ALONG THE SHORE.

"TT HE word impossible" has no
 place In the brave mans vo-
 eabulary This statement ap- plies with equal force and certainty to brave women; to brave boys and girls who, in their faith and persist ency adhere firmly to right purposes and keep ever pressing forward, re- fusing always to admit defeat.
 If it were not for these courageous people, the world would soon drift into state of deplorabIe ignorance, heIplessness and poverty.
 How strong and capable is tho adroitIy sailed ship on the sea of life, with her white canvas bulging as she booms on to the distant haven where hordes of expectant hu- mans await her arrival!
 If in adverse winds and pounding storms the navigator should throw up his hands and cry impossible" the ship and her precious cargo would be lost.
 There is entrusted to you by the Creator full command of the wonder ful ship that carries your soul, which at the end of lifes voyage you are expected to bring safely into the har- bor.
 You must not shirk this great re- sponsibiIity.
 You must not cry impossible" lose heart or enthusiasm.
 You must perform your whole duty with unfailing precision, whether sail ing under clear skies or beneath domes blurred with leaden clouds driven by bowling gales.
 The storms are meant to test your. skill and patience; to bring out your fine qualities; to enable you to say with the strong and the true that noth- ing is impossible" for him or her who holds fast to faith.

PUT TRUTH IN SECOND PLACE
Salesman, Like Some oIdtirne Adver. tisers, Must Have Had StranaIe
 Hold on Conscience.

Frank Irwin Fletcher, the New York advertising expert, said in an. address to advertisers:
 Another fault that is fast disap. bearing is exaggeration-lying, ypa know. Some of the advertisements- of the past remind me of dialogue between a salesman and patron. It runs like this:
 Whats the price of the articiey
 "t0ne dollar, sir
 Bought direct from the manafac- turer, I presume?
 "'No, sir, we got it at sherifs sale of the manufacturers stock
 "'Why did the manufacturer bust up?
 Through selling this article at a dead loss
 "T suppose he'd paid too much for his raw material, eh?'
 "'Oh. no: he stole the raw material

 Weak, nervous women make unhappy homes, their condition irritates both husband and children. It has been said that nine- tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, ''the blues, " irritability and backache arise from some displacement or derange- msnt of woman's system. Mrs. Phil lips letter clearly shows that no other remedy is so successful in overcoming this condition as Lydia D. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound.

Uncommon Sense
 Rss By JOHN BLAKE
WANT WHAT YOU NEED

PHILOSOPHERS tell us we can
 have anything we want, provided
 we want it enough.
 With certain qualifications this is true. It explains why many men get things out of life that their friends never expected to get They wanted them, and they got them.
 Getting things in that way for most people involves considerable sacrifice.
 For example, if a dry goods clerk wants an automobile he may get it, but he will have to slimp pretty heavily on his clothes and diet if he gets it while he still remains q dry goods clerk.
 It is for this reason that. when you begin wanting something, it will pay you to want what you need.
 That will involve thought, for none of us know what we need until we de vote considerable time to reflection and study.

custard Pie.

Prepare rich crust and line a deep pie plate. For the filling take one quarter cupful of sugar, two eggs we'll beaten, pint of milk and nutmeg to season. Just before going into the oven sprinkle with half-cupful or more of chopped black walnut meats. Bake as usual. The nuts will form a nice brown crust on top of the pie.

DEADLY WEAPON OF SAVAGES
African Tribes Use Poisoned Arrows Which InfIict Death That Is
 Instantaneous.

The most effective weapon of the Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow which they poison with the Aeean- thera schimperi, a small tree, accord ing to a National Geographic society bulletin. They boil the leaves and branches until the mixture becomes thick and pitch-1ike in appearance, and place it on sheets of bark which they hide high on the branches of trees away from children until it is needed. When an animal Is shot with an arrow dipped in the poison it dies almost im- mediately. The natives cut out the flesh around the wound as soon as pos sible and throw it away. The remain der is eaten and the blood is drunk. This love of blood as an article of food is common among many African tribes, several of them going so far as to bleed their cattle and drink the blood hot or mix it with their porridge.

The Block Signals Are Working

In some respects, human experience is like railroading.
 Every moment of the business and social day the block signals are giving right of way to keenness and alertness while the slow and the heavy must wait on the sidetrack for their chance to move forward.
 The ability to Ego through" and to ".get there" depends much on the poise of body, brain and nerves that comes with correct diet and proper nourishment. That's why so many choose Grape. Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served with cream or milk it is completely nour,shing, partly pre-digested, and it supplies the vital mineral salts so necessary to full nutrition.
 GraPe-Nuts has a rich, delightful flavor, is ready to serve on the instant and is distinctly the food for mental and n physical alertness and speed. At all grocers.

