CHAT

Augusta friends of Eddie Shevlin,
the Dartmouth professor, who passes
portion Of his summers at Lake
Cobbossee will be interested in the
outcome of the fight at Manchester.
n. H., when he meets Paddy Ryan of
Pittsburgh. Advance dope on the
fight indicates that Shevlin is a
favorite to win. Bobby Lowrey, the
Scotch weller, is after another try
at Eddie's crown and by his win
over Scoops White at Worcester he
feels that he is entitled to a crack
at the New England title. In this
connection it may be of interest that
Al Mello of Lowell. who holds q de-
cision over frankie Quill of Nashua,
Las Il return battle with Quill and if
he succeeds in getting q second de-
cision will apply for a match with
Eddie. frankie Quill is rugged
boxer who has shown in this city and
if Mello can put it over again it is
evidence that he has the goods.
The Augusta City League bowiers
are certainly playing havoc with the
pins this season. With about thirty
bowlers in the league there are 10
who have an average of 80 or better
although the schedule is well along
and the league is rounding into the
last lap. The list of high bowlers is
as follows Garside 100. Gross 80.
Goodwin 81, McDonough 95, Fogg "a,
r. White "a, E. Overlook "a, Stacy
SO, Marston 90, Croteau 80. Perkins
81, Fallon 81, Wing 81. Laid 81.
land 80, Lausier 80, Merrill 90.
But the list of high bowlers is not
tie only thing they have to be proud
OF. There are some high singles and
totals that are worth noting. Last
evening the American Legion team
set new mark for a team three
string total with 1445. A short time
ago in the same match the Kennebec
Journal and Clerks each turned in
team single string total of sos. tieIng
Tor the high mark of the year.
Individual records for the league
go to f. Overlook who turned in the
high three string total of the season
with $40 and to Hervey Fogg who
hit them for 13S in one string. But
there is little doubt that several if
not all of these records will come in
for lot of trouble before the end of
the season. the way the boys are hit
ting them now.
The team captains will meet on
Monday evening at the Y. NJ G. A.
t. arrange for the annual banquet
which always brings the season to a
close with a bang. This banquet is
the occasion of the presentation Of
the beautiful trophy which must be
won three times by one team before
1t becomes their permanent property.
Several surprises are usually sprung
during the evening and the boys
We're never known to go home with
any report other than that of

Meadow Maid Dairy
Lives Up to Its Name

Meadow Maid Dairy was opened
for business on March 1 of this
year by former State Dairy Inspec-
tor Forrest A. Barbour. AS State
dairy inspector. he had supervision
of the issuance of milk licenses and
improvement of milk supplies
throughout the state.
An up to date dairy with all the
modern equipment for handling and
distributing high quality milk and
cream has been provided. This
equipment includes a steam steriliZer
in which all bottles and cans are
thoroughly sterilized each time be-
fore being used again. This is the
only steam sterilizer for retail milk
in Augusta and far eclipses the
usual method of merely washing
bottles in warm water in which the
hands can be placed.
Two trips are made daily to Sc
lected farms where the milk and
cream is collected directly after
milking. The herds supplying Mea-
dow Maid Milk have been tested and
found free from tuberculosis.
Meadow Maid Dairy specializes in
retail trade and insures a high
quality product. Prompt delivery is
one of the advantages Meadow Maid
Dairy claims. Emergency orders for
afternoon are being filled. The pub
lie is cordially invited to visit Mea-
dow Maid Dairy at IA Spring street
at any time.

"Chips?" Then You'll
Think of Hersey's
Gosh, they're good"

