A WATERVILLE MAP

James Lowe Of Elm Terrace has in
his possession an old map Of Water
Vile which is quite a curiosity. 1t
was made in 1886 and shows every
building in the city. One has but to
look at it to realize the difference that
has been made here since then None
OF what is now the hne residential sec
ton in Nudd field and the lower end
OF Silver street had been utilized for
building and although School street
had been laid out, it had not been
named at that time. Colby College.
then called Waterville College, had but
three buildings, Coburn was the
Academy. and where the present City
building sets was the Town hall. Per-
haps the greatest change Is in the
railroads. There were two stations in
the city then one at the foot Of what
is now Temple street and the other
where the plant Of the Armour Beef
Co. now stands. The old line went up
the river bank behind the colleges.
About the only thing as now was the
position Of the churches and the ho-
tel which even then occupied the same
sites that they do today. The map is
quite a curiosity and is highly valued
by Mr.. Lowe.

In referring to her belief that Maine
would ere long grant suffrage to women,
Miss Gordon referred to the campaign
in Pennsylvania, New York. Massachu-

be increased three-fold. This vote num-

RIBBONERS JUBILANT
Continued from Page One)

SIG, 1880 Less tobacco is being used
sively dispose of one of the stock ar
guments of the liquor interests, name
~, that prohibition does not prohibit
and that with the growth of dry ter
ritory the consumption Of liquor in
creases. Notwithstanding indications
on every hand to the contrary, journals
of the liquor trade, prohibition
platform orators, and writer's of liquor
publicity articles in the general press
reiterate the statement that legislation
has not and never will have any effect
upon the amount Of liquor consumed
The statistics of the Internal Revenue
department dispose most effectively of
these falsifcations.
in 1906" said Miss Gordon, the
brewers spent in the extension of their
plants the sum of s14.600.o00 while the
churches spent only s5.630,0o0 in build
ing operations. but in 1918 the brewers
spent under 100000, while the
churches spent s14.s7o,0o0. Still more
startling are the figures for the first
four months of 1914. which show only
$4,000 for brewery extension and s4,-
100000 for new church buildings.
Civilizations Demands
The civilization of today necessi-
tates the prohibition Of every civic and
industrial condition antagonistic to
life and efficiency. The drinking of al
coholic liquor causes greater loss Of
life and efficiency than all other evils
combined. Women are not lacking in
common sense and an insight into
strategic situations, and they wonder
why the liquor men are at tremendous
expense to fight a prohibitory law if
they really believe that, under prohi-
bition, they sell more liquor than I'M
der license law. If consistent in their
belief they should subscribe to our
campaign funds and help US win our
fight"
Miss Gordon described in detail the
debate in the House of Representatives
at Washington and the Hobson bill
providing for a referendum to the
states on the question of constitution
al prohibition. One hundred and nine
ty-seven members of the House Of
Representatives favored the bill. AL
though the liquor trade announced a
big defeat for the Hobson bill. every
brewer every distiller and every re-
tail liquor dealer knows that the ma
jority. vote in the House means a big
defeat for their business and a bigger
one soon to follow.

the Car Of Russia. Miss Gordon stated
that there are today 17o.OoO.OOo new Rus

The practice of the Colby football
team Wednesday was the longest and
best so far held with about 20 men

candidates were given a long drill in
catching forward passes and the backs
a careful drill in handling of the ball,
while the entire squad was put
through course of falling on the ball
ana tackling. Among the new men,
Cary, who is out for the team, made
perhaps the best showing. He was re-
marka bly, accurate in handling throws
and seemed to know just what to do
with the ball when he got it in his
hands. Among the new arrivals We'd
nesday were olseth and Fraser both
