no apprehension was entertained respect
ing the wisdom of the move made by the
exchange, IT may be said that every pre-
caution is insure its success will be
tatken.
The fact that It has not been deemed
necessary to form money pool" to be
used as a backstop against heavy liqui-
dation was in itself regarded as an in
dication that offerings would find ready
absorption. Another safeguard will be
found in the level of prices at which all
stocks over SIS may be sold.
Further demand for exchange on Ber-
lin was the sole feature of the market
for foreign remittanees, obligations to
sight drafts at go Dealers in exchange
were practically unanimous in the belief
that the recent sensational movement in
stocks was due to German selling of our
stocks in this market together with the
probability of some loans here for these
same interests.
Private advices from Washington sug-
gested an early decision in the eastern
freight rate case now under consideration
by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Continued ease marked the local money
situation, calls and time loans being
made at the prevailing low rates. Inte-

lips and Enoch Bridges of Wilton are
at Shiloh pond trapping out the beav-
er which have been doing quite lot
of damage at times by filling up the
screen and cutting trees.
While on a hunting trip recently,
William Lamson of Millinocket, was
sitting down calmly eating his dinner
with his gun unfortunately just out of
reach. He picked UP doughnut and
before eating it, held ii up looking
through the hole. What was his sur
prise when he saw within twenty feet
of him two large bears sitting up on
their launches. Before ne could get to
his gun the bears We're gone. After
chasing them for four or five miles,
Mr.. Lamson gave up. He has decided
however. that the next time he is out

EAST WINTHROP

The Mothers meeting of the East Win
throp Thursday Club which was held on
last Thursday was more of a success than
those having IL In charge had dared to
hope. Many mothers outside the Club ac-
cepted their invitations and were present,
so at the opening of the meeting by the
president. Mrs. Harriet Kilbreth. nearly
every seat was filled. Mrs Mable Rob-
bins Whiting conducted the program in
her usual able and graceful manner.
First came Garland of Verse" by the
members. after which Mrs. Maude West
talked for a few moments on the advisa-
bility of "Parent-Teachers' department
in the Club and the good which she felt
might be accomplished by the same. Mrs.
Clara Mun1ford gave a very interesting
talk upon "Old Fashioned Mothers anil
their influence upon the present genera
ton. Then Mrs. Whiting, who always en-
joys surprising people. very rrettily intro
duced Mrs. J. H. Pinkham Of Winthrop.
who had very graciously consented to
come to us with an original paper, Mod
ern Mothers and Their Problems" Mrs.
Pinkham's pleasing personality lends a
sweet charm to any occasion. and her
paper was a gem most thoroughly en-
ioyed by all. Mrs. Whiting concluded her
program by reading a selection from
Sonny by Ruth McEnery Stuart. which
was much enjoyed and brought forth
much merriment.
Dainty refreshments were served by the
hostesses, Mrs. Lillian Foster and Mrs
Carrie Bisbee. Surely the success of our
first Mothers meeting will long be re-
membered with pleasure by all present.

Washington, Dec. S.-Lessons drawn
from the European war were discussed
before the House military and naval
committees today by Brig. Gen. Gro
zier, chief of ordnance of the army,
and Rear Admiral Badger of the navy
general staff.
Gen. Crozier sad that the United
States never would have use for guns
similar to the great howitzers with
which the Germans demolished Belgi-
ums forts and asserted that the Am
erican field guns were as good as any
in the world.
Admiral Badger told the naval COM
mittee that ship for ship the United
States navy is equal to, if not better
than that Of Germany or any nation"
Answering questions. the Admiral gave
his idea of why the British navy is
content to keep the German fleet bot
tied up instead of forcing an engage
ment.
Refuse Gardeners Request
While these committees were at
work, the majority members of the
rules committee were deciding not to
grant the request of Rep. Gardner Of
Massachusetts for a hearing on his
resolution to direct special inquiry
into the preparedness of the United
States for war. Chairman Henry later
addressed letter to Rep. Gardner, ad-
vising him that his proper committee
for hearing would be before the reg
ularly constituted committees iof the
House which ARE now in daily ses-
sion considering matters pertaining to
the military and naval strength of the

TAIN THEM.

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 77-For
the first time in it's history. the ma
tonal drainage congress. which holds
Its third annual session in Savannah.
April 1925. viii be made an event
for every one. regardless OF any par
ticular interest IN the subject Of the
meeting
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and the
CaroIinas ara expected TO have sew
eral hundred delegates at the meet
Ing. including their governors. COM
missioners Of agriculture. county com
nissioners, and other public men OF
prominence who are interested in the
great question Of retaining IOwIands
and making them available for soien-
tifc agriculture.
Governors Expected.
Governors Slaton, of Georgia;
Trammen. Of Florida; Blease, OF
South Carolina; O'NeiI, Of Alabama,
and Craig, of North Carolina. are to
be among the guests of honor at the
congress, and participate in the dis
cussions. Vice President Marshall is
expected from the national capital
for one or more sessions of the con-
partment officials win take part in
the deliberations. Noted engineers
Will also be in attendance from all
parts OF the country. The congress
has q membership OF over 700, all
men Of large affairs.
Inasmuch as there are many mil
lions of acres Of land IN the South

South Atlantic state. the greatest In
terest in the congress- and its work
will doubtless be in the belt of states

Jects are already under way in North

preaching congress is expected to
lead to widespread discussion and ae-
ton along this line in the other states

and review OF the garrison and mill
tary concert by the Fort band, one
of the leading military bands OF the
country, a fish dinner, and n floral
parade that promises to rival the
noted pageants in that tine on the
Pacific slope. Other popular fea-
lures are also being planned for those
visitors to whom the actual work of
the congress lie OF minor interest.
Vice President Marshall Snd the va
rioSe state governors present will
