Combination Between Manufacturers a n d Contractors’ Agents in Capital to Solicit Gov ernment War Orders Under an Agreement I to Fay Commission Illegally to the Agents is Disclosed by Department of Justice AT SAME TIME RAIDS ARE MADE HUNDREDS PLACES THROUGHOUT U. S, i Washington, Juno 17.—A nation wide conspiracy between nvinufai'iur ors and contractors' agents in Warn I ington to solicit government war or j ders under un agreement l«> pay c m missions illegally to the agents w ts I disclosed today by the department f justice. Simultaneously with the announce I ment raids were made on hundreds »f i manufacturers' business offices throughout the I’niled States i* search of papers showing the scope of the illegal practice and four Bos i Boston business men were indicted in Bosu n on charges of acting a.» I contingent fee agents. Even before, the results of the iaid were fully reported tonight, officials indicated they had evidence that {scores, perhaps hundreds of contracts have been made with manufacturers who were under pledge to turn ov r to contract commission agents in Washington, New York and els. where a percentage of 'heir protits. Of ficials said the manufacturers were led to enter into the agreements by 'assurances of the agents that tiv lhad special influence with army °ffi i eers or others in charge of letting con I tracts and under threat to use that influence against the manufacturer-;. Evidence was said to have been s> cured that some of the agents al ready have made thousands in com mission fees. This development ted to investigation I of the relations between certain army i officers ami these agents, and although there is no definite indication that these officers are knowingly involved in the conspiracies, .Secretary Baker Is malar ,i thorough investigation in co-operation with the department of justice ami to night authorised the statement that he would go to the bottom of all suspicions ease3 Secrearv Daniels also is keeping in close touch with the investigation and J the whole situation lias been called to the attention of President Wilson ami j,is cabinet. The commission agents guilty of these illegal practices will be i prosecuted under conspiracy statutes and all contracts made by them or w tli their aid are subject to annulment by the government i namifieations of the plot may lead i shortly to other disclosures as sensa i tjonal as those of today. These may develop as reports trickle in from the dramatic raids prearranged for t o'clock this afternoon, eastern time, when ?e I cret agents of the department of ius tice entered offices of several hundre t business firms showed their hades of authority and spent several hour? going through letter fl’es searching for do returned an in dictment charging conspiracy to ob tain contracts under the illegal r.on tingoin fee plan against John Flem ing. former water mniissioncr of Boston, and John ”1’.

Counter-ata taeks in the hill country on the north at several points have resulted in In occupation h> the allies of groun i won from them in the initial on slaught and the rectification of tie is lines, while a stiffening of the front along the 1’iave river 1m rendered impossible for the t ine being at least, fording of the stream by the enemy. Hard fighting still is in progress, however, with the Austrians bring ing the strongest kind of pressure to bear against the allied armies on both the northern and eastern pari a nf the battlefield in an endeavor to reach the lines and gain access in force to the plains. The strokes ot the enemy are par ticularly violent on the Monte!! plateau, the highest bit of ground along the middle reaches of the I’iave. the capture of which would give him comma nr of the roads leading through Treviso to Venice and a fair-way westward through tlie -province "f Treviso.

Bniperoj Charles is reported to he at the front and thousands of reinforcements for the armies are said to he moving southward. The Allied commanders are anticipating vicious lighting, believing that owing to the turmoil and political unrest in the dual monarchy the Austrians must make a good showing in order to temper the feeling against the war at home. There still has been no return to the heavy fighting of last week on the battl” fronts in France, although several en gagements of greater import than the usual raiding operations have taken place. Counter-attacks against the French in their newly-won positions be tween the Oise and the Aisne deliver* 1 by the Germans Monday were repulsed. The French captured 270 prisoners and 25 machine guns in the fighting Northwest of Chateau Thicrrv. espe cially in the Belleau wood, the Germans are treating the Americans to large waves of gas and troops. Their efforts have gone unrewarded, however, so far as breaking the line is concerned. Amer ican patrols east, of Chateau Thierry again have crossed the Marne, attacked thp Germans and returned to their .mse. In Tersia the Turks ore reported to have captured Tabriz, after Teheran t.ie largest city In Persia.

