MAYHEM AND MURDER!

If you hear a loud, piercing shrek of anguish
issuing forth from this office, you can take it for
granted that l have committed mayhem upon OF
the thoughtless gentlemen who constantly Tipping
their cigar and cigarette ashes into the pin and clip

And if you see a dead body being unceremonously
dumped into the canal alongside this office you take
it for granted that another thoughtless gentleman
has been absent-mindedly picking holes in the top Of

BUT THEY'LL ALL TURN
Up" THEIR TOE.

He who can not or will not make
good at small job, can smelly
never make good at a big one, for
the simple reason that he will never
get a chance at it. Half the failures
if not all, are due largely to in
difference to present duties. 1t is
pathetic to see gifted young men
loafing on the job and frittering
away their time and opportunities.
Like Micawber, of Dickens fame
they are always waiting for some
thing to turn up, instead of turn
ing something up themselves.

Miss Doris Drummond Gives
Splendid Story of Recent
Pittsfield Meeting of Massa-
chusetts League, At Session
Monday Evening

The joys of conventions, their
comradeship, inspiration, and general
good cheer were wildly brought to
the members of the Augusta Girls
Community Club on Monday evening
by Miss Doris Drummond, who. as
League delegate from the A. G. C. c.,
has recently returned from a rally
at Pittsfield Mass.
AS Miss Drummond was the only
delegate sent from the club this
time, to her fell the task of bringing
back to the club members both the
fun and business of the rally, and
she took the members with her in
imagination on her two day trip, and
included them in her visits with club
girls from the other thirty-one clubs
affiliated with the Massachusetts
League.
The convention proper opened with
the banquet Saturday evening, at
which two hundred and fifteen girls
were gathered. The speaker of the
evening was Mrs. Laura Lord Scales.
who stressed in an interesting way
the freedom which the present dav
girl enjoys: freedom not only in
work or play but even in the very
clothes which she wears. Mrs.
Scales urged that the girls should
not give up the home life of the past,
but rather seek a way to combine
this home life with the new oppor-
tunities of working outside the home.
After Mrs. Scales talk came the
| feature program, where girls from
each club gave brief accounts of the
most important features of their res
! pective clubs. All members of the
A. G. c. c. would have been very glad
| to have been there to have heard
| Doris speak for Augusta Club on the

| Miss Drummond's account of the
| sightseeing trip which the girls
| took Sunday morning made everyone
wish they might have shared it witt

full Berkshire hills, always visible
from Pittsfield, with it's charmins

National Master Lewis j. Taber of

evening, expressed his confidence
that New England agriculture is

THAT is one of the reasons" he
said, why l am glad to come to
Maine to attend a convention that I
believe will be the largest gathering
of any agricultural or fraternal or
ganization in the history of the
world 1t is expected that more
than $4,000 Changers will be present
during at least part of the Today
program. Ten thousands candidates
will receive the seventh degree of the
order at impressive exercises Friday.
"The farm relief question is no
longer confined to the corn belt"
said Mr.. Taber. "The enormous cot
ton crop and the consequent drop In
price has extended the agitation to
| the Gulf of Mexico. The Grange has
hitherto avoided this problem but we
shall probably thrash it out here In
Portland"
