UNITARIANS PLAN
ORGANIZE CHURCH

Full of enthusiasm and determined
to organize a permanent church, about
two score of the active workers in
the local Unitarian Society gathered
in the Ware Parlors Tuesday evening,
for the purpose of making plans for
complete and early formation Of
their society. Ralph ]. Patterson act
ed as chairman of the meeting. and
in his opening remarks he expressed
his opinion that a church should do
more than pay it's minister, main
tain its building and cater to the spir-
itual needs of it's members, and that
this additional activity should take this
form of contributing towards some
worthy local charities such as the AS
ISOLATED Charities and the Sanatorium
at Fairfield. The finances of the
church were taken up and discussed
at some length, and the matter Of
raising money to clear the society of
it's Indebtedness, and to start 1t anew
took UP some little time. Some Of the
members were of the belief that teams
should be appointed to go ahead and
do the soliciting, and others believed
in having a regular solicitor come and
take charge. Upon a motion that was
heartily seconded. however. it was vot-
ed to leave the mater in the hands
of the general committee, a meeting
of which will be held in the Ware
parlors at 4 o'clock next Sunday after
noon.

session, the hearing having been post
poned from that date. Alderman Fin
nemore thought that. there were too
many poles on the streets now.
Alderman Bourque objected to a
location on King street and Swan
street.
ut seems to me, Mr.. Mayor, we
ought to be getting rid of some of
our poles instead Of putting mp new
ones" remarked Alderman Annis.
City Engineer Crawford was asked
to explain the situation on the city
streets with reference to poles. The
city engineer said that some of the
streets have two lines of poles and
some three lines. On Ticonic street
there are three lines.
Temple street, the Lord knows how
many, three or four" said Mr.. Craw-
ford Maple street, King street on the
Plains, High street, Drummond ave-
nue. and Easton street, have two-pole
lines or more. Merchant court-the
sun never shines in there any way,
there are SO many wires" said Mr..
Crawford.
Frank L. Ames, representing the
Kennebec Farm & City Telephone Co,
addressed the boards. I'VE want to
be in a position to do business law
fully In common justice, local citi-
zens of this county cannot we be per-
mitted to do business with the citi-
zens of Waterville?" He said that
since Aug. l the Central Maine Power
Co. had charged his company % cents
hitch a year, and that a pole line
is cheaper.
He said that he desired the right
to do business in a lawful manner, 10
string wires on the city poles, and to
string wires in the rural sections of
the CITY, Our concern is purely CO.
operative and cannot be bought up.
The people of Somerset county have

If you give us the same amount Of

Mr.. Ames said that the New Eng

competing companies to go on its pole

I'VE did think that you would give
us the right to string wire If we
had a subscriber to reach,'' said Mr..
Ames."
1--WE people who have automobiles
around town hate to have 50 many
poles to shoot at when we go off the
right track" said Mayor Hilliard.
Mr.. Ames said he would like the
lines to the various school buildings
already existing and built upon the CT
der of the school committee, be legal
lied, and also heswould like the right
to hitch to the city poles.
Walter S. Wyman of the Central
Maine Power Co. said that the cost of
maintaining poles was greater in the
city than in the country. Another ques-
ton was the matter of liability, which
both companies on joint pole share.
The boards then took the action
noted above.

Missions in their every phase were
discussed Tuesday afternoon and
evening at the Congregational church
in what was really "A school If instruc-

of the evening previous set the ball a

an informal gathering Of the Protest
ant pastors of the city to discuss the
methods that have been adopted in II @
past for arousing iatercst in missions
in the various churches. Tile morning
session of the clergy tasted well UP I'M
til noon, and then in the afternoon
many of the church workers, officers
and others gathered TO hear more
open discussion than had taken place
the evening previous.
Rev. Horace 3. Haskell, who has
spent great many years among the
people of the Far East. especially 'he
Arabs, spoke very Interestingly on
THE Call to Prayer" citing the great
influence that prayer may have with
the people of this country at this time,
but examples from the Mauseleums,
where the people are called five times
a day to prayer en- masse. Speaking
Of prayer as a great spiritual weapon
he dwelt further on the subject and
told of its ever increasing usefulness
Mrs. Charles E. wyer of Portland
advocated the expansion of the activ-
tiles of the various ladies' organiza-
tions in the churches, and told how
they might greatly increase their eff
cheney, and she told of the successful
work now being carried on in the
State Street church in Portland Mrs.
Weyer believes that women should
contribute more in the way of service
toward missions than they do. and
one Of her prophecies was that 10
years from now home and foreign mis-
sions will have combined into one
form of mission, for after the close
of the war there is reason to believe
that America will be overlooked with
people leaving the devastated Europe.
Rev. p. H. J. Lerrigo, M. D.. the

CHANCE FOR N. Y. PAPERS
Maybe This Is the Mysterious German
Wireless Station Reported in Maine
Woods

Samuel T. Freeman at his jewe1ry
store on Maple street, has just COM
pleted the construction of one of the
few wireless telegraph stations in this
section. Waterville can now boast of
two such stations. Mr.. Freeman's APP
paratus is equipped with a Glapp-
Eastman condenser, and has an S4-foot
aerial and a span of 125 feet with
four wires, being equal in every re-
spect to the largest equipment on the
big ocean, going liners. Mr.. Freeman is
still a student of the wonderful in
vention. and the present equipment
provides only for listening privilege
reau at Arlington, a short distance
from Washington. D. c. His duties
as official watch inspector of the
Maine Central requires that he keep
accurate and correct time, and through
two signals received from Arlington
at Il NJ and 10 P NJ. absolutely cor
rect time is recorded Three minutes
before each of the appointed hours
second beats are sent out and on the
29th second tie beat is omitted, and
three beats after the seth. On the
last ten seconds of the final there are
no beats. Since the special signal
travels at the rate of $500 miles a
second the time required to come from
Arlington to Waterville is exceedingly
small. This method of transporting
the time is superior to telegraph,
when by passing through repeaters it
often loses quarter of second on
long distances. Mr. Freeman is able
to tell that messages are passing back
and forth from the various stations
along the coast and of the business at
the Cape Cod station. but he cannot
as yet deeipher the messages. Later
he will have dispatching apparatus
set in.

taken up. The campaign, which will
probably start about the first of De-
cember, will bring every individual in
even the remotest way connected with
the church into direct communication
with the members and their auxilia-
ries.
1t was not intended to make the
meetings largely attended affairs, but
to bring the church officers and work
ers together to talk the campaign
proposition over with the experts from
Boston who came to give what in
struction was necessary and to pave
the way for what should prove to be
the most successful undertaking of its
kind ever attempted in Waterville.
Many ideas that were still not clearly
understood by some of the officers
were talked over; questions were ask
ed and answered, and on the whole,
the inauguration of the idea, the spir-
it with which 1t was grasped by the
people, gives every indication that 1t
will be all that could be hoped for.
