Rhode Island Car
Reports Car Which
Struck Little Girl

P. H. Gilbert of 1855 Meadow road,
Woonsocket. r. l., reported that a car
whose make he could not determine,
and whose driver he could not identi-
fly, struck little girl on the Bangor
road near the town Of Clinton. He
said the child was taken to a hospital.
Finding a wrist watch near the scene
of the accident he paid a visit to both
hospitals in this city for the purpose
Of returning 1t to the little owner and
ascertain the extent Of her injuries,
but she could not be found in either
place.
The accident occurred about 1 p.

report was filed by any subsidiary. not
even by that OF the state Of New York,
where an expensive independent cam
paign has been carried on by highly
paid agents Of this highly subsidized
subsidiary Of its own campaigns for
public office.
These facts disclose a systematic,
Intentional and criminal purpose to
violate the law on the part of this or
ganization which has entirely set aside
one Of the great guarantees Of Ameri-
can freedom and liberty as asserted in
the constitution of the United States,
namely, the separation Of church and
state.
Moreover, this organization which
now controls the Congress of the Unit
ed States and has made mockery Of
the constitution and Of law, has paid
campaign expenses of senator's and
representatives, and has even had the
unspeakable audacity to place some
of them upon its payroll.
1T is indefensible that you should
allow to continue the notification of
the federal corrupt practices act Of
1925, and I demand that you institute
appropriate criminal proceedings
against the league and subsidiaries, as
provided in the act of 1925, and also
against the officers Of the organization
who may have been guilty of perjury.
Democratic self-government and
civil freedom in their struggle for pop

Seek Establishment
Of Bass Hatchery
At BELGRADE Lakes

DR.. Swan, president of the Summer
Citizens Bureau, has announced his
intention of bringing about con-
ference between the legislative COM
mittees Of the Bureau and the Bel
grade Lakes Association, which 1t is
expected will be held sometime be-
tween August 20 and 25. The pur-
pose of this meeting will be to work
out plans and ideas in furtherance
of the common desire to have a bass
hatchery established at Belgrade.
This move is felt to be Of great i'm
portance to the region involved for
the reason that bass fishing getting
poorer and poorer all the time, and
something must be done in the way
of properly stocking the lakes.

by business.
But now, in midsummer 1926, 1t
may be stated that much of the for
mer reserve in the high commands
of the army and navy has disap-
peared; positive and definite atten-
ton has been given by the admin
istration and congress: and, finally,
with the entrance of responsible men
and substantial capital into air
transport, the place Of aviation in
commerce and industry is now very
generally recognized. There has
been, undoubtedly, renaissance Of
flying.
1.-THE survey, which was made by
Luther K. Bell, traffic manager of
National Air Transport, and former
traffic manager of the United States
Air Mail Service, shows that no
other country in the world ap-
proaches the existing and proposed
air mail activities in the United
States.

Autos Taking New
Short Cut Across
Recently Set Cement

1t was reported about noon Satur-
day that automobiles were driving
over the new concrete road on Lock
wood street, in front Of the Crescent
Hotel. It seems that there were
openings at the ends Of the barriers
wide enough to admit the passage OF
cars, and some evidently thought this
an invitation to a short cut. Although
the cement is hard, it has not set long
enough to safely sustain traffic. When
the road Is ready the barriers will
be removed and no travelling over 1t
will be allowed until such time.

DROUGHT STILL BEING
BUSTED BY BIG RAINS

Continued improvement of stock
and ranges as a result of warm,
showery weather is the gist Of re-
ports from all parts of the grazing
area of Arizona and western New
Mexico Heavy showers in the Pres
colt section have caused an abundance
of filaree, Indian wheat and weeds to
spring up and the present condition
is an excellent one. In sections where
recent rains have been less frequent
tender vegetation has been dried
somewhat by the warm sunshine.
With good growing conditions during
the summer and proper stocking,
grazing conditions for the remainder
of year should be ideal. In the vi
cinity of Flagstaff there is the usual
amount of snow on the mountains and
stream beds dry for a number OF
years are running at the normal rate
of flow.
Anxious to get the first crop Of al
falfa off the ground ranchers have
been busily engaged in cutting de-
spite unsettled weather conditions.
Harvest of spring lettuce is on the
downward curve following the peak
reached last week. Cotton has done
much better since the advent of
warmer weather in the last six days.
Barley fields have already begun to
change color.
