That is the way Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
Davidson OF 62s McLish avenue cult

The chrysanthemums are in profus'

Roses are in profusion, too. there be
ing about two dozen varieties. anc

deflation not only in our country but
all over the world
London Daily Mail says: Although
farm sales this Michaelmas are seeing
IA slight downward tendency in prices
of implements, utensils, wagons. har-
ness and the like, the fall is far outpac-
ed by the slump in the market values Of
the agricultural crisis.
Maybe an international leage of farm

Washington. May 25--A commit
tee of railroad presidents, appointed

EXCEED ESTIMATES
AUBURN WATER SYSTEM

Auburn. May 25-With the cost of
the construction of water main
from Lake Auburn to the reservoir
on Auburn Heights, construction and
equipping of a pumping station on
the shores of the lake costing ap-
proximately $4,000 more than
planned at first, the question comes
of how this excess money needed
will be raised. Theer is. however.
no doubt that the work of construc-
ton will go on as planned and that
any excess over the 100000 obtained
from the bond issue a year ago. will
be secured by short term notes or by
a temporary loan.
The water main costs, as esti-
mated, will be $102, 900. though it is
hoped that it will be under that fig
ure. and the cost of the pumping
station and equipment is between
$3S.OOO. and $4,000. The plans are
now being made and A. w. Warren.
president of the water board, states
they are nearly ready and will be
presented at the next meeting. which
will be within a few days. There is
no doubt in his mind that the pro-
ject would be pushed to rapid con-
cluSion.

Portland Chamber
and Publicity Bureau
Fail to Reach Pact

Portland, May 25.-Plans for
the joint information bureau
Tor tourists this summer by the
publicity bureau of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and the new
ly organized Maine Publicity Bureau
have been discussed by representa-
tives of these two bodies, but thus
for no agreement has been reached.
Conferences have been held several
times of late and the proposition has
been pretty thoroughly threshed out,
but nothing definitely has come of the
meetings, and it seems to be a ques-
ton as to whether they will be able
to adjust their differences.
The hope has been expressed that
the State and local organization
might come together in assuming
charge of the bureau. but IL they fail
to do so, the publicity bureau of the
Portland chamber will assume the
duties of giving out information to
tourists as it has for several years
past.
The information bureau usually
opens just after the closing Of the
schools and it has proven Invaluable
to the summer visitors. The Maine
Publicity Bureau will, of course, be
open throughout the year, and will
furnish every information Of every
kind to people who come here firm
other sections Of the country,

Failure to Phone Leads
to Finding Body Caretaker

OquossOc, May 25.-Bert Fleming,
caretaker of the American Realty
Company's camp. 20 miles beyond
their office in this town, deep in the
heart of the woods, was found dead
in his camp Saturday by a party sent
by the company to discover the cause
of his failure to telephone two morn
ings in succession. The relief party
found it necessary to break in the
door Of Fleming's camp, where he
discovered Mr.. Fleming's body lying
across the Woodpile. it being thought
that he stopped to pick up a stick of
wood and fell over stricken with
heart disease.
Mr.. Fleming was alone in the camp
and evidently building his fire for
the morning. So far as can be as
certained, he had been dead about
Il hours. 1t was his custom to re-
port by telephone every morning to
the local Office Of the company. He
tclephoned as usual on Thursday
morning, but on Friday morning no
message was received, the COMPANY
attributing this to trouble on the
line. Saturday morning came and
no message came. The company then
felt some alarm and immediately sent
messenger to the camp.

Harvard Committee
Reports on Problem
Students Graduate Schools

Cambridge, Mass, May 25.-The
problem of assimlating at Harvard
University the graduates Of colleges
other than Harvard who become stu
dents at Harvard graduate schools was
the subject of a report by a special
committee which was made public to-
day.
The comm. :ttee. which included in its
! membership four college presidents
| who attended Harvard as graduate stu
dents. Presidents Angel Of Yale. Ayde-
| lotte OF Swarthmore. Nelson of Smith
and Sills of Bowdoin. found that it
appears unquestionably true that
some students in our graduate schools
, and the alumni of such schools who
have graduated from colleges other
than Harvard. feel unfriendly toward
Harvard, or at least to the Harvard
of their conception, which Is apt to
include only the undergraduate body
and the alumni Of the college. And
not only do there appear to be some
students who are unfriendly to Har-
ward College. but there is far larger
group who do not have the keen in
tr1Cot III anu dllSSlioI 1OI Tic uIiISti
sity which we would wish them to
have and which W. may reasonably ex-
pect them to have"
Turning to solutions Of this prob
lem. the committee expressed belief
that each of the graduate schools must
to an increased extent build up its own
traditions. Harvard University l. ust
be regarded as a federation Of different
units. as in fact It is. rather than as
a single body" the report said
The uestion of Harvard allegiance
among it's graduate students comes
up annual in accented form on the
occasion of ticket distribution for the
big football games, in which the TN
dergraduates are given preference.
sometimes to the exclusion of grad
uate schools men. The committe, sug-
gested that although football is a cal
lege sport. not graduate school sport,
the preference given to members cc the
college in the assignment of football
tickets might be given up. owing to
the feeling of many loyal graduate
school men that so long as discrim-
ination exists in this matter they will
instinctively regard themselves as out
siders." Every effort should be made
to give both students and alumni of
the graduate schools their full rights
as members of the university, the re-
port said. adding:
"Finaliy. we do not believe that
enough has been expected of the alum
nj Of our graduate schools in return
fo, what they get from the university,
Every Harvard college man is made
to feel his obligation to the college in
numerous ways. He is thick skinned
If it is not brought home to him de-
| cisively. But the graduate of school
is by comparison made to feel little
obligation"

Crane Knows Nothing
of 2O-Year Sentence
Given Him in Syria

Paris, May 20-(By A. P.)-
Charles R. Crane of Chicago in
formed The Associated Press tonight
that he has had no intimation of the
reported action of French military
court in Syria imposing sentence of
20 years for melting riot.
1.-The report You bring me is the
first news l have had on any such
step by the military authorities of
Syria" said Mr.. Crane. 'Since my
return to Paris three days ago /
have been very cordially received by
many members of the French Senate
and others high in the government.
and there is not the slightest indica-
ton that any action has been taken
or is contemplated against me.
However, it would not surprise
me if the military authorities of
Syria were much aroused over the
popularity of the United States
throughout Syria. and they might
show resentment by military action
againts me. l visited Syria for the
purpose of observing what had taken
place since | was sent there in 1919
by President Wilson to report on the
situation l confirmed this time the
conclusions which were contained in
my report to President Wilson.
1T is true that big demonstration
occurred around my automobile as L
was leaving Damascus. Thousands
of Syrians gathered around the car
and sang their national hymns and
cheorcd the United States. The next
day there were many arrests but it is
not true that the French military
authorities asked me to leave the
country or threatened to arrest me.
Il was in Syria solely as a private
citizen and l do not represent the
United States government or Ameri-
can missionary interests in Syria. |
am deeply interested in the outcome
of the Syrian question. American
missionary interests have invested
sixty million dollars in schools and
in other ways in Syria. and to this
extent America is concerned with the
problem"
Mr.. Crane declared that he had
done nothing while in Syria which
could be construed as melting to
riot or disturbance Of any kind.
He would continue to regard the re-
ported sentence as entirely untrue,
he said, unless officially notified.
He thought that even il true it
would not apply in France and he
was planning to sail for New York
on the Aquitania June 8.
1t was impossible to obtain con-
frmation or denial of the report this
evening. because both the foreign Of
flee and the ministry of war was
closed on account of the holiday.
