. the
trucks of the Talbot Ice Co. will be
able to carry it out. A load of fur
niture. piano. big rolls of paper,
packing cases, electric transformers.
or anything else will be handed.
The Talbot people have a way OF
going about job which proves they
know what they are doing. Speed is
shown, but 1t is not reckless speed.
On the contrary, it is the kind of
speed that experienced men are cap
able of producing, safe speed. Ser
vice is what the Talbot company
gives and by the way it is given they
are proving that moving anything
anywhere" is no idle boast. but one
that they are perfectly capable OF
fulfilling.

REAL DOCTORS FOR
MACHINERY ILLS

About as disconcerting a situation
as one can face is to be doing bit
of work and find that a screw or
bolt has broken off and there is no
means at hand for extracting the
broken parts. Then, too. even II the
broken parts were taken out. an I'M
usual size bolt or screw or thread
might be encountered. This is an
experience that has befallen hum
dreds of people in this section.
It is a source OF satisfaction to
know. therefore, that when diff
f1culty of this kind develops, the
remedy is to take the work to the
Augusta Machine shop on Winthrop
street and have the trouble cured.
The Augusta Machine shop can do
it, just as it can do hundreds of
other things, for, be it known, this
Is the biggest and best equipped
shop in Central Maine.
The turning of a small thread on
a piece Of iron is very small job,
but 1t is given just as much careful
attention as other work; for in
stance the turning of big piece of
metal in the huge ten-foot lathe that
is operated at the shop, a lathe that
feet long and 80 inches in diameter
may be handled in it.
1t would be impossible, probably,
to name kind of machine work
that could not be done at the Au-
gusta shop where E. II. Boynton, the
superintendent, has brought his %
years Of experience into play and is
turning out work for manufacturing
plants, firms and individuals all over
Maine.
The automobilist will be able to
have work done here that can be
done in no other place. Stripped
starting gears may be replaced by
Logan gears, cylinders ground,
burnt-out connecting rods re-bab-
bitted and a countless number of
other things done.
Then there are all kinds of sharp
ening done here, elevator work of
every description, gas and steam en-
gines treated for their troubles.
| There are lathes and drill presses
and milling machines and planners
and a trip hammer. Why, so varied
| is the work, that keys for any kind
| of a lock may be fitted and made.
! The Augusta Machine shop is quite
an institution and one in which the
| city takes a justifiable pride.

cakes have won a fame that has
extended beyond the confines of the
town. for the summer visitors have
enjoyed the real homemade flavor
of all that is prepared and eagerly
look from one season 70 another
when they may return to the sec
ton and have a chance to regale
themselves with the many good
things provided. Standing out
prominently among the bakery prod
ucts are baked beans and brown
bread. How these homely New Eng
land foods are prepared is the real
test of a bakery. The fact that the
Winthrop market always sells out
its supply of these commodities is,
probably, the best proof of the excel
lence with which they are prepared.

COAL CLUB MEMBERS
ARE FEELING HAPPY

These are busy days for coal deal
ers. The Purinton Bros. Co. of Au-
gusta is finding that the cold season
now beginning is one of the busiest
they have ever experienced.
But to a large number OF the resi-
dents of this section, the fact that
this concern is busy is another PROOF
of the fore handedness of the Yam
kee, for much of this present day
rush is due to the delivery Of coal to
members of the Purinton Bros. Coal
club. There are several kinds or
clubs being maintained in Augusta.
Among them, there is none more ap-
preciated at the present time than
this coal club, for the members OF II
are getting their coal Many have
had ii and, best of all, they breathe
sigh of relief when they realize that
by the safe and easy method of pay
ment the fuel needed for the winter
is all paid for. AS matter Of TACT
those who Joined this club last spring,
will, by their weekly payments, have
their coal all paid for before the end
of this month. Everyone of them IS
spared the necessity of Ordering
early" for his coal was ordered last
spring. In case of a scarcity they
have been protected. They have
also been protected against any rise
in price, for in the spring, after the
settlement of the last strike, predlc-
lions were freely made that the price
of coal might rise. That possibility
has not yet been removed.
Colder days are coming. It viii be
wise for those who have not yet or
dered their full supply to prepare 1or
their needs and place their orders
now, is the opinion of the Purlntoh
Bros. Co.
In the handling of building mater
iaI. the Purinton Bros. Co. is one OF
the largest concerns in this section
of the State. There is hardly
thing that goes into the construction
of a building but what may be Sc
cured here. Hardware and glass
alone are excepted. Cement, bricks OF
all kinds, fues for chimneys, metal
laths. cornices, roofing, clay mortar
are all carried. And now the COM
panv has added Lowe Bros. paints
Land full supply has been stocked.
BY doing this. they have taken over
the trade formerly held by Hlllmah
Inc. who were the agents for thls
we'll known brand of paint. A com.
plete new stock has been installed
and will be ready for sale TO the pun
lie this week. In this way, the FUR
linton company is providing announcer
service for the community.

Now to those wo do not know, 1t
may be said that "Slick" Is a lubri-
cant for automobiles. 1t is especially
designed for heavy duty and the Uni
ted States government which Is al
ways on the watch for the best and
most serviceable has adopted this
for q large number of the trucks used
in Federal service. But 1t is said to
work in cars as well as in trucks.
"There's only one trouble with
Slick" said Sherman the other day
in discussing the properties OF this
lubricant. you put it in your car or
truck once and the chances are that
you'll never have to renew the sup
ply. 1t simply will not wear out or
lose its good qualities It's pretty
