Original Monoloeue, "SheII Shock a
la MadamoiseIle," Will Be Given by
1t. Dangerous" Dan McGrew -
Other Fine Features
How many of us appreciate the ac-
tivities of the Boy Scouts of Augusta
Do we realize that they have never
failed to answer, 100 per cent. strong,
every call for patriotic, benevolent
or charity workers in this city? Re-
call their invaluable aid in putting
Augusta cover the top" in the Liber-
ty Bond drives, the War Saving
Stamp sales, collecting books and
magazines for the boys in the trench
es and clothing for the Salvation
Army. And then remember their
help incur cleanup campaigns and
innumerable other instances. No one
can deny that Augusta owes a great
deal to her Boy Scouts and now there
is presented an opportunity for our
citizens to repay, in small way, our
debt to them-by liberal support of
the entertainment to be given by
Troop 2, Boy Scouts, in City hall on
Friday, June 3. "
The feature of the entertainment
will be the original monologue, "Shell
Shock a la MademoiseIle," by Lieut..
Dangerous" Dan McGrew. Danger
Gus" Dan needs no introduction as he
has appeared before many Maine au-
diences and is the author of the pine
| Tree Legion" now running in the
Lewiston Journal. His sketch is a
riot of fun from start to finish.
Another feature of the evening
will be Augustus favorite baritone
soloist, Bryce Little, and the Pine
Tree Legion quartette. Dancing will
be enjoyed after the entertainment,
with music by Douglas orchestra.
Reserved seats will be on sale at
Fletcher's Pharmacy after A. NJ,
June I. Remember your debt to the
Boy Scouts.

PosToFFIcE HANDLES THOUSANDS
 OF CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

It was a tired looking group Of men that distributed and sorted mail at the local u3st office yon Friday evening just at the close of the biggest day in the his tory of the local post office. These mon had been on their feet for 12 to 16' hours trying to get off the enormous Christmas mail that flooded the post of fee on Friday and to distribute the mai, for the Norwich people which had arriv- ed by the hundreds of sacks on each train.
 When it came quitting time the men dragged themselves home and will be on t!-e job bright and early this morning to see that local people get the Christmas packages on time. Little does the ma lrity of people realize the amount of work that Is entailed at such a time as his and if they could have seen the in- erior of the local office on Friday even ing they would have wondered how about Is or 20 men could have handled such 8 quantity of mail with so little confusi n. Every man knew what to do and the 1 work went on wittsut a hitch. In the basement of the office there were thou | sands of parcel post packages ready for delivery the first thing thit morning. I The carriers will leave the office this n1erning laden with thousands of letters and postcards.
 A little of the amount of work that the office force, carriers, parcel post drivers special delivery men, and rural carriers, do can be realized when over TOO sacks of | incoming mail were handled and over ] 500 sacks of outgoing mai left the office
 The special delivery men at;ne handled
 over 25o packages and the parcel rost packages numbered into the thousands There were in addition thousands of let 1 ters delivered.
 The letters that passed through the can
 ceiling machine on Friday numbered 34,- l 900 and about 5000 were canceled by hand, the letters being of odd sizes that
 could not be handled by the cance1ins l machine.
 l The spbstati9n at the Thayer building | which closed on Friday evening 6id | good business and about 4h0 packages 1 were insured while there were as nan. more that were not insured James L l Tourtellotte and John Burns were il
 charge.
 | Postmaster Murphy said on Friday ev
 enfng that the business done at the post
 office during the day was by far tn
 greatest that he had ever seen and tlla this Christmas for a3n1e unknown req
 son was he largest in the history of tn
 ofioe. Not only is this fact true Of tn
