Predict Waterville
Fair to Be Biggest
And Best Ever

Plans are rapidly formulating for
the largest and best Central Maine
Fair that has ever been held since
the fair association was organized
a quarter of century ago. In eX-
pectation of this efforts are already
! under way to put the fair grounds in
first class shape for the fair which
this year takes place the first three
days of September.
The task of cutting the hay on the
various fields of the grounds has al
ready been accomplished and every
thing is being thoroughly cleaned.
The long rows of cattle sheds which
| have during the past few years fall
en- in disrepair are being put in first
class condition and many minor re-
pairs are to be made on the col
iSeum.
From all early reports one of the
pleasantest features of this years
falr is to be the midway. The large
Miller shows have been engaged for
the main attraction and never before
mas such an extensive outfit shown
mere. The fair officials have receiv-
ed many newspaper reports of the
SHOWS and they are all written in
the terms of highest commendatfon.
is to be a buster place than usual,
several hundred feet of land has
already been engaged by different
SHOWS and concessions.
The auto show, it is expected, will
be larger than it was last year, Tn
to the present time space has been
engaged in the huge tent for some
~ cars and it is believed by the Of
hc1als that before the first of Sep
tember arrives that nearly every
every dealer in Waterville and the
surrounding towns will be represent
ed.
Each mail brings numerous en-
tries in the cattle and sheep DEPART
ment. There are now enough
horses at the grounds to keen a
blacksmith steadily at work and the
animals are. working out daily on
the track which never was in faster
condition.
In years past 1t has been the rule
TO nave the fair run five days, but it
was found that interest Jagged be-
lore the final day, and the shorter
period of time was decided upon.

Another Staying
In New Outbreaks
Chicago Gang War

Chicago, July 19.-(AP)-One
man is under arrest and another is
being sought by police in connection
with the latest outbreak of gang
warfare in Chicago, which resulted
in the death last night of James
Vanci, driver of the car from which
"Mosey' Enright, labor leader. was
killed two years ago, and Ma
chine Gun joe Grennatta.
Grennatta and Vanci shot and
stabbed each other to death in a
fight in front of South Side saloon
last night. AS is usual in such cases,
witnesses were hard to find,' al
though crowd witnesses the affair
Examination of the bodies and
questioning of the few who would
talk led to the police to believe that
others took part in the battle.
Investigation led to the theory
that Vanci and several friends had
set out to get" Grennatta for an
alleged triple cross growing out of
his failure to appear for trial on two
Jewelry robbery charges and the
consequent forfeiture of his bonds
totalling $4,000.
The man held is Louis Beradi, 21,
who was in the saloon when the
night started. Joseph Grangrosso,
owner of a soft drink parlor and
SAID to be a business associate of
Nanc1, is the man sought.

Persia Would Monopolize
Sugar and Tea Output

Bagdad, June 20-(A. P. by MaiD-
Decision of the Persian government
to put through a bill to empower it
to take over the import and sale of
tea and sugar in Persia as state
monopoly has aroused considerable
feeling in commercial circles here.
The seriousness of the matter from
the local point of view may be gagged
from the fact that, except for cotton
piece goods, very large proportion
of the considerable re-eXport trade
from this country to Persia consists
of tea and sugar. The buying ar
rangements in Europe and India have
until now remained in the hands of
Bagdad middlemen, Persian mer-
chants not as a rule buying further
afietd than this city. Presumably, the
Persian government intends to make
it's own arrangements in Europe, and
to cut out the Bagdad middleman al
together.