Xo man who has trav elled there and has seen the great oss inflicted on the soldiers will tell you that it will take less than 5,000. oon men under arms in France to pain a victory in this great world war. H* spoke of th'j lon^r line in France th?it has been held by troops there and the fact that hehind each man 1 there must be 100 pounds of sup plies for each few days, it shows what a tremendous drain on the re sources of the country there is. England is fighting on 37 fronts." said Mr. Trefz. "carrying on a line longer than any nation, not barring Germany, and it has never yet been broken. Our soldiers will give a good account of themselves over there. They have seen the things of which I have told you and they know that there are lots of worse things than death on Flanders field. What 1 am worried about is that we may not keep faith with them." He spoke of bow homesick some of the boys are and said, "it doesn't make a hit of difference how you feel, send that hot a bit of sunlight along the tip of 5°ur pen. He said that the boys in variably ask. "What are the folks at fcoti.e doing to back us up?" And ,te added.

This hutletin is issued by Hie Soldier's Misguidance j League in order that tiie s ldier may do his sightseeing in an efficient man ner New York is located 14 miles front Camp Merritt and can he reached in a few moments by aero plane. As no aeroplanes are oper ating the soldiers must make use of nearly every other means of locomo tion known to man and by a combina tion of them arrive in two hours or more. Take an auto bus to Tenafiy a trolley to Palisade Heights and a 1 ferry boat across to Manhattan Is land. From there you may take either a surface car or a subway down town. If you take the subway j you don't see anything. If you take tiie surface ear you don't get any where. (Jet off Columbus circle and walk along Broadway until you rnmf to tiie Battery, where it would be best to stop walking south. The least we can allow for this walk is 30 min utes. during which the Wool worth building. Herald Square and 197 tliea tecs—New York contains more thea ters per square yard than Portland. Ore., and Vancouver. Wash., con’.* bined—will have been passed. Walk briskly up and across (lie Brooklyn bridge to Brooklyn, returning by the Manhattan bridge, taking net more j than one hour.

The next hour can best be spent in seeing the Ghetto, China town and the tenement district, and in order to enjoy this part of the trip I to the full it should he done in a lei p sure'y manner. We will next allow an hour for the viewing of Central Park, including the Art Museum none of which should he missed. An j evening at the theater is essential and in order to make the most of it 1 tiie soldier should select three plays j and witness one net of each. The re j mainder of the evening, wffiich is sev eral hours longer than in Sycamore. 111., should be spent at the Midnight i Frolic and three or more restaurants From this time until daylight will be the best opportunity to see the parts of tiie city which are most congested in tiie day time. See Wall Street, the Bowery and the department stores. By the time you have accomplished this it will be daylight and you can vjsit the Municipal building, several of the prominent churches, a movie or two and possibly a ride on the elevated. An hour should he devoted to Fifth avenue, during which time the soldier will have to extend him self somewhat in order to cover tiie entire length of this interesting street. By the time you have finished this it will be time to think of returning and the soldier had best to start in good season in order to include a visit to Columbia University and Grant's Tomb on the way to the ferry.

Saturday noon they had 50 cords cut and piled, with the roads all swamped to the piles. They had worked five days and the number of hoys on the job averaged 30 each day with a 6-hour working day. Milton Bangs of Augusta is in charge of the cutting operations, seeing that the proper trees are taken down, the wood cut the right length, and piled in good shape to measure. The hoys are paid $2 per cord and work in squads of foul- or five, and each hoy's share of the money is determined by tlie number of hours he spends with his squad. The wood is to lie hauled immediately to a yard where it will be sawed into stove wood lengths, split and piled ready for market, the Junior Volunteers doing the work with the aid of a power saw. Besides giving the boys a splendid hardening for their work on the farms, this wood will do somebody a lot of good the coming winter, as woo secure and wood will be necessarily scarce. Another 50 cords is to be cut on the present wood lot and then a start is to he made in cutting more on an island owned by the State Y M. C. A. in Lake Cob bosseecontee. This island is known as the Hodgdon Island and is located near the Lower Sister.

