ing he was approaching was as unex-

walked on, smiling.
He was fairly blown into the outer
room, the door banging behind him.
Every one looked up at the noisy inter-
ruption. There were several men in
the long room. Among them two alert,
clean-faced youths, college graduates,
or students out on furlough, the kind
Of stuff in his class at Lawrence. Three
of the seasoned, road-coached type
were leaning their chairs against the
cool thick walls. One was putting at
cigar. The other, big, shy giant,
was drawing clouds of comfort from q
pipe. There was u telegraph operator
at work in one end of the room, her
instrument rapidly clicking. In an op-
poste corner was telephone ex-

around her forehead was punching
connections between the valley towns.
Richard lost the feeling of having
gone into remote and isolated re-
glon. The twin towns were ON the
map.
One of the older men returned his
nod. The young men returned their
hastily withdrawn attention to their
game of checkers. The other smoker
was watching with cross-eyed nbsorp-
ton the rings his cigar was sending
into the air. Rickard might not have
been there.

Former Brunswick Hospital
Nurse Will Go TO Siberia

Misses Ruby and Ruth Thomas for
merly of Alma, but who have been
overseas with the American Expe-
dictionary forces, ministering to the
wounded American boys, in the hos,
pltals, have returned home and are
visitors in Waycross. So attached
have they become to the work of nurs
ing and caring for the wounded and
dying soldier boys that they have, de-
cided to devote more of their young
lives to the cause and will leave
soon for Siberia, where they go to
serve the American soldiers who are
stationed there. Both of the Misses
Thomas are expert trained nurses"
The above clipping dated from Way,
cross, will be of interest to the many
Brunswick friends Of the Misses
Thomas, who received their training
in our City hospital under the splendid
instruction of Mrs. d. p. Roche. at
that time superintendent of nurses in
this institution. This wonderful war
record is complimentary both to their
alma mater and its most capable head.
The best wishes of many Brunswick
lans will go with them into this new
far distant field Of labor.

f. A Bckford of North Main street
suffered a dislocated shoulder and
severe shaking up Wednesday evening
when according to the police, he was
struck by an automobile truck driven by

that Gotta fed when he realized that he
had knocked n man down and perhaps
fatally injuring him.
Bickford was tagging an electric car
at the car barn of the st. Adams Sc
Swanton Traction Co. when this truck
came zigzagging along the road. AS it
got near the car, 1t is said to have cut
in front Of the tracks and then swerved
out, knocking Bickford down and run
ming over him. Bickford struggled TO
his feet and shouted to some men near
by. Get the number of that car, he
broke my arm"
A boy on a motorcycle gave chase and
rode three miles before he caught up
with the truck and noted the license
number by which Gotta was located.
Witnesses Of the accident stated that the

ture, placed its size at almost nine hun

Kansas Is producing an enormous crop,
the forecast Of production for that State
being almost % per cent. of the country's
total indicated output. Illinois has
forecast Of nearly 66.0OO0OO bushels,
Indiana about 56.OOO.OO0, Ohio 100000 and
Oklahoma slightly more than 54.OO0,oO0

agreement which was to go into. effect
to-day, 5000 members of the International
Brotherhood of Pulp, Suphate and
Paper Mill Workers employed in this
company's mills throughout the country
struck between mid might and $3.50
o'clock this morning.
Members of the mechanics organizations
also went out The company agreed to
grant the demand of the International
Brotherhood of Paper Makers for an in
crease Of Is per cent. The pulp, sui
phate and paper mill workers sought in
creases of eight cents an hour for hour
workers; nine cents an hour for inside
day workers with an eight-hour day for
the entire plant.
The company offered increases Of four
cents an hour for men earning 40 to so
cents under the old scale; five cents for
cents for those earning 60 to rs cents
and an eight hour day for all workers.
The mechanical trades were offered 55
cents an hour as a minimum wage. Their
demand was for 60 cents.
One of the principal grievances of the
strikers is that the paper makers have
been granted the full increase demanded
while an effort is being made to reduce
the demands of the other unions.
