The cost of all electricity should
be fixed at the generating plant

cost of the COMMODITY. Now, let us
treat electricity just as we do all
other commodities. The purchaser
of commodities, wherever he may be,
or wherever the commodity may be,
should pay the price at the factory.

Student Nurses at
Augusta Hospital
Hear Field Secretary

More than $4,000 student nurses
are now enrolled in the 100 schools
of nursing in the United States, Miss
Edith J. Z. Clapp, r. N, field sec
retarv of the American Nurses AS
ISOLATION, said in an address before
the student nurses at Augusta Gen
eral hospital Tuesday evening TINS
week.
The nursing profession which had
less than 800 members in 1891, now
totals approximately 100000 and
about 1900 nurses graduate annual
Nv. Miss Clapp traced the develop
ment of the national organization,
stating that the American Nurses
Association now numbers o4,Wo
nurses in the United States, Hawaii
and Porto Rico.
The Importance of graduate nurses
registering in the states in which
they practice in order to protect the
public from those incompetent to
care for the sick, was emphasized.
Miss Clapp described the spirit of
nursing as the most treasured pos
session of the profession, pointing
out that it is not only sure tech
nioue which has made nursing a
profession, but it is because tradi-
lions have been created and follow
ed and ideals strengthened in COM
radship that nurses have been able
TO contribute so largely to health
work.

players. Red will he used to desig-
nate the New York Yankees. and vel
low the st. Louis Cardinals.
This sounds a little complicated
however. but when you see the board
you win easily be able to follow the
game. The entire installation will he
placed on the south end of the Journal
building and on the second story, so
that every one of you baseball bugs
may see it all right. Just one tip: 1t
is easier on the neck to watch the
board from the other side of the street
and it is easier on the man with the
megaphone as well, as the traffic
noises, blowing of horns and flivvors
in low gear, are much quieter if the
crowd stays across the street and
gives the automobiles a good chance
at the hill. incidentally Augusta $
John Laws will be glad of a chance to
see the game without having to work
so hard making way for the traffic.
OF course you boys-and probably
there will be many girls as we'll
know that two games will be played in
New York before the teams take the
road for St. Louis. The first game
game on Sunday. Both of these games
will be handled by the big Journal
board All games will start at 1.30.
Eastern Standard time, except on Sun
day. The Sunday game will begin
at . o'clock. On Monday the
teams will be on the road. so of course
there will be no game Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday they will
play in st. Louis, then returning to
New York if the series is still unde-
cided for the sixth and seventh
games. When the teams get to st.
Louis we run into the difference he
tween Eastern Standard time and Cen
tral Standard slime. with the result
that the game which begins at $50 in
st. Louis begins at ESQ our time.
Therefore the first game begins at $50
o'clock. the second at . O'Clock, the
next three at $50 O'Clock, and then
back to $50 and the final game, IL it
goes the limit.
Service similar to that which we
are to give in Augusta will he given
from our Gardiner office so that resi-
dents of that city may also enjoy the
game. A board of slightly different
ARRANGEMENT. but which runs on tho
same general plan, will be Installed
there and the play by play account OF
the game will be given by mcgaphone
We would certainly be glad to have
Won as our guests for the annual
broadcast of the World Series returns

Well here it is, time for the World
Series again. We OF the Kennebec
journal who look after the special
service on the games that the fans
! have come to look for and which
| they appreciate 50 much, have been
| busy for d week getting ready for the
series so that when the first ball is
pitched there won't be any hitch in
telling you about it.
The megaphone service this year
will be augmented by the big World
Series Score Board, especially con-
structed for the kennebec journal
and which is SO simple that any of
you fans, coming in after the game
is under way can tell at glance Just
how the various players are behav-
ing and how the game is going. This
board. judging from the kind words
that we have heard from some OF
you, is a great help and as has been
the case since the board was put in
use, an expert will be constantly en-
ployed keeping IT right up to the
minute.
If you don't Yell so loud when Babe
hits q homer that the telegrapher
can't hear the instrument, we will
! have every play direct from the
playing field and as quickly as it is
completed. However, the same tele-
srapher, and his name by the way is
bred Jackson, is right there with an
ear atuned to the mystic clicks of the
s1urder and it takes a lot of noise to
make him break Is they call it in
teIegrapher's parlance.
Now as to the working of the
board You viii observe from the
accompanying cut that the center
panel at the top carries what is
known as a short box score" This
will be kept up to the end of the last
half inning which has been complet-
ed and will give the number of runs
scored by each team in each inning
played. The total of runs, hits and
eros for each team will be posted in
the proper spaces in this short
box"
On the panels to the left and right
of the green diamond YOU VIII see a
space where the names of the play
ers of each team who are in the
game or have been in the game will
be posted together with their total
of runs, hits and errors. The men in
addition to abbreviation designating
them. The numbers will be as fol-
| lows; l, pitcher; 2, catcher; 8. LIST
| base; 4, End base; 3, 3rd base; g.
short stop; 7, left fielder; s, center
fielder; 9, right fielder. These num-
bers will come in handy when YOU
consider the diamond.
This diamond will carry in properly
labelled places the number of outs fol
the half inning and the number OF
balls and strikes on the man. The
number of the man at bat will be
shown at the "home plate" on the
board and the numbers of the men, ii
/ any, who may be left on bases viii
also be shown at their proper base,
By referring to the list of players
, any number may, of course, be easily
picked out.
In order to assist further, the names
of the teams will be printed on differ
