Further accumulation of General

Buying of long term U. S. govern

without much effect on prices.
The demand for the latter matur-
tiles in the government list lifted the
two treasury issues and the first and

High has just closed one of the most
successful baseball seasons in the
history of the school. The boys
have won IL games and lost four.
The Hallowell team had the honor
of twice defeating Cony and was the
only team in the kennebec Valley to
do it.
The Hallowell team was very for
tunate in having Carbino, south
paw, who won every game he pitch
ed during the season. Everett Hink-
ley also pitched good ball, especially
at Bath, where he held Morse team
to four hits.
Hallowell will loose by gradua-
