DONALD SHARP TRANSFERRED

Donald Sharp, who went out with
the headquarters company last Au-
gust, and about two hundred others
have been denied the qualification of
their soldier ambition to go across
the Ocean because of physical de-
fects. They were a few days ago
transferred to the regular army for
service in the United States and are
at present stationed in New Orleans.
Donald wrote his father that his
heart was almost broken when he was
advised that he was among those who
could not get a whack at the Kaiser.

Thru error the name of Duncan &

who are selling War Savings Stamps.
This good firm is not only selling
WSS but they are advertising the
Baby Bonds extensively on their own
hook, even going so far as to give
them away in their last sale. This
ilrn is always behind the Government
IN every movement and it was purely
an oversight that their name was left
out.

WHAT KANSAS DID.
Athletic Club Made Muscles Hard
For Farm Labor.

For Farm Labor.
One of the war necessities this year
has been for able bodied town men to
volunteer for farm work in their
countless or communities during the
harvests or other periods when erler-
gency supplies of farm help are need
ed. For months the United States
Department Of Agriculture has been
urging this program in every part of
the United States.
This plan was put into effect in
every town and city in Kansas, in or
der that sufficient harvest hands might
be secured for the war-winning wheat
crop. 1t was suggested that the
town men, being unaccustomed to the
hard physical work, would not be of
real assistance in the harvest until
they had been on the farm long
enough to "get the kinks out of their
muscles"
That's a good point" Somebody
at the Kansas City Athletic Club
said. Lets start training-class
movement, and get the kinks out of
every town volunteers muscles be-
fore he gets to the farm. Then he
can go right to work-bingl as soon
as he lands in the field"
So the Kansas City Athletic Club
organized a Loyal Physical Fitness
Glass;" for the purpose of hardening,
city men for work in the harvest
fields. Under the direction of pro-
fessional instructors this early morr-
ing outdoor class was attended reg
ularly by many business and pro-
fesslonal men of the city for some
weeks prior to the wheat harvest.
Flabby muscles became firm. Fat
was sweated away. Office men got
themselves fit. This physical train
ing plan was taken up by many towns
and cities of Kansas. Not only were
town men asked to volunteer for the
work in the harvest fields; they were
expected, after volunteering. to fit
themselves for effective work by
faithfully training in one of the phy-
sical classes.
Various organizations of business
and professional men in Kansas en-.
,ered whole-heartedly into the spirit
)f the farm-vOlunteer movement and
among their memberships.

Among the beautiful pre-nuptial
functions given in honor of the lat
est bride, Mrs. S. c. Pecot (nee Kate
Lou Countiss) was a very beautiful
entertainment of the briday party on
friend, Mrs. j. J. Williams, Jr.. of
Memphis, in her parental home. The
living room. halls. and dining room
were lovely in scheme of yellow, ar
ranged with exquisite taste; the at
mosphere was fresh and sweet with
the odor of the forest flowers; black
eyed Susans, yellow daises, ETC., being
banked on the mantels, tables and
window ledges-making a gorgeous
setting for the fair young bride.
She was never more charming or hap
pier than on this occasion-surround-
ed by bevy of fair young girls in
becoming evening dress, her loved
ones and her hearts hero, the groom
to be, with his best man. The gra-
cious young hostess assisted by Mr..
and Mrs. T. E. Moody, Miss Mary
Moody and Mesdames w. B. Hoffa
and S. A. Morrison) left nothing to
be desired. After an hour of delight
full conversation and pleasant badi-
mage, Misses Louise Hall and Marga-
ret Moody served a delicious salad
and ice course to the happy guests
in their own intimitable style.
This coming together of these two
young friends under the home roof
tree, ere they both shall have made
a nest for themselves in far off
places, was fitting finale to the glor-
ious days of their happy girlhood.

CANADIANS TO FURY

Clumps of crying children, little
knots of aged men and women wall

and riven, these so angered new regi-
ment of Canadians that they charged
in frenzy the trenches Of the Germans
In Flanders for five days and with
stood a hell Of fire.
Thus was the story told by r. A.
Quigley, formerly of Franklin. o.. to
the staff of the British-Canadian re-
cruiting mission in Chicago. ''The faces
and the voices of the women and chill
dren we passed on the road" said
Quigley, ''were enough to make a
mans blood boil. Our officers could
hardly hold us back. We wanted to
get at the Huns. these murderers who
would not fight like men,"
Five miles behind the front line
trenches in the Flanders sector shells
from German guns fell on the advanc-
ing Canadians. From above bombs
were dropped by aviators. Yet the
Canadians pushed on. Five days later
they took the trenches of the Huns.
"Only those who have been in this
war know the power Of high explosives
pumped by the enemy onto our SOL
diers," asserted Quigley. II picked up
dead man on now historic field. but
could find no wounds. He was one
of our soldiers. But his back was
black and seared-his spine had been
cracked by the conclusion of guns far
away"

The following extract
is from a speech by an
advocate of State owner
ship:
"Because private cap
ital is unwilling and
afraid to develop our
water powers in Maine,
shall we be denied the
benefit of all this great
natural resource on ac-
count of some people
fearing public owner
ship? Must we wait for
private capital to develop
these powers, private
capital which has devel-
oped less than 1000 h. p.
per year for the last seven
years?"
The same party on an
other occasion said:
"True conservation
means immediate devel-
opment
corporations who control
the situation say that
there is no market in
Maine for more electric
power
so you see, gentlemen,
that any prospect of such
corporations developing
our water powers for
Maine people is out of
the question"

WATER POWERS
in MAINE

there has been completed the
great Aziscohos Dam on The
Magalloway River. which stores
up nine and one-half billion
cubic feet of water, thereby in.
creasing the minimum flow of
the Androscoggin River more
than 100 per cent. The cost of
this development was S, 900 900.
On the West Branch of Pc
nobscot River the great Ripoge-
nus Dam has been built whi.h I'M
pounds the enormous quantity of
twenty-five billion cubic feet of
water and which has added
wonderfully 10 the efficiency Of
all water powers on that river.
The cost of this improvement
was more than 81 ,ooo, 900.
These two developments will
generate when needed more than
10000 horse power.
AT Rumford Falls, there is be-
ing developed added power to
the amount of $1,000 h. p. and
at a cost of over ST ,ooo, 900.
On the Saco River, during
this period there has been COM
pleted two of the largest water
power developments on the river,
namely at Benny Eagle and at
Hiram, where the present IN
stallment of water wheels equals
10000 h. p. and with a reserve
when needed of 1000 h. p, at 4
cos, of s. 900, 900.
AT Grand Falls, on the ST.
Croix River, there has been de-
veloped by the St. Croix Paper
Company 5000 h. p. with an
= added reserve'capaciiy of 1000
h. p, The expenditure a, this
development was more than
81 200, 900.
The Central Maine Power
Company is developing at Oak
land 5000 ii. p, and during the
past seven years has expended
S3,5oo.ooo in increasing the
capacity and the efficiency of its
plants.
The Portland and Lewiston
lnterurban Railroad, in order TO
use the surplus power of the
Androscoggin Electric Company,
was built and put in operation
during the past seven years at a
COS, of more than ST. coo, 900.
Here is total of more than
10000 h. p, which has been de-
veloped during the past seven
years; one-half of this period
has been the war period. But
for war conditions there would
have been developed another
large power on the Androscog-
gin, namely; that at Clark's
Rips, where the surveys and
plans have all been completed
for developing II 900 h. p, and
which power win be developed
as soon as normal conditions
obtain.
Do these facts show unwill-
ingness or timidity on the part
OF water power owners to develop
