Bangor=C0burn
Football Question.

Principal George II. Larrabee OF
Bangor High school stated. Thursday,
that Bangor High school has received
no challenge from Coburn, and that
he did not anticipate that Bangor will
challenge the Waterville team. I'VE
tried in the summer to arrange a
game with Coburn for the fall but
were unable to do so. Our sch edule
regard to weather conditions i'll the
near future would seem to make the
meeting out of the question
Bangor followers of the football
sport awaited with interest the esult
of the game. Wednesday, between
Coburn and Higgins in which the for
mer won, SO to 0, and instantly the de-
sire was freely expressed for the Co.
burn and Bangor teams to meet fol
the prep school championship. Witf
the victory over Higgins, Coburr
claims the championship, an honoa
which Bangor believes is as much due
to her, and everybody has been anx-
ious to see Coburn and Bangor settle
the dispute
Bangor ends her season undefeated
and Coburn has been equally success
full, and it seems that both must be
satisfied with its record without either
laying claim to the championship,
which under present conditions cannot
be determined. AS the matter is now,
Coburn is champion of the private
schools, and Bangor is champion of the
public high schools No one will ques-
ton the claim of the two schools to
that title.

PUTTING DOWN THE OYSTER.
Public Welfare Demands That Pro
life Bivalve Be Eaten.

Perhaps one of the pleasantest ways
of doing public welfare work Is to eat
oysters. In the mad rush of modern
life few, if any, persons have reflected
on this. But 1t is part of the job OF
the president, the three vice. preslr
dents, and the forty three directors of
the oyster Growers and Dealers AS
ISOLATION, of North America. and they
have not failed in their task, as witt
ness today's outgiving:
AN oyster is wonderfully PROLIFIC.
A single oyster in a single season will
produce thirty million eggs. II these
all survived and in turn had normal
families in few years. Long Island
Sound, Peconic GARDENERS. Narragan-
sett. Great South. and Chesapeake
Bays would become filled up. Navi-.
CATION would have to be suspended.
The oyster shells would form solid
land, as do the houses of the coral
insects of the South Pacific. But In
stead of increasing. the destruction OF
the young oysters by their enemies IN
SO great, together with the depletion
of the natural beds by the demand by.
mankind, that far from increasing, in
past years the supply was greatly de-
pleteu+ In many cases II HAS tutt
ened to become extinct. This was es-
pecially true in Great Britain and
some places on the Atlantic Coast
I'm recent years, however, vast
| industry has been established Tor the
artificial propagation and cultivation
| of oysters. Now hundreds OF thou-
| sands of acres are employed in oyster
| farming in the great bays and sounds
| of the Atlantic seaboard. Here oyster
farming under from thirty TO sixty
| feet of water is conducted upon an
| enormous scale"
