Puzzle a Do,

Congress has just issued its new
Congressional Record. This is a
turkey red book containing the
names of all Washington officials.
Under each name is a brief life his
tory. Some Of these histories re-
quire only twenty-six words. while
others take over hundred.
One sentence from this book has
been cut out and. reprinted in the
squares above. The result at first
glance is unreadable. But if you
start within the square and travel
over every square in one continuous
line, without retracing your path,
you will be able to read the science.
Last puzzle answer:
When little truants grow up and
become big truants the school some
times receives pay for this lack Of
attendance. The Washington traf-
fic school fis an example. 1t re-
ceived 100 bills in payment for a
5000 fine. There were 30 one dollar
bills, making $50; 60 two dollar bills
making $500, and 10 five dollar bills
making $780, go plus so plus 10
equals 100; $50 plus 1920 Plus $50
equals $1,000

Textile Association
OF Central Maine
Meets at ElmWOOd

Inc central Maine Textile AsSocia-
ton met at the Elmwood Hotel last
evening with about so present. 1t was
the first time the textile men have
gathered in the last three months and
the meeting was in every way enjoy
able. During the delicious supper. mu-
sic was furnished by the Midnight
Owls under the leadership of Harold
McCracken, and the singing was led
by Harry Nelson of North Vassalboro.
Much enjoyed were four baritone So
los by Lindsay Dinsmore, and they
were Rose of My Heart" THE Trum-
peter" "Slave Song" and THE Little
Irish Girl"
Ernest J. Upton. president of the
association, had charge of the exer-
cises following the supper and he ex-
pressed his happiness that Waterville
was again the place of meeting. He
expressed the hope that there would
be an expansion of membership within
the near future.
Walter E. HUMPHREYS of New York,
treasurer of the National Association
Of Wool Manufacturers, was introduce
ed as the first speaker. He explained
the nature of the association with

the. importance of cooperation between
wool growers and manufacturers.
The speaker discussed at some
length the convention of wool growers
held recently in Idaho. One of the
most important questions discussed at
this time was the grazing of sheep on
government land. and said that the
sheep ranchers are not satisfied with
the uncertain and changing conditions
of today. Orderly marketing was an
other problem of discussion. Mr.
HUMPHREYS said that relations be-
tween the sheepmen and cattlemen
have become most cordial.
He stated that the report OF the
wool growers was not particularly OPP
timistic, as business has been irregu-
lar. employment has been unsteady
and there has been a shrinkage in the
price of raw wool.
A boom to the wooden industry, the
speaker said. lay in the increasing in
terest in athletics in the first years OF
this century and another impetus was
the World War. At the present time
the industry is in a slump. the reason
for this being the change in feminine
fashions.
Another phase Of the wooden indus
try that was discussed by MI. Hum
phries was the legislation affecting
manufacturers. He spoke of the diff
Guilty OF getting a satisfactory system
of marking woolens for the market.
F. e. Babcock, editor of Fibre and
Fabric Show, spoke of the textile
show which is soon to be held In Bos'
ton, and he urged his hearers to attend
Some $50 manufacturers will have dis
plays.
w W. Quinton, agent of the Lock
wood Mill in this city, said that Mr.
HUMPHREYS in his address had hit upon
some points which all the hearers
should think Of. He also spoke of the
importance of patronizing home indus
try. The new fad of wearing smocks
by women has been boon TO cotton
manufacturers. he said, and he hoped
that women would begin to abbreviate
the new costumes. Mr.. Quinton spoke
of the convention of textile men soon
to be held and said that all the execu-
tives of the Lockwood Company would
be urged to attend. In closing he
characterized this as a day that de-
mands new ideas.