Tibbetts, who has held the office of shipping commissioner in Rockland for 35 years, was reminded this week of the wonderful evolution which has taken place in seamen's wages. When he assumed the office the going wages were $1S a month, and there was no scarcity of seameh. Today vessel-owners are paying as high as $75 a month, and consider themselves highly fortunate if they qan obtain men at all.

Internal conditions at home, and de.sperate Germany have at last forced Austria into a drive.'' How lone it will Inst is problematical, of course but we fled ntisfaction In the indication that the Austrians are likely to surrender at every oppor tunity and on small excuse, else how should the Italians capture 3000 prisoners In defensive action at the very outset? Ve have been l»d to believe for months that Austria is the home nest of traged; Every hour must add to it. I.ong ago 11^ dual nation was bankrupt.

High and low in Austria-Hungary now realize th.v ;f they win for Germany, they are hut welding their own bonds to Prusaianlsm. Naturally, Germany has forced Austria's hand, hoping to draw all possible allied forces from the west ern front to save Italy, while Hinden hurg brings every last man from the east to hurl into the grinding ma chine In France. Strength to the arm of brave Italy! On her depends. In great measure, the term o? punishment of civiliza tion. The Lesson of Calvary. "The fool heth seid in hie heart, ^here is no God.' At the Augusta House. Augusta, last Saturday afternoon. Gerhard M. Dahl, vice-president of the Chase National Bank of New York, ad. dressed the Maine Bankers Associa tion. He said that German lust for power had become a philosophy rath er than a military doctrine, and that Germany says of the rest of the world: "Poor fools! They do not know that treaties, honorable con duct, International law. God Himself, are dead." And yet the prophecies are being fulfilled, great promises are being fulfilled, and Judgments are being fulfilled. Indeed may we not declare that God it fulfilling the sacrifice of Hie Son in this tremendous crisis in world sffairt? Have men ever given thought as they are thinking today? And has not the lesson of Calvary grown with the lonn years sinre the Supreme Sacrifice" Was It not necessary' that He should die. for just and unjust, as men are dying today- for high ideals and In His name" To give all for the sake of others, to give all for high principles, is the evidence of hove that links God with man. Peace will come after tribulations, but Think not that I nm comp to send peace on the Karth: I came not to send pence hut n sword." And again The I.nrd romelh with ten thousands f Hi« saints to ex ecute judgment upon AIX. and to convince nil that me ungodly among them ot their uncodh deets which the' have committed, and of all thetr hard speeches which ungodlx sinners hat e spoken against Him In a Inlet n"te to the editor Mon da' rrmrn.nc we And Grni days to lie living’" Indeed men s mind ate being opened until the' perceive that thesp are great days." >n Sundm we sat in a Hible class and heard i brief discussion of the International Sundaj School lesson. A question f the teacher brought it out 'Could Christ have saved Him te|t from the fore the tell. Christ went "over the top" for us that we might see more than the temporal power which He might have attained and to prove that giving is n’talntng for he rose again a Su preme Demonstration of Hope to those of the Karth.

