In the Afternoon

Had a day been ordered especially
for the occasion it could not have been
more ideal than the afternoon turned
out to be. Soon after the dinner hour,
and long before the scheduled hour for
the racing, the people began to pour
in by the hundreds. Each car to the
grounds on the special service sched-
ule by the Central Maine Power Co,
was crowded, and 200 automobiles lin
ed the fence below the grandstand. The
attendance for the afternoon given
out at the treasurers office was up
wards of 10000, a record breaking
crowd for the second day What a
hustle and hustle there was all the rest
of the day. The subway and Midway
wer literally damned with people, who
jostled each other good naturedly.
The side shows and the eating
booths did an enormous business, and
the police department found it had
its hands full in directing and keep
ing the crowds in order. There were
no disturbances of any consequence.
The grandstand was well filled, and
the racing program pulled off in spite
of the prevailing conditions in the
forenoon was even better than the pre-
vious day and that is saying a good
deal All the vaudeville acts that had
appeared Tuesday afternoon and eve
ming again delighted the spectators
and the Waterville military band gave
short concerts in addition to the play
ing for the vaudeville.
Baseball Game
Old King Sol had helped things along
wonderfully In the few hours that he
had been looking the grounds over,
and 1t was found possible after dis
tributing little sawdust around in
the more muddy places to stage the
second series of games between Tacon-
net and Madison for the purse of $3.50.
The game again went 10 innings, and
the weakening of the Taconnet pitcher,
Stobie, in the 10th, enabled the visi-
tors to run in six runs and take the
victory. to 3. The third and final
game will be played at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.
Larger crowds than ever watched
the steer pulling teams on the fur
tner END or the enclosure, and the ex-
inhibition of coach and heavy draft
horses also brought to the front some
very fine specimens, that We'd very
closely for first honors. The dancing
paViiion, the Ferris wheel, the merry
go-round and some Of the other diver
sions on the subway were swamped
win patrons all afternoon. 1t was just
surging, happy crowd from one end
OF the ground to the other.
Ihe evening was a repetition of the
night before. except that a grand dis
play OF fireworks was added. The

My Dear Sir:-You say in answer to
one correspondent that Picture No.

that the answer Is one of those four
words? Is it allowable for different
members of the family to write in the
answers in the Solution Blank Book?
I notice in the key 1t says look in
towns under Oxford county and the
next look in towns in oxford county.
Now does under mean in Oxford coun-

No. 46 is correctly keyed; puzzle it

When there was cessation, the very
stiffness after such a din was indie
scribably impressive. e.. ,+-.
I'VE felt we were in the very path
of the war. Liege was only few
miles distant. We were in touch with
the soldiers constantly. On the very
first day we were in Dolhain they
assured US we would not be delayed.
They all seemed confident there
would be no resistance from Belgium.
We're only marching through Bel
gium,' one strapping big German

"On the second day we saw the
full horrors of war with the bringing
through Dolhain of the grst wound

in automobiles. Meanwhile, the vii
lage was left with only a scant hum

same day far up in the sky we saw
a French aeroplane. The guard in
Dolhain signaIed the machine, and
not receiving a return, opened fire

"The monopIane was far above
range and so far as we could see was
uninjured by the hundreds of bullets
fired at it. This was the only aerial
craft we saw, but German soldiers
told me later that several had been
maneuvering overhead and that their
shooting had brought one down.
With the arrival of the wounded,
we began to hear terrible stories Of
the cruelty of the Belgian peasants
to wounded and helpless Germans.
We saw a captain, two other officers
and fifteen men brought in who said
they were sleeping In a house when
they were suddenly attacked by the
villagers.

AMERICAN GIRLS FROM WAR ZONE PRAISE
CONDUCT OF GERMAN SOLDIERS

SCOry OF Ll6 night Oh three AMERICAN
girls from the German war zone was
received by the London Bureau of
the United Press today in a delayed
letter from Karl H. Won Wiegand,
Berlin correspondent of the United
Press: 81.
BY KARL H. Won WIEGAND.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Three American girls-the Misses
Marion Park and Katherine Lord of
Boston and Miss Ida Langdon of FL
mira, N. went through the thick
of the German war zone just as the
Fatherland was striking its first blow
through Belgium.
Their stories, as told me on train
en- route to Rotterdam, were full of
praise for the courtesy Of German
of1cialdom, civil and military, in the
first trying days of the war.
1--WE were in the Bavarian Alps
when we learned war was imminent"
said Miss Park I'VE started for Lon-f
don via Cologne at once. When we
reached Cologne it was apparent that
war was only matter Of hours.
Everywhere the greatest activity
was apparent and the population was
feverish with excitement. From Co
logne we reached the little village of
Dolhain, on the Belgian frontier be-
tween Verviers and and AK la Chap |
pelle. The mobilization orders came
at that hour, and all trains were turn
ed over to the military.
I'VE had to disembark. There was
no hotel at DoIhain, so we got peas
ant who had little home in the town |
to take us in.
1.-The next morning we walked |
down the road to the railroad juno
ton and met what seemed to us to |
be the entire German army advanc-
ing on Belgium. Throughout the en-
tire day thousands of men swung
through the little village. That night |
we began to hear the roar Of cannons
as the Germans opened their attack |