Before Large Crowd

The members Of the Waterville
Boys club entertained a large number
Of people at it's first annual exhibit
ton at the club gymnasium last
evening and the results of work car
ried on there were clearly demon
strated. 1t was in the gymnasium
that the interest was centered al
though the other parts of the club
house were in operation and were WIS.,
tied by many of the people.
Marching apd calisthenic drills by
all the gymnasium classes were
stressed in the exhibition and the
boys handled themselves admirably
under the direction of George Bern
hardt, the physical director. An ex-
hibition of games was staged by the
Cadet class which won hearty APP
plause while a wand drill and tab
leau by members Of the Junior B.
class was equally good.
The Bouncing Trio made up OF
Omer Butler, Norris Nadeau and Jo-
seph Matthew did some very adept
tumbling which made up big part
Of the evenings entertainment. Roy
Adams did some clever juggling and
there was fast fencing match be-
tween Wallace Terry and Bernard
Larsen.
An exhibition game Of basketball
by teams from the Junior B. class
and an exhibition volley ball game by
teams from the intermediate class
gave the guests good insight to the
sports as they should be played. The
program was closed by some well ex-
ecuted pyramid building by num-
Der of the members.
The exhibition is to be repeated at
7.30 o'clock this evening for those

were two fights.
Saw Deputy Sheriff Cole in the
prison once when Bill Bither and
Cormier were drunk. No one was
punished.
Tracy said that he had not seen
Deputy Cole drunk, but after he had
been drinking.
On cross examination he admitted
conviction of larceny of furniture
and selling liquor, but denied his
guilt. He said that he had nothing
against Cole.
Tracy said that he was called by
Field last week and signed his affi-
dsyit after reading 1t.
Judge Connolley asked for the at
1davit and offered it. In reply to
Mr.. Carter he said this was for the
purpose of contradiction. 1t was
bought out that the affidavit was not
stenographic report of Tracy's
examination.
Tracy testified that sister of a
woman who came to see her hus-
band was in a cell with Walter Lam
sky, inside turnkey. There was
nothing to prevent looking into the
cell. He saw Cormier have bottled
liquor on the cellar floor when Cole
was present, but could not locate
the liquor definitely.
Tracy admitted his father and
brother had been convicted on liquor
charges worked up by deputies in
Guiding Cole, and that there were
cases on file against him, the wit
ness; he did not know how many.

A Timely Paper
On Observance of
Good English Month

Miss Lauretta st. Peter. a mem
Der Of the sophomore class at the
Waterville High school, is another
of the students of the school who
has written timely paper on the
observation of Good English month,
which is now being carried on at
the school, and she says:
plain living and high thinking
are the only sure corner stones on
which successful life could be
built. Why can't the knowledge of
a larger vocabulary be one of the
most important corner stones of
good English? There are many who
know sufficient number of words
but what is the good If you cannot
use them and express yourself in
exactly the way you wish to. BY
that I mean, many of us know the
answer to questions asked US but
we cannot express ourselves. Why?
Because we have a limited vocabu-
larry. -,
We have all heard the saying.

KARNAK BRINGS QUICK
RELIEF FROM AFTER
EFFECT OF THE FLU

IL Is without an equal It's declared
that a steady improvement to normal
feelings is quickly noted after the
patient takes karnak.
In lust the same manner karnak
by containing the very elements
needed by the system to give you
fighting strength, aids to ward on an
attack of Flu" or Grippe. For 1t has
been observed that the surest preven-
ton against those miserable mala =
dies is to build up the bodily powers
of resistance and to get the system in
the best possible condition. If this is
done you will be able to throw off al
most any infection, not excepting in
fluenza.
so If YOU are convalescing from an
attack of Flu" Grippe or hard
winter cold the very best thing you
can do is start a course of the kar-
max treatment. Your recovery will
be greatly fastened.
And If you are fortunate enough to
have escaped ravages of these weak
ening. wearing diseases, you shoulo
go right down to John Coughlin's or
anv other leading druggist and get a
bottle of Karnak today. This is the
very best insurance you can take
against the influenza or grippe infec-
ton. And. remember, even II you
have already had the Flu or
grippe. there's no reason why you
won't become infected again. II your
bodily resistance is lowered.
NOTE-In connection with the
Karnak itself, 1t is very important
that you keep your bowels thorough
Nv open by also taking the Karnak
pills along with the medicine.
Karnak is sold in Augusta by John
coughlin and by every other reliable
druggist in Augusta and IN every
other town,
