Is it morally right for a city or state
to start in business competition with
its private citizens? State industries
pay no taxes, but force private prop
critics with which they compete, to
pay the taxes to support the public

Scout Carnival at
Fairgrounds to Be
Two DaY Affair

The Bout Scout Carnival, which will
be held at the Macomber Play
grounds today if the weather is fair
has become an affair of such ma gnitude
that it has been decided to hold it on
Thursday afternoon as we'll. This will
give everyone a chance to attend and
enjoy the many features that have
been prepared.
The gates will be opened at 100 and
the various booths will be doing BUSH
ness from that time on. The program
of dances and other features will begin
at $50 o'clock. Included in this pro-
gram are Misses Sydney and Lenore
Savage in a duo dance. Miss Zena Paul
in solo dance, several groups of girls
in group dances. a folk dance which
has been coached by Miss Joan Sturte-
want and song hit by two of the
seven funny clowns. These numbers
will appeal to young and old alike and
there is every indication that there
will be large number of people pres
ent to enjoy them. The boys are work.
ing hard to make this affair a success.
Director Hyde of the playground re-
quests that the boys of Troop No. !,
Boy Scouts be at the playground as
carly is possible this morning in order
that the final work may be done in
ample time to open the gates for the
carnival promptly at $50.

''MAL" M0RRELL TO
CALL CONY GRIDDERS
after LABOR DAY

Believing that an early start will
help things along, Nal Morrell, the
new Cony High coach intends to call
out his football squad on Tuesday,
September ., nearly a week before
the school opens. For the remainder
of the week he expects to hold prac-
tice for an hour or an hour and a
half in the morning. The practice
will of course be light for the first
week or two, consisting mostly of
fallins on the ball, swapping the ball
and light work of a similar nature.
Nal confessed that he has no idea
as to the available material at the
school as this is his first year there
and he has been unable to see many
of the boys. but he feels that there
should be some first class players in
the school and that n good football
team can be constructed from this
material.
When asked what sports he would
coach he declared that he would
coach football. baseball, hockey and
track. hut that an outside coach
would be probably be secured for
basketball. Nal will endeavor to put
track on a firm basis at the school
as we'll as the other sports and will
| devote his energies to making cham
pionship teams in as many of these
sports as possible

Women to Contest
For Country Club Golf
HOnOrS Thursday

On Thursday of this week the wo-
men OF the Augusta Country Club
will hold forth on the golf course
in the annual team match. There is
little doubt that this event for the
ladies will bring forth as much en-
thusiasm as did the turf diggers"
match for the men a week ago Sat
urday. The two opposing teams
will be captained by Miss Katherine
Hill and Miss Dorothy Hill. and
when the cohorts venture forth
across the greens and fairway of
the beautiful course overlooking
Lake Cobbosseecontee, travellers
passing on the state highway will
think that that warfare is being
waged with the fair Amazonians up
holding the bulwark of the defense
as we'll as forcing the attack in de-
ployed skirmish lines.
The event will be an all day af-
fair with nine holes of play in the
forenoon followed by lunch at the
club house at noontime and the re-
naming nine holes played off in the
afternoon. The losing team will
stand for the dinners. and in the
judgement of the wiseacres around
the club house last evening it was
a pretty even bet as to which ag-
gregation would cop first honors
and gorge themselves at the expense
of the Vanquished. In case of rain
Thursday, the match will be played
Friday.

Shanghai FlOgging
To Stop Outlawry

Shanghai, July % CA. P. by MalD
AS an outgrowth of an epidemic Of
lawlessncss that in recent weens
took the form of almost daily armed
robberies in dwellings and on the
streets. the police of Shanghai's In
ternational Settlement again are Wig
orously advocating flogging as
punishment for offenders.
AS rule armed ROBBERS, convicted
il. Shanghai's Mixed Court, are sen
fenced to death and are shot after
being turned over to the Chinese au-
thoritics. The foreign police contend
that Chinese criminals fear this pun
ishment less than they do corporal
punishment, which they assert will
deter many criminally inclined from
being caught with weapons in their
possession.
The Chinese press in Shanghai
generally voices opposition to any
return to the use of the bamboo.

