Ills hair is white and his face is old,
Wrinkled and gray and stern,
And his lips are blue and his hands are
cold,
But his eyes like torches burn;
For he looks behind to the Autumn s
gold,
And the Summers flowers of blue,
He sees the grace of the Spring unfold,
And the buds come peeping through
His step is slow and his form is bent
And his voice a-tremble grows,
His work is done and his life is spent
But his soul exutant glows;
For he looks ahead to a New Year
bright
That he helped to weave and win;
And the Old goes out as he dies tonight
But the New come blithely in

BUSINESS LECTURE
Will Be Given Next Friday Evening
by G. w. SuIIey of Dayton. Ohio
No Charge for Admission

The six reel feature film Getting
the Most Out of Retailing" will be
presented for the first time in Au-
gusta on Friday night, October Z, at
g O'Clock, in Cony High school hall.
In connection with the film, lecture
on retail merchandising will be given.
All merchants and sales people in the
city are invited to attend. No charge
will be made for admission.
The Forum committee of the Au-
gusta Chamber Of Commerce, has Sc
cured the film and merchandising
lecture through the courtesy of the
National Cash Register Company of
Dayton, Ohio. G. w. Sulley, expert
lecturer of the Dayton Company, will
be the speaker. The lecture has been
highly commended. Causes for los
ses and failures in retail business
are shown, and their remedy told m
the lecture, which has been prepared
from the experience of that Company
in it's SO years of dealing with mer-
chants in all part of the world.
A prominent place in the lecture
is given to the value of newspaper
advertising. Mr.. Sulley will tell how
to prepare newspaper copy, how to
secure best results, and why a mer-
chant should advertise continually.
Window display, efficiency of clerks.
selling methods, and other topics of
interest to merchants will also be
discussed.
The film tells in vivid manner the
80
ure. AS the film progresses, the
reasons for his lack of success be-
come plain. Poor arrangement of
goods, an unattractive front, and
most of all, out of date business
methods, all contributed their quota
of loss. Finally a change comes in
the career of the merchant. He re-
models his store, installs a modern
system, does more advertising, and
rapidly rises to success.

MUNICIPAL COURT
Sentences Imposed Upon Veterans
at National Soldiers Home Who
Were Arrested Friday by Sheriff
Harwood

Guilty was the plea entered by
the the three respondents from To-
gus who were arraigned for intox-
ication before Judge Robert A Cony
at the municipal court Saturday
morning as the result of the raid
made by Sheriff f. d. Harwood and
Deputy Sheriff Francis Harwood on
Friday afternoon near Togus The
condition of the three men when they
were taken into custody did not seem
to warrant the entering of any other
plea except guilty" and then be-
sides there was the additional evil
dence of a bottle of denatured alcoh-
oil which had been seized at the wet
party.
Although 1T was a serious matter
and the men We're made to realize it
as such, there was dry" humor
through the testimony of all the res
pondents. George Lake, the first res
pendent. at first pleaded not guilty.
but when his companions pleaded
guilty, without hesitation. Lake
changed his plea to correspond.
Patrick Sullivan of Togus, IS years
of age and an ex-sailor, stated that
his home was at Boston, that he had
been in court before, and that his
record was good in his home city. He
state dthat he did not pay anything
TO rthe liquor at the party which
was being staged in a field near To-
gus, but that it was given to him
free of charge. Owing to extenuat-
ing circumstances. he was allowed to
go on the payment of costs only,
amounting to SO.
John Ballentyne testified that he
was never in the court before and
that he had only been at the party
about five minutes when he was ar
rested. He was sentenced to nav a
fine of $40 or serve 80 days in pail.
He paid.
George Lake stated that hefad Just
returned to the Togus reservation
from leave of absence and had not
been back "a hours. The last time
he was before the court he was zen
fenced to serve 80 days in Jail. He
did not know who the owner Of the
liquor was. according to his testi-
mony. Judge Cony imposed SEN
fence on Lake of fine of $40, costs
of $3.50 and 30 days in jail.
Another respondent who was