1 flc* la ■welling the hearts of human ity. We are learning how to die that we may live. Wa are giving in agony that those who come after us I may receive the lesson cf Sacrifice and the power of Love. We have searched and tried "our ways,” and are turning "again to the Lord.” How many times in twenty cen turies has it seemed to the world (advancing, civilized, thinking human beings) that the Supreme Sacrifice was in vain; that Christ might as well have exercised the power that was in Him—if He could save others why not Himself?—to come down from the cross to lead a great wave of temporal power? Germany seems to have made a philosophy of that, if J we agree with Mr. Dahl. Complacency, Mr. Dahl pointed out. characterized the American attitude up to April, 1917, when America Joined the Allies in democracy. The awakening is the present phase. The third, soon to come, will mean the triumph of the right. "Complacency,” said Mr. Dahl, "has been our national vice. It was complacency which led to our being unprepared, which led a well known man to exclaim that a million men would spring to arms over night. It is the vice of democracy. It was re sponsible for the sickly, sentimental ditty, I didn't Raise My Hoy to He a Soldier.' If the western front is the frontier of freedom today, it was the frontier of freedom in 1914, but we were too complacent to realize it." I Further along Mr. Dahl said: "I am i unable to find language strong enough to characterize that attitude of mind which thanks God for our in ability to be a decisive factor at a, lime when the gallant French and Hritish have their backs to the wall hammering at the doors of civil^za- tion. "The tjpe of mind which is proud of our unpreparedness is the type of self-deluded person who never faces the realities of life. He is responsi ble for our unpreparedness, and rath er than face his mistakes like a man he takes refuge in mawkish senti mentality and in an assumption of superior virtue. He is the same per- i son who was telling us that pre- paredness would bring war and un preparedness peace. As a prophet he is a failure. The rest of us will fight for a principle while a pacifist will not." “But we will prove,” added Mr Dahl, "that God still lives and that He has not forgotten how to nunish. We must prove it by first recognizing and admitting our mistakes. Democ- I racy is inherently more inefficient than autocracy. We must fare the facts. Our problem is to mould our people of different races into one na- l (ion with a unity of ideals and a worship of efficiency. IVe must travel through the valley of com 1 placency to the heights of efficiency, i This Is a war of attrition—of man i power and morale. We must organ- ize our people to he the most ef ficient nation on the face of the globe.” i There, again, is the evidence of the lesson of Calvary on the business 1 man of today. We are reaching the triumph with tearful slowness and I suffering that we have earned, but we are buoyed up by the memory of the cry that has echoed and re echoed In all the years; "He is risen! 1 He is risen! Lives He now no more to die:" Today our nation's best young men, physically and mentally, are coming forward by hundreds of thousands to offer themselves for reasons entirely outside of themselves, and for the sake of others. At home we are at last awakening to the need of sacri fice of our ruts of life, our furroughs ,of indulgence. "We shall understand better as the casualty lists come in., for every drop of blood shed on the battlefield is a call to sanctification at home. Out of this harvest of woe is being thrashed and winnowed the grain of fulfilled purposes of the Supreme Authority. COMING EVENTS June 13-16—Colby College Commence ment week.

Maine Gossip The Service Flag. Dear old flag in the window there. Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer; Child of Old Glory, born with a star— Oh, what a wonderful flag you are! Blue is jour star in its field of white. Dipped in the red that was born of tight. Born of the v blood that our forbears shed To raise jour mother—The Flag—o'er head. And now you’ve come in this frenzied dav. To speak from a window—to speak and say: "I am the voice of a soldier son, Gone, to be gone till the victory's won. "I am the flag of The Service, sir: The flag of his mother—I speak for her Who stands by my window and waits and fears. But hides from the others her unwept tears. ••I am the flag of the wives who wait For the safe return of a martial mate— A mate gone forth where the war god thrives. To save from sacrifice other men s lives. ■'1 am the flag of the sweethearts true: Tlie often unthought of—the sisters, too. I am the flag of a mother's son, And won't come home till the victory s won!” Dear little flag in the window there Hung with a tear and a woman's praver; Child of Old Glory, bom with a star— Oh. what a wonderful flag you are! —William Herschell in the Indianapolis News. A number of prominent weir fish ermen of Washington and Waldo counties met Thursday at Maehias and took steps for organizing the herring fishermen of Maine. Another meeting will he held Thursdnjy June 20 in Bangor and a permanent or ganization will he formed. Rangor police are looking for a man who deliberately drove his auto mobile through a funeral procession at Mt. Hope cemetery, narrowly avoiding a collision.

He went out in his power boat the other daj’ on his own trip and came hack with a 116-poiind halibut which brought him 122.60.

