Many Seeking
Employment in City

Work appears to be very scarce
in Waterville at the present time,
according to a report given out from
the Waterville- Winslow Chamber of
Commerce Office. On the other hand
workers are very plentiful. There is
not a day goes by but what Mrs.
Florence M. Wallace, secretary of the
local Chamber has several calls from
people seeking employment. Espec-
tally is this true of students of the
college, institute and high school.
Girls and boys are going to the
Chamber of Commerce every day
seeking a chance to earn money to
pay their expenses. The universal
college have never been so great
as at the present time! Day after
day Mrs. Wallace is obliged to re-
ply in the negative to those seeking
work.
1t is the fall of the year and it
seems reasonable that there is a lot
of work to be done in the city, get
ting prepared for the winter which
must come in due time even though
citizens are enjoying fair clement
weather at the present time. Many
citizens are probably wishing for
aid in putting on double windows,
raking lawns, and getting a supply
of fuel housed. If these people will
only let their wants be known the
Chamber of Commerce office, tele-
phone 720. they can without doubt
receive reliable assistance at nominal
rates of wages.
But this would settle the question
of the male help employment seekers
only. and Mrs. Wallace is daily re-

Seven Day Program
of Transatlantic
BrOadcasting, Nov. %

Mrs. NJ. j. Hem1nger, Postal Tele-
graph operator, received telegram
from New York City last evening
which will doubtless prove of great
interest to Waterville radio fans.
Now that cold weather is here the
home with a radio set is a happy
home. Splendid concerts are being
heard every evening and many
prominent men are heard through
the ether every day. The treat in
store next week, however, without
doubt bids fair to surpass all others.
The message reads as follows:
New York, Nov. 21.-A seven
day program of transatlantic
broadcasting will begin Sunday
night, Nov. 18th, at 10 o'clock east
ern standard time, when eight ra-
diophone stations in the British Isles
will radiate special programs until
1910 p. NJ. for the radio audience
in this country. Following this, sta
tons in the United States and Eng
land will alternate until December
LIST, when they will speak to each
other in two-Way communication at
hve-minute intervals. Henry Ford
will speak Sunday night from his
station WWI at Dearborn, Mich, OPP
Grating on the $50 meter wave
length. Arrangements are under
way in England to have the Prince
Of Wales, Premier Baldwin and Mar
conf speak to American listeners.
Most American stations will be off
the air while the English transmit
ters are in action. Station WIZ. New
York, and WGY. Schenectady. n. Y.
will be connected by long distance
wires so the same program will be
broadcast simultaneously from both
cities. Eight stations in England will
be Joined by land lines. SO one mic
rophone located in London will con-
troll all stations. When voice ac-
tuates the microphone in London it
will be sent into the air simulta-
neously from eight different stations
operating on wave lengths ranging
from 363 to 400 meters. In order to
meet a request from England so
those broadcasting will known i'm
mediately if they are heard in Am
erica, arrangements have been made
with the Postal Telegraph Company
to relay paid messages containing
the names of all stations through
out the United States intercepting
the British program. Messages
should be addressed to Radio Broad
cast Magazine New York. Further
announcements of the program of
the stations, British and American,
will be made through the newspa-
pers and broadcasting stations.

AT Methodist Vestry Wed.

The vestry of the Methodist church
was the scene of Il Mothers and
Daughters banquet last evening
when Al mothers, daughters and
friends gathered for this annual af-
fair which was given under the aus
pieces of the Standard Bearers class.
After the supper, toasts and an ad-
dress of welcome were extended to
mothers by the class president, Miss
Bessie Tobey. Mrs. E. 3. Awkward
responded heartily for the mothers
present.
The business meeting following the
feast and plans for the coming
Christmas sale were made and dis
cussed. The remainder of the even
ing was devoted to an entertainment
which consisted of Mystery Box"
questions by the Woman's Mission
airy friends, and brief study of the
Japanese textbook on the Japanese
family. The evening was wound up
by general sing in which everyone
Joined heartily, and declared this to
be one of the years most successful
good times.

were six different places in the room
where the many people who visited
the fair during the day could purchase
articles of value for the coming holi-
day.
At the fancy work table Mrs. Clyde
Judkins and Mrs. Fred Rowe presided.
Here there were many pieces Of skill
full handwork that is found only at a
sale OF this kind, and at q reasonable
price.
The candy table no doubt received
It's share of attention. and the steady
line of customers went away with pock-
cts full of the delicious sweets found
only where the painstaking care of the
home is exercised. Mrs. Edgar Murray
and Mrs. Harold Keith were in charge.
The food table was one Of the first
to become empty and the sad part of
this was that many people who came
late with hopes that their cooking
hours. would be SHORTENED were disap-
pointed. Many tasty pies, cakes, cook
les and doughnuts were quickly dis
posed of. Those in, charge were Mrs.
Frod Estabrook, Mrs. Edward Barker
and Mrs. Z. Z. Webster.
An unusually attractive table was
the miscellaneous counter where mi
lady would purchase many handy ar
ticles of wearing apparel and fancy
souvenirs. Mrs. John Grant and Mrs.
Walter johnson presided over this de-
partment.
AS usual. the apron table held it's
place at the Christmas sale, for here
was an article inexpensive and Of great
use to the housewife. There were
many styles, some plain and for kitch-
en- use only, while others were highly
decorated with lace and quite appro-
pirate for afternoon USE Mrs. H. A.
Hooper and Mrs. Charles Chamberlain
were in charge.
The fishpond was very interesting
part OF the sale and was quickly sold
out. Mrs. NJ. D. Hutchins conducted it.
Delicious lunches were served during
the afternoon and evening by Mrs. W.
B. Rowland and Miss Mary Archer,
and to these the many visitors certain
ly did justice, for those in charge were
kept very busy.
At 8 o'clock the auditorium became
the scene of an entertainment given
by the T. N. Club. Mrs. Jenkins
Brilliant Idea" farce, was staged by
seven ladies. and the laughs extracted
from the audience by the efforts of
a sewing circle to raise money gave
proof of the success of the comedy.
The remainder of the program was as
follows:
Organ solo, Stanley Brown; reading,
Nathan Burgess; solo. Theodore Pierce !;
reading, Earl Currier; piano solo, Viola
Rowe; reading. Katherine Keene: solo.
