father. Joseph N. Smith, has been
making every effort to find him, Po-
lice Of all the large cities are keeping
n sharp eye out for the boy. They
have a description sent from Mai.
Pullman's Office.
Evelyn Owens, scarcely s feet tall

at the Alberta Apartment House, near
Eighth and d streets southeast, to go
to a movie last Thursday night. She

dogged continuation have wrecked the
fond plan of the Tcuton high command
to rest in the West this winter and,
when spring came. to throw the huge
Austro-German forces from Italy and
Russia against the Franco British
American armies.
There will be no rest this winter
is the message Byng's men and guns
are delivering every hour OF the day
and night. 1t looks more and more as
if the Armageddon il to be fought in
snow. somewhere between the North
Sea and the Vosges.
This was the bloodiest Sabbath In
the West since Verdun. The carnage
began at dawn. after a night of earth
shaking gunfire. German reserves,
hustled into Cambria from north and
south, in the darkness of the night
were flung into the fray. They clashed
with the English and Scottish and
Welsh attackers in and around Bour-
lon Wood and village.
Like n SkIpper's Bridge.
The dominating hill in Bourbon Wood
is to the British what a bridge is 10
a ships captain. From il they can
survey the course before them. En-
placed upon it, their guns can clear
their way, and Byng can see his
ship through to Cambria. To the
Teutons it is the last bastion in this
section of their "impregnable" line.
The slaughter that took place on
that hill today was correspondinGly
fierce. The results reported a s night
fell were, for the British, the most
favorable since the drive began. The
British war office in its bulletins en-
phasizes the stubbornnes5 of the Teu-
ton resistance. as If to impress upon
the public mind that it is not an
excursion that is going on here, but
one of the really great battles OF tbs
war.
Throughout the day. as in the pre-
vious days except the first. the bat
ties fortunes swayed whimsically
from one side to the other, but the
end saw the British decidedly hold
ing the upper hand.
Cavalry Again Afoot.
For the moment, dashing cavalry
charges have been discontinued. The
Teutons. recovered from the initial
blow, have arrayed a powerful line
OF guns to meet the attacks. and the
labyrinth of dugout fortresses dotting
the Teuton front are reducing the test
once more to one between guns and
guns. infantry and infantry. SO Gen.
Byng's horsemen have dismounted
and are fighting side by side with
their comrades. showing the same
valor and tenacity that won them
so much glory I'm the early stage OF
the Cambria drive.

Daily it gains numbers of fresh re-

slight notifications.
To the British moderates, Clemen-
ceau's reference to a League OF Ma

pointment. They applauded his decla-

Concerning Pleasure Travel.

The reduction in pleasure travel on
railways will be urged by the Railroad
War Board through.a campaign of ad-
vertistng. There is no desire on the
part OF the roads to diminish neces-
sary travel. but unnecessary travel
makes huge demands on rolling stock,
train crews and trackage. Although
the railroads have cut their passenger
equipment and stopped many of their
trains. passenger travel still is in
creasng
1t was said in official circles that
the operating committee would hardly
recommend. as rumored, that some
railroads devote their lines exclusively
to freight, leaving passenger work to
parallel systems. This change would
not be judicious. 1t was asserted.
The Railroad War Board has recon1-
mended that more than 500 articles be
embargoed in transportation. CHASING
them as "nonessentials." The Fuel
Administration also is considering an
embargo on the use of coal and coke
in the manufacture of these nonessen-
tials.

You Come.
Today:

that Tomorrow never comes"-but
don't you believe it. 1t will be here
as soon as the clock ticks out today.
Few of us know what will happen
to us tomorrow-so few of US plan
ahead or think of the tomorrow-or
the tomorrows to follow.
There are so many things we
might do better if we could but plan
to do them. For instance in shop
ping.
in a few weeks Christmas will be
here and the stores will be crowded
and clerks will be tired and service
will be difficult.
Yet it is in your power to abate
this-and it is simple. Just shop
early-today, for instance.
We suffer along with others in this
rush of the seasons. Clerks have
their limitations and when they
grow weary, store service suffers.
You lose out because you do not
get proper attention. We lose out
because you lose out. So please
help us to be good to each other.
There is no greater Joy in the
world than is being good to each
other. We will try to do our "bit," so
please try to do yours.
Today (Monday), we will be in
position to introduce to your feet
shoes that you might well be proud
of.
So come in and see us early in the
day-before the rush begins, before
the selection lessons, before service
is made difficult by the crowd we ex-
pect.
This sale will be sale of surprises
for there will be bargains, the like
ofwhich you have never seen before.
On the second hoor-our main
Aoor-there will be women's shoes
valued at from $3.45 to S7.65 that
cannot be duplicated elsewhere In
quality and price.
The men, too, will have a few bar
gains to consider at from S3.95 to
&.95-real sure enough bargains.
On the third floor Buster Brown
and all the family of boys shoes will
greet you at unheard of prices. You
will save enough in shoes here to buy
bread and sugar for a week.
And to those who come first there
Will be sale women's choice rub
bers, all small sizes. AS all Washing
ton women have small pedal extrem-
tiles, we look for rush for these.