Up to within a year or so the "iron cross” has been one of the most cher ished possessions of the past camp commanders of the Sons of Veterans. Today it stands as a thing abhorred, in name at any rate, and Wednesday, June 12, at the opening session of the 36th annual encampment of the di vision at I’ortland. steps were taken to have the next session of the Com mander-in-Chief not only wipe out the term "iron cross” as the title of the past commander's badge but also to change the design of the emblem which, although it bears no re semblance to the hated iron cross of Germany is held to he. from its name, a most undesirable thing. The move ment was recently started by Shiloh Camp of the Division of Illinois, and at the session of Wednesday. W. F. McKinnon of Bangor proposed that the same action should be taken by the Maine Division putting it up to the Commander-in-Chief to order the change. The new badge proposed is much the same as that of the Grand Army of the Republic, a five-pointed star of bronze with the exception that it bears on its face the Sons of Vet erans’ emblem, and also that it is suspended by one point instead of from two points as the Grand Army stars are suspended. There was no debate on the subject but a unani mous vote by rising endorsed the proposition of Mr. McKinnon. The Argyle correspondent of the Old Town Enterprise thus writes i f a slippery matter: The writer was out calling one day recently, when the man of the house took her to the wood shed to see what Zo years ago was an every-day oc currence, hut what today we never hear of or sec. It was a barrel of soft soap made in the old-fashioned way with hard wood ashes, water and crease. It was made by a man T9 years of age. He says his hand has not lost its cunning as he can make soap as well as he could 50 years ago. Joseph. 4-year-old son of Matthew Arsenault of the West side, Rath, is recovering from a critieal operation for a dislocated vertabrae. It, was caused by another boy who. in nis play, threw the little fellow with such force that the vertabrae was dislocated. When he was picked up by others his head drooped and he was unable to raise it to Its normal position. Dr. Marston, the physician summoned to the case, called Dr. E. G. Abbott, Portland, who performed the operation Thursday by which the little fellow's back bone was restored to its normal condition. The father was notified by the surgeon of the critical nature of the operation be fore it was performed but he was willing to take the chance, great as it was. of restored health to a life of suffering and torment. A picture of the Kaiser has led to the resignation of Miss Josephine Knight, teacher of the Hope Corner school, and is the most exciting topic there just now. Rumors that Miss Knight was a German sympathizer were in circulation early in the term, bur Mrs. Emma J. Kimball, the su pervisor, could find no foundation ’or them. The storm broke Wednesday, when the teacher brought forth a picture showing the rulers of Europe, the Kaiser among them. Thej pupils showed their disapproval by cutting the Kaiser's eyes out of the picture, and were sternly reprimanded by Miss Knight for defacing her personal property, which, she asserts. was be ing used in connection with French WALK ERECT AT EIGHTY!

Editor Kennebec Journal: I have no grouch this time, but I do think that as a people we are very inconsiderate. Last winter we were told that the brewers used 3,000,000 i tons of coal, and we complained be cause we had to sit or work bundled i up in overcoat and mittens, contract ing colds and doctors' bills instead of being thankful for coats and doctors —and couldn't we go to bed when our work was completed? And could not our husbands go to the saloons where there was both ligh. and heat? Then some of us have been unkind enough to complain because we must lighten our belts and the children must not pat so many lunches, when we knew the booze men ..ceded 52, 000,000 bushels of grain—else how. could they brew the cup that "biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder”?

