Bucksport and Prospect, a little scow type ferry with only a twoâ€"car caâ€" A few miles further up the river at Winterport, is another homely ferry of similar type. Both are liberâ€" ally patronized because they save a 30 or 40 mile drive, necessary if the motorist were to drive around by way of the nearest bridge at Bangor. Several picturesque ferries are found on the Androscoggin. At Rumford Center, the ferryman has taken the engine and transmission out of an old "Aivver" and installed it on one side of the scow so that a chain drive turns a amail paddie wheel. The overhead cable is retained at this point.

Requirement Meet Each Individual Y A motorist trading in a used car ot truck used in the course of his busiâ€" * ness, when purchasing new equipment, is entitled to a deduction from his inâ€" icume tax, under the terms of a ruling | just made by the Internal Revenue | Bureau and announced by the legal | department of the American Motorâ€" |ists" association in coâ€"operation with | the Automobile club of Illinois. INCOME TAX CUT IN TRADING IN OLD CARS NEW DECISION EXPLAINS Allowed on Cars Used for Busiâ€" ness Purposes, But Not on Those for Pleasure The decision is regarded of imâ€" portance by the association, not only becruse it will affect the purchase of future cars and trucks, but because it is retroactive. Under the Revenue Act of 1921, the treasury department has always beretofore held that no loss is recognized from the trading in of trucks and passenger. cars used for business purposes on new trucks and passenger cars to be used for like purposes. Not on Pleasure Cars Under the new ruling the departâ€" ment now holds that where the motorâ€" ist sustains a loss in connection with the trade in that he may properly deâ€" duct the loss from his annual income ; tax. The decision has no application | to tradeâ€"ins where the passenger car is used purely for pleasure. | The amount which may be deducted from the annual tax is the difference between what was allowed on the old car and what the actual depreciaud‘ value was. As an example: If the‘ dealer allowed but $1,000 on a tradeâ€"| in and the old car was actually worth $1,500, the amount which might be deducted would be $500. The decision tion on one car of $890.61, on a seeâ€" ond of $239.37 and on a third of $336.â€" 09, or a total of $1446.07 which the buréa@ ow holds was a proper deâ€" duction for the motorist to make inâ€" asmuch as the cars were used in the courss of his business. of the bureau was based on?a case purchase of new cars and trucks, used in the course of their business, they may now apply to the treasury departâ€" tment for an adjustment of their tax, inasmuch as the ruling not only affects traded in old cars and trucks in the deals in the future, but also, deals that have been made in the past," it is pointed out by Si. Mayer, president of the Automobile elub of TMlinois and viceâ€"president of the association. "To obtain the refund, it will be necessary for the motorist to show that his traded in car or truck was worth more than the dealer allowed him in the transaction, and also that it was used in the course of his business.

NAME NEW BRIDGES FOR NOTED PIONEERS LEWISâ€"CLARK â€" MEMORIALS The two new bridges, one across the Mississippi river at Alton, IIL., and the other across the Missouri river at Ft. Bellefontaine, Mo., have been named the Lewis and Clark Bridges in honor of Captain Meriâ€" weather Lewis and Captain William Clark, who started their famous exâ€" pedition to the great Northwest terâ€" ritory near the site of the Missouri river bridge in 1804. These new bridges will be opened for traffie on August Ist, and will provide a new, short and less conâ€" gested route for motorists entering or leaving St. Louis from points north and east and south and south~ west. The William Clark bridge over the Mississippi river at Alton will make it possible for tourists traveling from Chicago and points east to cross the river at Alton, drive over state highâ€" way No. 94 to St. Charles, Mo., a distance of 26 miles, thus avoiding the congested districts of St. Louis, and over 100 railroad crossings and saving from two to three hours in driving time, The Meriweather Lewis bridge over the Missouri river will eliminate the necessity of motorists following the congested, tangerous route now used through Granite City, Venice, Madiâ€" son and East St. Louis wherein one must cross 42 grade crossings, many of which have from one to five railâ€" road crossings, and the distance of 30 miles. The new bridges will also shorten the distance between St. Louis and Alton by 7 miles. The new bridges are of historical significance since they commemorate the starting point of the expedition of William Clark and Meriwether Lewis. One hunred and twenty years ago when Lewis and Clark, commisâ€" sioned by President Thomas Jefferâ€" son to explore the Northwest, crossed the Mississippi river at the conflux of this great stream and the Misâ€" party, 45 in all, included soldiers, hunters, boatmen, workmen, an interâ€" preter and a negro servant of Clark‘s encountered hardships such as today would not be hazarded by the heartiâ€" The party, history relates, had one boat 55 feet long, with 22 oars and a big square sail, and in this vessel the turbulent waters of the Missouri river were braved and the party sucâ€" cessfully started its way to the great Northwest territory. souri river, no ordinary means of travel could be resorted to. The Today, at the point where these pioneers crossed the Mississippi river and started on their journey up the Missouri, motorists can also cross it but in a différent manner.

