Honorable Pilurims

"Rokkon Shoe, o Yama kaisei!"
May our six senses be pure, and the
weather on the honorable mountain

thousands of pilgrims climbing slow

summit of Full repeat the mystical
invocation, though probably they
themselves could not tell you it's
meaning. for the origin Of the
phrase is Chinese, and only the learn

these pilgrims of Japan, for the most
part they are simple country folk.
They know only the saying of their
country, that he who does not climb
Full once in his lifetime, that man is
fool. Is not Full the peerless

cessions steadily upward to the far

The typical Fuji pilgrim always
wears white. He carries bell at his
waist, presumably to announce to the
august Goddess of the Mountain that
he is paying a visit to her shrine.
He carries a water bottle, or a
thermos bottle if he is rich enough

ped to his back, a straw mat, which
he unrolls and wears over his
shoulders as protection against rain
and cold when necessity arises. He
ties a towel round his head and gen.
orally wears a -brimmed peaked
straw hat as well. His staff adds
the finishing pilgrim touch. Many
associations connected with schools
and temples conduct pilgrimages UP

Debs Gets Big
Grafton First
Speech at Chicago

Chicago. Nov. 26.-(By A. P)-Eu-
gene Debs. leader of the Socialist par
ty, made his first public speech since
leaving Atlanta penitentiary here to-
day and was given an ovation that
delayed the start of his address for
more than al hour.
Hundreds stood outside the hall for
hours after fire guards had limited the
audience 10 1000 people.
Jean LCcguet, French Socialist, in
whose honor the meeting was held,
was overshadowed by the 'demonstra-
ton accorded Debs. Huge baskets of
red roses tied with red ribbons were
given Debs 10y his admirers.
Il am Just recovering from the eff
fects of speech I made almost four
years ago." Debs told the audience. 1T
was recUrl-making speech. l began
it at Canton, Ohio. and finished it at
Atlanta pon:yentiary.
But there is nothing to regret. l

good came, quite unexpected to the
ruling classes of the world. That was

Jean Lo,Iguet devoted most of his ad-
dress to an attack on Georges Glenn

the war until that time.

COLBY COLLEGE

This year the Thanksgiving vaca-
ton will be for the one day only,
that is Thursday. This decision was
made a week ago by the faculty
after the student council had unani-
mously voted for the usual holiday
of three days. from Wednesday noon
until the following Monday morn
ing. This is the first time that such
a step has ever been taken by the
faculty and petition from the stu
dents failed to gain the necessary
names to vouch for the usual vaca-
ton. The members of the faculty
have very little to say, but they
seem to think that it is not best to
have two vacations SO near together
as it will break up the work to such
an extent that little or no work
would be done during the short
space of time between the two va
cations Consequently they have add
ed the extra days on to the
Christmas vacation so the students
will be let out at noon of Wednes-
day. December Is, instead of the
night Of the following Friday.

Halloweli has recently added two in
Glstries to those In her midst. They
have begun quietly and on a small
scale, but both seem to be meeting with
success ana will doubtless enlarge in
proportion to that success. Both are
for the manufacture of slippers, but
there the resemblance ceases.
The older of the two infant indus

Ter, who wa; for six years foreman Of
the Marstor G. Brooks stitching room
and who has held a similar position in
Lynn. Mr.. Cutler is manufacturing at
his home, Lincoln and Middle streets.
felt slippers. He has now an average
output Of 100 pairs per day. These
slippers have appealed to buyers and
have already been stocked by dealers
in the other New England states and
even further afield. They are made in
variety Of colors, with chrome leath
er soles and ribbon trimmings, and are
exceptionally attractive. 1t seems like
~ that the industry will grow beyond
its present small space and that in the
rear future. 1t is also an interesting
example of what mans enterprise can
do even in these days of troubled in
dustrial conditions.
The second plant is very new, but An
teresting and full of possibilities. Will
liam A. Weeks of Augusta has recent
ly begun in part of the Cronin &
Johnson plant the manufacture of
leather moccasins. 1t is understood
that the product of the industry is to

Mark S. Reinstern of Boston, vice
president of the Citizens League of
Massachusetts,, was in town Friday
and Saturday in connection with a
stolen car which Mr.. Reinstern saws
that he has located. Mr.. Reinstern
seems to feel very dissatisfied with
the State of Maine laws regarding
stolen automobiles and does not seem
to be afraid of expressing his ideas
on the subject. Mr.. Reinstern claims
that such law as Massachusetts,
mas, whereby a used car cannot be
sold without four days notice given
to the Highway Commission would
be great help to the Maine officers
in recovering stolen cars, inasmuch
as it gives them four days time to
trace up the last owners and exam
inc the cars for Identification marks.
MIR. Reinstern claims that when a
car is stolen in Massachusetts that
the thief takes the car out of the
state into another state where there
are no laws regarding the sale of
second hand cars and that disposal of
them is very simple matter.

Tx or propo5ed Gasoline Tax

coed be pat on in such a way as to
h'hr u fair pr osition to all. One.
OF lae strongest arguments against

motor boat or q stationary engine to
nave TO pay an extra one or two
ccn'S 10 he used on maintenance OF

seems 20 We a good one and in most
S. would work out all right. That

S'''s or distributors. This would
eliminate the task of collecting from

shc same results. and his method OF
protecting the motor boat man
would lie TO issue exemption CARDS
which when properly filed out and
signed before justice OF peace
word allow the p irchaser a rebate

spectacular blaze which destroyed
the four-story modern sales stable,

street with a damage estimated be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
Automobiles and carriages. the

several tons. fell three floors and
landed in the midst of hose squad.
One man received cuts from flying
glass, but otherwise none of the
! fighters was injured.
The fire gained such Roadway that
as soon as the first company re-
sponded Chief Saunders sounded two
more alarms calling all but the re-
serve forces. and these were called
out during the height of the blaze
by another fire in the Little Canada
section of the city.
Between 40 and so sales horses
were in the main section of the
stable but all were cut loose and
taken from the flaming building by
volunteers BY the time that addi-
tional help arrived the blaze had
completely Quilted the main part of
the building. the floors had fallen
through and the building was a
roaring furnace with sparks ascend
ing to a great height.
There was no chance to get the
horses confined in the hospital sec
ton nor to the automobiles which
were in the paint shop. The pigs,
valued at $1,000. were all in the Gel
lar and although five or six managed
to escape, the remainder were either
burned to death, suffocated or
drowned.