I Pool operations were very much cur-! tailed with severe results'In tobaccos1 and other issues dominated by profes sional interests. Sumatra made an ex- treme reversal of 45 and allied shares 1 to 2 points. Bros- gains o 10 and 12 points in Gen- oral Cigars and Royal Dutch Oil were the only noteworthy features and these were largely relinquished in the gen- eral selling of the last hour. United States Steel fell hack 2 5-S points after its fractional rise and kin-J dred industrials and equipments forfeit-; ed early advances of 1 to 3 points. Rails and shippings displayed some nnimaPon and strength during the fore- i noon, the latter rising 1} to 3 points in connection with reports of an early an nouncement of the conclusion of the Mercantile Marine deal, but both groups' became distinctly heavy before the close. Sales amounted to 550.000 shares i Hires made further improvement de spite the Austrian drive against Italy, i but remittances to Spain and other neu tral countries eased slightly. OutRtand-' ing Hiberty issues were heavy, especial ly tirst 4s. and the general pst was ir regular Total sales, par value, aggre- 1 gated $5,423,000. DM United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Cook Delivers Stir ring Address Monday Evening at Unitarian Church Judge Harold K. Cook's address at the Unitarian church Monday even ing upon the necessity of lood con servation as a means o: winning the war was a splendid and powerful presentation ol the subject. Judge Cook was given the closest attention by an audience that filled the audi torium of the church at this meeting on the day set aside by the State Food Administration as "State-Wide Food Conservation Day.” The meet ing was held under the auspices of the local committee on food conser vation. The speaker of the evening was in troduced by Lewis A. Burleigh, chairman of the committee, who in his brief talk stated that in the fam ily food pledge campaign of Octo ber, 1917, there were 277-' family en rollments from Augusta with hut 10 refusals at the completion of the work of the local committee and these refusals may not have been fin al as the people may have mailed the pledges later directly to the State food director at Orono. Mr. Bur leigh pointed out that a democracy doesn't slide into war with the ease of a war machine in the making 60 years and stated that we may be forced to enact drastic food legisla tion in America before we get through but it will be to reach the small min ority and not the large majority of the people. Mrs. Frank L. Dutton officiated as organist to the great enjoyment of ill present and Charles F. Bilodeau md J. Frank Bilodeau gave a stirring rendition of the Marseillaise. Miss Blanche Webster, who has oad experience as a government food demonstrator, gave a -.ery practical and much appreciated talk on the subject of food conservation, war foods and their preparation. Thirty three exhibits of war foods prepared by Augusta housewives were shown and the recipes tor making them were distributed. At the conclusion of the meeting the foods were auc tioned off, Norman L. Eassett acting as auctioneer, and' the proceeds will be used as a fund to deiray expenses of futurue similar meetings. Judge Cook's Address Judge Cook in his address stated that at this time people are asking themselves the question, not ‘How can I do my bit?’ hut How can I do mv uttermost?' He stated that in put ting out our energy we shold not al low it to be diffused and that it is not the immensity but the intensity that wil help—the ability to concen trate on this great effort. He said that the words ‘‘strenuous” and "effi ciency” have had their turn, and that if he were to launch and one word it would be the word “concentration.” And in this connection he showed that we all must concentrate upon the tug thing of the present time, the winning of the war. for what would other matters such as National Erohibiti in and Woman Suffrage amount to if Germany should win the war. Judge Cook read to his audience the message from National Food Admin istrator Hoover to the people of Maine, which was published in Mon day's Journal. And the speaker quoted the following extracts from the message of Dr. Leon S. Merrill of Orono. Federal Food administrator for Maine, to show that the saving made by the American people had not been in vain: Wheat: The surplus of the 1917 18 harvest based on normal consum tion was 20,000,000 bushels. Up to the time of the advent of the 1918 harvest, if the present rate of saving by the American people continues, we will be able to deliver 150.000,000 bushels of wheat. By this remark able effort, we will have satisfied the Allies in their most pressing needs. The Food Administration's esti mate of the position on the first of June indicated a total available sup ply until the next harvest, including the grain which will be available from the. farms, in the country and ter minal elevators, and mill elevators, of about 56,000.000 bushels. Of this thirty million bushels must be ex ported before new wheat is available for export if we arc to maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our Army and the Allies. That leaves about 26,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption for the next two months. Normal American consumption is something over 40,00(1,000 bushels a month, so that the most liberal con sumption at homo Would be only one third of normal. Meal-Pork: "Careful analysis .f tile figures in regard to hogs indicates ihat we were five to seven million hogs short at the period when the conservation program was started with the American people. Tin- aver age export of hog products per moil a was roughly 35 million pounds before ’be European war. In the Iasi half f the year 1917, because of the decrease! in tne number of hogs in the coun try. it fell below the somewhat ,;i creased level due to war demands, in March. 1918, we were exporting 300 million pounds per month and can see1 our way clear, with the present sav ing and production, to go forward t tnis rate for an indefinite period. Wej have row in storage one billion, on hundred million pounds of pork pro ducts which provide an ample reserve for a steady flow to meet the allied demands as wi ll as the demands of (his country. Tills represents wholly! the voluntary conservation of this! country, as it does not rettect the! t resent increase in the liog popula tion. Beef; "Before the war, we were ex porting two to three million pounds; of beef monthly. After the Euro Pean war began, there was an in-; crease of 23 million pounds per month. Now. we are exporting 130 1 million pounds of beef per month and i with the continuation of conservation and production, there is no reason for anticipating other than a contin-; nation of this vital program ^Judge c'nok laid special emphasis on toe necessity of conserving wheat, speaking of the small sacrice on the j ['art of the people of the country in doing this thing as compared with the great sacrifice the boys are making in leaving the comforts of home to fight over there. Announcement was made that un der the direction of the local comm:t tee on food conservation another meeting of this nature will be neld within the next two weeks. AUGUSTA POLLS LIGHT PRIMARY VOTE The scarcity of contests resulted in an exceptionally light vote in the primary elections Monday in Augusta. This was particularly true of* the Democratic vote, with hut one contest—that for sheriff Hon. Guy P. Gannett, a can didate for the State senatorship nomina tion. received almost the entire support of the Republicans who voted. Walter M. Sanborn. Augusta's candidate for the Republican county attorney nomination, was also very strong, receiving 632 votes, while Ellsworth E. Peacock, his nearest rival, polled but 76. Sheriff E. D. Harwood distanced Henry E. Emerv i for the shrievalty nomination with a’ vote of 636 against 122. Oscar H. An- 1 derson received a plurality of the votes' cast for the candidates for county com missioner nomination.

