MORE FIRST CLASS
BOXING, CITY HAIL.,
WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS

The sport fans Of Augusta and nearby
towns will have an opportunity of seeing
two Of the best welterweights of Ameri-
ca perform here Wednesday night March
Is, when wild Bill" Fleming of Old
Town. Me-. undefeated champion welter-
weight Of America, meets Patsy Delucca
of Boston. THE fighting Italian Of the
West End"
1t would be next to impossible to get
together two boys who are more evenly
matched than Fleming and Delucca.
Fleming needs no Introduction to the
fans of Augusta. Everybody who has
ever seen Fleming perform knows what
to expect when he steps into the ring.
Just few words about Delucca: He has
already fought Fleming twice to a draw
and In their last appearance at Lewiston
they drew nearly 1900 people, the largest
crowd at boxing show for several years.
since their last argument Delucca has
been hurting challenges at Fleming and
several clubs have tried to rematch them
but could not make satisfactory arrange
ments. Mr.. Slosberg has worked hard to
get these boys together and the fans
should show that they appreciate his en-
deavors to give good clean boxing shows
here and turn out in full force for next
Wednesdays bout.
For the sem-final Young Poo1er of
Bangor Y. NJ. c. A. has been secured to
meet kid Sullivan. 1t isn't polite in
pugiistic etiquette to thumb his nose at
his opponent while in the ring Can he
do it? Well. We will wait, till Wedres-
day night to see.
The preliminary will be between Red
MCGOWAN, the Bob Fitzsimmons'' of
Gardiner, and Young Corbin of Bangor
and Hallowell. Every body remembers the
whirlwind go they had at the last show,
but MCGOWAN is developing knockout
punch and AYERS that at the next show
he will put Corbin away. There will also
be good preliminary between two loca,
boys
!. The show starts at SIS promptly ana
will be run through in the same clean
style and manner that the previous ones
have been. Tickets are now on sale at
Perry's restaurant, and those who wish
good reserved seat should phone to
Perrys early.
The prices are the same-50c, 75c ana
Il for ringside. Cars in all directions
after the bout and through in time for
train going west.

telephone numbers ending in two and
three ciphers some misunderstanding
has arisen on just how they should be
given. The correct way is to say them
just as one would read from a paper,
viz: "One thousand" 1.-TWO hundred
etc. They should not be pronounced
''one- oh oh" or in any other way
than the natural way to speak them.
Numbers ending in one cipher should
be pronounced eight digit separately.
as "Seven-two-o or Five six oh, -
not Seven twenty" or Five sixty"

HOW TO Be slim

II you are too fat and want to
reduce your weight Is or 20 pounds,
don't starve and weaken your sys-
tenn, or think you must always be
laughed at on account Of your fat,
but go to B. E. Bither. Augusta.
Me, c. H. Beane, Gardiner, Me. or
any good druggist. and get a box
of Oil Of Korein capsules, take one
after each meal and one before re-
firing at night.
Weigh yourself once a week and
note what a pleasant and reliable
method this Is for removing super
fluous fat from any part of the
body.
It costs little, Is absolutely harm
less and a weeks trial should con-
vince anyone that it is unneces-
sary to be burdened with even a
single pound Of unsightly fat.

this building just vacated by our boys
who have proceeded to the front in pro-
lection of the flag, have every reason to
return thanks as we note the great pro-
gress Of this movement in which we are
all interested.
While we have had many problems to
solve let us not turn our attention to
that which disturbed in the last four
years, but rather consider the problems
after they have been solved and rejoice
that from Kittery to Fort Kent the
Farmers Union has raised its banner and
beneath its folds the farmers of Maine
are marching to victory.
So that we may appreciate the situation
to it's fullest extent we must go back ir
the history of the movement and briefly
trace its progress up to the present time
and then return thanks to those to whom
it is due.
First 1t is with a greatful feeling that
we remember the Hon. j. P. Buckley Of
Commissioner of Agriculture in 1911-1912
1t was Mr.. Buckley who opened the dool
and made possible this great movement
that has extended all over our State, ant
as the years pass we will more deeply ap
preciate that which was made possible BY
Mr.. Buckley, ard when the future histor,
of the Farmers Union of Maine Is writ
ten, Mr.. Buckley will be recognized as tn,
founder Of the movement.

A Few Notes

r. O. Brewster Of Portland, candidate
for representative to the Maine Legiis-
lature. passed Sunday in camp as the
guest of his brother. Sergeant Brews-
ter of A Company from Dexter.
Some lively scenes were enacted at
the muster field Monday for the bene-
fit of a movie" man who was on the
grounds making pictures Of real action
in the lives of our young soldiers. One
of the scenes portrayed the hot oven,"
and the volunteers who scrambled un-
der the spread legs of their laughing
comrades arose and ruefully rubbed
their neither extremities declaring that
they were glad that such pictures were
not made every day In the week.
The two large tents at the north Of
the grounds occupied in past years by
the Y NJ. c. A. were utilized Monday
as examination rooms, and with their
istruments, and lettered oculists' cards
they presented much the same appear
ance as a physicians office.
Lawrence b. Halves. a graduate Of
the Springfield Y. NJ c. A. training
school, is in charge of the camp. He
will remain with the regiment until 1t
is discharged from federal service; in
other word, he VIII go wherever the
soldiers GO The Y NJ c. A. will fol-
low the troops to the front, just as on
1000 miles Of trenches in Europe the
Y. NJ c. A. is ministering to the So
cial and religious needs of the SOL
ders.
The hospital detail from Monday
noon to Tuesday consisted of the fol-
lowing men: Sergt. Flagg and PriVates
Kelley, Nolin and Mcdonald.
Two public telephone booths have
been installed in a room near the post
exchange The number Of one is 1926
and of the other, $500.
One of the members OF Company +
recently purchased his discharge from

matters so we'll he enlisted In the mi.
litia only to be met by the call to ac-
tive service. He responded promptly
like the other members of the company,
accepting his luck without complaint.
