BUSINESS MEN TO HELP
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

A group of men who are Interested
in the athletics of the Watcrville high
school are to hold a one-day dollar
drive in behalf of the boys because
of the increased expenses of playing
q game. The Colby athletic field can
be secured only by the payment of the
sum of $50. which works hardship
on the boys, who just about make ex-
penses as it is without the added en-
pense. The former charge for the use
of the field was IS, and even this was
sometimes hard to meet.
So today before the game and at the
game this group of men who are in
terested will visit the business sec
ton of the city and endeavor to in
terest 100 or more persons in this
drive. SO that a matter of 500 may be
collected This sum. it is argued. will
not work a hardship on anyone. If
anyone wishes to give more it will ne
gratefully accepted. 1t was thought
that this game would be played on the
Central Maine Fair grounds, but FRI
day it was decided that it would be
better to have the game at Seaverns
Field.
The public is asked to give the boys
good patronage and help them along
with their presence and financia las
sistance. There is a good team and
| the boys are working hard to make il
{, credit TO the school.

Posted Speakers
at Americanization
Meet, COny High Hall

A very interesting and instructive
meeting along the lines of American
! ism" was held in the assembly hall
at Cony High school Friday evening.
Due to the rain which fell in the
early evening the attendance was not
| as large, as could be desired but
what it lacked in size was more than
off set by the desire of those present
to get to the bottom of this problem.
| Augusta was fortunate in securing
two experienced speakers in their
respective lines. They were Miss
Charlotte Fraser of the Americaniza
ton department of the w. G. T. L.
and Miss Leah j. Abrahamson, di-
rector of the publicity work of the
United Americans. an organization
devoted to this line of work.
| DR.. Augustus o. Thomas. state
superintendent of schools opened
i the meeting. He compared Amer
! icanization and patriotism by saying
that patriotism was love of coun-
try and Americanization was a love
of America. He said that America
was courage. conscience, scrifice and
opportunity, ard that no other coun-
| thy offered the opportunities that she
does. His definition of America was
something to appreciate, something to
admire, and something to love" He
then Introduced Miss Fraser.
| She spoke of the process which is
required of one who enters this coun-
try through Ellis island. She told of
Ellis island as it was and as it is
now and also of the immigrant trains
which take them to other parts of the
country.
! Miss AbrahamsOn spoke. of the
ways that were being used at the
present time to get the people inter-
ested and to. get the foreign born
population to join the classes. The
keynote of this is publicity. If the
people get acquainted with this work
they will do the rest.
| Mr.. Thomas then spoke of the Fed
eral aid which enables communities
and individuals to perform this work
The L. S. government will furnish all
necessary books and will pay two
thirds of the cost of this work.
! Mr.. Stewart. Superintendent of Au-
gusta schools. gave some interesting
