NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS
OF AUGUSTA.

The Augusta Water District has a
large list of places where water is al
lowed to run during the winter months
TO prevent freezing.
The water which is wasted costs the
district a considerable sums each day
to pump.
By this you must not feel that you
are getting something for nothing
from the water district. 1t is all the
takers in the city Of Augusta who are
paying for this waste. Every citizen
should know that this enormous waste
of water has great deal to do with
high rates and should help the district
decrease it's consumption which will
tend toward lower rates.
If you have property where it has
been the custom to allow the water
to run to waste, we ask you to take
steps to protect your water pipes from
frost, either by boxing, providing un-
derground shut-offs, or IN any way
most suitable to the place.
In the winter of 1914-5 thorough in
spection of the city will be made and
The district will enforce its rules with
out discrimination. In any case where
the water Is allowed to run to prevent
freezing, 1t will at once be shut off
or the supply metered.
We are advising you thus early to
give you ample time to loo kafter and
protevt all your water pipes.
When you have completed this work,
will you kindly notify the office.

Commerce Commission.

THE power of this commission was
at first very SMALL" said Mrs. Hamlin,
but it gradually increased until now
the commission is allowed to declare
rates to the railroads. The railroads
must show good reasons to this COM
mission if they wish to make any in
crease in rates
big business is now divided be-
tween trusts, corporations and rail-
roads," she said. Then she pointed out
to her audience of ladies the difference
between trusts and big business, show
ing that trusts tend to kill competition,
while big business outlives compeu-
tion because it is fixed upon broad
basis. She explained that because of
the methods of these trusts the feder-
al government was obliged to look into
! them and as a result of this investiga-
! ton now we have the Sherman Anti
| trust law.
In carrying out the provisions of
this law" said Mrs. Hamlin, THE
Standard Oil Co. was first attacked.
and next the American Tobacco Co."
and taking the American Tobacco Co.
as fair example of trust Mrs.
Hamlin showed how this company kept
sessions until at last it had control of
147 companies eneircling the world, and
mad killed competition. Mrs, Hamlin
then showed how the law was enforced
upon this company and in place of this
great company there are now IL small
er companies, bringing back competi-
ton in this line.
The system of interlocking director
ates was then made clear by Mrs.
Hamlin In a very interesting manner
she told how great bankers are often
on as many as 80 boards representing
many different lines of business. she
showed that the interests of these men
were common, that they were bent only
on making money and looked little to
the interests of the common people.
Mrs Hamlins lecture Tuesday after
noon upon this great subject was made
clear by frequent Illustrations and
proved to be one of the most interest
ing of her course. This lecture cOnciud-
ed her course nthe city this winter
and after she had finished speaking
tea was served.

Mrs. Han,lin Delivers Closing Lecture
Tuesday at Library Hall.

From the year 1855 to the present
day the industries of our country have
gone forward at anenormous rate"
said Mrs. Morrill, Hamlin in commerce
ing her lecture Tuesday in Library hall
upon Industrial Conditfons-the Rights
of the Railroad versus the Rights of
the Peoplethe People" She pointed out
the fact that the farmers after the
war found themselves in 81 bad fix for
so many of them owned stock in rail-
roads, which were managed by off,
Gals living In the large cities and car
ing nothing for the interests of the
rural people. And she showed that by
the united action on the part of these
farmers through their Grange and
their representatives in the. Legisla-
ture the railroads were at last made to
believe that the public was their mas
ter. from this coming the Interstate

Witness was asked to draw diagram
of the rooms of the house in which
Mrs. Bishop lived. Witness admitted
calling at the Bishop house occasion
ally. Could not tell how many letters
he had received from Mrs. Bishop.
Witness had offered to give plaintiff
a certain sum of money for a set
tlement," as Mrs. Bishop termed it.
This concluded the testimony of the
defence. Mr.. Peacock then recalled
the plaintiff and both sides closed the
case.
Attorney Maher argued for the de-
fence. He argued very forcibly, re-
viewing the case and presenting it to
the jury in clear, forcible manner.
There is not one single bit of evil
dence in this case that shows that this
man Lovejoy ever had promised this
woman that he would marry her; there
is no evidence that he ever gave her
a single present; he did not even give
her the rent. Does this show that
he intended to take this woman as his
bride? If it does, it's the strangest
wooing courtship that i ever heard OF,
shouted the defendants attorney. is
there single piece of testimony CIV
en- that shows. gentlemen, that this
defendant even tried to win the hand
of this German girl?"
Mr.. Peacock followed, arguing the
case for the plaintiff. His argument
was not long but was to the point and
put forth very ably. 1t was brilliant
piece of oratory on Mr.. Peacoclz's part.
"This poor German girl did not
once for a moment believe that this
man was wicked enough to cast her
aside and set her adrift in this world,
after the promise he had made her.
Attorney Peacock in the course of his
argument read letters written by the
plaintiff to the defendant that were OF
a type significant of love in its fullest
sense, during which the plaintiff broke
down and wept.
Judge Spear delivered his charge
and court adjourned until $50 this
morning, at which time the case will
be given to the jury.

Madame Rose, the well-known ac-
tress who played on one of the leading
vaudeville circuits the past winter and
who is especially noted for her long,
beautiful hair, in a recent interview
in Chicago. made the following state
ment: ANY lady or gentleman can
promote the growth of their hair and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple recipe which they can mix
at home. To a half pint of water add
/ OF. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and 4 2. Of glycerine.
Apply to the scalp two or three times
week with the finger tips. This is
not only the finest hair grower I have
ever known, but it prevents the hair
from falling out, removes dandruff
and scalp humors. darkens streaked,
faded gray hair and makes it soft and
glossy. The ingredients can be pur-
chased at any drug store at very little
cost."-Adv.

It is probable that if Augusta sucker
fishermen were so disposed they might
fat up their bank accounts to quite an
extent by catching these fish and ship
ping them to the New York markets,
where the fish are known as mullets
and are very popular with the foreign
population of that city. Down on the
Cathance river at Bowdoinham sucker
fishing is carried on as a business and
a ready market in New York is found
for all the fish sent to that city, where
they retail during the winter months
at from 25 to 2S cents per pound. 1t
is said that the fishery at Bowdoin-
ham and vicinity is playing out, but
from all indications there are plenty
of the fish in the Kennebec river in the
vicinity of Augusta.

A lady who lives on Green street
writes the Journal that she does not
think that there will be many English
sparrows left in that vicinity this
spring because of a larger bird that
has been. killing them off during the
winter months and is still at it. She
states that it has been her custom for
six or seven years to keep a place on
top of the piazza clear of snow dur
ing the winter and sprinkle cracked
corn there for the sparroWs, ana
while early in the winter there were
as many sparrows as usual they soon
began to grow less in number, ana
it was not long before she found out
the trouble to be due to bird which
she calls hawk but which is prob
ably a shrike. She says that this bird
comes every day and some times two
or three times daily. and every time
he comes he kills a sparrow, the body
Of which she finds on the ground
where the shrike drops it. She fur
ther states that the bird is so tame
or hungry that he will come right up
to the windows and doors after the
sparrows, the places where the latter
are now building their nests.
