Thanksgiving Day Observed
in Quiet Way at Waterville

Thanksgiving in Waterville passed
very quietly from the point of view
of most people. On Main street prac-
tically all business was at a stand
still and throughout the greater part
of the day there were very few peo-
pie on the street. Two football
games between local teams stirred
up a little excitement but outside of
these there was very little amuse-
ment in the sporting world. Many
people in the city entertained guests
for the day or went away over the
holiday.
The weather in Waterville was
very good. The morning dawned
bright and clear but by noon the
sky was overhung with clouds and q
chilly wind swept the city. Late in
the afternoon the sun came out once
again and the evening was clear and
cold. The mercury stayed around
the freezing point all day long and
autoists were able to travel about
without any difficulty as all of the
bad mudholes in the city were froz-
en- hard enough. to bear the weight
of car. Railroad traffic was a de-
cided contrast from Wednesday
when the train due from Portland at
SIS p. NJ. arrived 30 minutes late
with Ia cars attached, every one
loaded with people.

Death of Well Known SargentyiIle
Man


Sargentville, Nov. 28-Our COM
munity has been greatly saddened by
the death of Azor c. Dodge which
occurred at his home in this village,
November 23, after a short illness.
Mr.. Dodge was born in Bluehill on
July 8, 1913. For the past so years
he has resided in Sargentyille, always
the same kindhearted neighbor, re-
spected and loved, with a CHEEKY
smile and hearty hand-clasp for all
with words and deeds of comfort for
any who were in trouble.
He first united with the Baptist
church in Bluehill, later joining by
letter the First Baptist church In
Sedgwick. He was one of the charter
members of the Christian Endeavor
society here, and for 36 years has
been one of its faithful members
and at the time, of his death the old
est active member, Nman to be de-
pended upon, one whoa ever cheer
full service as leader at the Sunday
and Tuesday evening meetings, will
be long remembered
He taught the mems Bible class in
the Sunday school, where his chair
was seldom vacant. For some years
he has acted as janitor at the chapel.
performing well the duties OF that
Office.
He was a Mason and a Civil War
veteran, being the last survivor of
that body in this town.

Pejepscot Fleet to Tie Up in Belfast
Turkey Price
Drops to 20 Cents
in Boston Markets

Boston. Nov. 2S.-After a few
DAVIS of prenlonitory shivering, the
bottom dropped cheerfully out Of the
Boston turkey market last night.
Fresh killed birds which were selling
for IS cents a pound a week ago and
as cents a pound yesterday morning
were marked down at 9 o'clock last
night to an average level of 20 cents.
and nobody was getting killed in the
buying rush. Then they droppe to
20 cents. with a choice of turkey,
goose, duck or chicken.
Turkeys were being bought all
rightly the hundreds and tens OF
hundreds. The bargain hunters were
out, however, and the dealers had to
auction off their gobblers as they
would pixie birds for a poultry show.
Ten turks sprung out of cellars and
in from railway sidings for every
one that went over the counter, and
only the fancy selections got wrap
ped up and taken home. sQi
Still last night was busy night
along the highways and byways of
the market district. Up until mid
night and after, the jostling foragers
milled up and down between the
stands and the push-carts. Where
the nipping wind of last Thanks
giving eve howled along deserted
streets and where few dozen pretty
but unwanted turkeys hung in aris-
tocratic aloofness over rs and so
cent tags, this year there was a COM
Portable flood of moonlight over a
busy crowd loading down it's baskets,
flivvers, wheelbarrows, and limou-
sines with AL eats at popular prices.
Even the weather man did his bit
to broadcast good appetities and en-
courage after supper shoppers.
Boston folks put turkey on their
menu this year for the same reason
the hungry Plymouth colonists picked
the big bird for the place of honor on
the red checked tablecloth. 1t was the
cheapest meat and the handiest meat
in the market.

Predicts Mild Winter

WATERFORD, Me-, Nov. 2S--One:eyed
Bill Smith of Things Mills has brok-
en- his silence and announces to the
world that the Winter of 1924 is
to be very mild.
He was found summing himself on
his front piazza, hatless and coat
less, and then and there he declared
that those persons hauling in great
loads of wood in anticipation of a
record breaking Winter were bound
to be fooled once in their sweet life.
His deductions are based on certain
phenomena in the animal and vege-
table kingdom, notably the apparent
latk of foresight shown by the ants
in making no great preparation for
cold weather, and he also states that
the pine trees are developing a thick
silver, that indicates continued warm
weather.

Whereas, it is especially fitting
that on the Sunday following our
annual day of Thanksgiving, FEAST

vouchsafed to our prosperous nation,
we should turn our thoughts to the
needs of the less highly favored;
and then make as generous a thank
offering as possible to Near East Re-

live and grow into useful, self-sup-
porting men and women:
Therefore, i, Leon o. Tebbetts,
Mayor of the City of Waterville, do
proclaim December 2, 1928. Inter-
national Golden Rule Sunday, and
earnestly urge all Of our people,
children as well as grown people, to
respond to the call, realizing the
spiritual value of the observance in
national and personal life.

gle meal for their children is a trag-
ic demonstration of that realization.
Rural Germany fares better than
the cities and larger towns. The
peasants have good crops, and they
have little sympathy with the food
rioting in the cities. That spells
Bolshevism to them. If they go to
cities with their produce they fear
, they will be attacked by the food RI
oters and robbed of their produce.
MIX and butter and meat are still
obtainable in the smaller towns and
country, and the gentry is relatively
not badly situated for the moment.
But their time is coming when gold
taxes must be levied and collected,
! as they must be to meet Germany's
obligations. When all realty begins
to bear the burden to pay Germany's
obligations rents must be advanced
/ to point which will drive home the
sting of defeat.
Foreigners who come to Germany
with the impression that Germans are
having comparatively easy time and
are escaping the consequences Of the
war soon realize that the average
mans lot in Germany is pretty hard.
And the average woman's lot is hard
or. Keeping the family fed and
,, clothed is. maddening problem in
these days Of shrunken incomes and
fantastic prices.
Shabbiness and want are in such
general evidence that the few tour
lists who invade Germany do not stay
long. It is a poor place for pleasure
/ seeking.
There can be little doubt that the
great majority Of Germans of all
classes now realize they lost the
war. They realize 1t with great Bit
terness for the most part. perhaps.
This bitterness directs itself chiefly
AGAINST the French. The United
states and Italy is seldom mentioned.
England is excused in a measure
British criticism of the French Occur
patton of the Ruhr has softened the
attitude toward England.
