opinion Of the race by saying he
would rather have bought the shoes.
A man of mystery also appeared on
the entertainment program, and his
singing and clog dancing was a very
pleasing feature. He gave his name
when he entered the hall as Sam
Brown. said he had come all the way
from Boston to Augusta looking for
work, and asked if he could eat with
the Rotarians as he was hungry and
had no money to buy a meal. Mr..
Brown was introduced to the Rotar-
ians by John E. Nelson. He carried
out his part on the program to per-
lection, and from all his appearances
he was, as he claimed to be, a man
out of work.
Rotarian P. S. Mooney said that he
had been requested to ask the real
name of this talented singer and
dancer, but Rotarian Nelson said that
the man had said he was Sam Brown,
and that in justice to the man it
would be better to let it go at that.
AS another feature of the entertain
ment program four members of Au-
gusta Rotary were asked to tell why
they are what they are. The briefest
answer was given by William G. Bun
ker who said Il suppose it is natural"
Others who explained this psysco-
logical problem were Dwight L. Hig-
gins. George W. Merrill and Arthur
n. Soule. Y
Chairman Fred Belyea of the en-
tertainment committee explained the
new method of selecting those who
are to be in charge of the entertain
ment at the Rotary meetings which
is by drawing names from the entire
club membership. And in this man
ner Myron Maddocks. Charles O'Con-
nor and President Ivan Lang were
selected for the next meeting.
A guest of the meeting last evening
was Rotarian Frank Chapman of the
Providence. r. I. club. who gave a
witty talk and brought greetings from
that club.
Mr.. Emery, superintendent of music
in the Augusta schools. officiated at
the piano and was given a hearty
vote Of thanks.

CA. R. SOCIETY
Entertained by Gov.
and Mrs. Milliken at
Blaine House

The most delightful social event of
the season for the younger folks took
place Friday evening when the
James Howard society, Children of
the American Revolution, was enter
tanned by Governor and Mrs. Milli-
ken at the Blaine mansion. The So
ciety at present numbers "A members
and it is safe to say that almost
every one of them was there. The
house was theirs for the evening and
under the leadership of the host and
hostess the evening passed so quickly
that it was time to go home long be-
fore anybody was ready.
The business meeting of the So
ciety occupied the first place on the
program and the business was eff
GENTLY transacted with Miss Dorothy
Viles in the chair. Miss Frederick
Fife played a piano solo and Miss
Viles introduced Governor Milliken
who talked for a short time about
the Blaine mansion and it's history
and impressed upon the young peo-
pie that it is a two-fold memorial, to
James G. Blaine and to his grandson,
Walker Blaine Beale. who lost his
life in the World War The COVER
nor then gave a dramatic reading of
a very tragic play which was enacted
on an improvised stage by Punch
and Judy puppets, all of whom lost
their lives before the final curtain
went down. The final number of the
entertainment was a song by Miss
Marcia Heath.
The party divided into three
groups and games and contests fur
nished much amusement for the re-
mainder of the evening. = At $50 the
groups reassembIed and formed for
a grand march through the parlors
to the State dining room where re-
freshments were served. The table
was prettily decorated with national
emblems and flowers and the favors
were little nut bowls of red, white
and blue paper and tiny silk Ameri-
can flags. Ices were served by Mrs.
Blaine Viles and Mrs. c. w. Jones.
The patronesses were Mrs. Mabel
Thompson, Mrs. H. G. Barker, Mrs.
Elizabeth Merrill. Mrs. c. w. Jones
and Mrs. Blaine Viles, the regent of
Koussinoc chapter. d. A. r.
The James Howard society is SO
large that it has been found neces-
sary to divide it into two groups, one
composed of the High school men,
bers and the other of those below
High school age. who will meet in al
ternate months. The society is
planning for various activities
through the winter. one Of which is
the formation of a mandolin club.

tons, but his testimony was allowed.

Coal Miners Strike
Continued from PAGE one)

ment may come from the reassem-
bling of parliament next week.
Miners Confident
The miners leaders expressed re-
greet that the strike had been forced
on the miners through the ''obduracy
of the government and their unwill-
ingness to recognize the equity of the
miners demands" They declared
they had adopted pacifist attitude in
the belief and hope that a great in
dustrial struggle would be averted, but
now that the miners had decided to
enforce their claims by the only
weapon left to them he urged them
to be of good cheer as they had pass
ed through more perilous times.
The executive of the Transport
Workers Federation has called a
meeting for Monday and a conference
on the rail men and the transport
workers will be held later on the same
day to consider the attitude toward
the miners strike of the two other
branches of the triple alliance"
Fear Rail Tis.up
The possibility of a railway tie-up
has already caused a certain amount
of panic; many travellers are arrang-
ing to return home Immediately.
1t is unoffcially stated that al
though there is a three months sup
ply of coal on hand it will be neces-
sary to institute rigid economy. 1t is
probable petrol end perishable food
stuffs will be carried on passenger
trains.
The prospect of the railway men
striking in sympathy with the miners
is viewed with grave concern in gov
eminent circles. Plans made by the
ministry of food for use if the trouble
extends are on more comprehensive
scale than during last years coal
strike. The country has been parti-
toned into fourteen divisions with a
divisional commissioner for each area.
who will be responsible for it.
Hyde Park will be secured as Lon
don's central clearing house for milk
and the despatch of foodstuffs into
the districts covered by the milk lor-
ries. Labor organizations may CO.
operate with the ministry of food in
the distribution. The sugar ration
will be reduced by half Immediately
and other commodities rationed when
1t becomes necessary.
