ICE IN kENNEBEC.


The cold weather Of Monday night
rather put crimp in the navigation
of the upper Kennebec river for the
time being as the river was closed by
ice Tuesday morning at several points
between Augusta and Richmond. The
Purinton Bros. Co, which has the
barge Pickering coal laden at Bath,
received word yesterday morning that
the barge could not be towed to Au-
gusta on that day as there We're two
inches in the river at Richmond, but
it was hoped that it would be possible
to bring the barge up later in the
week. 1t was said yesterday that
there were two barges at different
points along the river that were wait t.
ing to be towed to sea, and that prob
ably strong effort would be made to
get them out before the ice forms too
heavily to be broken up by tug boats.

BRYAN COMING.

Americas Foremost Orator and Most
Talked About Private Citizen to
Lecture in City Hall Next Tuesday
Evening, Dec. q.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1917-11-28

William Jennings Bryan, who will
lecture III City hall next Tuesday eve
ming, Dec, 4. is the greatest lyceum at
traction in America today. tie draws
the biggest audiences and creates the
greatest enthusiasm Of any man now
before the public.
The authorities at Washington real
ize this and in order to reach great
mass Of citizens through his magnetic
personality have furnished Bryan
with material 70 use in his lecture
which cannot be obtained from any
other source.
Bryan is thrilling the thousands as
never before. There is no other man
ON the platform who can present the
old fundamentals Of life and impress
them so simply and strongly. God
good government, mother, home and
heaven take on a holier meaning after
one hears BrNan's lecture. His words
sink deep--people understand hini.
Whatever one may think of Mr..
Bryans former policies, everyone can
but admire his present attitude in
standing back Of the President. II
recent Chicago speech he said, ~lse-
fore our nation enters a war it is per-
fectly proper To discuss the wisdom Of
going to war, but the discussion is
closed when Congress acts. Anyone
who then criticzes the government is
a promoter Of anarchy and should be
treated as such. The quickest way to
end this war is the straight line that
pleads clear through it,"
The inquiries coming from all parts
Of Central Maine concerning Bryan's
Augusta engagement indicate that the
great Commoner will be greeted BY an
audience Of record breaking size. Seats

Roosevelt IS wrong when he says that

Gerard, formerly ambassador to Ber-
lin, in an address in the Academy of
Music, Brooklyn, tonight
I'VE have in this country Il few
American citizens OF German descent
who are in sympathy with Germany
and doing all they can to aid the
kaiser. Do you think they will be
better off with the Germans ruling
this country Was Benedict Arnold
better off after he became a traitor :?
we have come to the point where
everyone must declare himself for or

no half way course.
''On a train recently I met Miss
Mary Pickford. the actress. and she
told me that two of her patriotic film

PREMIUM LIST SOON
Plans Nearly Complete for TOpeka's
Big Poultry Show.

The premium list for the poultry
show to be held in Topeka December
II to p will be ready for the mails
the last of this week.
Members of the Topeka Poultry
Breeders association have found the
newspapers, merchants and business
men of the city ready to give them
every possible assistance to make the
show a success In addition TO paying
part of the actual expense of running
the show, they have contributed
enough prizes to make it possible 70
give over one hundred and fifty dollars
worth of valuable special prizes
The fact that the government food
administration is urging a greatly in
creased poultry production and in fact
has allotted a large sum of money to
promote interest in poultry raising,
has undoubtedly been a big boost to
the poultry industry
Following is quotation from Mr..
Hoover's appeal to the American Poul-
try association and to poultry breeders
I'VE are short of red meat Our
soldiers and our allies require more
than ever before
I'VE are advocating in every house
hold. every hotel and restaurant the
substitution of poultry for red meat
Increased production of poultry can
be effected much faster than beef
pork and mutton While we want in
crease in all the latter, we must have
a quick response in poultry products.
There is a great waste of poultry
feeds in every household and every
farm 1t requires little labor.
Cannot the poultry raisers of the
country help US by providing the in
creased supply we need ?"
The answer of the Topeka Poultry
Breeders association is. Yes They in
tend to do all in their power TO in
crease interest in poultry raising, and
the week of the show will see many
good lectures on poultry problems.

Courage to Fight.
Editor state Journal:

Editor state Journal:
Speaking of the tobacco users pro-
testing against demonstrations show
ing the injurious effect of tobacco, I
wish to protest in another way I
protest against holding a reformer up
to ridicule- As Doctor Poland sug
gested, what was he to do when the
boys challenged him to show what
nicotine will do2 Of course now he
could say, It do not dare show the
effects The tobacco users will not
allow that. They allow me to talk
all I please. for you will not remem-
Der my talk long, but if 1 should show
you the effects on some live animal
they would be Mortified They would
rather you should find out the effects
by using the drug yourselves"
I 90 not know Doctor Poland, but
admire the man for his courage. I
would not have the courage to spend
a night in the filth and among the
bed bugs of the city jail, unless it
were a necessity. If you would use
the valuable space in your paper hold
ing up the conditions in the city Jail

defending the poor tobacco users you
might better the conditions of many
