Kennebec Journal has b e n the
chief spokesman of Kennebec and
surrounding counties.
It's long career of usefulness and
service has had a powerful in
fluence for good on the lives and
characters of it's readers.
The faithfulness with w ich the

helpful Interpretation of the press
ing problems of troublesome times,
the uplifting word of encourage
ment for every worthy cause, pub
lie welfare, civic betterment and
community development, h a es-
tablished it as one of the perma-
nent institutions in Maine homes.
Today at least 10000 Maine fami-
lies depend upon it for inspiration,
information, advice and entertain
ment.
In variety and interest of careful
~ slfted news no paper in the State
can surpass it. It's influence makes

ness life, and better community
life.
To be a Journal reader is to identi-
fy yourself with one of the most
influential and at the same time
one of the least expensive means
OF self-advancement and self-edu-
cation at your disposal.

NOTED SPEAKER
PLEADS PATRIOTISM
SENATOR WILCOX OF EAU CLAIRE
TALKS TO IMMENSE CROWD
HERE SUNDAY EVENING,

Senator Roy P Wilcox Of Eau
Claire, made the addr SIS of the day,
here Sunday, to an immense gather
ing. Senator Wilcox came under the
auspices Of the Wisconsin Loyalty
Legion, and his first talk was given
in the circuit court room to the 1913
selected men leaving Monday for
Camp Grant. The speaker endeavor-
ed to Undue the boys with their duties
and privileges as Soldiers of Democ-
racy and it goes without saying that
his words made profound impress
sion upon the young men.
In the evening Senator Wilcox
spoke again and at greater length to
a crowd Of 5000 people assembled in
front of the court house stand. He
opened his remarks with an appeal
for service from the citizens staying
at home. "In our lovely America ev-
cry man, rich or poor, has equal
rights" said the speaker, "but with
these rights duties are co-relative and
must be Needed
Senator Wilcox asked for fore
bearance for those having severed
ties of affection with the "Fatherland,"
but he pointed out clearly that now
there are only two classes of citi-
zens, Good Americans" and Goth
ers."
He harked back to the insiduous
propaganda for peace prevailing in
the north in 1864. The close of the
war was only six months away and
victory for the Union arms certain
and yet strong effort was made to
elect a president on a platform that
would have let the Confederacy go
in peace. Lincoln was elected but by
a small popular vote due to this prop
uganda. The speakers anology with
the present was that Eternal Vigi-
lance Is The Price of Liberty" In
other words the American people
must not be dismayed or dishearten-
ed over reverses should they come,
and then lend a welcoming ear to
peace propaganda. God will not let
Democracy lose," said Mr.. Wilcox.
He drew a picture Of America as a
mother pleading to her sons in her
hour of need that brought tears to
many eyes. In conclusion he asked
for the support OF the home people
for the boys at the front and said Il
do not worry about the boys over
there if the folks back here do their
utmost to support our cause"

MARION FARMER HITS
DITCH AS CAR JUMPS.

JOS Waltz, town Of Marion farm
er, was quite badly hurt Sunday af-
tornoOn south Of Hal Borah's farm.
A number Of cars were coming south,
the Waltz car among them, to make
the report to the exemption board in
time. In the Waltz car were Frank
Dick and James Heating Waltz and
Otto Momsen. The first two and the
last man were class 1 men. Their
car slid from the road and seemed to
be going over In the excitement
Waltz rose from the back seat and
the lurch threw him head down into
the road He was picked up uncon-
ocious and brought to town.
Yesterday he was resting easily
and had regained consciousness.
DR. Doolittle took an X-rav picture
Of the mans neck yesterday but up to
noon the negative had not been de-
veloped. There is no apparent injury
aside from the severe shock.

ALMOST UNANIMOUS
REPORT OF RED CROSS WAR
FUND CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH
LANCASTER

The Red Cross War Fund Campaign
closed in South Lancaster with a to-
tai contribution of $4,000, an excess
Of $4,000 over the quota asked of the
town. The campaign was conducted
through the school district organiza-
ton and the support was very gen
eral.
School dist. No. 1 tops the list with
the greatest amount contributed above
it's quota This duplicates the record
made by the. people of this district
when South Lancaster's Honor Flag
went to Number One for the greatest
over-subscription.
It is unnecessary to publish a list
Of contributors in the town for the
reason that the reports Of the various
school district chairmen show that
with two exceptions every man who
was asked to contribute did so glad
ly and subscribed his fair share OF
the quota. That some went beyond
this mark accounts for the excess
above the quota
The men in South Lancaster who
did not contribute when called upon
to do so are,
Henry Chase.
U. E. McReynolds.

