[[underlined]] Auto to Naples [[/underlined]]

about $300 & sold it for $1500 (for the timber). Used to own Buck Id. & sell hunting privelege. He wore home knitted [[strikethrough]] woolen [[/strikethrough]] socks & took us home to get apples (under his trees) for us, & let us see his children. "Children are the making of house", he said feelingly. His eyes filled with mild astonishment at Cal. snake stories. He knew a man who killed a doe moose but wouldn't tell who it was. he announced firmly - get a man into trouble - bad trouble - he wouldn't do that.
  To get a fox, he said, you had only to make a noise like a mouse & the fox would come close. If he was moving he wouldn't see you.
  His dialect was delicious but I couldn't get it. Bridgton is a large town with woolen ^ [[insertion]] factory [[/insertion]] & pig skin tannery & Naples has a large hotel & boat landing for steamboat going down to Sebago Lake. It seemed strange to see summer people - [[insertion]] one [[/insertion]] woman in white, with white shoes, & others in tight narrow skirts of the summer fashion. 2 boys in soldier costume with ^ [[insertion]] short [[/insertion]] revolvers in belts looked [[underline]] odd [[/underline]] in this peaceful farming community.
Big lines along the village streets.
