Los ANGELES, can. 3.-That

the freezing point. Smudging was
general.
Tonight will still be cold with a
probable freeze, and IIersey warn
ed growers against giving up the
vigil they have been maintaining.
Officials of the California Fruit
Growers Association predicted that
q careful check of the groves dur
ing the next few days will show II
very small loss.
EscondidO, north of San Diego,
reported the lowest temperature
registered last night, with mark
of 26 degrees, endangering many
lemon groves in that vicinity. Ca

Work in County
Jail a Feature of
Salvation Army

An excellent moving picture program
was given at the Kennebec county Jail
Wednesday evening by Ensign w. j.
Lawrence of the Salvation Army. there
being eight reels, which included three
comedies and Famous Players fea-
ture.
A concert by the Lawrence family
had been scheduled, but illness of a
member of the family made it necessa-
ry to send hurry order for picture
films into Boston. as Ensign Lawrence
did not wish to disappointed the boys
on the hill.
AS yet no one has come forward as
hacker of an extension Of the social
service work at the Jail, which has been
carried on very successfully for a num-
Der of months.
The Salvation Army program IL a
tried and tested method Of rehabilitat-
ing and starting anew in life the un-
fortunate men and women who have
made partial shipwreck of their lives.
Through its aid and kindly ministra-
tions it has set thousands on the road
to sober and honest living.
While the citizens of Augusta. Halo
we'll and Gardiner are among the most
prosperous in the country, there is still
great need of the Army's work, as has
been shown by the actual expenditures
of the past year. The amount asked Is
the minimum which will be necessary
to carry on the work Please send con-
tributions to the Salvation Army, Au-

ANOTHER BRICK
BLOCK TO Be BUILT
ON CONY STREET

IT became known last evening that
Eugene Smith, who has been proprie-
tor of two grocery stores in this city,
one of which was badly damaged in
the recent Cony Hill fire, has purcha sed
the land upon which the store was sit
uated and will shortly erect a fine
modern two-story brick building. The
land and buildings which he has been
occupying were owned at the time of
the fire by the Augusta Real Estate
Association.
This is the second brick block that
will be erected upon the site of build
ings which were damaged in that fire,
and 1t appears that the fire which caus-
ed a serious setback TO business on
Cony Hill will in reality heove the
cause of decided advance VI the ap-
pearance of the hill. The other block
is to be erected by A. L. Rose. proprie-
tor of the Bruce Concern, which con-
Quoted grocery business in one Of the
stores which, were burned.
With the erection of these two new
buildings and the two large up-to-date
structures which have recently been
built and which are now occupied by
the Hussey Hardware Co. and the Wa
terville Motor Co., Cony Hill and Ban
gor street appear to be the logical place
for the location of business which can
not be accommodated on Water street,
and there seems little doubt that any
extension of the business section of the
town will come in that direction.