State Begins Plea
(continued from PAGE one)

Grove had drawn an unfair inference
as to the condition Of the body in re-
lation to the crime. an inference which
they said was not borne out by the cor
oner's report.
To settle the controversy Judge Cav
erly sent for the report and announced
,five-minute recess to give women an
opportunity to leave. He assured them
that court would adjourn Immediately
after the reading. but about half of
those in the audience elected to remain.
Then the judge ordered them out.
Il want You to leave at once" he
said. Why persist in hearing this
rot?"
Mr.. Grove was vigorous in his Ian
guage. His gestures, particularly his
pounding on the table before him,
brought spectators to the edges OF
their seats.
These two perverts." he cried fire.
quently. Their lives are worthless
to themselves: they are disgrace
to their proud families; they are a
menace to this community"
He scored the defense plea for
mercy, and characterized Mr.. Oar
row the professional protector OF
murder in the county"
lie state attorney HOOQ naSneO
from the pleading of facts to the
ironical and then to sarcasm as he
reviewed the testimony which six
weeks of hearing has put into the
record to aid Judge Caverly in fixing
the penalty.
IF they We're not certain that the
state had prepared an alright case
he said. ''the plea would have been
insanity. Instead, we now have a
plea running all around insanity, yet
never touching it."
The prosecutor replied also to the
implied charges in the defense argu-
ment, which he said held him UP to
the world as a cold hlooded and
heartless monster crying for the
blood of two youths" His answer
was the law.
I'VE may forgive our personal in
juries," he said to the judge. facing
him squarely and half leaning on the
rail which held him apart from the
bench, "but neither you. as a Judge
nor /, as a states attorney. has a
shred of right to forgive injuries tc
the laws, which we are sworn to de-
fend.'
The early adjournment of court to.
dav prevented Mr.: Grove in getting
as far along in his argument as he
expected. He probably will continue
through the entire day tomorrow,

days time-six hundred dollars-fot
the Sea Gull.
"Again the second engineer of the
Sea Gull decided to quit at the end
OF the trip. The captain was careful
to include that news in his daily
radiogram, and before the ship ar
rived, new second engineer had
been signed up.
First Aid
'1n time OF sickness radio renders
invaluable service. A ships captain
will hesitate to go into port with a
small catch because of sickness. But
he decidedly would send a message
to port telling the company of the
illness of one of the crew. The
answer may come back to go to some
nearby port for medical aid. or a
medical officer on shore or aboard a
passenger vessel may send back the
necessary method of treatment over
the wireless.
Silence Of Sea Gone Forever
"Fogs are very dense on the banks
especially in winter. Often it is i'm.
possible to take the bearings of
vessel for days at time. A radio.
gram to shore will bring back a
speedy answer that will enable the
ship to learn at once just where it
is"
Thus radio, enjoyed in one form
by millions, is proving what was long
wanted by great industry. In the
words OF G. Harold Porter. general
marine superintendent of the Radio
Corporation, who was mainly respon.
sible for this new era among our
fishing fleets. "Men who go down to
the sea in ships now rarely cut adrift
from the busy life on land. On
freighter or ocean liner radio is the
link between ship and shore. 1t
warns the sailor or passenger of ap-
preaching storms; it guides the ship
through the thickest fogs; it brings
help and succor in time of need"
SO why should not the fisher folk
forget their traditions and do their
work, aided not alone by good for
tune, but by this Great helpful marvel
of Our electrical age?

U. S. Fliers Changing
Engines; Plan to
Hop Off Thursday

On Board the L. S. Richmond,
August 26.-(By A. P.)-Rear Ad-
miral Magruder. in command of the
patrol squadron guarding the course
of the American army round-the-
world fiiers, was informed today by
Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith that he
and Lieutenant Erik Nelson were
changing their engines in their ma
chimes at Ivigtut, Greenland, and
that they would not hop off from
there for the fight to Labrador until
Thursday. This delay will enable
the Richmond to proceed westward
from Greenland waters and greet the
aviators when they arrive at Indian
Harbor.
Lieutenant Locatelli, the Italian
aviator, who started on the flight
from Iceland to Greenland with
Lieutenants Smith and Nelson but
was forced to descend, seemed IN
good spirits today after a full
nights rest on board the Richmond.
eft was not willed that we should
have success" said Locateli today in
recalling the bad luck that had COM
pelled him to come down on the
water for minor repairs because his
carburetor was not functioning pro-
perly. The machine descended
thorugh a thick fog bank and lighted
on the water and the repairs We're
made. Fifteen minutes later the fog
lifted. hopes for better water condi-
tons were vain. and the plane corr
tinued to drift about, buffeted by the
waves. until it was found by the
Richmond.
The only damage to the plane was
to two metal rods supporting the
front engine. These buckled, max
ing it dangerous to attempt rising
from the rough water. The Italians
claimed that had the Richmond ar
rived during the daylight, instead of
in the dark, or if they had had boat
to stand by until morning, they could
have raised the plane and continued
their fight.
Admiral Magruder today expressed
himself as pleased and relieved at
the result of the search for Lieut..
Locatelli and his companions.
