A little after 2 o'clock, Weber
and Brown heard noise at the
basement window. They rushed to
opposite corners TO await develops
ments.
When they felt certain that two
men had entered. Weber threw on
his flashlight. He was astounded
to see q brother-office in the
stream OF light.
A call was sent to the Tenth

doubtless in the State or the country,
is that attained by Herbert E. Fos-
ter of this city, who in the 1925 MEM
bership campaign of the Kennebec
Farm Bureau, has secured an even
100 members. Mr.. Foster was the
Kennebec Farm Bureaus first vice
president and he s2rved as president
of that organization from 1919 to
1923. Since then hex has also been
very much interested in the Bureau
and has always done we'll in all the
county membership drives. But his
record for 1925. has excelled all his
others and has placed him in class
by himself.
1t is safe to say that Mr.. Foster
holds a countrywide record in being
