pionship of the State seems certain
Portland High has fast pair of for
wards who seem to be shooting baskets
at will off from most of the opposing
backs, but when they ran up against
the Cony guards the Misses Leighton
and Chernowsky) not one did they
shoot or did they get anywhere near
the basket. The Cony twins are un-
doubtedly the fastest pair of girl
guards i'll the State.

Now that the month of February has
arrived. white perch fishermen will
commence to improve their time. The
law did not go off from this kind of
fish until the first day Of February, and
consequently pickerel was about the
only palatable fish that could be taken
from the ponds. Long pond in Somer-
vile is a favorite fishing grounds for
white perch, and it is likely that Au-
gusta fishermen will be striking in that
direction when the opportunity pre-
sents itself.

Think of your grocer and his clerks

Think of your grocer and his clerks
who labor from A. NJ. to 6 p. M.
when you order your supplies in frag-
ments, at times requiring the grocers
team to call at some houses from two
to four and even six times a day on
exceptional occasions. There has
been talk of limiting the calls to not
over two times a day, would it not
be merciful to the beast as well as the
men. Think it over you housekeep-
ers and see if reform is not needed
and let 1t be voluntary.

Fishermen were out in force Sunday
on a number of ponds in the vicinity
Of Augusta but it has not been learn
ed that any heavy catches were made.
One Augusta gentleman who was at
Webber pond, Vassalboro, said that
there were about so fishermen there
in the morning, but the most of them
gave it up in the afternoon on ac-
count of the wind, which was very
heavy and blew the snow down the
pond in such clouds that fishing was
anything but pleasure Among the
successful Augusta fishermen were
Morris Appleton and Harry Briggs,
who landed a small string of pickerel.

It is said that the surface of Cob
bosseecontee offers just at present one
of the finest tracks for automobile
racing to be found anywhere, the
southern beaches not excepted. Sat
urday's storm covered the ice with a
coating of snow to the depth of per-
haps two inches, and this freezing
gave a surface as smooth as floor
and so hard that footprints made no
impression upon it. Sunday some of
the boys in the vicinity of the lake
had their bikes out for a sprint and
enjoyed some Of the best wheeling
that they had ever seen. There is a
nine-mile course down the lake and it
is wonder that some of Augustus
winter drivers Of automobiles don't go
out and enjoy the fun while the op
portunity offers.