AGRICULTURE
Six Important Measures Give Full and
Very Free Discussion

The committee on agriculture had
six important measures to consider on
Thursday afternoon, that of the most
importance being the bill relative to
the sale of fertilizer.
Representative Barnes of Houlton
appeared for the bill, which amends
the present law so as to require that
all fertilizers sold in Maine shall be &C
companied by a statement showing the
sources of nitrogen.
The opposition speakers were N. N.
Wilbur of the Portland Rendering Co.,
Portland; w. B. Kendall, Sagadahoc
Fertilizer Co, Bowdoinham; H. n.
Morrison, Morrison Bros. Fertilizer
Co, Bangor. Messrs. Wilson and Phin-
ney of the American Agricultural Fer
tilizer Co. were present and watched
the proceedings but took no part.
The contention of the opposition was
that the bill imposed a hardship upon
the fertilizer companies, as it would re-
quire a detailed tag statement attach
ed to each bag of fertilizer.
Representative Bussabarger of Luz
bee appeared in favor of 10 cent
bounty on crows in Washington coun-
ty. 1t was pointed out that the word
ing of the bill was ambiguous, as it
left the matter apparently optional
with the local municipal officers, stat
ing that they may" instead of shall"
pay the bounty provided by the bill.
F. l.. Hutchinson of Dexter opposed the
bill, stating that the crow was of bene-
fit to the farmers, rather than an in
/ jury, destroying insect pests in large
quantities.
Senator Davies of Cumberland ap-
peared in favor of the bill creating a
deputy commissioner of agriculture.
The bill was strongly opposed by For
mer Commissioner of Agriculture VIM.
T. Guptill Of Topsham, who saw poll
tics in it and claimed that the present
administration, instead of taking the
department of agriculture out of pol
tiles was putting more politics into it.
I Representative Hart of Holden APP
peared for the bill which would exempt
poultry from the provisions Of the law
in relation to payment of damages
done by wild animals or dogs. Mr.. Hart
complained that the term poultry"
had come to be very widely interpreted
and had 50 increased the claims under
this act that it worked a hardship up
on the towns.
/ William T. Guptill of Topsham op-
posed any change in the present law,
as did also Rep. Coffin of Freeport.
Representative Barnes Of Houlton
favored an appropriation of $4,000 for
scientific experiments in farming in
Aroostool county. Mr.. Barnes explain
ed that there was great need of such
work in his county for the develop
mcnt Of all kinds of seeds with spe
cial reference to oats and potatoes. No
one appeared in opposition.
| A. NJ G. Soule, chief of the Bureau
of Inspection, department of agricul-
ture, appeared in favor of a $1,000 APP

showing for what purposes the work
was needed and how the department

BY punching hits in two different
innings, the Leland Giants were able
to shove over scores enough TO win
yesterdays game with the Alma Re

With revised lineup, the Repub-
lies started out like a world beaten.
and in the second inning, with two
down, three hits came in rapid sue
cession scoring two runs. Uptigraph
started the rally with a single to
right Allen laced one to center and
Toner startled the fans by rapping
another in the same spot, both Upti-
graph and Allen scoring. Steele end
ed it by fly TO left.
In the fourth Grodick yielded his
first hits to the Giants. With one
down, he walked Winston. Jennings
was safe on an error. Lyons doubled
scoring Winston and Beckwith scor-
ed Jennings and Lyons with single
TO left.
In the seventh, Jones opened with
a double. Hill scored him with a
single. Green walked, and both scor-
ed on jennings hit.
