Million Dollars
but—
It bought MUSIC
per example of courage is known to the world
cience than Thomas A. Edison’s work in per
il ng the phonograph. The skeptics rose in full
rus when he proposed a better phonograph—an
' rument “that could produce music as numan
lie artists who first gave it utterance.”
Mr. Edison’s experiments exhausted the
entire field of research in sound reproduc
tion. He built and rebuilt until his final,
perfected model cost him Three Million
Dollars.
And the result?
Ask some one who attended the Glen Elli
son recital. There was the public proof.
Mr. Ellison sang in comparison with the
UE-CREATION of his voice by the New
Edison. And no one could distinguish the
living voice from its RE-CREATION.
“The Phonograph with a Soul”
If you love music, you will agree with the enthusiastic
audience:—The New Edison represents Three Million Dol
lars well spent.
I he soul of song is cheap at any price. Yet it'isnow brought
within reach of your pocketbook. The instrument used in
Mr. Ellison’s recital is a duplicate of Mr. Edison’s Three
Million Dollar Model. It sells for {285 (in Canada, $431).

by Ralph Libby, both of Bangor, went
through the draw at the lower bridge into
the river channel, in speaking of the
accident Mr. Foster said the truck was
on the draw when he felt it settling in the
rear. The east section of the draw went
down first giving them a chance to jump,
one on each side. How Libby got out
from under the wheel was a mystery to
him. The trucK. contained films belong
ing to the Universal Film Co., Market
street, Portland. Mr. Gorman manager.
Jesse E. Staples’ auto truck with 2000
feet of green himber, said to weigh six
tons, was on the draw and a short dis
tance behind was a Bangor truck bring
ing the Whitman’s household goods, all
said to weigh about ten tons, when the
Foster truck reached the bridge. It was
noticed by Staples’ driver. Efforts were
made at once to raise the Foster truck
but it was found necessary to send to
Rockland for a lighter and to Bath for a
diver. Both were here ready for work
early Tuesday morning. The car was
found resting on its wheels on the river’s
bed. It was lifted to the lighter and
about noon put onto the bridge. A truck
was waiting and towed it Bangor. The
bridge will remain closed as Cyr Broth
ers arrived Monday from Waterville to
begin on their contract for the new con
crete structure. The accident happened
only a short time before the arrival of the
Gen. Pershing party.

The friends of Albert M. Ames of
Stockton Springs, candidate for senator
from Waldo county in the coming pri
maries, have called his attention to an
item in the last issue of The Journal
which to them carries the implication
that he has made or sanctioned false
statements regarding the length of serv
ice in the Maine Legislature of his oppo
nent, Senator Clement of Montville. Mr.
Ames authorizes the statement that he
freely admits having said that Senator
Clement has served three terms in the
Legislature, two in the House and one in
the Senate; and so far as his knowledge
extends no person has ever received
preferment for a greater length of service
from Waldo county, indicating that it is
against the policy of the voters of this
county to bestow such honors for any
longer period.

At The Davis Sample Shop
The one chance ot jthe season jto get a good
Summer Dress at a tremendous discount.
And the whole story is this:
The big manufacturers of dresses an 1 gowns have been hard hit
by the extremely cold weather experienced by the entire country
this spring, consequently their large stock of summer dresses
made up for early shipments have not moved as quickly as they
should, therefore making it necessary for them to throw these «
goods on the-market at a great discount in order recover financial- 1
ly and to make room to start fall goods through the works.
Luckily, Mr. Davis was in the market buying at the time, an l i
shipped us some wonderful values. In this lot are white an l figur
• ed Voiles, Silks, Satins, Georgettes and Jerseys. Below just a few j
of the many values on our racks.
Voiles, plain white and figured, $ 7.49 to $15.98
Silks and Satins, many patterns, g 16.98 to 26.50 j
