fain Street Parkways Workmen
this' week are getting the ground of
t AA 1 l r l A..1J
the parkways on iviain street reaay to
hp planted and beautified according
v,o nians suggested by the Wo
man's Club. If they succeed on Main
ctrPPt as well as they did on Spring
-trpet vou will see something to be
proud of when the blossoms come a
gain. Public Spirited Citizen Mr. C. U.
Thomas, the splendid citizen and far
mer nf Vireilina Koute i, was on tne
market Wednesday with one barn of
tnharco. selling at the Johnson Ware
house. This was Mr. Thomas' first
load marketed this season. He has
several thousand pounds of good and
fine grades yet to be marketed. Mr.
Thomas is a public spirited citizen
and has done much for the roads in
hi section of the county.
Irish Potatoes Did you raise any
of those $4.00 Irish potatoes the
Public Ledger advised you to plant
lat spring in that field you "let lie
out" this rear? - Well, if you had
doe so, those $4.00 potatoes would
now command $4.50 to $5.25 a bar
rel and would have a "cracking good
start" for $6.00 a barrel before
Christmas. Better plant some now for
an early spring crop. Fall planted
potatoes and onions always "hit"
well.
On the War Path If you should
see a bare-headed man trotting up
?nd down the National Highway,
don't set scared. This is the method
employed by Justin Rankoff, the
Russian, to keep warm these cool
mornings. Justin operates the ma
chine at the Orpheum Theatre and is
a eood fellow or at least he is harm
less. He made it to Providence and
return last Sunday, covering twelve
miles in two hours..

Utah's New Governor Wealthy
(The Washington Post)
"Sion Bamberger, who apparently
has been elected Governor of Utah
on the Democratic ticket, is proba
bly the richest man in our State,"
said Preston R. Lang, of Salt Lake
City, at the Shoreham. "Mr. Bam
berger came to this country from
ermany a poor and friendless boy,
but by dauntless energy and an am
bition that never yielded to reverses,
wursea nis way to the front, amd
for many years has been recognized
as one of the leading financiers of
the West. Two years ago, when
Senator. Reed Smoot was a candi date
ior re-election, the friends of Mr.
Bamberger wanted him to run, but
he gave way to another. Senator
Smoot narrowly escaped defeat, and
it is still believed by our political
experts that if he and Bamberger
had been pittde against each other
Smoot would have lost. The Governor-elect
is greatly liked by men
of all parties, and will make a splen
did executive."
