ing, though, led to a display of con-
servatism on the part Of majority
of commission houses. Late selling
was further stimulated by some prom
lse of rain over sections Of the west
and southwest.
Despite the heavy load of profit
taking sales, the wheat market as no
time today reacted to more than 3c
below yesterdays finish. On every
fraction down, the buying increased
and, according to some observers, owed
more or less the persistent character
which for time accompanied the ex-
traordinary fluctuations, of the May de-
livery of wheat. In this connection
emphasis was laid on talk which was
current that much of the damage al
ready done to wheat is irreparable.
Corn followed the trend of wheat.
Corn buying was based largely on the
ground that short crop of wheat
would necessitate substitution of all
other grain. Oats developed indepen-
dent strength owing to increasing re-
ports OF hot weather damage to the
oats crop.
Scattered selling out to realize
profits made the provision market ir-
regular after an early advance.

ANSON
Graduation at Academy

NORTH-On Wednesday evening
in Academy hall, the graduation ex-
ercises Of the class of 1925 of Anson
academy were held. The class
marched to the platform marshaled
by the class president, William Gray
Hartwell. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Leslie Grundy. The first number on
the program was a welcome song
written by Louise Shaw. William
Hartwell followed with "Acknow-
Judgements" and ably expressed the
appreciation of the class of 1925 to
the State. the town, the trustees and
the faculty. Alice Leita Russell de-
livered fine essay on "The Teach
er's Field of Service" Myrtle Berry,
Florence Spencer and Cora Belle Will
liams presented the class history as
a dialogue. Many laughable events
as well as many serious activities of
the class were presented in novel
form, much to the pleasure of the
audience, especially the undergrad
yates.
Eugenia Fenlason gave veyr fine
essay on the very interesting subject,

! ter musical number Verne l.. Bailey

that through the coming years the

| the courage to become good citizens
of this nation, this state and this
town and to always do their duty as
citizens.
Josephine Peters and Amy Clark,
speaking alternately, gave the Res
olutions" of the class of 1925. The
resolution of the individuals were ex-
tremely amusing but the two young
ladies expressed the very praisewor-
thy resolution of the class. The class
motto was used by Lucy Dinsmore
for the subject of a very interesting
essay. A musical number followed
and then came the Remembrances"
by Marie Wentworth and Sylvia
Towle. The gifts together with the
remarks concerning them caused a
great deal of laughter both from the
audience and seniors. The class pro-
phecy followed. given by Evelyn
Wing and Catherine Taylor in con-

Chicago Produce Market

Chicago, June sap. /.
Scorching weather and reports OF
widespread damage to crops hoisted
the wheat market today to a new high
price record both for September and
december delivery. Heavy profit-taking
sales, however, wiped out most of the
gain. Wheat closed unsettled at &c to
3c net advance, July 1854 to 1.6Ss and
September 1.643 to 1.64g, with corn
ranging from decline to an equal up
ions varying from 80 cents, setback to
a rise of 10 cents.
"A general rush to buy wheat started
as trading began here. Fever for own
ership was noticeably heightened by
evidence that the European trade, espe.
cially at Liverpool, had for the first
time of late become responsive in earn

