Is there need for organized action
in providing work for. the unemploy-
ed, Of Grand Forks? CitEsDfficials and
others who have looked into the ques
ton believe there is.
1t was announced here recently that
survey was being made iii order that
the exact situation might be ascer-
tanned. This survey is not to be start
ed until next Thursday, December 1.
yet the mere announcement that sucn
q survey is to be undertaken has
brought forth s. many requests for
work, and SO many pathetic cases have
been revealed that The Herald has
need for something being done.
Mayor Henry O'Keefe is aware of
the situation, and has called on Mrs.
E. NJ. Pierce, social service commits
sioner, for {: urvey Last Monday

Many Look for Work.

There are several families who, for
various and very good reason appear
on the social service commissioners
books quite regularly In addition to
these and despite the fact that the
unemployment service has not yet
been opened, II men and women have
been, haunting the social service
commissioners office during the past
week in search Of work. They scour,
ed the city, but found nothing they
could do. Mrs. Pierce has secured
work for but two of them-the others
are still looking.

Boy Soprano at
Penney Memorial

Master winslow Rouse, star soloist
OF Holy Trinity church. Boston, was
greeted by an audience Of 600 Sunday
morning at the United Baptist Penney
Memorial church, when he sang two
Sunday services. UNFOLDING the splen-
did impression which he made at
Thursday evenings concert. Master
Rouse gave two selections at the Sim
day morning services of highest Or
der. He sang Gounod's ave Marie"
and Handers Angels Ever Bright and
Fair" Even to better advantage than
the concert was Master Rouse Sun
day at the Penney Memorial church.
His wonderfully clear, sweet voice
filed the big church, reaching the
farfhermost occupant. 1t has indeed
been splendid opportunity for Au-
gusta folks to hear this gifted little
man. At the evening service at the
same church Master Winsiow Rouse
sang Baah's My Heart Ever Faith
fur and coverly's Trusting in Thee"
The CoyerIy masterpiece is that which
he sang at the Thursday evening con-
cert and his repeating of this song
was at the request of many who were
so delighted with his previous rem
dition. He also sang by request Heart
of Cold by Manning, which was
greatly enjoyed. The evening audi
ence was one of the largest ever as

this was open Saturday evening and
a three-hour concert was given that
proved one of the features or the in-
formal store-warming.
One of the most striking things on
the second floor is the big rug rack,
! which holds a hundred rugs of all
patterns. Other rugs, carpets. lace
curtains and portieres are also shown
here. On the south side of the room
are stoves and the crockery depart
ment.
The third. floor is one that the visit
or is bound to linger in, for here are
shown parlor, living room, and library
furniture in many styles, including
! the very latest designs. Many of
these. are copies of famous period
furniture and have a charm pos
sessed by no other patterns. From
the main third floor, one easily enters
the annex where dining room and Of
fee furniture are well displayed.
The period furniture, so far as it
pertains to the chamber, is shown in
profusion on the fourth floor for here
are pieces of the Queen Anne, Queen
Mary, Adam and American Colonial
periods. Odd pieces and four-posted
beds make a big showing as well as
the array of cedar chests, both natu-
raj wood finish and straw covered.
The fifth floor is devoted to the
storage of general stock, mattress
rack and general work purposes.

pressed with. the excellent lighting
system, not only by electricity, but
by daylight. Windows are on both
the east and west sides of both floors
so that the furniture is at all times
seen under favorable conditions.

RICH DISPLAY
Seen in Opening New
Soule Emporium

FAFRSo SUto FdpytdH0 ~ S6p
ture - Fully 1900 Attend Informal
Showing of Splendid Zine House
Furnishings
OF course, there was no magic to it,
but just the same, some 1900 people,
Saturday night, wondered how the
people of the r. w. Soule Emporium
managed to move all their goods from
the old place in Market square to the
new quarters on Water street with
out attracting any attention.
This. fact was still more impressed
on them as they went all over the
new store, which was officially though
informally opened Saturday evening,
and inspected the different floors with
their attractive displays of goods.
The new Soule Emporium in the
remodeiled Cony house building has
FIVE floors in the main part, floor in
the annex and the basement. All
are filled with furniture and every
piece of it was carried into the build
ing by the way of the Commercial
street entrance. The front entrance
was not used at all and the hundreds

street daily hardly knew that the

last week.
''Start?' answered the head of the
firm. "Why, we're all moved"
Not seeing the wagons backed up
on the Water street side nor seeing
any furniture being carried in, the in
quirer naturally assumed, as did
many others, that theAe was nothing
doing, when there was in reality a
whole lot doing by the way Of the
back door.
For all Saturday evening was NOT
the most comfortable of nights to be
out, fully 1900 people paid visit to
the Emporium and admired not only
the store and it's business-like ar
rangement of goods, but the big stock
of. furniture as well.
The basement is used for general
storage and packing purposes, but the
first floor is filled with furniture of
all kinds, for this is the main show
section. Parlor, bedroom and bed
room furniture are here in suites ar
ranged IN booths so that the visitor
may get an idea of how the various
pieces would look when in a room. In
addition to this big display, there is
a special room for demonstrating the

Swings Bank for $25 when ne has 20
funds in that bank. The warrant was
sworn out for his arrest but he
skipped out and search for him has
since been in progress.
The Bangor Commercial of Saturday
has the following to. say regarding his
movements in that county:
Robert Wilson of Monticello. who
has ben serving term OF 30 days IN
the county jail on a sentence from the
municipal court for cheating hi false
pretenses by raising the figures In a
stolen bank book from 81 to $500 and
attempting to get clothing in this city
by giving an order on the bank book,
was taken to Auusta, Friday night by
Deputy Sheriff Robinson of Kennebec
county to answer to a charge Of forg-
cry there.
At the time that Wilson was arrest
ed ih this city, he confessed to Police
Inspector Knaide that he had stolen
the bank book from O man by tbs
name of Henry Mccormick in Halo
well and after erasing the name on
the book and the balance Of 81 which
the book contained, had written his
own name on the book and put down
a series of false deposits which total
led $500. The job was ay cry crude
one and could easily be discerned by
a casual examination of the book.
Wilson went into different clothing
stores and after picking out a guam
tity of clothing in each, attempted to
give ano rider on the bank book in
payment. The proprietors of the
stores were suspicious of him, how
ever, and notified the police. In the

piercing his right lung and the other
his abdomen.

that it may have been an echo of some

startled the wet" forces by introduc-
ing a bill in the House to amend the
prohibition law to prevent physicians
from prescribing beer for medicinal
purposes.
The amendment was offered, Mr.
Volstead said, to meet the situation
created by the opinion of ex-Attorney
General Palmer who held that beer
could be prescribed as medicine. The
internal revenue commissioner was
about to issue an order based on Mr..
Palmer's opinion which permitted
prescribing two bottles OF beer a day
as medicine.

Congress and there is every indica-

In addition to prohibiting specifcaI.
