 But I realized that her guess as to my knowledge of Lee Chow's iden- tity was apt 10 prove more embar- rassing to me than her melodramatic fears. If Katie scents a mystery she Is like a woodchuck at a hole un- til she solves it. From Lee Chow's manner I knew that secrecy con- corning his connection with Hugf Grantland was viJally necessary, anC for a miserable second or two l won dered if Katie by any means could have guessed the truth.

Reasons for Trading in Augusta, by
Ethelyn Bsulah Hurd, c. n. S. 20 =


once there was a man who made
, mousetraps in his little house In the
! woods. but the world went on just
, the same for no one ever heard OF
! this man who made these very fine
mousetraps. -
Now there was another man who
also made mousetraps but he did
rushing business. Why? Eyerytiine
! he met a man he said, Come on UP
to my house, 1 will show you fine
F., mousetrap." They all went. some
out of curiosity's sake and others
, because they had no cat. They went
more than once, too. They told their
neighbors and they went. All be-
cause the second man advertised.
Augusta Is like that second man,
j she advertises, but 1t takes more
than advertising to make them come
a second time. There Is not one
beaten path to Augusta, but hun:
dreds--but just why?
First curiosity Is aroused, then II
they are satisfied, they come again.
But why Is it they are satisfied?
It Is because Augusta is always
ready to supply the right goods at
the right prices and stands back OF
every article sold. Augusta will
make good the smallest dissatisfac-
ton, If it should arise.
It. is because Augusta gives the
best service and along with 1t goes
courtesy, the wish to please and an
everlasting satisfaction. =
1t is because Augusta Is up to date
and clean, its people are refined and
eager to give you as painstaking and
satisfactory service as you can get
any where Spread your enthusiasm
to the far cities, towns and hamlets
and make their people stop and
think before they trade not In Au-

It is because by buying in Augusta
you are sure Of the best at the fair
est prices with q full measure OF
courtesy thrown in.
1t Is because in Augusta you can
purchase the same or better article
for less money from q concern YOU
are absolutely sure about.
It Is because II Augusta doesn't
have what you want. she will get 1t
for you in no time. Thatsts where
the service shines.

One pleasant spring day left Cape
Cod with my pilot to fly porthward.
1t was my first visit to New England
and as we flew questioned him con-
corning the places. AS we passed
over one village l noticed that It
seemed to be abandoned. l question
ed him about this and he said that
1t used to be q very prosperous VIII
lage. was surprised at this and
said. 1T seems to be a large place.
bsee the factory and the stores" lie
answered that there were some mica
r&tores there but that the men that
owned them had gone out OF busi-
ness because the people had sent
away for their goods or had gone TO
other cities to get them. He said,
THE banks here have failed and the
whole town has gone TO ruin and peo-
pie are constantly moving away"
BY this time we were past the VIII
lage and were flying towards Augus-
Ia, the capital Of Maine. AZ we
neared the city noticed that it SEEM
ed to be very busy place. I men.
toned this fact to him aaa he nod
ded. This city is just opposite the
other one" he remarked. "Thcse
people are always trading with their
own merchants, they are true citi-
Gems to their city and State"
l could see the people walking on
the streets. The business section Of
Ehe city was large and as we new
over the capitol noticed the beauti-
full State park. could see the rivet
with Its merchant boats unloaSiing
raw cotton and taking away some
that was manufactured. My pilot
continued: Augusta IL the center of
the farming district Of the Kennebec
valley. People come from the coun-
try around here to buy their goods
because the stores are up to-date end
the merchants try to have q large
line OF goods which are Of the best
quality. The stores have pleasant,
courteous clerks and will let one ex-
change goods there. Satisfaction Is
positive in Augusta, he continued, Us
we few away from the city.
