Hunters Tote
Home Big Game;
One Gets a "Gump"

A party Of mighty hunters re-
turned Saturday morning from a
highly successful trip. The result Of
their skill was on exhibit in front
of the Brooks Hardware Co.'S store
all day Saturday and was the center
Of admiration and envy for the busy
Saturday shoppers.
w. p. Perry got one buck. one doe,
one "Gump" and five birds; r. l..
Wardwell, one buck, one doe, five
birds; J. D. Newman, one buck, five
birds; A. N. Soule. one doe, five
birds; E. L. Merrill, one doe, FIVE
birds.
The secretary Of the club makes
the following report in regard to the
trip: The party had headquarters at
Tracy Bros. camps, on the east
/ branch Of the Penobscot river, II
ers certainly brought home the
bacon" The Tracy Bros. are both
first class guides and their wives
are fine cooks Gas the hunters will
testify the camps are new and
comfortable and plenty Of game in
! this section-all of these essential
| things combined. made a very sue
| cessful outing for the Augusta BUSH
ness men.
The "Gump" that was shot by Mr..
| Perry is said to be very rare ami
NAL, in fact they are not >ntioned
in the game laws as they are now
considered extinct. The information
impaired by the hunters is that the
"Gump'' has feet shaped like a snow
shoe, head that resembles a rabbit
and body the color Of deer but the
remarkable thing about this animal
is that the two legs on one side are
shorter than the two on the other
side, which is accounted for by the
fact that they run around the noun
tain tops in one direction only-the
short legs on the uphill side. 1t has
been intimated that Mr.. Newman
had a very narrow escape while in
camp. but none Of the hunters have
as yet given it for publication. but

IDEA BIG DINNER
FOR LEGION BOYS
MEETS HIGH FAVOR

Elaborate plans are being made
for the big public dinner to be given
next Saturday in honor of the Amer
lean Legion as fitting means Of
celebrating Armistice Day. The plan
met with instant favor among the
business men of Augusta and it is
gratifying that the outstanding men
of the community are enrolling as
hosts" for the occasion. The Cham
Der OF Commerce is acting as the
representative of the citizen3 and has
extended the invitation to the Amer
lean Legion in behalf of the citizens
Of Augusta.
No man is permitted to pay for
two dinners and stay at home, I'm.
less he is to be out of town for the
day. He is expected, under the plan.
to be present in person and to take
one Legion boy to table as his per-
sonal guest. Thus better under
standing will be promoted between
the business interests and the men,
bers of the Legion and this recogni-
ton Of the Legion as a community
force will be, it is hoped. the means
of showing to eX-service men who
have not enrolled as members that
the public has accepted the leader
ship Of the Legion in matters re-
lating to Nthe Great War and the
preservation of it's spiritual values.
Hon. Benedict +. Maher, well
serve as POSTMASTER, he having
been chosen for this honor by the
Legion men themselves, which is at
the same time a tribute to his ability
and to the high esteem in which the
Legion men hold him. There will
be two other speakers, one named
by the Legion who will present the
program and ideals of the American
Legion both from its national and
local standpoints and one named By
the Augusta Chamber of Commerce
who will be expected to point out
the duty Of the citizenship towards
these men of the Army of 1917"
and the great work which they rep
resent.
Time has been too short to reach
each business and professional man
in Augusta to personally invite him
to take part The affair is open to
anyone who cares to. act as hoss to
one member of the Legion and by
notifying Secretary Clarke at the
Chamber of Commerce arrange
ments can be made anytime this
week and, in case one is not ac-
quainted with a Legion boy whom
he desires to invite personally, one
of the members will be assigned to
him by the committee in charge.

Waiting in line for the sale to open
will be absolutely unnecessary and it
will be of no advantage for patrons
to arrive at City Hall earlier than Z

doors of the hall will be opened and
as patrons enter they can draw by
lot, numbered cards, the number on
each card designating the ticket win
dow and the patrons turn at same.
The last person to enter the hall
stands as good an opportunity as the

DR.. Struck Tells
Ways Improving
Work of FOremen

Many of the industries which are
sending representatives TO the Fore
man Leader Conference to be held at
Brunswick. Nov. els, are very much
interested in a recent article by DR..
Struck of Pennsylvania in which he
mentions five ways of improving
foremanship.
"a BY means of trial and error"
on the job.
co BY means Of reading and in
dividual home study.
go BY means of organized home
study or correspondence courses.
ca By means of lectures or illus
trated talks.
60 BY means of foreman confer
cnces.
Notifications of the intensive
round table conference method of
improving foremanship, are being
used quite extensively in Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere. Frequently,
this takes the form of general
meeting that may be attended by
several foremen. At this meeting,
some person presents or opens. the
discussion Of some problem of
mutual interest. At the conclusion of
this presentation, the foremcn divide
into small discussion groups Of from
ten to twenty persons. Each of such
groups is in charge of a discussion
leader. All discussion leaders meet
before. or at the close of the con-
ference to compare results, and to
plan for the next conference"
The conference called at Bruins
wick is for the purpose of training
conference leaders and representa-
tives who will train leaders.
