BATES COLLEGE.
Students Indignant at>Spurious Pub.
ication-Sophomor Debate.

Lewiston, Me, April 16.-(SpeciaD.-
Tho students Of Bates College are
somewhat indignant over the appear
ance of booklet which bears the title
Of "Athletc Talk at Bates" The book
let appeared in similar form last year
under the title of book of college
Songs" The book contains schedules
and results of various athletic games
and is filled with about 50 advertise
ments CT local dealers
AS far as the book is concerned there
is little fault to find in it's composition,
although many of the statements
therein are not accurate. The manner
in which the man who got up the ad
vcrtising sheet approached the dealers
is the thing to which the students are
objecting The gentleman, who gave
his name as Pickering, claimed to the
dealers that the book was college
publication and that any ads which
they would give him would be benefit
ting the college.
Only a small number of the books
have beer distributed and many of the
dealers who placed their ads in them
students wish it understood that there
are Oily Two college publications which
regularly appear and these are the
Bates Student and the Y. NJ. c. A

Waving the Question of Constitution
atty, the Federal Government Should

sumo. by a Means of Industrial Insur-
ance. Risks Against Accident, Sickness
and Death" In this question Bates has
the negative against L. of NJ.

for his section. His hair Is scarcely
tinged with gray; this because he
lives above the frost line Mr.. Morris
Is full of hospitality and invites his
friends to visit him and eat figs,
pecans, dry land cranberries and
smell his Chinese roses in January
and February. He sold $27.50
worth of figs from one 7-year-old
tree last year and he swears by his
cranberries, Mr. Morris has a spot
that's akin to the garden Of Eden
and he says he is really living and
he looks It, If you visit him he can
