Washington, Feb. 25.-Criticisms of
Postmaster General Burleson's action
in apolishing the 50-mile parcels post
zones and extending the services low
rates to territory within the 15o,mile
zones blocked passage of the post Of
flee appropriation bill in the Senate
today.
Senators Bryan and Bristow led the
attack, the latter questioning other
senators one by one as to whether they
regarded the rates as fair to the places
having the short haul.
"The American people have benefit
ted from the postmaster generals
change" replied Senator Vardaman,
"and any way no system is perfect.
Senator Williams disagreed with his
colleague and declared the express
companies would not be permitted for
a minute to discriminate against the
short haul as the government was do
ing.
"Oh, the express companies soaked
them on both the short and long hauls,
when it had chance" interrupted
Senator Lane.

BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET !
HEREONE OF BIGGEST EVENTS
OF YEAR" ."BOOM" GARDINER

the need of homes he pointed to the fact
that South Gardiner mas the logical way
to grow, and that the extension of the
water mains that way and the possible
locating of an electric line were two
things that were much needed. "If trans
portation can be had" he said, "Gardi-
nerss cup of prosperity will be full to
overhowing."
The next speaker was Henry Richards,
a trustee of the Water District, who ad-
vocated the installation of a filter plant
and the extending of the mains to South
Gardiner. The speaker answered the ay-
guments that have been presented against
both measures. He stated the necessary
repairs had been made and also two re-
ductions in rates and that the trustees
now deemed that the time had arrived
when both these plans should be put
through Said he: Gardiner needs
South Gardiner. 1t is one of her best
assets II you want to risk your health
and do your best to check the growth of
your city. join the knockers and vote
no But If you stand for health and
progress. face forward with the boosters
and vote yes Gentlemen, it Is up to
you"
Justice A. NJ. Spear was given an ova-
tion when he arose TO address the gath
ering on 'Gardiner's Need of a New High
School Building" His argument was
concise and logical and was presented
with a force that was unanswerable. Be
ginning at the separation of Maine from
Massachusetts, in 1920 he traced the edu-
cationai situation. ut is the schools OF
the State that has produced her men,
and her men have been power In our
national government. Reason after rea-
son for the building of the new school
was presented with force that carried
conviction. His plea for the continuance
of receiving tuition pupils even at IL
nancial expense was especially strong.
Edwin T. Munger, general manager
of our electric railway system, was
next introduced. Although his remarks
were brief he proved to be an apt
speaker and held the attention or his
auditors closely. He said that he came
as a stranger and knew but little OF
the situation but hoped to become
more familiar as time went on.
Walter s. Wyman, manager OF the
Central Maine Power Co, was the last
sneaker and dwelt upon the electrical
development of the city and surround
ings.
The company then rose and the sing
ing of America under the leadership
of N. H. Trafton closed the evening.

sentative citizens of Gardiner that

servatories Of B. H. Gardiner. The
handsome menu cards were doanted
by l.. Y. Clark.
Shortly after 7.30 o'clock, Pres. E.
w. Ellis issued the call to be seated at
the tables. An orchestra, under the
leadership of G. NJ. Lancy. furnished
the music. The e-epense Of the orchestra
was assumed by r. P. Hazard.
The Ideal restaurant were the cater
ers and provided fine spread, the fol-
lowing being the menu: Grape fruit,
turkey. cold meats. escolloped oysters,
mashed potatoes, turnip. squash, eel
cry. olives, pickles. hot rolls, ice
cream and cake, oranges, grapes, oa-
nanas. Rev John Evans invoked a
blessing.
After the banquet cigars were lighted
and with Edwin w. Ellis as toastmas-
ter. the post -prandial speeches were
given.
The entrance of Samuel S. Davis was
followed by a burst of applause MT
Davis is nearly 80 years of age, char-
ter member of the board and for many
wears its collector His enthusiasm in
re,ard 10 the Board of Trade is fer

The first speaker of the evening was
Hon. Geo. w Heselton, who spoke upon
"yNhat Can BE Done to Foster Gardner

said that Gardiner had reason for con-
graduating herself upon her prosperity,
and compared the industries and cohai-
tions of the present time with those OF

that ever came to Gardiner was the ao-

ceded that the city has made Sood
