viewpoint of the present
retail situation.
: q
THE time has come to
modify the feeling of
restraint in buying; and
the public. should realize
that the retail merchants
are doing their utmost to
meet the demand for a re-
duction in the high price
of merchandise.
THE present decline in
prices is almost un-
precedented. If you will
turn to the ADVERTISE
ments after reading this,
you will see how sweep
ing the reductions are.
q
THE old levels cannot
be reached all at once
but they will be post
poned if you do not re-
sumo buying. 1t is this
very condition which all
of us must help to elirni-
nate.
q
| PROLONGED lack of
demand increases un-
employment, which cur
tails purchasing power.
It will eventually result
in a sudden over-demand
which would so tax les
sened production that
the old experience of
high prices might be re-
peated.

Schlndler. the singing was of a high
order OF merit and did full justice to
the genius Of the composer.
Russian Soprano Commonplace
Other numbers were choruses from
the operas of Rimsky-korsakoff and
Russian folksongs. The concert also
was the occasion of the first public ap-
pearance in America of Nine. Nina
koshetz. Russian soprano, who ap-
peared at private concert some weeks
ago. Although this singer had been
foollshly heralded in advance circulars
as "Russia's foremost lieder singer"
her voice was of indifferent quality and
her singing commonplace in character.
Among her numbers were songs by
Moussorgsky, Metner and Rachmann-
OFT. and the audience was afforded the
interesting opportunity of comparing
Stravinsky's Pastorale, which has no
other words than the shepherds call,
400! A-oo!" and Rachmaninoff' Vc-
calise without words, which, according
to note in the program, was written
in 1915 and "enjoyed sensational sue
cess in Russia. The Russian audiences
wanted to see in the walls and throbs
of the melody more than the simple
title implies. feeling that, perhaps. it
gained particular significance under
the fearful stress of the war years. But
the composer wishes the song to be un-
derstood as absolute music on it's own
grounds, as an attempt to treat toe
human voice instrumentally. A fas-
cinating experiment skillfully carried
out.

Apartment Houses
May Solve the
House Shortage

In carefully compiling the replies
Of the Housing QUESTIONABLE sub
mitted to the members of the Au-
Susta Chamber of Commerce Secre-
tary Clarke reports that majority
of the replies recommended the i'm
mediate construction of an apart
ment house as solution of the prob
lem. The presence of saIaried men
in connection with the work of the
State of Maine which centers in Au-
gusta would seem to make such a
house a success and to assure it's
patronage at all seasons Rents of
from $4,000 to $4,000 including janitor
service and heat would undoubtedly
be engaged even in advance of con-
struction.
This matter will be submitted for
consideration before the Housing
Committee at~their meeting scheduled
for Monday afternoon at 400 o'clock.
At that time also the members will
report on the Build a House canvass
and make further plans to interest
individuals in house construction.
The committee meetings are open to
the public and those interested in
building are especially welcome. 1t
| is hoped that considerable housing
activity will result from the work of
| this committee.

.REORGANIZE c. OF c.
Campaign Slated for April 11-inter

Plans are rapidly maturing at the
Chamber of Commerce Office for the
annual stock-taking campaign which
is definitely slated for the week of
April 18th. At that time represent

tary and the committee appointed by
the board of directors along three
definite lines: (a) securing new mem

A list of 80 men has been prepared by
President Myron Davis, each of whom
will be asked to serve on one of three
teams to assist in the campaign.
The directors of the Chamber of
Commerce feel that the work of the
past year has been very satisfactory
and that prospects for the new year
are exceedingly bright. Their organi-
cation, which was new last year at
this time. has accomplished many very
definite and concrete things and the
secretary is even now preparinga print
ed report to be passed to each men,
Der during the stock-taking campaign.
The ground work for the future has
also been well prepared. Facts re-
garding Augusta have been compiled
and will be published in a beautiful
illustrated booklet ready about April
18th. Plans for definite activity to
focus attention on Augusta as a trad
ing center have been worked out and
will be put in operation during the
months of May and June. A mass of
detail work is being handled each
day in preparation for the campaign
and it is confidently expected that
from Is to 80 new enrollments will
result.
Preparatory to the stock-taking each
committee chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce has been asked to make
q report to the directors at the April
meeting OF the work accomplished
during the year. These reports will
be incorporated in the final report to
the members.
