IT isn't henevolence to give money for
such an institution, it is simply neces-
sarv that a man have the instinct ana

The first reward for social institu-

in dollars and cents: the second re-

WARM WEATHER HELPS
CLEANING UP STREETS

The warm weather of the past two
days has done much to take the snow
of about town and the streets are now
in a very dirty condition, a good warm
rain being badly needed to clean up
things. The sidewalks are drying out
rapidly and in almost all of the down
town streets the snow is practically
all of the walks. although in some
places they are still wet owing to the
water running across them from the
lawns. \ few more days of warm
weather will make a big dent in the
snow about town In the country it is
reported that there is from two to six
feet of snow yet left in the fields and
in the roads and that it will be several
weeks vet before it is possible for it
an to disappear. \ man who was in
from one of the surrounding towns
Friday said that he usually began his
blowing shortly after the first of April,
hut that this year his fields were un
der at least four feet of snow and that
he did not expect to get to plowing any
lefore the first of May. 1t now also
looks as though there would be no set
tied travelling in the State before along
in May sometime.

PEDESTRIANS NOW AFTER
THE DRIVERS OF AUTOS

The majority of local automobile
drivers seem to forget that the wheels
of an automobile throw the mud and
dirt with which the streetsl an now
covered and as result they go
through the streets at a sharp clip,
throwing dirt and dirty water over
everyone who chances to be in the
way. Friday afternoon Street Commits
sioner Marshall was digging a trench
to get rid of some of the water a4on
Main street when a big car BE
along and it took some quick move
ments on the part of the commissions
er to keep first from getting run ovo'
and then from getting Il shower bath
In the muddy water thrown by the
wheels of the swift moving machine.
The most of the drivers also seem to
have forgotten that there is city or
dinance requiring an automobile. to
stop back of q car discharging or re-
ceiVing passengers.

BASEBALL PLANS
FOR THE SUMMER

Local baseball fans are looking for
ward to some baseball here during the
coming summer Several of the young
men who have played in past years and
some of the older business men are
hoping to see a local team that shall be
composed solely of local amateurs and
which would have games with teams
in some of the surrounding towns. There
is movement under way to organize
a league composed of the towns of Oak
land, Madison. Skowhegan, North Vas
salboro Fairfield and Waterville, each
place playing a local team which shall
be made up wholly of boys who reside
in the town for which they are playing.
While such a league would not furnish
as fast baseball as has been enjoyed
by the people of the cities in this sec
tion for time past, yet there would
undoubtedly he good deal of interest
aroused in such league. IF this could
be started there are a number Of local
men who would be willing to do their
part in backing such a league which
was to include professional players as
it would certainly be a losing venture.
The ones who are willing to give their
time to the game on an amateur basis
will ask nothing for their services and il
any money can be made by such a team
will be glad to turn it over into a
fund for sfuture years. 1t Is probable
that meeting will be called of those
interested within short time and an
organization formed and steps taken
for getting a team together. The Cen
tral Maine Fair Association has offered
the free use Of it's grounds for such
purpose and as there is now a fine dia-
mond there and good bleachers it is
probable that 1t will be used instead
of the college field for which payment
has to be made.
