Hunger-Crazed Mobs
Clash With Police
Many German Towns

Berlin, Oct. % (By A. P.)-Food
rioting, the pillaging of shops and
potato fields, and the inevitable
sanguinary clashes between the
hungry mobs and police, continue to
be the outstanding features of the
news published in Germany. To-
days reports from mere than 80
points throughout Germany yielded
an impressive crosS-sectional view
of the almost cataclysmic social sit
uation in which all classes of the
population are apparently being
gradually engulfed.
The recurring dearth of bread and
potatoes is the universal source of
the rioting, and such relief meas
ures as the government hastily de-
vises invariably founder on the price
confusion caused by the rapidly de-
teriorating currency. Berlin today
was again the scene of boisterous
rioting. crowds storming the bake
shops and public markets in various
thousand men. women and children
this morning invaded the municipal
potato fields in the eastern sub
urbs and, when these were exhaust
ed, proceeded to loot private premi-
SEES. The police were forced to in
tervene and in the ensuing disor-
ders boy of 13 was shot dead and
a little girl seriously wounded.
Reports from half dozen min
ing centers in the Ruhr indicate
that the food situation there Is daily
becoming more serious, armed inter-
vention being continually called for
by local officials to put down out
breaks.

Chalmers grocery store which was
then on the site of the present Whit
comb market.
August 6, 1871. Mr.. Springfield en-
tered the Arnold Hardware store.
The firms name was then Arnold and
Meader, the members of the firm be-
ing w. b. Arnold and Nathaniel
Meader. both of whom have since
died. In 1888 Mr.. Springeld was made
a partner in the firm of w. +. Arnold
and Company and he continued with
this concern with Fred j. Arnold as
a partner up to the time of his death.
SO it is that for so years Mr..
Springfield has been found at the
same stand known by the thousands
of patrons of the store through his
long service and highly respected by
one and ALL Although deeply inter-
ested in all that pertained to the
public welfare of the city he did not
aspire to public office. He served as
a common councilman however, for
one term.
The same year that Mr.. Spring
field entered the firm he was mar
ried in Cambridge. Mass, to Miss
Laura Worster of that city. He
leaves besides his wife three daugh-
ters. Miss Louise Springfield. Mrs.

Marcel Dupre to
Give Recital Tonight

This evening at the Congregational
church. Marcel Dupre, the famous
organist at Notre Dame Cathedral,
Paris will give recital. A proof of
his popularity and the enthusiasm of
Waterville music lovers. is the fact
all the seats in the auditorium have
been sold, and people have taken
nearly all the space in the church
vestry, only few seats there being
left.
The recital will be upon the new
organ, one of the console models,
which, Vas recently installed in the
church. M. Dupre will include one
OF his own compositions in his pro-
gram in this city, giving people an
opportunity to see and hear one of
the worlds finest composers. He
started to compose when a boy, and
after winning the highest prize ac-
corded by the French government in
composition. the Grand Prix de Rome
III 1914. proceeded to add TO his lau-
rels by other works, for voice, piano,
violin and orchestra as well as organ.
During the past summer, Dupre re-
fused large number of concert en-
gagements on the Continent and in
England in order to devote his spare
time to further composition. Among
the new works which he brings to
America this season for performance
are Noel and Variations Gan ancient
Christmas CaroD Cortege and Litany,
a Rhapsodie, and an arrangement for
full symphony orchestra of the great
Bach Fantasia and Fugue in G Ma
jor, which will be played by several
orchestras this season. Dupre's COM
positions combine the Chassis models
of musical history with the modern
tendencies of the times and have
proved important additions to the
litera ture of today.

4 "sea of mud" Is the te

A "sea of mud is the term that
could be well applied to the place
where automobiles leave College
avenue and drive to the railroad
station. This space has for some
time been much dreaded by all dri-
vers of motor vehicles and it is
amusing to watch cars trying to
avoid the worst bumps and mud
holes. Even in dry weather very
few cars try to go across this space
in high gear as the way is alto
gether too rough even for the most
patented shock absorbers if the
speed is over five miles an hour. In
trying to avoid this morass autos
have so encroached on the dirt
sidewalk that leads to the station
platform that pedestrians are often
driven almost onto the railroad
track

Be Sure You Start Work With Right Job

New York. Sept. 5.-Be careful of

And q great deal of unhappiness

year places more than n thousand
girls in positions where they can make
good.

Grapes.

All sorts of delicious conserves and
jellies can b. made with grapes. Per-
sonally, think there is no grape like
the Concord: However, this is Ut.
ter of taste" Whatever variety OF
grape is at hand can be used.
Pectin (Which forms jellies) is
found in all fruits but is at its best
when the fruit is not quite ripe. As
the grapes ripen more sugar is
formed and ripe grapes are too rich
in sugar to make jerfect jelly.
Choose fruit that is just beginning to
turn to make n firm grape jelly that
will be free from. crystallization.
The weather has much to do with
the properties Of fruit. A dry, hot
summer means fruit richer in sugar
than cold. wet season. If fruit
is gathered after n rain there will be
more water to boil out, to obtain the
pure fruit juice.
Grape Jelly.
Wash and pick over grapes. Re-
move from stems and put in preserv-
ing KEITH. There will probably be
enough water on the fruit to prevent
burning. Crush few with a wooden
potato masher and bring slowly to
the boiling point, shaking the kettle
to prevent sticking. When the
grapes are hot crush with the potato
nasher and simmer for thirty min
utes. Put in jelly bag and let the
juice drip. If clear. sparkling jelly
is desired. do not squeeze the bag
Let drip as long as there is any juice.
Measure juice and put in preserving
