movement.
The stock exchange rate was tbe
lowest since April "a, 1918. and m
direct cause of the decline was trace.l
TO the fact that the banks were load.

been seeking to put it to work.
Bankers dismissed the report tbs,

New York, March 22.-Here ar
Wall Streets views on the forthcoul
ing presidential election, as reflecte
in its latest betting table:
/. The odds are three to on
against the Demoo. ats carrying tn
election, but Democratic bettors ar
asking six to one.

probes.

the odds against his winning il.

broker who has been handling some Of
the larger political bets made in tn:
financial district. But they show
considerable change since four months
ago.
Ford Is Out OF 1t.
AT that time Henry Ford was the
outstanding candidate, who had q
chance of beating Coolidge. But since
then he has come out for Coolidge,
and spiked his own boom.
But there is a feeling along the
street that he may yet get into the
running; with the odds at II to l
that he doesn't get the nomination of
either of the two major parties.
"Coolidge's personal prestige hasn't
suffered any by the several senatorial
investigations, for he succeeded to the
10 the scandals had occurred. The
odds on his chances haven't changed
any.
But those on McAdoo have length

his name in TO the oil investigation,
and he has dropped from the leading
position in the Democratic lineup to
fourth place.

BUSY SCENES AT II
HEADQUARTERS FOR
BOTH MAJOR PARTIES

The little busy bee must be
relcgated to the background as
an exemplar Of industry.
State headquarters for both the
Republican and Democratic parties
in the language of the day have got
the bee stopped a mile" How much
honey Is being gathered at these
headquarters Is another question that
doesn't enter the information con-
tanned in this article.
But the fact remains that party
workers on both sides are really
working and the chairmen of the two
state committees and their assist
ants are finding that there are all
too few hours in the day for them
to get their work done.
At Portland the Republican State
committee occupies big suite of
rooms on the fifth floor of the new
Clapp building right in Monument
square. Not only are these rooms
being used by the State committee,
but the Cumberland county Repub-
lican committee also occupies them
as we'll as the Lincoln club, one of
the oldest and strongest party
organizations in the State.
Hon. George L. Emery Of Bidde-
ford, chairman of the Republican
State committee, is in charge Of the
whole campaign from these offices
and is at his desk practically all the
time. Col. Frank B. w. WEIGH of
Portland is executive secretary.
Others there are William S. Linnell,
member of the State committee from
Cumberland county: Linwood F.

the Cumberland county committee:

BY the decision of Ernest r. Hill
to open a studio, in which he will
teach music in its various depart
ments, and thus remain a resident OF
this city, the Augusta symphony or
chestra Is assured OF the same able
leadership which 1t has enjoyed since
1t was inaugurated in the fall of
1920. Many members OF the orchea-
ira have been fearful that Mr.. Hill
might leave the city following the
decision Of the management OF the
local theatres to do away with the
orchestras, which have been furnish
ing music in the two houses for
several years, as Mr.. Hill has been
leader of the Colonial orchestra for
the greater part Of the time since he
came to this city in 1913, and Of the
Opera House orchestra for short
time before this action was taken.
After some thought upon the mat
ter and at the request of many OF
his friends who felt that 1t would be
a fine thing for the city to keep such
a man here. Mr.. Hill has decided to
open a studio at 269h Water street.
Here he will teach the piano. orches-
trail Instruments, composition, ar.
ranging and directing in classes or
individually. Mr.. Hill is we'll fitted
to teach any Of these branches Of
music as he plays a number of diff
ferent instruments, and has a thor
ough knowledge of music. He will
also be able to furnish orchestras fer
all occasions and his understanding
of the value of different instruments
win enable him to furnish especially
beautiful combinations Of instru-
ments.
Mr.. Hill declared Tuesday that he
expected the first meeting of the Au-
gusta symphony orchestra to be held
on the first Sunday of October. It
has been the custom In seasons past
to start the work of the orchestra n
the month of September, but with the
beautiful scenery at that time and
tho fine automobiling 1t is a distinct
sacrifice on the part of the members
to attend rehearsals. For that rea-
son the first meeting will be post
poned until October. at which tiTe
the election of officers will be held,
other business will be transacted and
music will be given out for the first
public rehearsal of the fifth season.

Novel Check Adopted
BY Augusta Trust Company

In banking circles of Augusta con-
siderable interest Is being aroused
by novel form of check recently in
troduced by the Augusta Trust
Company.
This check cannot be raised to
any appreciable extent if it hap
pens to fall into the hands of a dis
honest person. There are figures on
the left margin of the face of the
check which correspond approx
mately to any amount which may be
drawn from $1.O0 to $50,000.00. BY
inserting these figures on the check
under metal cutter which is
riveted to the inside front cover of
the check book, the left hand edge
of the check may be torn in such a
manner that the highest figure re-
naming corresponds to the amount
for which the check is drawn.
1t is claimed that it is impossible
to raise these checks.
A special public demonstration of
this unique check will be given at
the bank on Thursday, August 2Sth.
