FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
"Pocahontas''

Pocahontas was the first cigar

culation. Pocahontas was an In

haitian and lived in a canvas
apartment close by Richmond,
Virginia in the Seventeenth Cen
fury, B. V. D. (before Volstead
days. She was a romantic young
thing and it was her wont to sit
around the campfire at night and
dream of the movie actors she'd
seen down Petersburg Way.
One day while the tribe to
which she belonged, was out pag-
ing Pilgrim scalps, several war
riors returned with very hand
some specimen known by the then
uncommon name of John Smith.
John was Captain in the Home
Guards, possessed a nice happy
disposition, could swim, row, play
hockey and belonged to every
club in the South. And Pocahon-
taS took fancy to him.
Powhattan, however, was on

The scene was all set. The

Group to Work for

washington, FEB. 20.--An organiza-
ton, composed of q number of men
and women prominent in various lines
OF activity. has been formed to work
for passage of the Smith -Towner bill
to create federal department of ed
ucation, 1t was announced here today.
A. Lincoln Filene. Boston, heads the
organization and former Secretary OF
Commerce Redfield is it's treasurer.
In statement the Proponents of
the measure said it was the most I'M
portant educational legislation that
has come before the country in a hun
dred years. and that it has been much
misrepresented and misunderstood.
The most misrepresented feature of
the bill, according to the statement. Is
one on which opponents base their con-
tention that 1t would permit federal
control of education. State control is
safeguarded but If those opposed to
the measure think it is not, friends of
the bill will agree to any necessary
amendments to insure freedom from
federal interference, the statement
added.
1t also is claimed by friends of the
measure that it will not interfere will,
private or parochial schools. which, if
the bill were enacted, would continue
to operate as they have in the past.
only under such restrictions as may
have been imposed by state and local
education authorities.

are not slow in making the fact

are not slow in making the fact
known.
The bargains that have been pre-
sented to the public on previous Dol
Iar Days have been SO real, so gem
uines that each succeeding Dollar
Day has been a bit better than the
one before. The merchants have
gained the confidence of their Gus
toners, held up the quality of the
merchandise offered and followed the
policy of undertaking rather than
overstating and exaggeration in their
Advertisements. This policy has been
proven to be wise. The merchants
are satisfied and so is the public.
In common with other communities
Gardiner merchants are anxious to
get business on an even keel and are
willing to make almost any kind of a
sacrifice to do SO. This means just
one thing-Bargains. They believe
that the one safe way to meet what
ever Buyers strike" there may be, is
with high quality goods and low
prices. If the people of this and
other communities stop buying the
endless chain begins to move and
prosperity and progress stops.
Buy what you can and buy now.
Watch Tuesdays paper for. the an
nouncement of the Merchants Asso-
citation. Bear in mind that the three
last days of this week are to offer you
unusual shopping facilities. Watch
lnls paper for announcements.

The plans for good sport this year
are rounding out in good hape and
a day of the very best sport is al
ready assured AL Standish of the
American Horse Breeder is to onici-
ate as tarter, and this of itself is
sufficient assurance that this end
of the sport will be in highly eff
cient hands. At the stand will be
found equally efficient men and
good, clean sport will be given.
The big card Of the day is to be the
matched race for a purse of $1,000
between Bruce Auduborn. an unde-
feated ice champion of New Hamp-
shire and Tom Donahue. This is sure
to be a race worth going some dis
lance to witness. Both horses will
be in the hands of real drivers who
know just how to get the most speed
at the crucial moment. Don't fail
to witness this match.
In addition to the above there will
be four other classes, three for
Gardiner Driving Club. They are
the 2.1S, 2,22 and go classes. In
these classes the purse will be 500,
divided as follows, so, %, Is and