Half Score New
Houses as Starter
in Building Boom

Four prominent Augusta business
men have rallied to the support of the
Augusta Chamber of Commerce plan
to build more houses to meet the
housing shortage that exists here
According to this plan ten houses are
to be built, as a starter, thus showing
the confidence of responsible business
men in the stability of the present
market. This is the time to build,
says the Housing Committee, for
there is bound to be a building boom
allover the country just the minute
that confidence is restored and peo-
pie stop marking time. Why. fifty
homes ready for occupancy in Au-
gusta this morning would be rented
before night by people now living in
! cramped quarters in this city and by
people living at great inconvenience
in neighboring town sand holding po
sitions in our city. 1t is essential
to the future of our city to immedi-
ately launch building BOOM When
the houses are ready, it will be no
great task to bring industries to the
city and begin new era of prosper
ity for Augusta.
Our country is from one to four
million homes behind it's needs. Right
here in Augusta three young couples
are jointly occupying six room
dwelling and each family is ready and
willing to establish a home of it's own
if suitable quarters can be found.
Applications come in every day at the
Chamber office asking for, rents. 1t is
to meet this shortage that the bus
mess men, at the call of the Chamber
of Commerce, are planning to build.
The houses in question will cost from
$4,000 up, the price being left entirely
to the person.
The four agreeing to build are:
Charles A. Spaulding, Rural Mail
Carrier, one house; Wallace Diplock,
Real Estate Dealer and Salesman,
one house; w. w. Jackson, Contrac-
tor and Builder, one house; Malcolm
& Dyer. Plumbing and Heating, and
Tracy & Metcalf, Contractors, one
house Jointly. The committee hopes
to reach the total of ten houses by
the end of the week.

Davis Cup Entries
To Close Today

New oYrk, March 14-Entries for
the Davis Cup Championship match
es of 1921 cmblematic of the world
team lawn tennis honors, will close
here tomorrow The following day
the draw for the preliminary ties or
rounds will be made and before
nightfall every tennis playing nation
in the world will know the order in
which the various nationalities will
battle for the right to challenge the
cup holding Americans.
With a record breaking list of en-
tries in hand and the possibility that
one or two more nations may decide
to challenge at the last moment, the
draw is likely to prove a dramatic
and complicated event. Everything
depends upon the Luck of the
Draw" so far as several of the ma
tions entered are concerned. If they
are fortunate enough to draw bye
or place in a so-called soft Spot,
they may progress much further than
would be the case where they might
be drawn against one of the stronger
tennis playing nations. The drawing
of the two strongest nations against
each other in the first round would
also furnish more or less of an an
ti-climaX.
For these reasons the results of the
drawing and the methods to be used
are of interest to tennis players in
all parts of the world. The formula
for the draw is as follows: The names
oh m
be written on separate sheets of pa
per; each REPEATEDLY folded in an iden.
teal manner and the resultant
squares of paper placed in a recep-
tacle, we'll shaken and withdrawn
one at a time. Previously a chart
shall have been prepared according
to the number of entries. and the ma
tions entered thereon in accordance
with the following rule:
when the number of competitors
is 4, s, 16, or any other higher power
of .. they shall meet in pairs, the
number of competitors being equally
divided into an upper and lower half
of the draw. When the number of
competitors is not power Of 2,
there shall be byes in the first round.
The number of byes shall be equal
to the difference between the number
of competitors and the next higher
power of 2, and the number of pairs
that shall meet in the first round shall
be equal to the difference between the
number of competitors the next lower
power Of 2. The boys, if even IN num-
Der, shall be divided as the names are
drawn, in equal proportions at the top
and bottom of the list, above and
below the pairs. If uneven in num-
the bottom than there is at the top
Immediately after the completion of
the draw the United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association will notify the nations
entered for the Davis Gun the result

COny Basketeers
Play Portland High
At Portland Wednesday

The Cony High basketball squad will
go to Portland Wednesday for a game
with Portland High in the evening.
This contest should prove most in
teresting. Portland has met and de-
feated some of the best teams in the
State. The Capital City boys have
rot been SO fortunate in their recent
contests, yet they have to their credit
some hard fought victories with some
of the topnotchers.
Cony will take along her usual line
up, accompanied by Coach Thompson.
The Cony boys will also seek to ar
range for a return game with Port
land, to be played in Augusta Friday
night of this week, instead of week
from Friday according to their sched-
ule. The Portland quintet is to take
part in the Maine basketball tourna-
ment at the University of Maine next
week and it is for this reason that
such change is sought.

of the same and request that all
matches resulting from the draw shall
be completed not later than certain
date, which this year will probably
be about the middle Of August What
ever the date fixed, ample time will be
given the challenging nation to pre-
pare for the challenge round to be
played against the United States team
at Forest Hills, N. Y. beginning on
September 2.
With teams entered from the British
Isles, Canada, Belgium, Australasia,
India, Spain, France, Philippines,
Holland and Czechslovakia, interest in
the matches is extremely keen. APP
plications have been received by the
tennis association fro mmore than
enough cities in the East and Central
West to stage all matches which would
result from an entry of more than a
dozen nations. While the rules do not
require than any of such matches, 9TH
er than the challenge round, shall be
played in the United States, it is hoped
that at least half of the preliminary
matches can be staged in this country
with the consent of the contending ma
tions.