CONVICTS WERE WHIPPED
BECAUSE THEY WOULD
NOT LEND GUARDS MONEY

Atlanta, Feb 3.-The grand jury be-
gan yesterday afternoon and is contin-
uing today a searching investigation
to the alleged cruelty and unsanitary
management of the Fulton county con.
Wet camps.
Captain T, J. Donaldson, who has
had charge of the camps until he was
denoted to a secondary position at a
meeting of the board few weeks ago.
defends the condition of the camps and
declares that whippings are recognized
as necessary by the state prison board,
and that the Fulton county camps have
been run in accordance with state law
Witnesses who have been on the
chaingangs in Fulton county are tell,
ing stories of almost unbelievable
cruelty, petty graft and general rot
tenness.
The charge is now made that in
some instances the convicts were ac-
tually logged because they refused to
lend" to the convict guards money
which had been sent to the prisoners
from home.
1t is charged that one man named
Will Clemens, to whom the guards took
a dislike, was whipped and tortured so
frequently that he became nearly
crazy and one night cut his fingers off
il the hope that it would put him in
the hospital
Another convict named Sam, weak
minded to begin with, was flogged IN
til he became a raving idiot, according
to the stories told today
There is a third story about a boy
who was whipped so often that he fir
ally decided to commit suicide, and
killed himself by eating soap.
A guard who was cited by an indig-
nant white convict to the printed pris-
on rules is alleged to have answered

SAVANNAH PLAYERS

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 3-(Special)--
President Armstrong, of the SavGn-
nah baseball club, has announced that
already II contracts have been signei
and returned and that others are COM
ing in on each train 1t is believed
that the majority of the players who
are bound by acceptance terms will
deliver their contracts within short
time. Theoutlook for winning league
this year is very encouraging, regard
less Of the fact that the club lost some
Of it's best men who wered rated by
other leagues.
The greatest trouble this season
will be in the pitching force. The
loss of Robertson and Adams was
great blow to the club, but it is be-
lieved that this difficulty will b.
solved. Most teams, however, look
go:d on paper, and it is not until the
players get into action that their real
worth can be determined.

Most folks forget that the kidneys,

also we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe headaches,
rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid

bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney re-
gion, get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine

KEEPING UP The MILK FLOW
And KEEPING down The COST
BY Andrew NJ sou President Georgia College Agriculture

What should COW be fed? 1t is i'm
possible for COW to make rich milk
and elaborate it in large quantities I'M
less she is properly fed An analysis
of milk shows that it consists largely
of water, hence the need of succulent
foods, either grass or substitutes there
for. Milk also contains large quanti-
ties of protein. If the COW is not fed
abundantly of food containing high
per cent. OF this element, there will be
a great reduction in milk flow and
finally drying up.
There are many food stuffs from
which adequate protein may be obtain
ed, but the farmer should, of course,
seek the cheapest kind that will serve
the purpose. Is it wheat bran, oats,
shorts, cotton seed meal or other
food?
In the South there certainly could
be no better nor more economical
source of protein than cotton seed

meal. 1t should, Of course, be fed in
connection with grass or siIage, but in
the absence Of these it can be fed
with hulls or mixed hay. The writer
has known cows to be fed on cotton
seed meal silage, hulls and good pas
ture grass for years and maintain the
best condition and produce a large
amount Of milk rich in butter fat.
There are thousands of farmers In
Georgia who maintain COWS on their
lots or on their farms who are failing
to secure the best returns from them,
though they are fed expensive rations
They are often not feeding enough pro
TEN, or If they are, ii is in too ex-
pensive form to prove profitable. II
only one concentrate is to be fed, II
is infinitely better to feed cotton seed
meal to COW at the rate of from 4
to pounds per 1,000-pound live weight
when she is giving two gallons Of milk
per day.

piled from the middle of February to
the first of March, and for North Geor-
gia from the middle to the last of
March.
Applied at the times mentioned to
the cereal crops, the plants will make
the largest use of the fertilizers at a
time when most needed following the
winter, and win bring about larger
yields than when applied at any other
time. The custom which some follow
of putting the nitrate of soda on just
as the plant is maturing is mistake
and great waste.
An average of about fifty pounds of
aitrate of soda applied to cereals at
the right time will prove well worth
while on many of the soil types oftthe
state.

Convicted of Bigamy.

After sensational trial, Oliver was
convicted and sentenced for four years
on bigamy charge, it being proven
that Harding had a wife Oliver con-
tended sturdily, and does to this day,
that he was not Harding, but admitted
that Harding was his haff-brother. He
said Harding was somewhere in South
America, but he could not locate his
exact whereabouts. The Ohio prison
frecords showed that Harding was some
two inches taller that Oliver, bu:,
nevertheless, he was convicted In this
state as Harding.
When he had completed his sentence
in Georgia, Oliver was turned over to
, the Mississippi authorities. Now, it
seems, he has satisfied the authorities
down there that he is in reality not
Harding.
Oliver was as gay, confident and
a. debonair as in the palmist days Of
his career in south Georgia. He had
quite long talk while in Atlanta a day
or two ago with Mr.. Ulm, Gov Slaton's
secretary, and said he was going back
to Smithville and other points in that
section to get back on his feet" and
! prove to the people that he was all
right and not crook.
Just what sort of reception oliver
will receive down that way remains t.
