kENT'S HILL NOTES

A list of some 16 men have signified
their intention of trying out for the 1917
debating team which will meet Hebron in
the annual contest in March. During the
vacation now being enjoyed t..ese men
material for the debate. Many of the
boys plan to visit public and other libra
ries in the cities in search of material.
The question is: Resolved, That Capital
and Labor Should Be Compelled to Settle
Their Disputes by Arbitration Before Le-
gally Established Boards" With the con-
troversy over the Adamson law in full
swing in all the papers and magazines,
material ought not to be lacking. AS
Roger De Coverley says, Much can be
said on both Sides" and a lively debate
is expected when the candidates for the
team are given their tryout. Kents Hill
has the negative Of the question. The
team is chosen by process of elimina-
ton. the final debate between the leading
six being held before the school, after
which competent judges select the four
who shall form the competing varsity.
A new course in piano sight reading
will be given by the conservatory Of mu-
sic during the next term. This class is
divided into groups of four members and
each group is given instruction separate
ly. Miss Bagley will have charge of the
work.
The holiday number of the Breeze has
been published and shows the variety OF
literary talent in school. A special Christ
mas cover and page Of holiday greetings
make it a beautiful magazine. An effort
was made to make it an alumni number
primarily and the 16 pages devoted to this
one department show that the hopes Of
the editors in this respect were realized.
Miss Davis of the faculty. who knows
more alumni than any other living person,
has directed the work of this department
in her capacity as alumni advisory editor.

FIX BLAME FOR
PAPER SHORTAGE

Washington, Dec. 17.-That the Fed

ton to fix the responsibility for the
present shortage in it's news print
paper where it belongs was the warn
ing issued by Commissioner Joseph e.
Davies of the commission to the rep
resentatives of the manufacturers and
publishers who met again Saturday to
discuss plans for relieving the present
tension by pro rata distribution Of
the supply of paper. Commissioner Da-
vies indicated that, even though q
temporary expedient might be agreed
upon, the commission would continue
it's efforts to determine who is re-
sponsible for the shortage, if there be
one.
Already it has been shown the man
ufacturers made no effort to increase
production. as the publishers suggest

however. offer to sell sufficient
quantity of paper, at the average con-
tract price for 1917, to satisfy the wants
Of the smaller papers, provided the
larger newspapers would take per
cent. or Whereabouts of the amounts off
their current contracts, the paper thus
being released to go into pool for the
benefit of the small publishers. This
proposition was discussed at length by
the publishers. who were unable to
agree that it would relieve the situa-
ton.
William c. Ridgway, in behalf of the
jobbers, offered to buy the paper from
the mills at the average contract price

ment says: 1T is the opinion Of paper
consumers generally that there exists

Potatoes Moving
In Aroostook at
Reduced Prices -.

Caribou, Me-, Dec. 1.-THE slump in
prices, which hit the potato market, the
middle of last month is slowly being
overcome and there are more ship
ments now then there were at any
time in the past four or five weeks.
Although the price is low and the farm
ers are getting only $685. and $3.50 a
barrel, the owners Of the stock are
perfectly willing to part with it. Sever
al of the farmers who refused to sell
their potatoes at the 81 figure and still
held on to their crop with jealous
hands, when the price dropped a little
below 81, are regretting their choice
and wish they had sold out several
weeks ago. One man who refused to
take $3.50 just when the slump began,
and said that he hated to see lower
than 81 when he had once passed up
the opportunity to do so, has been
forced to change his mind considerably.
He sold two carload lots for $685. last
week and was glad for the opportunity
to do so. It is hoped that the price
will pick up again, but many OF the
buyers do not believe the farmers will
have q chance to sell Tor ~ Tor table
stock again this year.
In fact, the potato business has been
so poor the past few weeks that the
buyers have turned their attention to
hay and are making a pretty good
thing out Of that crop. To be sure
there is not nearly as much profit on
a car of hay as in a car of potatoes,
but the buyers who are handling the
bulk of the crop claim they are doing
nearly as well as with the spuds.
The fertilizer men in the vicinity Of
Caribou are doing good business now
and already the carload lots of fertil-
izer have begun to come in. The farm
ers. or many of them, are putting a
great deal of money into the land this
year and are looking for another ia
vorable potato crop.