Washington, May 23.-"Go to work

government as announced today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
an amendment to the secret service

of compelling registered men not en-
gagged in a useful occupation to i'm
mediately apply themselves to some
sort of labor contributing to the gen

CARRIED BY STORM
LONE ROCK MAN GETS $50 FOOT
RIDE IN BIG WIND OTHER
QUEER MISHAPSe

Citizens of Lone Rock, still dazed
by the humping they received at the
hands of a Wisconsin twiSter, Tues
day night, which left dead, injured
and destruction in it's wake, are now
busying themselves with plans to re
habilitate the wrecked portions Of the
village Of zoo souls.
Pranks-some unusual, and others
pathetic were played upon the lit
tie community by the tornado.
To be lifted up in the arms Of the
gale over a six foot fence and depos-
tied on the ground $50 feet distant,
with no other injuries than head, face,
arms and legs cut and bruised, was
the experience of George Wright. His
mother was fatally injured.
Henry Peck was walking along the
street Of the village, looking through
the debris He picked up a watch be-
longing to Norman Dyke, living a
half mile from the scene. New build
ings erected at a cost of $4,000 on the
Van Dyke land were reduced almost
to kindling wood in few seconds.
Ali that remains Of the residence of
Henry Pierce is the foundation and
first floor. The upper portion was
lifted by the wind and hurled fully a
block away, a mass of wreckage. One
of the smaller dwellings in the village
was carried about 100 feet and lodged
upside down against two trees Dor
dering the sidewalk.
P. G. Pitken, editor of the Tri-
County Weekly, was crushed to death
when a wall Of the bank building fell
upon him. But three dozen glass jars
Of preserves in cellar only few
rods distant, were picked up deity
by the gale and set down again so
gently a short distance away that
none were broken.
Although every building on the
farm of Henry Peck, near Lone Rock,
was leveled by the wind, two mirrors
and a lamp were unbrOken.
Not a whole tombstone in the ST.
Luke cemetery, near Plain, Sank
county, remains. Practically all were
pulverized by the terrific force Of the
wind. Acres of standing timber on
the Benjamin Olson farm, just out
side of Lone Rock, were cut down as
though by a giant saw.
When it was found that the fund
started by the villagers on Wednes-
day was not growing fast enough to
meet needs, G. A. Gunderson, chair
man of the relief committee, wired
mayors of Wisconsin cities for as
sistance Money is the big need with
which to purchase food and clothing
for those whose homes were wiped
out, food supplies destroyed and
clothing carried away with the mad
wind.

BLOOMINGTON BOY
CAGES QUEER BIRD.

Raymond Ludden Of Bloomington,
was the consignor Of a freak bird to
Villas Park Zoo, Madison, on Mon
day of this week. Raymond has a
cage for capturing sparrowa and in a
way is somewhat of an ornithologist
The bird mentioned is a spa rrow that
came in the cage with some others.
It is almost white in color ana is
probably an albino type. Raymond
knows it is q sparrow as these birds
do not travel with other species. Tt
went to Villas Zoo in little shoe
box covered with wire netting and
will, no doubt, be one Of the attrac-
tiOns there.

FRED IRWIN SOLVES
FLAG POLE PROBLEM.

Fred Irwin Of this city, solved the
flag pole problem last Friday by
climbing the pole iii a more or less
nonchalant manner and removing the
offending wire. Mr.. Irwin then plac-
ed the new cable in and ali was hunky
dory. Grindell, the erector, was at
his wits end as to how to get Old
Glory to the pole top again. Mr.. II
win placed thirty foot ladder up
and climbed 80 feet more using the
bear method The pole swayed some,
Fred said. He regretted that he had
MT delayed the climb for a day so
that the Red Cross could auction his
services. He got ten dollars for the
steeple work.

the necessary bread stuffs for our
armies.

3. All sales of winter wheat by in
ividual farmers to other. farmers for
seed purposes must be tagged and
registered with the County Food Ad-
ministratOr.
