Of Charging Cord
Price for Load Wood

An appeal was made Tuesday morn
ing to Judge Robert Cony of the local
municipal court, and to Chief A. NJ. G.
Soule of the division of inspection. de-
partment of agriculture. by a local
man who had previously protested to
an Augusta dealer In wood against the
measure Of load of hard wood deliv-
cred at his home.
Mr.. Soule explained that there was
nothin in the Maine statutes which
gave him power to act in the matter
and that the present law does not re-
quire dealers to deliver any specified
amount of wood for a given sum of
money.
This particular case calls attention
TO condition which has existed for
many years, and which appears to call
for a legislative remedy. Clarence s.
Brown, deputy State sealer of weights
and measures. said this morning that
in his annual report this year he is
asking for a change in the laws gov
erning the selling cf wood, in order
that wood dealers may he subjected
to the same form of restrictions which
apply TO dealers in coal and other
commodities.
In the appearance before Judge
CouS IL utN tIppeu mat lllE !pt-dl man
had received r bill for SIS for wood
delivered at his house The conten-
ton was that the invoice was for zone
load of wood" whereas the purcha ser
had been under the impression that
the price was for cord, Arthur Leo.
the dealer, accepted S. in payment in
full for the load of wood over which
the issue had been raised.
There was no formal charge and no
court arraignment. the matter being
settled without recourse to court ac-
ton through the good Offices Of Judge
Cony.

Program of Short Inspirational
Talks And Announcements of
Team Plans-Reports To Be
Presented At Session This
Noon

If enthusiasm and a "get 1t or
die" spirit, such as were manifest by
the members of the different mem
bership tribes at the dinner given
Tuesday noon at the Club House,
are any indication of hopes to be
realized and goals attained, then this
years drive will go over with bang
which will awaken the citizens OF
Augusta to the fact that the Au-
gusta Girls Community Club is
live wire organization and one ca
pable of accomplishing what 1t under
takes to do.
Dinner was served from IL to l
o'clock in the amusement hall OF the
Club House, the table being arrang-
ed and laid most attractively each
tribe sitting in a group by itself.
Miss Roasmond Conner, president of
the Advisory Board, Miss Gladys
Gaylord, field secretary Of the
Massachusetts League Of Girls
Clubs and Miss Muriel Haynes of
the Advisory Board. who presided
were seated at the head of the table.
The dinner started off with the
singing of club songs under the
leadership of Raymond Grant, Boys
Secretary at the "Y." During the
dinner remarks were made by Miss
Connor Miss Gaylord, Miss Haynes
and Barbara Haskell. president of
the Augusta Girls Club. The re-
marks were both spicy and inspiring
and were most encouraging to the
girls in their work not only for the
present drive but in their club en-
deavors throughout the year.
Mohawk Tribe. under the leader
ship of Margaret Nelson was up-to-
the minute in the giving of a most
redskin-like war whoop, which was
fully appreciated by the other tribes,
who were not so we'll prepared.
Miss Conner in her usual gracious
manner extended to the girls of the
club an invitation to be her guests
the first Sunday afternoon in every
| month from to 4 o'clock through
out the winter. Members who have
| been guests of Miss Conner at her
! delightful home on Elm street, ap-
prectate what a delightful time is in
store for them and those who have
not been so fortunate may look for
ward to one of the most pleasant
social happenings Of the club wear.
/ The first gathering will be next sun
day.
Miss Haynes also extended the
girls the hospitality of her home
whenever they are in Boston. Those
who were entertained by her while
IN attendance at the rallys of the
Massachusetts League, have already
lnstilled in the minds of the rest Of
the members that a call on Miss
HAYNES is almost worth a special
trip to Boston.
One pleasing report on the drive
was given by Frances Lishness this
being that she had already received
request for membership in the An
gusta Club and the payment of a.
years dues, from a girl living in
Pennington.
The work Of the drive was talked
over by the different members. after
