TIE Grand Army of the Republic

exercises and will be led by Com
mander George f. Gay. The Grand
Army has heartily entiorsed the De-
Tense Test program as outlined by
the War department. and every

Defense Day Speaker
Contributors to Defense Day
$4,000

Today is National Defense Test
day. The fund of $50 sought to
defray the few expenses necessary
for the success of the occasion has
not yet been subscribed. Up to last
night Il total of 500 had been
pledged or paid to Capt. Lester NJ.
Hart, treasurer of the fund.
Some people have been under the
impression that large contributions
are wanted. They are not. Small
gifts are especially desired.
You may have five dollars from
me any time" said one Well known
but not resident Of the city to Capt.
Hart Thursday. Il feel that there
are others in n better position to
give than am /. But I believe in
Defense day. II YOU run short let
me know and the contribution is
yours"
Members Of the committee feel
that there must be many people or
firms who would be willing to give
n dollar or two dollars or even 80
cents or less to the fund. These
contributions may be made today IT
there is any surplus, all that is not
needed over the sum estimated will
be presented to the local chapter of
the Red Cross.

RIVER APPROACHES
FRESHET PIT G H
RESULT HEAVY rain

While records are not available 1t
is believed that the rain of Wednes-
day with its consequent rise of water
in the Kennebec river was the great
est that has been noted in the month
Of September in many years. The
heavy Grain fall during the day beat
down upon this section of the coun-
try with sufficient force to smash
crops of grain and corn to the ground
and to break small limbs from shade
and orchard trees.
The Kennebec continued to rise on
Thursday. due probably to the break
in the dam at Waterville. which re-
leased millions of gallons Of water.
flowage from the water shed above.
Late Thursday afternoon the water
below the dam in this city had
reached within very few inches of
the top Of the Stone and Cooper
company coal wharf.
In spite of this great volume of
water suddenly r6rased very little
damage was done Long the river
above this city except at Watefville.
Contrary to early reports which
were that thousands of feet Of logs
had escaped from the booms further
up the river. damage along this line
was prevented by the timely shutting
down of the locks at Moosehead and
Indian Pond. About 1900 cords OF
pulpwood broke from the boom at
Carrabassett and were recaptured al
Madison, but this wood which be-
longs to different owners will be
sorted at the Madison sorting boom
and it is thought that there will be
no loss.
While this county escaped the full
fury of the storm the dirt roads in
the country districts were badly
drenched and made almostsimpassi-
BILE by the rain. The entire damage
in this part of the county, both to
crops and roads were estimated lasy
night at between $4,000 and $4,000.

this spring, report that ample con.

that none will be given this season
A large number of. letters have
been received indicating wide
Pspread. approval of its plan to ne,

slider 1t feasible to attempt the

of first rate concerts.
The committee has accordingly
been faced with an alternative
On the one hand. 1t can return all

Guided by many indications OF
public desire. the committee hes
decided to follow the latter course.
IL in the fall the committee
should be unable to obtain the
services of artists of sufficiently
high caliber, the money will be re
turned to the contributors and the
plan abandoned.
In dealing with the situation, the
committee has been actuated by
the desire to serve the radio pub.

for delay, the committee feels thst
by holding and increasing the fund

that the Central Union Trust is
contributing the entire expense of
