education. sanitation, and the common
good, and to suppress graft and other
forms of political corruption. All of
which sounds familiar to American ears.
For the first time these organizations
of the Chinese best people are to be ac-
lively enlisted in carrying out the famine
relief measures planned by the relief
committee at Shanghai. This is of es-
peeial interest in the United States be-
cause the relief funds now being raised
by the Red Cross will be distributed
through the Shanghai Committee. Inc
famine relief fund will be largely used in
employing the famine sufferers to re-
construct their o%sn dykes and roads
which have been destroyed by floods
Thus the idle and despairing people viii
he enabled to earn living while wait
ing for another harvest and will at the
same time be helping to restore their
country to normal conditions. One of the
most serious problems in relief operations
attending other famines has been the
pauperizing effect upon the population OF
receiving support during prolonged pc
RODS of idleness. The plan now TO be
adopted promises to reduce this democrat
izing result Mr.. &. d Jameson, the
American Red Cross engineer who has
recently Travelled extensively through the
districts which have suffered much from
famines in late years. reports that the
people, finding crops usually failure
and relief certain show a natural incli-
nation to abandon their lands and turn
to beggary. This tendency it is hoped
now to check by means of system OF
re1et based upon honest work.
The present unsettled political condi-
tions in China make it impossible for the
Chinese Government to contribute lib
orally to the relief funds. For this rea-
SON it becomes the more imperative that
the United states, always China's friend.
shall respond TO the need generously.
Famine conditions are so desperate that
any description of them seems almost in
credible. Mr.. Jameson writes of process
sions of gaunt, starving people wander
ing aimlesSlv along the roads, falling and
dying in the mud when they can go no
further. Day after day he passed dead
bodies of men, women and children lying
where they had fallen. And the famine
must continue until summer before new
crops can be harvested. Nearly 3,oc0,0Go
persons live in these famine districts.

Pettingill's, 3D.
Lumber Co., 10.

The Augusta Lumber Co. basket
ball team was defeated again, Mon
day evening, by the Pettingills Cor
ner boys in a one-sided game the fin
al score of which was 81 to 10. This
is the third successive defeat, which
the Lumber Co. team has suffered,
having now been beaten by every
team in the league.
The game was not up to the usual
standard of the City League games.
but some especially fast work was
done by the Pettingilrs Corner aggre-
cation ana~py their showing. Monday
evening, it now looks as if the other
teams in the league have got to hustle
to win the city championship from
them.
The Corner boys took the lead from
the start. and after the first few min
utes kept piling up the score on their
opponents so that it looked at one
time as if they would not stop long
enough to give the scorer time to keep
account of the number of goals made
The result of this game ties the
Pettingilrs Corner team. the Alumni
team and the All-Stars for first place
may be expected when the leading
teams play each other TO see which OF
hem shall maintain first place.
Captain Appleton of the Pettingilrs
Corner team did some brilliant goal
shooting, and played all around his
smaller opponent, Mayo of the losing
team. Macdonald of the winning
team also did some fine work, both in
shooting baskets and covering his

Mutt and jeff" Thursday Night,
Feb g.

The Mutt and jeff cartoons by
Bud Fisher running in hundreds of
newspapers throughout the country,
have the unique distinction of being
the first series of cartoons which have
actually interested grown-up folks as
much, if not more than the children.
One of the features of their success
can be described as producing the
maximum of fun by the minimum of
labor or effort. \ half dozen finland
strokes of the crayon, in the hands of
this clever artist, produce an effect
that makes people of two continents
laugh every day.
The play Mutt and JEFF is a mu-
steal comedy of unusual strength, re-
curing the services of more than a
half a hundred artists, including a
chorus of stunningly pretty girls. and
comes to the Opera house, Thursday
night. 1t is distinctly a laughing show,
and the acknowledged novelty of the
year. The production here will be
upon the same lavish scale that char
acterized its Globe theatre, Boston
rum and the entire original Bos-
ton cast is promised. In addition
to Roger Gray and Shorty De Witt,
the cast includes: L.ARis Kelso. Arthur
Alton, Henry A. Morey, Marshall Vim
, cent, Dave Miller, Charles Newton.
William Koud, Airline Boiling, Lillian
Goldsmith, Anita Arliss. Alice Gail

Freedom Before Arrest.

John Tremblay of Montreal Canada.
who is at the county Jail as a bound
over prisoner from Sagadahoc county,
had but a short space of freedom be-
fore falling into the clutches of the
law. TrembIay was liberated from the
State prison at Thomaston on Feb. 1,
where he had been serving years
sentence for obtaining money by false
pretences.
Twelve hours after his liberation he
was arrested in Bath for attempting
to pass a fraudulent check upon Coffin
Bros. of that city, in payment for a
suit of clothes valued at SIS. He was
bound over to the April term of court
in that county and was brought to the
Kennebec county jail for custody.

to do with the wreck of the Titanic steamship and the
