After being held at the Augusta
police station since Monday, r. L.
Larsen of Rockland and New York,
who was brought back to this city
from the Knox county city on a
warrant sworn out by a local auto
mobile dealer, charging conversion
of property. was arraigned in NUM-
cipal court Tuesday. Having re-
covered the automobile which Lar
sen drove to Rockland, the Augusta
dealers preferred not to press this
change. and Larsen's appearance in
CONT yesterday was to explain Ger
tain ether difficulties in the matter
of his hotel bill at the North, and
money which he owed to Gage and
King, accessory dealers, of this city.
On questioning by Judge Cony,
Larsen stated that it was his in
tention to fully pay up his debts
here, If given an opportunity, and to
enable the man to make good his
promise to the court, the case against
him was continued for then days.
The Augusta officers received
a request from Sheriff Thurston of
Rockland to hold Larson for the
Rockland officers. where it was re-
ported that he was wanted in con-
nection with passing worthless
check. Larsen was quite confident
that he would be able to straighten
this Rockland matter out all right.

Kennebec Valley
Gets Benefit of
Rexall Bargains

There Is undoubtedly no more ef-
ficient. more widely known, nor bet
ter advertised retail merchandising
system in the United States today
than that of the Liggett and Rexall
stores. The success of these stores
has been secured through their abil-
ity to sell to the public, drug. food
and other products of the highest
quality at remarkably low prices.
and they have been able to do this
because they have built and own
huge factories to manufacture these
products. In this way they have been
able to eliminate the middleman's
profit and pass on this saving to the
public in lower prices.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Rexall products are already widely
known throughout the country, the
ReXall stores are now conducting
monthly plan of special sales to still
further acquaint the public with the
high quality but low price of ReXaH
products. These sales have been
rightly named Factory to You
Sales" Full details of these monthly
Factory to-You Sales" will be
broadcast through an extensive ad-
vertising campaign in the leading
newspapers of New England.
The August "Factory-to-You Sale"
starts this morning and the double
page spread on Pages and gives
full details Of this sale. including q
list of over 100 items which are be-
ing offered at most unusual price
reductions. Journal readers will
find also on Page 4 the name of their
local ReXall dealer who is cUoperat-
ing in this great sale and at whose
store these bargains may be exam
ined and purchased.

through the streets, stopping along

with all the bravado and assurance OF
one we'll experienced in the affairs of

excited no suspicion on the part of the
merchants, as the boys demeanor was
as natural and easy as is most or our

Stopping out of the store. our young
friend found himself grasped in the
none too gentle hands of constable
who had been despatched post-haste by
the frantic owner of the bill fold to so
in search of the lad who had been
making friendly overtures earlier in

Our young friend is now repenting
his action and, it is reported. sufficient
ly so. and in view Of this and his tender
age no other punishment was deemed
necessary by the parties concerned.
