RELICS

The following relics were used and
on exhibition at the 10th Anniversary
Services at CreagerStown on June 4:
The Schlatter Communion Service,
consisting of fiagon of German sill
yer, beautifully decorated and orna
mented and the date, 1747, stamped
on it, and also the letters V. w. & v.
G. R., which no one as yet has been
able to interpret and say what they
stand for, which no doubt would throw
much light on the history of it. 1t is
in excellent condition. Also a goblet
shaped chalice of same age and a
bread plate. This piece was made in
London, England, as it has London"
stamped on the back of it, and no
doubt Schlatter brought it along from
London in 1746, when he came to A
merica. The above pieces were used
in the Communion and are the oldest
Communion pieces in the Reformed
Church in America, and it was high
privilege to share in this Communion.
Then, also, was used the Schlatter
Baptismal Bowl dating back to 1747,
and brought from London, in baptiz-
ing children. This also is in perfect
condition, and is made of pewter. We
also used Baptismal Bowl of beauti-
full luster finish that was used at APP
pies Church $50 years ago. This bowl
is rare. 1t came into the possession
of lady in New York City, but it will
be reclaimed and placed in the Histor-
ical Society in Lancaster.
A very interesting Communion Ser
vice is the one found by DIR. Heimer
during the repairing of the Creagers-
town church. 1t is pewter fiagon
with "1762" and III. M. w. M. D."
stamped on it. The letters have not
been interpreted yet. On the bottom
is stamped II. C. H." and Lancaster"
evidently made in Lancaster by l. C.
H., whoever that was.
The chalice is very odd and rare. 1t
is mug shaped, with one handle, and
rather heavy. 1t has on it the stamp
of an English crown and lettered "W.
R."
We also have rare chalice with
two handles-formerly used by and
belonged to Apples Church-very old
but now in private hands. We hope
to reclaim it for the church.
Besides the above old and rare relics
we had a number of china collection
and bread plates belonging to Apples,
the Glade and Utica Churches. They
are beautifully decorated and in good
shape. Also beautiful silver Baptis
NAL Font, used in the old Glade
Church. In addition we had all the
intervening Communion sets exhibited
up to the present including the indi-
vidual set which was continuous his
torical communion and baptismal SER
vice from 1747 to 1922, something very
unusual to have.
AS for collection devices we have a
jingle bag, three old baskets and a
number of various kinds of plates.
These relics were much appreciated
and admired. We thank our friends
for loaning some of them to us and
for all the interest manifested in aid
ing to have such fine display of rare
relics and hope the interest may con-
tinue and the undersigned will be
glad to be informed of any new finds"
of relics.

Do you know that nine out of every

rheumatism of the muscles or chronic
rheumatism. neither of which require
any internal treatment. The pain may
be relieved by applying Chamberlain's
Liniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
great deal to any one afflicted with

Strong List Of
Go-Getters Named
to Heirloom City

Just to show that they are in
earnest in this little matter Of boom
ing Augusta the Board of Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce have
named two committees of go get
ters" with instructions to leave no
stone unturned during the next year
whose turning will bring a dollars
worth Of additional business to this
city. Industries and conventions are
the live issues; industries because
Augusta can actually manufacture
goods more cheaply than hundreds
of present industrial centers where
people have to live miles from their
work in outrageously high priced
rents and must offset this cost by
high wages, and conventions, because
our location is the most accessible in
Maine and our attractions unequalled
for convention visitors.
The new industries "go getters"
are all members of the board Of d.
rectors and are as follows: Ernest A.
Gray. chairman; A. N. Soule and
Blaine S. Viles, an especially strong
com bination and very representative
of the city. Augusta people proba bly,
are unaware of the work that has
been done during the past year along
these lines by the Chamber OF Com
merce. Three promising new indus
tries have been here to look over the
city. Two of these we were unable
to accommodate and the third is still
pending. We have had 10 or Is of

the so-caHed Sucker" propositions
in which the city has to give tax ex-
cmption, free land and a jolly good
pot Of money to all of which the
Chamber of Commerce, through it's
secretary, had to reply mot this
time, no thanks" There Is certainly
work for a wide awake new indus
tries committee.
The convention go-getters are to
be as follows: George w. Merrill
chairman; Henry G. Barker. Lester
LaBreck, William Condor and f. =.
Purinton, representing merchants,
restaurant Keepers and hotel men.
This committee will work out a plan
of handling conventions as to accom-
modations and will canvass the city
for available rooms. They will also
work out q reduced rate meal ticket
for conventions of over two days
standing thus giving visitors a semi
transient instead of transient rate
They will get out a booklet showing
the attractions of the city from
convention standpoint and adopt an
Augusta policy towards conventions.

