shower bath, we are asking such mer
to send word to H. D. AacCosham o,
w. D. Vincent on or before Wednesday
evening, November 18th. There is nc
age limit, as men of sixty can play the
game almost as we'll as the boy in his
late teens. However, if there are enough
who would prefer basket ball to volley
ball night for this game will be set
apart for the younger men who desire
a more active game. In handing in your
name you should indicate which game
you prefer. As soon as the organization
is completed and the men have practiced
an invitation to the wives might be ex-
tended to cheer and encourage the ath-
letic efforts of the men.
This is a move toward making the
school more of community center and
making greater use Of plant that
stands idle great part of the time. If
you are interested in your own physical
good and mental efficiency hand in your
name at once.

Twenty-Seven Years
Of Accomplishment

IN August, 1887, the present publishers
bought the Kennebec Journal. The daily
circulation at that time was 1925 copies.
Here began the story of accomplish
ments. The retiring management had con-
tented itself with printing paper to fit the
circulation Of 1925 copies The new manage
ment Immediately installed the element of
growth by removing any limitation and
boldly set target which has since kept the
aim higher and ever higher. The experiment
Immediately justified ITSELF Slowly the cir
culation began to gain. Just run your finger
down the column at your left Nothing
phenomenal, nothing mushroom-like, but
steady, upward climb of over a quarter
century. Sometimes it seems to- drop
back; again it seems to stand STILL but such
periods have proved only breathing spells
for greater accomplishments.
In 1902 the rural routes came, and with
characteristic energy the journal set to &C.
curing the new territory. AS fast as Wash
lngton made new route, the Journal went
out and signed it up
