JOKE NOW IS A COMEDY
Bv LOUIS II. JAFFE

WITH the suspension of Dave Rosen =
w berg in New York. the middle
weight mess is muddled up worse than
ever, from Gotham standpoint. since
the commission there stepped in and
took the privilege Of "dcposing' Johnny
Wilson.
1t was bad enough to have hst-
man la fromage as title-hc.der. But
decisions of the CommiSh in the last
few months have developed the middle
weight division into a nice and mys-
terious Chinese puzzle.
For "running out" Of match with
Harry Grcb. Wilson was erased from
the championship picture. Then. after
the latter was handed the title. Harry
had it taken away from him because
he would not meet one of several OPP
ponrnts picked for him by the Com
mission.
Rosenberg was the next man to get
1.-THE present" from boxing rulers in
New York, and with Dave being de-
throneSl for the same reason Grcb was
uncrownrd. the fans have been getting
ggGlc after giggle. until now the joke
has developed into n regular comedy.
Really. it is to gulf0w, or something
ike that.

out a formal challenge ON his behalf

The Editor st. Crojr AUj8",
Mr.. Editor;---
AS our final word to those who
have not hesitated to chronicle Us as
Ignorant because we understand Eng
lish in the only way we can understand
it, permit US to. say that the notice from
Government of May 5, states that Ram
say, Cooean & Co., Inc. ARE hereby
DECLARED to be DISSOLVED and shall
be extinct in all respects, which means
that the corporation was dissolved with
and on the Gate of appearance Of that
notice. Mr.. Coogan seems to overlook
that are declared to be djssotUed is the
same as IS DISSOLVED. Even in our ''ig-
norance'' we can un< erstand that. The
quotation in today's paper omits the last
part of Section % which would appear
to apply to this case, and not the part
quoted as the four notices have not 40.
peared previous to the Governments.
The conclusion of Section % makes the
Governments notice clearer than ever.
Feeling that we shall not be contra
dicted by students Of English, this is de-
clared to be our last letter on the subject.
Truly yours,
BUSINESS MEN.

KIDDIES TO BE
BIG FEATURE OF
FOURTH PARADE

The Riddles of Augusta are going to
have section all their own in the
Fourth of July parade
The Independence Day procession
promises to be one of the biggest of
the kind ever staged in Augusta.
And it will be up to the Riddles to
heip make the thing as big as planned,
The parade committee has decided
that there could be nothing more in
terestlng than to have the boys and
girls of the city mount their BICYCLES
and ride in the parade. Any boy or
girl who owns Il wheel or can borrow
one is invited to take part. Prizes will
be offered for the best decorated bikes
as well as the most original ideas.
These prizes will be just what the
youngsters Wart, for they will be the
latest and most up-to-the minute at
tachments for their wheels. The only
condition is that those who take part
either be in costume themselves or
decorate their two-wheeled conveyance.
No one will be required to cater his o..
her name in advance, but it will be
convenience for the committee if those
who plan to tide in the parade file
their names at Eifield Bros. This will
give the members of the committee an
idea as to how many will participate
as well as provide a correct list of
names when it comes to the awarding
of prizes.
But this bicycle section will not be
the only good thing in the Fourth of
July parade. There will be six di-
visions in all: The military, the visi--
ing firemen, decorated foates from
firms and organizations, decorated au-
tomobiles, the bicycle section and the
horribles, who will bring up the rear
but will be one of the most interest
ing features of the whole procession.
Invitations are extended to every
one to take part to boost the parade
Prizes will be given for each section
other than the military and fremen
Except in the case of the bicycle di-
vision, these .'rizes will be in cash.

This contest included the award
of six prizes which were distributed
throughout the State from Aroostook
to SagadahOc, ana called forth IA
vOrable comment from the press
wherever it was noticed.
Their other notable enterprise was
the successful session of the members
of the Association which was held at
the Chcckley House at Prouts Neck.
on Casco Bay, in mid June OF 1871,
at WHICH several of the country's
abest life insurance agents and the
officers of several OF the leading
companies contributed valuable
stories of their experiences and in
apired the hundreds Of enthusiastic
men present with their high ideals
of the heneficience of the institution
of life insurance in America.
Every man who was present en-
dorsed the Congress as being source
of education and new enthusiasm
for their work, and of information as
to the far reaching and continuous
benefits from life insurance pay
mcnt5 to policy holders and their de-
penao hts through assured educational
privileges to orphans and comforts
for the aged policy holders them
selves.
The advantages of the Congress to
the agents who participated have
been conspicuous in their effective
use of the new and better methods
represented by the most successful
men i'll the profession.