lis hard player and good shot, es-
pecially on the long ones. He is also
good in the team work and passing
and is the proper man for his place at
forward.
Benn, at center, is the pivot around
which the team revolved. He is a
strong hard player, Il good shot and
the only man on the team that has
had previous experience.
Plummer at forward has shown
much Improvement this year and has
developed into smooth passing and
shooting player.
! Prime who plays at either center or
forward is a valuable man both in
general team play and in the jump
ing position.
! Hall at guard is a hard player, a
fine shot and does remarkably well
considering his size.
! Davis at guard has probably Shown
more improvement this year tfran any
other member Of the team. He has
been All excellent stationary guard
and has been responsible for breaking
up many Of the opponents dangerous
offensive plays.
One Of the men who has contribut
cd much to the success Of the team
is Overlook. He is the manager and
has performed his duties in a thor
toughly satisfactory manner. He has

Silver Tong.ued
Californian to
Speak at Dinner

we wish that thousand men
could rise UP and preach that doc
trine." Such was the frankly ex-
Senator George Wilder Cartwright
by the business men Of Auburn in
his recent appearance before the
Chamber of Commerce of that city.
What is wrong with business and
how can American business men get
grip on the business that has APP
parently slipped from their hands
during the past two years? What
can Mr.. Average Citizen do to help
overcome present business stagna-
ton? These are questions that
thinking business men want answer
ed and it is just such fundamentals
that are being discussed by Senator
Cartwright in his address on "Busi-
ness Revival" which is free and
open to the public.
Senator Cartwright comes to Au-
gusta Wednesday and speaks at q
dinner to be given in his honor by
the Augusta Chamber of Commerce
at the Augusta House. He is making
a tour from California to Maine under
the direction of the American Edu-
cational Association of which he is
vice president. AS he states in a
personal letter to Secretary Clarke
Il am talking on fundamental eco
nomics in industry that this coun-
try must learn if we are to retain
our proud place in the procession OF
nations"

With an even dozen games played
and only one defedt during the sea-
son of 1921-1922 the "Y" Cubs have
finished a hard schedule with credit
to themselves and to Coach Sanborn
who has worked so hard training the
players.
This team claims the championship
OF the State for team averaging 1870
pounds. They have played teams of
much heavier men and have won, the
only time that they were beaten dur
ing the entire season being when
they went to Wilton to play the fast
and heavy Wilton Academy team.
All of the players with one excep-
ton have been developed from mex
pcrienced players and all are boys
who work either every day or else go
to school and work in the afternoon.
They have developed into team in
which team work and a fighting but
clean spirit is dominant.
| They have been faithful in their
practice. going each night to the

The team was picked and trained by

has put in much time to develop them
into the players that they are now.

boys that the others will follow. He

From. as far back as many of us
the expression AS free as the air
you breathe"
With the remarkable developments
recently made in the art of wireless
or Radio Telephony and the great
interest which is being taken by
thousands in the broadcast programs
of lectures and music there arises q
problem which must soon be solved
that Radio Telephony is not a pass
ing fad is certain, the future OF the
art can hardly be realized and the
benefits as an educator are well rec
ognized. To be able to sit in the
comforts of ones home and listen to
the voice of some noted singer in
Pittsburg or Newark or to hear the
spoken words of the lecturer hum
dreds of miles away is now possible
and many people here in, Augusta
are daily enjoying these broadcast
programs.
Before we had radio telephones we
had wireless telcgraphy and thous-
ands of amateur wireless stations
were assembled by boys and they de-
rived from them great amount OF
valuable education and knowledge of
the art Most of these amateur sets
were Of home construction from SIM
pie material, usually consisting Of an
automobile spark coil and a sending
key-boys are still setting up these
telegraph sets and are still enjoying
them. No one really wants to deny
them that pleasure. still to the owner
of q radio phone they can be nothing
other than q nuisance unless their
activities are curbed to q certain eX-
tent, as it is fact that an amateur
with a Ford spark coil and few
dry batteries can SO tanGle up the
local ether near his station that the
transmitted voice waves from dis
tant broadcast stations cannot be am
plified to the point that they are dis
tinctly audible without also amplify-
ing his dots and dasheS-therefore
while he is sending nothing else can
be heard. 1t is comparable to vio-
lin solo and a brass band both in the
same room playing different selec-
tons at the same time.

not interfere with the radio programs
as it is transmitted on a longer
