REQUEST ARMY TO
TAKE OVER AVER
Petition of Citizens Says Local Au-
thorities Are Not Able to
Run Town.

AVER, Mass, Sept. ga BODY of
citizens and merchants of the town
have drawn up and signed a petition
to the war department, in which they
request that the administration of the
town be taken over by the military au-
thorities. In the petition it is claimed
that there are two factions working
against each other in the administers
tion of its affairs. One is the old con
servative element which was against
the selection Of the eantonment site.
The other is composed of more progress
sive and enterprising business men who
are willing to do all in their power to
aid the military.
1t is further claimed that the rapid
growth of the town has created prob
lens which are far beyond the exccu.
tive abilities of the present govern
ment, and that the quarantine against
the soldiers of Camp Devens is entirely
unnecessary and " borders on the
spreading of panic and of giving aid
and comfort to the enemv.' If the
quarantine were necessary they feel the
matter should have been placed in bet
ter hands for decision. and the eft
liens are sure that federal agents in
the town undoubtedly will substantiate
their assertions
At the same time these citizens have
prepared a circular TO be distributed
among the soldiers at the cantonment.
in which the present conditions are
fully described, in order that when the
quarantine is revoked they will show
no discrimination in their future deal
ings with them
Eugene S. Barry, member of the
health board, when informed of the
petition, said that the quarantine was
necessary, and that it is preventing
the spread of the influenza epidemic in
the town. He also asserted that the
military authoritiesxwere consulted in
the matter and that he would have
nothing further to say on the sub
iect

TO BE HERE

The advise Of those in authority is
for the South to feed herself. Why
not the south go one better and help
feed the allies? We represent one
small part Of the feed problem. We
have talked eggs and written about
eggs for several years until we pre-
sumo we are one-sided on the ques-
ton. We perhaps do estimate
the part the farm egg is to play in
the struggle for democracy. Yet
you will admit that every penny that
the child owns has a possibility.
Twenty-Five pennies will buy. a Thrift
Stamp. Eeach egg has posi-
bility than a copper. Every farm
wife who wants to help along can save
the eggs that are going to waste.
We must get the eggs to market ina
hurry and by all means remove the
male bird from the flock and produce
the infertile egg. Our farm women
are patriotic but they need to be in
formed. -

both interesting and helpful. He
speaks with force and has just enough

ers keenly interested. His messages
are doing a great deal of good.
Bro. Gates in his singing is adding
much to the meeting. He brings the
gospel in song and does it tenderly
and effectively. His singing is touch
ing hearts.
These men of God are proving a
blessing to the congregation of the
First Church and to the community at
large. The meeting will continue un-
til about the middle of next week.
We sincerely hope that the people
of the town and of the communities
round about will avail themselves Of
this opportunity. We are hoping and
praying that the meeting shall be a
blessing to every one in reach. Come
and make these last few days in
power for good.