POTATOES R0TT1NG
IN THE CARS IN
NEW YORK CITY

The New York; Packer says: The
trade never saw such a dull potato
market at this season of the year as
has prevailed in New York for the past
two weeks. Although prices remain
high, trading Is practically stagnant
and the losses that some of the re.
ceivers are taking on some high priced
potatoes are very heavy. The potatoes
are just simply moving and there are
only about 200 cars in the 33rd street
and Harlem river yards but despite
this fact, an embargo was placed by
the railroad at Harlem river Monday.
Some of the cars have been in the
yards several weeks and the potatoes
cost as high as s1.S5 per bushel deliv-
cred there. The holders are trying to
sell them for any price they can get,
as they are naturally deterioratihg in
quality. Some potatoes that cost close
on to 81 per bushel laid down in New
York are being peddled out slowly at
$1.35@1.5O. .,~
Not only have the high prices cur
tailed the demand on Northern pota-
toes but the receipts of the second
crop of Virginia spuds on the docks
have been very large the past week or
so. These Virginia potatoes are selling
on the docks at $1@1.25 per barrel less
than prices ruling on Maine and New
York stock in the yards. Virginia po-
tatoes are good lockers and, receivers
are getting from 81 to $4.35, mostly
$4.25 per barrel for them here.
Despite the slow demand here and
the weak condition of the market the
farmers in Maine and New York state
are extremely firm in their ideas and
show no anxiety whatever to sell. Up
in Aroostook county. Me-. shippers
are paying the farmers 81 per barrel
but they are not getting many pota-
toes at that price. Quotations from
there are $1.60 and $165 delivered at
Harlem River and there are very few
orders hits week by Maine potatoes
delivered in New York. although the
prices quoted by the shippers are just
about what the farmers are holding
their potatoes for at loading station.
Practically nothing is doing along
the Maine Central railroad. Some of
the biggest shippers are idle because
they say they can not get the pota-
toes at prices at which they can sell
in New York. They are offering the
farmers s1.4O per bushel but are get
ting no stock.
Pennsylvania potatoes are quiet.
Shippers rae getting $1.55 at loading
station and $1.63 and $1.65 delivered
New York.

BOWD0iN !. FENCING
TEAMS SCHEDULE
IS MADE PUBLIC

Brunswick, Me-, Dec. 17.-(SpeciaO.
Manager Julian Gray of the Bowdoin
fencing team has just completed the
arrangement Of the schedule for the
winters matches, the first of which
takes place next month. The schedule
is as follows:
Jan. 19-Harvard at Cambridge.

ed in the New York match competing
with the Army and Navy teams. Har-
ward, Yale and Columbia. This is fast
company for the Brunswick swords
men, Bowdoin being the only small
college to compete. The New York
meet will take place probably in the
middle of April.
Manager Gray is also trying to ar
range matches with Amherst and Wes
leyan at their respectives colleges.
Both these colleges are young at the
game. this being the first year they
have had intercollegiate contests.
Bowdoin expects to have strong
team this year with five veterans
among the Is men in the squad. The
services of J. Leslabay, Boston fenc-
ing master, who is Harvard's regular
coach, have been secured, and the
team will not be ignorant of the finer
points of the game as in former years
when no regular coach had charge of
the squad. The team lost but one man
this year by graduation, Captain Har-
graves. Julian Gray, who succeeds him,
is an experienced and clever swords
man and can be depended upon to beat
his man. The other veterans are Stan
wood l.. Hanson IS, H. Tobey Moors
Is, Richard T. Schlosberg IS and Cor
don S. Hargraves 10. Among the
promising new men is Lewis A. Bur-
leigh 10, of Augusta, who is showing
up exceedingly well for his first year
