The "shop early" slogan is a good one, but it is believed that the motive is not altogether a philanthropic one. The business men are behind it.

Football
Last Saturday afternoon the ^"ree- port Town Football Team played the most exciting game of the season and held the Hollis Field Club to a 0 to 0 score at the Hollis grounds. An un¬ usually large crowd of spectators wit¬ nessed ths game and although the weather was very cold, all stayed to the very enC. When the game first started the field was wet and muddy from thawing, but by the second half it had become so cold that the ground ' was frozen tight and the field was as hard as pavement.
In the first (juarter Hollis kicked oflT and Freeport ran the ball back to the middle of the field. From there they worked their way to the Hollis 40-yard line and then lost the ball on downs. Hollis started back the   field   and   had i

I had often wondered just how much time the individual members of the drummer department gave to actual fire fight ing, outside of the time taken for rou¬ tine department and company business, and I have found, in a record Kept by one of the companies, data on which to base sotne interesting figures alon^; this line.
A record has been kejil liy this com¬ pany from May '21, I'.UO. to ilate. of all fires attended and this record in¬ cludes the time the apjiaratus Im out of the house, and the number of men re¬ sponding. A complete record of M6 lires, this being about \o short of the t<vt>i! niimhei' of irenoml HlHrma from that dale to June 1, 1014, gives the following interesting ti^ures:
Nuniber ot fires of which coniiilete record was kept, S6.
Total time »pparatus was out of house, 7ti haurs.
Average time per call, aliout ."i3 min¬ utes.
Total number me,n responding.  1 12:').
Average number jier fire, Iti.
This company has aJ-iout the average nieniiiership ol the coinpanies of the departmen*. Smiie iiave more, some men per com- I considcfed a fair ratio. Six comiianies would mean an attenUaiu'e of 00 men per fire. Al¬ lowing for 111 per cent, of these ni'iii- bers simply responding to roll call at house, and not doing fire .luty. leaves about 80 men |ier tire. Highly six men, at 53 minutes each, means 76 incident hours per fire or a total in the four years of 272 days of twenty four hours each, of 817 days of eight hours each which is the number of hours per clay our police department, water and I'ght deiiartment, etc.,  work.
