Pageant Expert to Coach Students,

Pageant Expert to Coach Students.
Miss Lolita Clark of Boston has
been secured to coach and direct
the production of the Colby College
centennial pageant. Miss Clark is
a teacher of history in Boston Nor
NAL school and is one of the most
successful pageant masters in the
country
Miss Clark first became interest
ed In pageantry at Oxford, Eng.
Twelve years ago when she saw the
interest and the great influence
that the pageant there had on the
people. She recognized the fact
that the pageant might become u
force IN social. educational. ana
civil work by bringing the people
together and awakening an inter-
est that would lead to greater en-
deavor. On her return to this
country, Miss Clark helped to in
troduce the English form of
pageant into America. She was
one of the founders of the Amer;-
can Pageant Association and is at
the present time one of the board
of directors
She directed The Pageant OF
the Perfect City" in Boston; The
Pageant of the y. W. c. A." in
Boston and at the Association s
National Convention at Richmond.
Va; THE Pageant of Worcester"
at Clark University. and many
others. In addition to this work
she has given courses in pagean-
try at Boston University. the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin and Della
ware College.
Under such able directorship
the Colby Pageant cannot fail to be
eminently successful
On account Of the fact that ey-
amlnations at Clarke college con
hlct with the date set for the Tri-
angular debate between Colby,
Clark and Tufts it has been found
necessary to postpone the date of
the debate from April 80 to May II.
This date was first made by Tufts
without thought and was agreed to
by all. The new date is declared
by the Colby Society
as it will allow more time in which
to prepare.

Tive Cooperative Bull Associations
Organized Past Week
Bayfield, County Farmers Rapidly See
Ing Value Of Pure Bred
Herds.

The farmers of Bayfield, Coun-
ty are more and more realizing
the Importance of the purebred
/ sire to improve their herds.
During the past week Mr.. v. e.
Brubaker, County Agent, organ
lied two cooperative bull asso-
Citations. one at Herbster and
one at Drummond, with the as
sistance of Mr.. J. G. Winkjer,
of the u. S. Department of Agr.
Washington, D. G. Definite
arrangements were made to or
ganize other bull associations at
Port Wing, C0rnucopia, Cable
and Mason.
1t is the plan of the associ-
ations to buy from $30(' to $500
purebred bulls, comparatively
and use them on their herds,
and in this way improve their
herd much faster than just using
ordinary pcrebreds without
records. We nave many more
bulls in some of Our communities.
The bull association encourages
better bull with less investment
per farmer.
Each Association has from
one to five blocks, consisting of
SO to 20 cows. and one purebred
sire. Ifthe Association organize
and has three blocks. they buy
three bulls for their $50 to 200
cows. and this one Investment is
good for six to ten years as the
bulls from each block are ex-
changed each two or three years.
The Holstein Breeders Asso-
citation at Mason, is making
great progress getting new
members and boosting their
breed of cattle. Their plan is to
organize a Bull Association soon
and buy two or three bulls cost.

Mr.. Brubaker treated 1000
bushels of seed grain for the
farmers in all parts of the coun-
ty for different diseases, as

The guarantee should state also
that the conditions specified therein
are in accordance with the results Of
test made by an independent labora-
tory or recognized standing, and the
name of this laboratory should be
given.
Motorist should also know that
quite few of the patented lenses dc

ticularly those that broadly scatter
the beam of light through wide

similar principles. Likewise all

ply.
Remember also that the vibration
of the car may change the adjust
ment and that new lamp bulbs must
be installed when the lamps burn
out. Have your dealer show you
how to keep sour headlights prop
erly adjusted.
Dazzling headlights have long
been nuisance and a menace to the
comfort and safety of motorists and
others who use the highway. Every
motorist should comply with the
new orders. not only because they
are law, but also because they make
night driving safer and more

Automobile accidents are on the
increase and glare from headlight 10
one of the principal causes. Both
Insufficient light and unnecessary
dazzle are dangerous.
TO remedy these evils and to make
the use of the highways safe for
all persons, the legislature passed q
law requiring all motor-driyen
vehicles to be equipped with lights
which will enable motorist to dis
tinguish substantial object goo
feet ahead, but which atsthe same
time must be free from dangerous
glare or dazzle. The legislature
also made it the duty of the In
dustrial Commission to fix the stand
ards VIII ch will meet these general
requirements.
The Industrial Commission has
now discharged this duty, and upon
the advice of committee OF experts
in this field and after extensive pub
lie hearings has issued orders on
automobile lights. These orders
became effective May /, 1920, and
have the force oflaw. If an accident
happens and your lights do not COM
ply with these orders. this is, in law,
conclusive evidence of negligence on
your part.
Motorists cannot satisfy the new
orders by merely painting the top of
their lens. 1t is entirely possible to
comply with the new orders without
buying any patented devices, but to
do so motorists must pay attention
to- having their lamps Of the proper
candle power rating, 10 the proper
focusing of lamps in their rehectcrs,
and to the power fitting of the head
lights, if any is required. Instruc-
tions upon how motorists may COM
ply with the new orders without buy
ing special lenses are now in the
hands of the state printer. A card
addressed to the Industrial. Com
mission, Madison, will bring you
copy of these instructions. Do not
attempt to make adjustments with
out having these instructions, or else
consult your garage man.
Many motorists will prefer to buy
the better kinds of special lenses be-
cause they are not expensive and if
properly adjusted will give superior
results. No specific type of "lens"
or ether non-glare device isrequired.
The regulations state the results
that must be secured, and any de-
vice that complies with these re-
quirements is legal. There is no
approved list of lenses. Even the
best lens will not meet the require
ments If it is not properly adjusted.
When you buy patented lens be
sure that you get the right kind of a
guarantee. A guarantee which
merely states that particular lens
meets the state requirements is
practically useless. To be worth
any thing the guarantee should corr
