sented by Attorney Seth L. Garter Of

In the course OF the hearing il vas
learned that since the city filed its orig
inal petition. asking for attention TO the
crossing 10 the end that il be made safer
for the traffic which passes over it daily.
was fled with tie commission. the rail-
road has issued new orders to its train
men SO that trains now run between the
railway bridge and the depot at rate
Of speed not exceeding 10 miles per hour.
whereas they formerly travelled at %
miles ner hour. Also. an additional
whisIling signal has been placed upon
the bridge.
City Engineer Norcross showed that
under the former rate of speed the gate
tender had about il seconds from the
reached the crossing and that under the
present rate of speed the gate tender has
as much as So and $40 seconds IN which
10 drop the guards after he sights the
train.
Chief Hunt Of the Augusta fire depart
nlent told the commission how the Au-
gusta fire apparatus is compelled to
cross this section OF the railroad and ad-
vocated the placing of electric gong sig
nails at the crossing and the installation
of q red light signal at the top OF the
hill to warn the fire apparatus drivers
of the approach OF 4 train. Tire repre-
sentatives of the railroad believed that
these safeguards might ultimately prove
a menace in that should they fail to work
on occasion the apparatus would be trap
ned without warning 10 the inevitable
disaster OF the outfit
Testimony was also introduced to show
the volume OF traffic which crosses the
track on Bridge street daily. Inc com
mission gave no decision in the case at
the close of the hearing and Will report

NEXT COUNCIL MEETING
DECEMBER Is

In the matter of the accident on the
premises of the Grand Trunk Railway
system at Lewiston Junction. Nov. II,
resulting in the death Of George Jack
son. or a person unknown of about 20
Years. the Public Utilities Commission
reports that the dead body was found
on the track lying under a freight car
and that no one saw the accident or
knew anything about it. The man APP
parently had been stealing a ride or
was a trespasser on the tracks of the
railway system. The commission re-
ports that investigation failed to dis
close evidence of neglect or careless
ness either on the part of the railway
company or any of its employees.

Place the community on a sounder
moral and physical basis. -

How? By turning your backyard
into farm?
Los Angeles, Cal, has 5000 back
lot farms which are proving that the
cost of high living can be reduced,
materially, with their aid.
= The plan started with the school
gardens, and is steadily growing into
the good graces of the grown-ups.
The sponsors of the movement
take the stand that there should be
a garden for every child and a child
for every garden in every city and
town of the U. S. A.
To indicate the amount Of waste
land occupied by the proverbiaI back
lot, they have cited the fact that in
the city of Los Angeles alone there is
as much farming land per capita as
the whole of Belgium, seIf-support-
ing country, has for agricultural pur-
poses.
Though the plan originated as a
beautifying scheme, it has turned out
to be an economic one well worth the
consideration of any city.
Estimates of the value of city lot
crops, poultry and egg produce and
fruits run into millions annually.
About two hours a day is all the
time needed to plant and cultivate the
average size backyard.
Advocates of the backyard farm
maintain that it will mean bringing
the city man to know that the
ground about his house will feed his
family if properly treated =.
They point to the fact that nine
tenths of the home gardens in Los
Angeles were factors in reducing
the cost of living.

EATEEAOCNiNG CEMENT SHAVE
 S!j,DS,

We will begin manufacturing the lntcrl6cking Cement Slave Silo next week, and planters who are 3ntici- pating building Silos for this years crop should give us their orders now so that we may have the structure ready by. the. time their crops are ripe.
 The value of permanent SiIo is so apparent there is no argument to make as 10 the propriety of the in vestment, and while We do not desire to appear presumptuous and ask par don in assuming the right to state that there is no investment plan ter can make that will permantly en- nance the value of his property and at the same time yield Q profit of at least one hundred percent annually as the investment in a Cement Silo.
 We have cut our prices so that they accord with tse stringent finan- cial conditions of the country, as is evidenced by the fact that a atruc- ture of eighty five ton capacity Silo will cost the purchaser only $300 when finished. Larger ones of course will cost correspondingly more, based upcn cost of additional material re- quired and construction
 We have employed skilled me chanics from Des Moines, Iowa, the home of the lnterlocking Cement Slave Silo, who will have charge of the manufacturing of the material and construction of the Silos. Thus we assure our customers that each and every structure will be, perfect, and should stand forever without ad- ditional cost

WHEAT ADVANCES ON HEAVY SALES

 Provisions were weak with hogs. Packers seemed to favor the selling side.
 Reports that the Hessian flv had become menace in many more places than usual tended afterward to bring a sharp advance in wheat. Besides, it was said near the end of the day that export sales at the sea- board would reach 1,000,00G bushels. The close was strong, 2M3c above last night.
 Subsequently the corn market de- veloped firmness, owing to the late strength of wheat. The close was strong, 5-S03-4c net higher.