TRAVELERS CHEQUES SUMMER VACATIONIST The Old Reliable and Progressive Bank REMOVING TRAFFIC FILM FROM AUTOS CHILDREN CAN DO IT NOW By Using Right Kind of Treatâ€" ment; Suggestions for Keepâ€" ing Exterior of Car in Good Condition The traffic film which gathers on the car when it is in service, consists microscopically of from 20 to 50 difâ€" ferent kinds of infinitesimally tiny bits of this, that and the other, most of them of a nature not likely to do the car finish any particular good: It is necessary to keep your car as(‘ free from the film as possible. Chilâ€" dren can keep daddy‘s car glistening. It is not a good plan to keep washing the car. H. Ledyard Towle, the best authority in the country on the sub»' ject, says that the film, being full of| minute particles of grit, acts as a| gentle abrasive for your car‘s finish‘ and if carefully wiped away rather“ improves than damages it. Wipe it off with a soft cloth. Mud, on the| other hand, should be washed off as* soon as possible. Mud allowed to dry | and cake is bad for the finish. 1 Wiping Helps [ It is surprising in what good condiâ€"| tion an automobile can be kept under | ordinary cireumstances by a mere| wiping. The grease around the wheels ’ should be washed away with some} naphtha soap and the top and body ’ can be washed from time to time with | water and any good soap. This is for‘ 'lacquer finishes. If your fenders hapâ€", pen to be varnished be careful of| soap on them except to remove oil or | grease that will not come off nny/ other way.

Treating Nickel Trimmings As much nickelware around a car is ruined by overpolishing as by not polishing enough. Some nickel polâ€" ishes that work fast and give a lovely shine are quite destructive and even abrasive. When you polish your nickel, do it lightly. In most cases a gentle rubbing with a slightly oily cloth will give polish enough and the oil film will protect the nickel from the acâ€" tion of rain and traffic film. After washing your car be sure to wipe everything off perfectly dry, particulâ€" arly the nickel parts. Water is your great enemy of nickel. Door handles and the interior fixtures are better without water. Most of them are usuâ€" ally silver plated. There is one thing about the best modern finishâ€"it is permanent. It not only takes less time to apply than the old varnishes but, when it is on, it has become an integral part of the surface of the metal. No chemical change takes place. It is there, and there to stay with no fading and no cracking. But it is, of course, a finish of itself, not a kind of varnish. as a very The spirit of Child Health Day is hope.â€"Woman‘s Home Companion.

Moses, as permanent chairâ€" man of the convention, said: "It is not so much that we give you this nomination as that you have earned the right to it.

Litschert, in the National Republic, words which ought to be considered carefully by every 3;rions American, especially those of the younger generation which is just now entering the arena of active life. We have had of late too much criticism of our country. Men have questioned its motives and the motives of its governâ€" ment and its ideals at home and abroad. We have heard America reâ€" ferred to in words of irony as "the land of the free," with the implication that liberty has departed from our shorés and is now reposing in the Old World alone. Then innate falsity of such assertions immediately comes to light when we read carefully the words quoted above from the Secreâ€" tary of Commerce. In what other land indeed, but America, can the boys from the country village, without inâ€" heritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded bope? Yet they are looking forward today and many of them will succeed. For inâ€" stead of rank and influence, so necâ€" essary in the Old: World, they have that unbounded American optimism which springs from the knowledge that in this country of ours every man gets a square deal and the opportunâ€" ity to carve out his future according to his own ability and the individual efforts which he may put forth. | Owes None of Us | Our country owes none of us a debt. In giving us the influence of American ‘traditions, adequate schooling and an equal chance, as Mr. Hoover well inâ€" fers, it has placed us all under eternal obligation. Neither the world nor owe to our own country an affectionâ€" ate loyalty in return for the opporâ€" tunities which have been afforded us. Make It Possible for Po Boy to Reach. Heights in This Land
