National Newspaper Display Week.

From Maine to California, this week,
the merchants in retail business are
devoting extensive displays to products
nationally advertised. Augusta lead
ing business stores are falling in line
with the movement and keeping up
the extensive general publicity with
their stores.
This should be a significant week to
the public as 1t shows those stores
which are alive to the demands of the
people. The stores which handle ma
tionally advertised articles are direct
representatives of the manufacturers.
That they are proud to advertise this
fact and display their products is evil
denced by the displays that are being
made.
No doubt National Newspaper Dis
play Week will become a permanent
merchandising event in the retail
fields.
The journal, for its part, is glad to
cooperate with such an extensive
movement to promote the good will
and mutual advantage of manufactur-
er and retailer.
There never were such opportunities
for advertisers as now.
Peoples wants are none the less and
none the less insistent because of the
war.
And on account of fiuctuating prices
they are going to shop with more care.
They are going to scan advertising
more closely than ever and the first
place they are going to look for it is in
the daily newspaper.

against them was a true one. They de-
MED however that they were hoboes,
and explained that they were merely
out of employment and were seeking
for it. They had been up in the potato
districts of Aroostook. and while Nc
Graw and Crowley were bound for
Boston Govang was on his way to
Gardiner to get job in one of the

The stories which float down this
way occasionally from Northern Maine,
to the effect that the cartridges are so
plenty up there that the hunters go
after them in automobiles and shoot
the birds by the roadside without
getting out of the auto don't have so
very much on the stories of partridge
hunting out on the Winthrop line of
the street railway, for out there the
cartridges are so plenty that they are
occasionally picked up right beside the
car track. If any proof of this state
ment is required 1t might be said that
Conductor Storer Dudley did the trick
no later than Tuesdoy afternoon. The
car of which he had charge was on its
way from Winthrop to Augusta and
as it was passing Granite Hill, Mr..
Dudley. noticing partridge beside
the track, stopped the car and drop
ping from the running board, picked
the bird up and brought it home.

A place that should be looked after
before the snow comes is the sidewalk
in front Of the Z. w. Church store OF
the east side Of Water street, as well
as the entrance to the stairway just
south of that store, the walk at that
point being of so smooth a surface as
to make it very slippery just as soon
as it is covered with snow. Many peo-
pie had falls on it last winter and some
narrowly escaped serious injury. The
surface Of a few squares of the grano-
lithic walk which were laid when the
sidewalk was repaired is much
smoother than that of the rest of the
walk and if these few squares could be
roughSned up a bit it would prove a
decided change for the better.
