witnessed some rarely good bar
gains, but nothing to be compared
with the feature attractions to be
offered this year.
Not only will the Kennebec Jour
nal carry it's message of bargains to
every section of the county, but the
Chamber of Commerce will issue a
special Dollar Day Circular which
will not only convey a whole lot of
news but a lot of information as we'll.
There will be no guessing contests
or band concerts or street attractions
during Dollar Days. Instead, the
merchants have decided that they
will spend their money in giving val
ucs to their customers, another proof
that it is service and value the Au-
gusta dealers want to emphasize.

CRIMES GO ON
IN ARMENIA
Plight in Marash Said to Be
Worse.

NEW YORK. Nov. AMT Christian
outbreaks over a widespread area in Asia
Minor were reported IN two cablegrams
received by the Near East Relief today.
The first, from relief headquarters in
Beirut. reports the situation in Marash,
where last year twelve. thousand Arme-
mans were massacred, to be worse than
at any time since the massacre. The
cable follows:
--latest reports from Marash indicate
q situation worse than last year. New
deportation Is threatened and Christian
population forced TO do compulsory Ia
Dor. Three thousand women and children
dependent upon Near East Relief Tor
full support and four. thousand more for
clothing. We have been compelled to as
sumo support Of native Orphanage In
Diarbekir"
The second cable, from the Greek Red
Cross, announces that the situation has
gotten beyond its control and appeals for
aid. This cable reads:
"Anguished appeal for help reaching
rs from SamsOun district of Asia Minor.
Murder, plunderlng, and deportation OF
Christian population is growing fercer
every day. Our emmissaries cannot gain
access. Coming Of winter makes situa-
ton desperate. We are confident Of your
generous action on behalf Of suffering
that the Near East Relief viii once more
save the surviving women and children
and prevent their determination"

We Believe in Indianapolis
Heavy Hauling and
Highway Transport

There are in use in the city of Indian
apolis each day 2,870 vehicles engaged
In hauling and delivering More than
one hundred Indianapolis firms have
been established for the sole purpose of
handling the hauling of commercial in
situations and private individuals. It is
not unusual for these trucks to under
take hauls of 80 miles or more. These
firms have an annual income of over
S5,4O0,000 a year, earned solely as pay
for hauling the wares of others.
Among the records held by Indianap-
oils in the field of hauling and highway
transport is that won by the fleet of
motor trucks serving the Indianapolis
Stock Yards by hauling $500 hogs with
a value of $500, 200, to the yards in sin
gle day. This was 1900 more head than
brought in by steam and interurban
lines.

Untn the wage rate In corrected the rail-
road can do nothing. The Government is

In private business. Take my case, for
example. Where the Government took

had IN a bank. We cannot get that
money from the Government. We cannot
apply st for taxes or anything. We can
not apply it to any account. The Govern
ment simply tells US to go to Halifax or
some other place. It's so with everything
the Government owes to US. Ws are hog
tied in a thousand ways and in no ways
more than in money and wages. We
have no opportunity &c bring our proper
ty back to normal I have 1000 cars
that are in urgent need Of repair but can
not get the money to repair them. I
need 500 men today but cannot afford to
hire them. More than % per cent of the
freight cars in America are in bad order.
II we ha& o Sudden revival Of business
we wouldn't have the cars to handle the
traffic. We have no control OF the wages
we pay. Wages used to make up 90 per
cent Of our total bill Of expense Now it
Is so. You ask us to reduce freight and
passenger rates. Give opportunity to US
to do and we will welcome lower rates.
But they cannot come down without labor
costs coming down.
The whole railroad situation Is alb
surd. We are regulated to death. The
Interstate Commerce Commission pre-
seribes the rates for freight and pas
senger traffic and the railroad labor
board tells US what wages we must pay
And the Government hasn't settled with
Us for the use of our lines in the war
period, nor has It returned to US the
money It took from US. Added to this,
the public expects US TO operate our
properties in frst-class condition, de-

tailers are finding 1t a little harder to sell
goods, the pubic being n bit resentful Of
the recent advance in cottons. There
is general Acceptance Of the belief that
purchasers are far more discriminating
than ever before.
Reports OF pronounced scarcity In va
rious kinds Of desirable textile goods are
many. Distributors say this is because
retailers delay in placing orders, being
unwilling to order until stocks are nearly
exhausted.
On the other hand manufacturers will
not make goods except on order. Between
the two there Is developing an artificial
shortage that may create a false mar
ket, false prices and trouble to the
trade.
AS in other cities. the authorities here
say, the Government figures on unem-
ployment are much too high.

to adjust overhead to the smaller mar

freight rates. For example: The freight

close to cents a head and the lettuce
will sell retail for 10 or Is cents, while
the freight on a pair of shoes that re-
tails for $40 will be the same-5O cents.

year, but considerably less in dollars.
They had no profit in the first six months
of this year, but now are doing quite

overhead bothers them. Retailers, they
