Gilbert Tribbitt met with a rather SER
( ious mishap on Saturday evening last.
While riding his motorcycle he in some
unaccountable manner lost control Of the
machine while running at a high rate Of
| speed The machine struck a post and
threw him with terrific force several feet
from the machine. the result being a
lacerated head and face, badly sprained
ankle and numerous bodily cuts and
bruises. He thinks himself that it was
miraculous how he escaped without a
| fractured skull or broken limbs. He was
taken in an automobile and hurried to a
doctor where his wounds we're dressed
He is getting along as well as can be
expected at this writing and hope to
soon be able to return to his work at
Fort Salisbury, where he has been en-
gagged for some time.

Everything the farmer buys costs him
more and more.
He pays twice and three times what he
used to pay for labor-when he can get it at
all-and for farm machinery. and for fertil-
izer, and for his household necessities. And
he pays a big share of his profits right back
to the Government in the shape of income
taxes
So it is only FAIR that the farmer should
have high price for his wheat
But even if it were not fair. still the truth
is, that unless the farmers can be induced to
increase the production of food, victory will
be just that much further away. and it will
cost just that much more in blood and money
to reach it.
And the surest way to increase the pro-
duction of foodstufs is to make that produc-
ton profitable to those who invest money,
land and labor in that necessary vitality
necessary occupation.
We think the House has made mistake
in rejecting the Senate's proposal to fix the
price of wheat at $3.50 and we do hope that
the House will see its way clear to recon.
sideraton of its action.

HEARING TO DETERMINE
VALUE OF PROPERTY

At the Aldermen's rooms at City
hall Wednesday noon there was a
hearing before the County Commits
sioners for the purpose of determin-
ing the value of the property of Abra-
ham Joseph vs.. the City Of Water
vile, al which No decision was made,
but the meeting adjourned to next
Tuesday to be held AT Augusta.
The City was represented by
Charles Atchley while Mr.. Joseph
was represented by Hon. w. r. Pat
tangall Of Augusta. The witnesses
called were Hon. w. T. Haines, H..
x. Abbott, Horace Purington, Colby
Blaisdell and Howard Morse, whose
estimates of the value of the proper
W ranged from $4,000 to $500. Sanger
Annis stated that the tax value was

destroyed by fire some time last
winter, and has been condemned by
the City of Waterville and taken over

Teachers Meeting

AT a special meeting of the teach
,ers in the city, held Tuesday evening
at the Supt. of Schools Office, the
matter in regard to paying the teach
ers for the time lost during the ep
idemic was taken up and discussed
thoroughly. and finally decision was
made to give the teachers full pay
for the two weeks for which they
have not received their pay. AS yet
there has been no endeavor to make
I'D the time lost, but this decision
was made with the understanding
that the full years work be ac-
come. This means harder work for
the pupils and teachers, but it can be
done.
Another matter which was brought
I'D was that in regard to the resigna-
ton of Supt. Perkins. The members
Of the board expressed their regret
in the departure of the superintend-
emit, who has spent years in the
city for the betterment Of the schools,
but Mr. Perkins feels that his pro-
fessional advancement demanded that
he make the change and accept the
position at Waltham, Mass. A COM
mittee consisting of Judge Matthew,
the Chairman, Harold Dubord and
Edward Hall will have charge of OBJ
tanning a successor to Supt. Perkins.
and steps will be taken at once. as
Mr.. Perkins plans to leave the city
about Dec. LIST.
The manual training department
was discussed. The teacher, Mr..
Eagan, objects to working more than
five hours a day. and as the whole
number of pupils who should take the
course cannot be accommod ated in
thai time it will be necessary to en-
gage an assistant in that work.
After discussing the work, it was de-
cided by the board that Mr.. Perkins
should make a schedule Of the work
to be done and give it to Mr.. Eagan
for his wark. Mr.. Eagans salary is
$1,000 year.