Dead Sea Salts
COmmercialiZed

Jerusalem, June II CAP by maiD
Efforts soon will be made to ex-
ploit the vast mineral wealth of the
Dead Sea, and Palestine, the richest
country in the world for potash re-
sources, may begin to yield up some
of it's riches.
A government announcement says
that in view of the existence in the
waters of the Dead Sea of certain
minerals, the winning and maketing
of which for commercial purposes is
believed to be practicable, the crown
agents for the colonies, acting on
behalf of the government of Pales-
tine, are prepared to receive applica-
tions for the grant of rights to un-
dertake operations.
The volume of the Dead Sea is
somewhere in the neighborhood of
120,000,000,000 cubic metres. Hence
the area contains roughly 10000, ,000,-
900 tons of mixed salts. of which
possibly 1,500,000,O00 tons are po-
tassium chloride. The salts occur as
strong brine, Immediately ready
for evaporation and crystallization
for the production of pure salts by
the natural heat of the sun. The
average percentage of salts in the
brine is at least 25 percent, of which
"a percent is sodium chloride, four to
seven percent potassium chloride,
and up to one percent or more mag
nesium bromide.
The surface Of the Dead Sea lies
1892 feet below the sea level. 1t is
4S miles long and 10 miles wide, as
big as the lake of Geneva. 1t is es-
timated that 6,500000 tons of water
fall into it daily. Because of the ex-
traordinary evaporation caused by
the intense heat, the water is i'm
pregnated with mineral substances,
of which common salt constitutes
seven percent. Fish cannot live in
the Dead Sea, which destroys nearly
all organic life.
The official announcement that the
government Is prepared to grant q
concession for the exploration of the
mineral resources of the Dead Sea
follows several years prospecting by
a group of Jewish financers of Pal
estine and England. Recently an
American oil company which has
been prospecting for petroleum in the
southern part of the Dead Sea reg
ion, has displayed keen interest in
the bromide deposits. Other Amer
lean companies have sent out en-
gineers to examine the brine.
1t Is understood that, because of
the competition, the government de-
cided to invite tenders from all in
terested parties before granting a
concession.

Cardinal Begin Dies
CONTINUED from PAGE Onel

tious surroundings of a Lewis farm
house, where he was born, to mem
bership in the Sacred College of the
Roman Catholic Church. is without
parallel in the religious history of
Canada. 1t is doubtful if the vener-
able prelate, when in youth he con-
secrated his life to the service of his
church, ever dreamed of or hoped for
the honors that were later to come
to him.
Cardinal Begin succeeded to the
archbishopric of Quebec upon the
death in April, 1898, of Cardinal
Taschereau. AS head of the diocese
he worked theoretically to promote
the interests of the church and made
practice of visiting annually every
parish in the archdiocese. one of the
largest territoriaily in America. Be-
ginning his parish visits early in the
spring it was necessary for him to
travel almost continually until the
end of September to cover all the ter
ritory. He did most Of his travelling
by automobile or carriage, using
trains and boats only when absolutely
necessary.
From the death Of Cardinal Tasche-
reau in 1898. the first Canadian pre-
late to be elevated to the College of
Cardinals, his successor as archbishop
of Quebec had been mentioned several
times as a possible candidate for the
red hat, but II was not until 1914 that
the honor was conferred upon Car
dinal Begin by Pope Plus X.
Cardinal Begin, the son of Charles
Begin. farmer. and Luce Paradis
Begin, was born January 10, 1910, at
Sarosta, in the parish of Lewis, across
the river from Quebec. His prelim-
mary education was received at the
Lewis Model School, the College of ST.
Michael Bellechasse, the Little Sem
mary Of Quebec and Laval University,
Montreal. He was graduated with hon.
ors from the last named institution,
winning the Prince of Wales medal
He studied theology at the Grand
Seminary, Quebec, and later attended
the lectures of the Jesuits at the Gre
gorian University, Rome, where he
was ordained in 1865 and received the
degree of doctor of divinity.
Cardinal Begin was tall and very
erect and his simplicity of manner
was one of his outstanding character
istics. He always manifested deep
interest in the working classes and
frequently acted as arbitrator in dis
putes between capital and labor. In
these controversies he invariably sue
ceeded in obtaining settlements salts
factory to both sides. He was Fell
low of the Royal Society of Canada
and author of number of religious
works.

Tokyo, June 18-(AP by MaiD-
Even Japan is having its railway
troubles, statement recently attrib-
uted to Vice Minister of Railways
Aoki shows. Mr.. Aoki said that trade
depression had caused a decided drop
In the railway traffic revenue and
that there were many freight cars
lying idle. Unless there is a decided
improvement in the near future it is
feared the situation may seriously
affect the budget for the current
fiscal year.
During May there was a falling off
of 3,259 tons from the normal freight
handled. The average freight reve-
nue. was 518,1So yen, or 22,743 yen
less than for the same period last

Hockey Pokey Girls
Compete With Men

London, June 80 GAP by maiD -
The hockey pokey" girl has appear
ed in London--hundreds of her. The
hokey pokey ice cream man arrived
three or four years ago, by leaps and
bounds, and is now familiar sight
in any part of London, every after
noon and evening during the warm
weather. One firm alone has 1900
men, on three wheeled bicycles. who
sell ice cream sandwiches for a pen
ny, and recently another firm, with
the same conveyance for carrying
the ice cream packs, started with
young women as dispensers.
The contention Is made that girls
naturally take more interest in their
work, and are capable of making
more sales because of their ability
to make friends more quickly and to
handle the hokey pokey more daint-
lily than their men and boy competi-
tors.
