HIGH SCHOOL
 WINS i ID ]

By 8 score of II to 2 the Skag- way High School Girls basket ball team defeated the White Pass team in the gymnasium last night. The series of games now stands two to one in favor of the White Pass.
 A large and enthusiastic crowd greeted the players last night and when the High School team came out on top the audience fairly went wild. Both sides played exception ally fine ball, and much credit should be given the losers for hold ing the score down as low as it is. Although the High School team is much lighter than their opponents they showed the effect of practice, and their sped and accuracy i'll basket shooting won the game.
 The contests between the two teams have always been close, and although the White Pass girls have heretofore won by a few baskets they have by no means as yet cinched the series.
 An exceptionally good game for the winning side was played by Vivian Talbot, as guard, who time and again prevented the losers from scoring. Verne Miller, as for ward, was responsible for many of the baskets, while Gertrude Lid dicOat, as center piloted the game to victory. Lela Malan and Edna Achison both played consist ently and aided in the team work tbat counts so much in any game
 Fer the losers Miss Muriel Stew art was easily the star. At her position of guard she prevent ed the White Pass team from being badly defeated. Martha Lee as cen ter, also played fine ball.
 A dance followed the game which was participatd in by large crowd witA Vivian Talbot and Verne Mil Ter furnishing the music.
 Two pickup mems teams were organized on the floor last night aud gave an exhibition of 'ye old stufr' ball, the final score being 3 to 5 in favor of the Ruff Necks, While tue "Loafers" played a good game they were too heavy on their feet to compete with their thick necked rivals.
 For the girls game Victor Sparks was time-keeper, Abbie Crepeau, score keeper, and Mike Ross, umpire Vic CT Sparks umpired the mems game.

who have made a careful canvass Of the

that We have SUFFICIENT food II Il is eco

FAIR DIRECTORS DECLINE
REELECTION TO OFFICE

Appreciation should be expressed for the
present management of the Central Maine
Pair. When President Whitcomb and his
fellow directors were elected a series OF
rainy weeks had left the association with
a deficit of about 5000 Loyal citizens OF
Waterville and vicinity had advanced the
amount in sums of 800 each, taking notes
therefor. With this handicap the fair has
not only been maintained, but improved.
Substantial and important new features
have been added, such as the educational
Judging of live stock, the employment OF
more highly trained judges, the institution
of live stock judging contests for boys,
the auction of purse bred stock, and the
opening entries to animals from other
states which has brought here animals
and exhibitors from nearly all the other
New England states.
And along with this has come financial
success sufficient to enable the manage
ment to take UP some of the notes in full,
to pay interest on all. and a dividend OF
80 1-3 per cent on the principal. With
this record behind them the directors now
voluntarily renounce reelection as direc-
tors at the same time offering their SER
vices in any capacity in which they may
he found useful for the sake Of enabling
the fair TO be reorsanized on broader
basis. with a view to Its still further i'm
proyement.

HELP LACK HINDERS
STATE ROAD WORK

Work on the State road between this
city and Oakland is progressing slowly,
the contractors having been bothered all
the year by inability to obtain suf1c!ent
la bor. The Waterville end of the road
is fairly well under way and most of the
grading has been completed and a long
stretch Of the crawling has been put In
place and is being rolled with a steam
roller.
In the long stretch OF clay extending
from the Baldc farm to Penney hill sew
eral culverts have been placed with the
drains running down across the fields, so
that il is expected this place will be kept
dry during the fall and spring seasons
when It is usually nothing more than a
log hole. In the worst places the dirt
has been all taken out and filed in with
rocks, thus providing for thorough under
drain. Penney hill has been cut down
many feet and by dra gging some of the
dirt from the top down toward the bot
tom, The hill has been made considerably
less steep but rather longer than before
while the grade up into the road which
branches out from the hill has been made
much sleeper owing to the changes. The
gravel for the road has been taken from
the Pooler pit and is declared BY road ex-
perts to be OF exceptional ability for road

YOUNG PEOPLE INSIST
they SAW A|RSHIP

Two local young people, who were
returning early Monday morning from
visit to relatives in the western part
OF the State, declare that they saw an
alrship distinctly several miles below
Gardiner and that IL followed along
over the road, going ahead Of the car
and then swinging in a wide circle and
coming back again.
Their attention was attracted first to
a loud explosion which occurred an
parently behind their car. The driver
thought at first that il was tire
blowing out and stopped the car to
investigate He found his tires all
right but heard the noise of a high
speed motor in the air. Looking I'D he
saw machine at no great distance
above the earth. He got back into his
car and started along and the aero
plane was apparently following them. A
little way farther along there was an
other explosion behind the car lust as
the plane had circled over them. The
air visitor followed for some distance
ard then turned and disappeared back
down the river. Both people in the car
admit that they were badly frightened
by the heavenly visitor, but declare
that they both saw il distinctly several
times and that there could be no cues
ton about there being an airship above
them.

FOOD CONSERVATION
WORK VERY SATISFACTORY

The local members Of the food con-
servation committees cleaned up the
city pretty we'll on Monday and the
cards pledging care in the use Of va
rious foods are now to be seen in the
front windows OF most OF the houses
in the city.
The ladies who did the canvassinr
for the signatures to the cards report
ed that in practically every instance
they were met with ready response.
and that all approached were perfect
ly willing TO sign, and all expressed
themselves as being determined to do
their share in helping by conserving
all the food possible in their house
hold Among the Russian Jews the
request not to use so much wheat met
With statement that they did NOT
use anywhere near the maximum
which was given in the cards. Thew
use rye to great extent, and although
they find 1t costler than the wheat
bread as they have to send to Lewis
ton for the rye, yet they were brought
up to eat it. and find that they can
do SO easily now, and in this way
make a good saving on the wheat that
they would ordinarily use.

COLBY BOYS AS
FREIGHT HELP

The Maine Central Railroad and the
Colby students have found a way to
be mutually helpful The shortage Of
men to handle freight and the short
age Of money in the pockets Of the
students brought about a condition Of
affairs that enabled each to be helpful
to the other. The husky young college
boys found it rather interesting work
during spare time juggling big boxes
Of freight about and at the same time
it enabled them to materially increase
their resources. The railroad On its
part found that the boys were good
workers and that their assistance in
relieving the freight congestion at the
local depot was of great value.
The boys work at any time, day or
night, which is available from their
studies. There is always plenty for
them to do and whether they work
one hour or three, their services are
of value to the management. The coll
lege boys for the past few years have
provided fine corps of emergency
workers for the railroad and have been
used in every department and have
proven themselves exceptionally valu-
able when a sudden emergency like
a severe winter storm has required the
services of extra men. In this service