Gosh, they're good"
That's universal expression when
Mrs. Hersey's potato chips are under
discussion. They are good, just
about as good as anything could be as
hundreds and hundreds of folks all
over the State of Maine will gladly
testify. That they are strictly pure,
and made with the same care that
any housewife would use is another
mighty good thing in their favor.
OF course, one might rave about
these potato chips for sentence after
sentence, but the chips are really no
better than the Hersey marmalade
and the Hersey sailed nuts. For, be
it known, Mrs. Jessie Hersey, Cony
street, Augusta, turns out just about
as good marmalade, nuts and potato
chips as it is possible to find in the
length and breadth of THIS land.
In the manufacture of these delica-
cfes-and even the chips can be
called a delicacy-Mrs. Hersey has
shown again that a woman can sue
coed in business for herself. Starting
first with the making of marmalade
and sailed nuts in her home, Mrs
Hersey soon added the potato chips.
Not only did she make these commo-
dities, but she placed the orders for
them in the stores up and down the
Kennebec valley. Right from the
start, her goods found immediate
favor. The superior quality, backed
up by energetic craftsmanship, caused
such, a wide spread demand that Mrs.
Hersey soon found that her home was
no longer big enough to care for the
great trade she had created. So, last
December. right after Christmas, she
secured rooms in one of the new
blocks on Cony street and there she
is now located, turning out whole
professions of jars of marmalade and
nuts and bushels and bushels of po-
tato chips.
In making the marmalade, all Of the
fruit is used; no artificial coloring or
other matter enters into the product
The sailed nuts are selected with the
greatest care. thoroughly cleaned and
then cooked in the best of OIL They

Sailor Can Talk But
Silent Seven Years

Lisbon, May IA. P. by Mai)-
Seven years without having uttered a
single word, despite possession of all
his faculties, coupled with a deter
mination to live in Jail in preference
to life of freedom, have made Ivan
Gluchosa known to every one in Lis
bon. He is mystery to the police,
who have on more than one occasion
shown him the prison doors, and the
people seemingly never tire of specu-
lating why the voluntarily silent
prisoner" never says a word.
A policeman picked Ivan up one
summer night in 1918. asleep on a
park bench, and ran him in. Cues
toned he refused to answer. Papers
in his pockets gave his name, and his
nationality. Rumanian, and the fact
that he had belonged to the crew of a
foreign steamer that had left port the
day of his arrest. He got few
months as vagrant. In Jail he be-
haved himself, but spoke never a
word. His time up, the prison au-
thorities sent Ivan to the Rumanian
Consul, but not a word would he say.
The perplexed consul sent him back
to the prison, where he remained for
three years quietly, peacefully and
contentedly but absolutely silent.
Doctors have pronounced Ivan nor
NAL in every way, and established the
fact that he enjoys listening to the
singing of birds. He has been insulted
and abused in his own language, and
in most others, but he never showed
he heard what was said. Traps have
been set for him, but all is of no
avail. Ivan has determined not to
speak.
At the end of three years the prison
authorities gave this silent man a
new outfit of clothes and a pocketful
of money and set him free. But at
the gate he shrank back and refused
to leave the sheltering walls.
Four years have passed since then.
Today Ivan is assistant prison cook,
but he will accept no money for his
work. Occasionally he goes out on
business connected with the kitchen,
but from these excursions he returns
with manifestations of joy. He loves

PrOgressiveness and Good
Work Have Spelt Success

To have one of the best equipped
plumbing and beating establishments
in the State Of Maine, requires the
investment of a goodly sum of mon
ey. For a young firm, too, it means
taking a chance. But energy and
confidence will do as much now as
they ever would and SO the Wheeler
Bros. Co. of Gardiner. as a business
less than three years old, stands out
as one of the leading establishments
of it's kind in Central Maine, if not
in the whole State.
1t was on Sept. 1; 1922, when this
business was established. The mem
bers of the firm are Mrs. Mary f.
Wheeler, f. A. Hanley, Harry A.
Wheeler and J. Austin Wheeler.
Harry A. Wheeler has been in the
plumbing and heating business IN
Gardiner for 20 years and j. Austin
Wheeler has had 10 years experience.
A firm is known by it's deeds just
as is an individual Wheeler Bros.
Co. have completed the plumbing IN
the new Maine Trust and Bank
Company's building-a striking eX-
ample of what is right in modern
plumbing. AT present, they are in
stalling vapor heating system
equipped with an Ideal type A heat
ing unit, in the beautiful residence
of j. Walter Robinson of Gardiner.
AS has been remarked, the Wheeler
establishment is one of the best
equipped in the State. They have
just added an electric pipe cutting
and threading machine which facil-
itates greatly the great amount Of
work that has to be done.
The activities of the Wheeler Bros.
Co. are not limited to plumbing and
heating, for they carry full line of
kitchenware, Miro aluminium, l.. &
G. enamelware, paints, varnishes,
United States tires, Mobiloils, Ma
tional Mazda lamps and are agents
for Kineo stoves and ranges.
