For the coming Midwinter Fete in
Augusta, in February, it is suggested
that in connection with the Food Fair
in City hall. which of course would be
an entirely indoor attraction and of
no especially exciting or hilarious char
acter, an outdoor program for the nve
dave he nrovided of somewhat the
following nature.
Traces on the river or at the 1rot-
ting Park.
Knowing band concerts In the
street daily and early every evening
3.-Street Cabaret show by profess
sional clowns and carol singers.
4.-Day fireworks and fireworks and
red fire on the bridge each evening.
5.-Confetti throwing.
GA snow Igloo for the sale of Cot
fee and other hot drinks Qf there be
sufficient snow.
Parade of floats and trimmed
sleighs or automobiles
S.-An Eskimo squad for advertising
patrol.
9.-Crowning of Queen of the Carni-
val zone EVENING"
10.-Speciai vaudeville attractions at
theatres afternoons; free tickets given
by merchants to shoppers.
11.-"Elephant and Bear Parade.
12.-Old Colonial Street Crier Quartet
(Four Uncle Sans with bell ringing
and announcements)
The above is offered purely as sug-
gestivc and tentative proposition. In
the Capital City are thousands OF
bright minds that can readily con-
tribute ideas for the consideration of
the board of trade committee. In a
weeks time some sort of an official
program can be made ready and the
balance of the time, now only a few
weeks, may be utilized in preparation.
If Augusta is to give a week of en-
tartainment that will attract her neigh
bors in Central Maine, general interest
must be aroused and hard word done.
In the foregoing suggested program no
money is paid participants. save for
the professional carol singers and
clowns. OF these there should be at
least a dozen or fifteen women and
men.

House rotunda rests the blood-stained
flag eff the 21st Maine Regt. of Volun-
teers. The Journal man, one day this
week, met Captain J. T. Woodward of
Sidney, adjutant of the 21st and State
librarian during Governor Chamber
lains administration Adjt. Woodward,
referring to the blood stains on the

the blood of the color-bearer, Hadley P.
Dyer of Sidney, who, during a battle
of the Rebellion, while carrying the
flag, was struck by minie-ball which
passed through his wrist and later
another ball struck him higher up in
the same arm. The stains on the flag
are the result of these wounds. Color
bearer Dyer had the ann amputated

Mass. Official on Maine Ry.

An official of the Boston Elevated
Ry. system in Maine, not long ago,
said that he was greatly pleased with
the manner in which Names l.. A. &
w. R'y handled its transportation diff
ficulties In rush" hours there was
not nearly the congestion of travel and
overcrowding of cars, as occurred ON
his own system. He attributed much
of the greatly increased travel by
trolley road to the increase of fares
locally on the steam road.

Condition Precarious.

The American meat packing house
Situa ton and that Of consumers OF mea I
food products in this country are both
in condition more precarious than at
any. other time in our history" the re-
port stated. We are facing conditions
In the production OF meat food products
which would have been thought lmpos-
siole ten years ago The shortage OF
livestock, which has been impressed upon
us as packing house producers for sew
eral years, has been intensified during the
its normal rate. We have passed The
point where demand has overtaken pro-
ductions and We are now on a basis which
shows that demand exceeds the supply
OF meat food products 10 such an extent
that We have abnormally high prices Tor
meat food products.
The farmers are not furnishing nearly
sufficient number OF animals 20 keep
the packing houses in operation on any
thing like fun time, nd this results in
heavy losses. owing 10 lack OF volume of
business. And there seems TO be no
prospect OF relief Despite the higher
prices for livestock OF all kinds, statistics
show that the farmers not only are not
increasing their production OF meat food
animals, bat that such production Is de-
creasing a an appalling rate.
Among other causes Tor the shortage OF
meat, the report pointed out, were the
loss OF meat food animals through pre-
ventable diseases and the unthiniine
slaughter OF calves, and especially heifer
calves
The committee appointed to confer With
government officials regarding pure food
laws, in its report challenged the wisdom
OF the federal government debating that
ingredients shall be used in meat prod
ucts.
Our principal difficulty has been that
those In power know pra actically nothing
OF the actual conditions OF packing house
operation. We have been In the hands of
pable, well meaning scientists on one
hand and political office holders on the
other"

CHICAGO, Sept, 22-The responsibIiity