The scene was not more than a day's ride from the Capital City toward the setting sun and the time was not long ago. A young Augustan, well versed in the ways of wild things, had told his mother than when a wild bird or beast visited a place and ^returned for another visit, that visit was very likelyr to be at almost the exact time of day of the previous visit. There fore. when a relative came in and re ported that a big hawk had been vis iting at the farm and had made away with a chicken in Us claws, the lady remembered what her son had told her and repeated it to her guest, with the advice that the latter should tell her husband to watch for the hawk, with a gun handy and kill the marauder. The visitor on her returrTTtC^her •home, did tell her hue bend; wh» laughed but apparently thought lightly of the idea. But the more he thought of it, the more reasonable the idea seemed to him and finally, although forking in a field some dis tance from the house, when the hour of the hawk's previous visit drew near, he hiked for the house and at the appointed hour was securely hid den in good sight and shooting dis tance of the scene of Sir Hawk's dep redations. True to the son’s and the mother’s story, the hawk at precisely the same hour and almost minute appeared and selected his chicken for this day’s meal. The man was, convinced _but said he, to himself: “I’ll fix you. vou old villian.” So he levelled and aimed his trusty gun, got a good bead on the hawk and fired—BANG! hTow listen for the echo and the point where you may smile, even laugh aloud, for, because, namely, to wit: He missed the hawk and killed the chicken! Tf vou doubt any yarn, you are referred to Mrs. «arry H. Lee, 1 whose son Kenneth told her oi xnt 1 habits of the hawk, or perhaps Mei rili T. Lee, who has a fine farm out on Western avenue, could give some of the details, but don’t let on that we told you. leCROSS Report Augusta Chap ter Complete to Date Is Sent to Director of Bureau of De velopment, Together with Report of Branches and Auxiliaries The report of the Augusta Chapter of the Red Cross with its branches and auxiliaries was sent recently to Paul AT.

ROBINSON’S CIRCUS OLDEST IN WORLD The oldest circus in the world—and the best today—is coming to Augusta, i Saturday. June 29, to present two per- j formances and a street parade, the 1 equal of which was never seen here before. This is the John Robinson j I Circus. It is on its 93d annual tour of tlie American continent. For many j years 'the circus did not visit the East, the territory of the West. Can I ad a and Mexico furnishing its rang- 1 ing grounds. The John Robinson Circus is the evolution of a diminutive show’ that started long before the Civil War. It kept pace with the times, however. 1 and today it is larger and grander than ever before. When circuses first started to tour America, the John 1 j Robinson Circus was the college from I which circus folk graduated. Being the first in the field it invented nearly jail the odd equipment which makes! moving, daily, a possibility. The John Robinson Circus has al- i ways prided itself on its menagerie, I land today it carries three herds of elephants and the grandest collection j of strange and wild animals in Amer- i ica. The performance is presented by the pick of the circus world.
