in striking pose in mid-air and be-
meath it is an announcement of a
special three day carnival sale in
which the stores showing posters are
participating.
Each store entering this cooper
alive sale has agreed to offer two
bona fide bargains at cost or less in
sufficient quantity to sustain the sale
for three days. With visitors from
Fort Kent to York Village and from
various out of State cities this winter
carnival affords the Augusta mer-
chants an opportunity to show their
good will and the wide range and ex-
ceptional quality Of goods carried.
1t seems likely that every visitor,
especially the young men from the
various competing schools, will want
some useful article as a souvenir of
the carnival. To meet this demand

Premier Ski-Jumpers
Will Give Exhibition
at GanneStOn Park

When one thinks Of winter sports,
he thinks first of a winter carnival;
when he thinks of winter carnivals,
he thinks of spectacular ski fjump-
ing. 1t has been the aim of the Au-
gusta committee to demonstrate in
this seasons carnival that there is a
lot more to winter sports than mere
ski-jumping. Very little has been
said in this seas"n's publicity about
that exciting form of winter pastime
The committee has not been negli-
gent. however. nor unmindful of the
pull of this spectacular feat and there
will be ski jumping galore with the
cream of the Berlin jumpers and in
lmitable Adolph Olson of Portland as
top liners. The exhibition ski jump
ing this season will be fully the equal
of last seasons classic but it will
have an added feature, that of COM
parlson with the local and State of
Maine performers. Last season local
people were nOvices in the art and
science of ski jumping; this year we
