Bakhmetef the Table Talk of Capital

Is a simple proposal to have Mr..

Senator Borah wants to get the am
bassador to give details about what

Mary Mcdowell Visits Czechosloval<ia

Miss Mary Mcdowell of Chicago.
well known as a student and worker
In sociology, sailed for Czechoslovakia
after the Pan-American conference
for women in Baltimore. She will
be the guest of President Masaryk
and his daughters on six-months'
vacation. While declaring that the
Journey was nOminally a vacation In
Czechoslovakia, taken at the instiga-
ton of Miss Alice Masaryk, Miss Nc
Dowell admitted that she would not
be idle during her stay in the re-
public, but would devote much time
to the study of the position of women
in the state.
Probably a more exact statement
of Miss McDowell's trip to Europe
is that the government of Czecho-
slovakia has requested Miss Mcdowell
to iaaugurate and organize in that
country the system of social settle
ment work which she has directed so
long and so successfully in Chicago.

department. Washington is still talk
ing of the action of President Har-
ding, who, in the most sweeping dis
charge order in years, dismissed

to the attention of the President to
sections of United States statutes stat
ing that no person in the classified
civil service shall be removed except
after being given the charges against
him in writing and being given time
to answer same in writing.

Hebron Tries Out
Daylight Saving

Hebron, Me-. Jan. 9.-The authorities
Of Hebron Ace denny today put into OPP
Grafton a new plan of hours that is
intended to save" daylight for the SUI
dents. The new schedule provides or
a recreation PC: cd of two AMI thr se-
quarters hours to come at the
middle of the day instead of
late in the afternoon as has
been the custom in Hebron for
many years. The new plan Of hours
will be as follows: Recitation from
$50 until 11.40 A. M; dinner and rec
reation period until 3.15 p. NJ; recit,.-
tiJla te.--.i until 5.25 p. NJ.
The new plan is on trial for ,ne
week and if found to be practical will
be adopted for the winter months. AZ
darkness falls so early in the af~cr-
noon now the recreation period has
been very brief and chance for students
to enjoy any outdoor sports has been
small Now the best part of the day
will be passed out Of doors and studies
Will be continued late in the after
noon. The plan Is entirely a novel ora
but many practical benefits may be
derived from it's adoption.

RETURN BOUT WALKER AND DUDE
SHOULD PROVE SIZZLING AFFAIR

Johnny Walker who halls from
Biddeford, Me-, assured his personal
friends that he will knock out Kid
DUDE this Friday night when they
meet at the City hall, Augusta.
Walker claims that the last time
that they met he was not in the best
Of condition and he is now training
hard to accomplish what no other
featherweight could do. Although
Walker won the decision rendered
by the newspaper in their last en-
counter he said he was not sure of
himself to go out and fight the tough
DUDE the way he wanted to but was
just satisfied on outboxing him but
this time he declares he is going to
use different tactics. He plans to be
the aggressor and tear right at DUDE
and sweep him off his feet. If Walk
er carries out his plans it should be
one of the greatest fights ever wit
messed in the State of Maine. DUDE
who left after his last fight and went
to New York defeated Sid Bernard
at the Ridgewood A. C. Of that city
DUDE after the last fight claimed that
he was not feeling at his best and
requested another match.
Besides this match, matchmaker
Louis Dutil has secured the services
of Kid Clarke. the wandering negro,
who has defeated Kid Magno in five
rounds. Jeff Smith in one round, gave
Kid Pinard a handsome lacing, with
Pony Brown of Portland who is
known as the knockout king amongst
the bantams.

Old Trotting Park
Property at Foxcroft
Now But a Memory

Dover FoXcrOft, Maine, Janu-
AIRY at the annual meeting OF
the Piscataquis Agricultural So
ciety~ it was voted to sell the
land at the Foxcroft park within the
fence to the John MacGregor Cor
poration, the purchase price being
agreed upon as $4,000, and that the
balance remaining from the sale Of
that property and two lots on the
west side of the park. after a mort
gage and certain other bills against
the society are paid, shall be given to
the town of Dover Foxcroft to be
used towards buying a playground.
1t is thought that something like
$1,000 will be left for that purpose.
The primary reason for the sale of
the park is the fact that the insur-
ance companies have demanded that
the MacGregor Corporation shall
spread it's stock over more ground
so that the fire risk shall be lessened,
and that land Is all there Is available
a valuable asset to the town and the
members of the Agricultural Society
were disposed to meet its needs in
the matter. Besides that. the price
is a liberal one, and when the Cor
poration removes the old fence and
makes other changes. the appearance
of upper Park street will be greatly
improved.
The park property has been Idle
for a number of years. no county fair
or horse racing having been held
there, and the fence surrounding the
property having fallen into a decided
~ dclapidated state, and the DISPOSE
ton made of the land, with the i'm
provements it insures, seems. an ex-
cellent one in every way. Fora long
time, the need of community play
ground has been felt, and the action
taken by the Agricultural Society in
the matter will be appreciated.
The meeting OF the Agricultural
Society was held at the Office of c.
w. & H. NJ. Hayes. and officers and
directors were elected as follows:
c. w. Hayes: secretary.
Alton ]. McNaughton; treasurer, Lis
ton p. Evans. Directors: G. w.
Hayes. T.. p. Evans. A. ]. McNaugh-
ton, Willis S. Ham, John T. Aver, AL

Unity Town and School
Teams Win Basketball

Unity. Me- Jan. 9.-Two games Of
basketball were played in the I. O. o. F.
hall at Unity Friday evening. Jan. s,
before a crowd of 800. The town team
won from Brooks A. A. 81 to 8, while
the high school beat Erskine Academy
IS to 8. The crowd was disappointed
because the scores were too one-sided
to make the games interesting.
Unity town team was looking for a
hard game as they had previously beer
beaten by Brooks 1926. Brooks, how
ever, brought up a poor team ami
showed no fight when they did play.
Farwell and Benson each scored eight
baskets from the floor. while the gem
eral all around work of Carnegie was
a feature.
The high school, even without its
full varsity strength. had no trouble in
winning from Erskine. Although the
Erskine boys covered we'll they showed
their lack Of experience. Murch scored
eight baskets from the floor. Sidney
GRAHAM played fine defensive game.
