Never has the British been more
a one-man Government than it has
been under Lloyd George. He is a

further relaxation on Sunday eve-

privacy Of his home. For six out Of
every seven days, however, he is
generally working on six cylinders.

Mr.. Gannett's purpose in going

the. world by the air route as soon as
lines are established and by the pro-
gress that is being made, he states
that it looks as If that time is not far
distant.
The longest flight that he made in
one day was 600 miles. leaving Paris
in the morning and going to Stras-
bourg, Alsace-Lorraine. where he
had dinner. While there he saw the
wonderful Apostolic clock. The re
turn to Paris was made in the after

just six hours.
A very pleasant trip was that
which Mr.. Gannett made on the
aerial express flying between Paris
and Belgium. This large plane is
driven by twin engines and has a
carrying capacity Of Is passengers.
During the 300-mile flight from Am
sterdam to London, he witnessed a
number - the ships sunk in the late

large shells had thrown up the earth.
In the two months that Mr.. Gan
nett was overseas, he visited in Eng
land. France, Switzerland, Alsace-

did not go into Germany for lack of
time and on account of the strikes in
Italy he did not visit that country.

while abroad.
Mr.. Gannett was at Geneva. Swift
zerland. at the time of the Gordon
Bennett balloon races in which 40
balloons competed. While in Swift

the order of the day there. and

Hardware Dealers Association which
was held Thursday evening at the
Augusta House, w. A. Clough of
Rumford was elected president; Ed
win Reed of Augusta, vice president
and A. Donald Weston of Mocha mic
Falls, secretary and treasurer
A fine banquet was served in the

| ton, who had as their guests: Ma

After the banquet, the members Of
the association held a group meet
ing in which various questions per-
tinent to the hardware trade were
discussed. One of the questions was
that of craftsmanship. LEV S. Soule
Of the Hardware Age" spoke fret on
the subject, giving his beliefs as
formed both in his work as a hard
ware salesman and later as he tray-
eled over the country visiting more
than 5000 hardware stores. He said
first that the larger part of the hard
ware clerks We're usually lacking in
craftsmanship, which was not their
fault as they had not received the
training which they should. He
stated that in his telief any man of
ordinary intelligence could be taught
to sell hardware and that it should
be done out of justice to him and his
employer.
He then laid down a number Of
rules regarding courtesy, attentive
ness and such things and then went
more into detail over the actual work
of making a sale, including the psy-
Geological time in which to strike
the customer for another sale on
some allied line.
Another question which was taken
up was that of the Hardware Mems
Mutual Insurance. This was handled
in an able manner by George NJ
Gray, secretary of the Ohio Mutual.
He has a thorough knowledge Of the
subject and gave the men many valu
able points on their insurance and
how to know if it was as valuable to
them as it might be.
Several other questions were
taken up at the meeting, all of them
being handled by man with a
| thorough knowledge of the subject
under discussion and then being
opened to the meeting that all might
ask any questions which came tc
| their mind
