Only recently Americans heard in

ferrcd classification in tie draft was
killed in action. He had applied to
the draft board to be substituted for a
younger brother. whose wife was
very i'll and who probably would have
died had he gone to the front. and
the change was effected. He paid

knowledge that, besides serving his
country, he had kept 4 family intact

AN OPEN FORUM
A u ia Interested
and Fully Approves
Practical as Well as Educational
Value Of Lectures by National Au-
thorit;es, Followed by Discussion
Of Subjects, is Recognized

The Open Forum in Augusta bids
vital Importance in Augustus civic
life. Already there are indications
that the seating capacity of the Uni
versalist church will hardly be suf-
ficient to look out for the people who
will be there to hear Prof. Thomas
n. Carver of the chair of Politica,
Economy of Harvard talk on Pro
blems of Reconstruction"
If this were slated merely as a lee
ture. it would draw crowd and at
tract interest, of course, for tie SUBJ
iect is of topmost Importance to the
people of America today and the
speaker is an authority. This affair
will be more than a lecture howeve:
just as the Open Forum is beyond
the lecture course.
This difference between the Open
Forum and the lecture course lies
chiefly in the fact that after the
formal lecture is ended the speaker
will answer any reasonable and per-
tinent questions propounded by any
one in the audience. This is a fact
of immense practical value It
amounts almost to q consulting pri-
vilege with Americas leading ex-
perts on the livest topics of the day.
Next Sunday nights Open Forum
meeting should be of even greater
practical value than the average
Political Economy has developed
from its old status as a dry, musty
and highly theoretical subject
Along with the science of psychology
1t has been turned to immense prac-
teal use. Every school of business
now has it's course in political econ.

omy. Many of the big banks and
national business houses are retain
ing experts in political economy, in
order to have sound advice in fore
casting conditions. 1t is to the polit
zeal economist that we must look for
the soundest views on the practical
problems of reimbursement Better
than anyone else he should know
whether commodity prices and wages
are going up or down. whether money
is to be cheap or dear, whether times
are to be hard or good.
And note this value of the Open
Forum. If the speaker in his formal
lecture does not take up these points
the audience is privileged To ask
him questions about them. In this
way the talk can be directed into
channels of the livest interest and
the most vital Importance.
1t is because of the immense prac-
teal value of the open Forum. even
more than its educational and in
spirational value, that has made il
such a live force III the world today
because Oh Inc eNcellence OF tne
speaker secured for Sunday and be
cause of the extremely practica
nature of his subject, it is likely that
q large crowd Will attend the first
Open Forum meeting. The doors OF
the Universa,ist church will be oper
at 7 o'clock, at which time an organ
recital will begin. As soon as the
auditorium is filed the doors will be
closed and the speaker will begin Iii:
address.
No charge is made for seats but 6
collection will be taken up to help de.
fray the cost of bringing the speakers
to Augusta.

ferred on several candidates by the off,
ors of Sidney Grange.
Mrs. NJ w. Keller was in Augusta on
business last Saturday. Dec. Z.

days since, is still confined to the house
F. E. Cowan is doing his chores.
Rural Lodge, F. and A. NJ. will hold
it's regular meeting on Saturday eve

drive in Sidney the towns quota was
not quite reached. The committee will
canvass the town this week to raise the
balance if possible.
Leland II. Black has been hauling
potatoes to Oakland the past week.
Llewellyn Gray, who has been con-
fined to the house for some days. is
much improved and is able to attend to
his chores.
The Messalonskee began TO freeze
over some days ago but owing TO high
winds it was not fully closed in till
Monday night. Last year it closed for
good on Dec. s. The boys and girls are
hoping for Christmas skating this year.

Ply of fire wood at this time and will
yard it as coon as there is sufficient
snow.

ia BILE mill this winter. His wife will &C.
company him as usual.

hay as much as they hoped earlier in
the season. Prices i1 Boston are high
but it now costs 500 per ton to get it
pressed and $500 per ton freight and
with the cost Of hauling to the station
it surely makes a big hole in the
amount received.

Maximilian Denies Statement That Al- lies Would Annihilate Germany.

Amsterdam, July -Maximilian Hardin devotes practically the whole of today's Die Zukunft to proving that Chancellor von Hertling's charge against the allies that they want to annihilate Germany is untrue Har> den quotes President Wilson's Mount Vernon speech and A. J. Balf0ur's last Hous of Commons speech to show how bitter the entente nations ara against militarism, but that they are ready to give the German people A fair chance. He compares these speeches with those recently delivered either by the German chancellor or various junkers in the Prussian upper house, where the demand for unlimite annexations is continually heard He concludes by saying

 Heretofore the only combatant American troops were aviators, and the appearance of this large body of fighting men from the United States at the present moment has occasioned the greatest satisfaction.
 Maj. Gen. Eben Swift of the Amer ican Military Mission to Italy, was the first to greet the newly arrived Americans. He had already made ar engagements for their comfort. The Italians greeted them with enthusiasm and rejoiced at the. splendid physical conditions which the American sol diers showed. The Italians appeared greatly astonished when the overseas men immediately sought out a, bathing place and then started several games of baseball.

 This airplane passed over Ashdown Saturday afternoon going north It seemed to have followed the K c. s. tracks from Texarkana. Again Sun- day morning about 10 o'clock it again | passed over the city going south on its return from LockesDurg. A number of people heard the hum of the motors and looking up saw the plane. The pilot made turn over the centre of town and again headed south On reaching the southern part of town he came lower down so that the stars on the planes could be seen. This is the first plane known to have passed di- rectly this way, though short time ago one passed over Winthrop while making a record flight from Illinois through Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan- sas, Oklahoma and Texas to San An tonic. It made stops only at regular. aviation fields.