in the United States. The rapidity

LIEUTENANT WILLIAM E. WAss

1.-THE interest in aviation and the
commercial possibilities through the
employment of planes in this city and
vicinity has exceeded my expecta-
tions," declared Lieutenant William E.
Wass, former flyer with the French
army, the Lafayette Escadrille and the
U. S. Army Air Service, in an inter-
view with the Kennebec Journal Fri
day evening.
Lieutenant Wass has come to Angus
ia, his former home, to establish a
school of aviation. He is now using a
Curtis JN-4, OK 5, or Jennie" type
of airplane, which amongst aviators is
reputed as one of the safest planes
ever built.
"In the near future, possibly within
a week, I expect to supplement my
equipment with a Waco model, which
is Curtis manufactured plane equip
ped with a Hispano-Suiza motor of
$50 horsepower" continued Lieut..
Wass. The school in aviation is es-
tablished and there are at the present
some seven or eight students enrolled.
At least one of these students has sig
nified his intention of purchasing a
plane as soon as his course of inStruc-
ton has been completed"
with several qualified air pilots IN
this city and immediate vicinity, it is
evident that first class landing field,
preferably municipality controlled, will
become an advantage to Augusta and,
in fact, will soon be an absolute ne
cessity."
In speaking further upon the gen
uine interest which is manifest here
in aviation and in his project, Lieut..
Wass said that with the addition to
his equipment he expected to enroll
larger class of students. Those whose
interest has been not only to learn
flying, but to own planes Of their own,
declare that the sporting phase Is
secondary, and that the real use would
be for business purposes with the ad-
vantages of quicker transportation.
In answer to a question as to how
long a course of instruction was neces-
sary before a student aviator could
qualify as pilot, Lieutenant Wass
said: II can teach any man or woman.

MACFARLANE wins
Open GOLF TITLE
FROM BOBBY JONES

Worcester, Mass, June 5-(AP)-
Willie MacFarlane, finest of men
and a great golfer" in the words of
Americas greatest amateur, little
Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Ga, tonight
is the open champion of the United
States, a victory by single stroke
today ending the greatest tourna-
ment in history.
The final score was 70 to 73 at the
end of the second 18 holes of play-off
to decide the deadlocked open tour
ney.
Jones opinion of the victor is of
weight, for he it was-national anna
teur and former open champion
who fell before the others prowess
in a history making play-off that re-
quired two full rounds of IS holes
before verdict was rendered.

Bradstreet's Report

New York, June 5.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
High summer temperatures have va
riously affected crops, trade and in
dustry. Whereas in the west these
have been accompanied by rains. ben
eft to crops, especially corn, and a
stimulation to buying of light sum-
mer goods has followed in the central
and lower Mississippi valley and
southern Texas, however, where rain
was needed, the high temperatures
alone have dulled trade and prevented
the best crop development. In the
country at large, high temperatures
have tended to slow down industry and
temporarily retard buying. Taken as
a whole, the arrival of seasonal wealth
er was probably helped more than hurt
final distribution and fill-in trade with
jobbers. Wash dress fabrics certainly
seem to have been definitely helped.

Univ. of Maine, Orono, June s.
Hap Crozier, the University of Maine
star hurler was today elected to lead
the Maine baseball team next year.
Hap, who halls from Brownville
has been kept off the mound his first
three years by scholastical difficulty
but has made up for loss time this
season. He is considered by some
of the leading baseball fans as the
best man in the State College
League.
If the fast ball artist had been
given any support at all in a few
of the games which he pitched he
would have put the Pale Blue out

with any mechanical sense at all, to
handle a plane after 10 hours in the
air. OF course this does not include
the time for instruction in taking off
and landing on the field. During the
World War, army aviators were quail
flied in less than half that flying time
and their lives depended on their
abilities"
Lieutenant Wass stated last evening
that he was considering the erection
of a hangar, with accommodations for
several planes, on the 100-acre field
which he has leased near the Earring
ton school on the East Side of the
river This hangar will probably be
erected within the next two or three
weeks.

NEW YORK, July 24.-(FP)-A

The Shanghai Crisis 10 published In

Lots of Nice Paper Money on Tap
Thomas j. McQuade, chairman of
the executive committee of the Wash
ington plate Printers Union informed
the convention that the bureau of
printing and engraving that employees
the largest number of plate printers
of any establishment in the country,
is entering upon "halycon days" with
more work assured than ever before
in its history. There is no prospect
for let-down, he said for at least a
year.
Under the present regime, he said q
reserve stock of 40 million sheets Of
paper used in printing currency has
been accumulated that will be allowed
to age properly before It is used so as
to avoid putting "uncured" currency
into circulation. Mr.. McQuade de-
clared this was an economy because
it will make paper currency last Ion
ger in circulation.
James e. Goodyear of Philadelphia,
secretary of the international union
reported the treasury in excellent
shape, and president Burke declared
hat the organization was in gener-
ally prosperous state.
