During the war Mr., Freeman was
very active in war work. He was one
of the nine war workers who was
voted German helmet by the city as

Michigan and Virginia. AS a result
of these meetings Colby alumni as
sociations will be formed and the
Colby graduates brought into closer
union. In these letters will be en-
closed lists of the Colby graduates
who live in these states.
The trip fcs become a realty
largely through the efforts OF the
Waterville Rotary Club which has
come forward with substantial fin
ancial aid. Also along the route the
team will probably be entertained by
some of the Rotary clubs and the
debate with Simpson college. In
diana. Iowa will be judgeless held
before the Rotary club of that city.
DIR. Herbert c. Libby states that
he will accompany the team is pos
sible. 1t is through the efforts of
Professor Libby that this trip has
come into being and he has worked
increasingly to produce a team that
Colby will be proud of.
The question for debate will be
resolved: That. the closed shop is
justifable. This question was de-
bated recently in the dual debate
w III the University Of Maine in
which all of the men who are go
ing on the cross country team took
part. The subject has also been de-
bated by Colby men several times
in past years.

Use Narcotics Grows.

The increase in the use of mar
cotics has been notable in recent
times. and the war has produced an
orgy of tobacco. says Flinders Petrie
in the Yale Review. Used with good
cause to deaden the tedium and hor-
rOr of the trenches. it has been
brought into hourly consumption at
home. Workmen have the cigarette
in the mouth from the beginning to
the end of the day Committees and
boards meet in haze of smoke
What may be the effect of this
change on national character? Con-
slider the contrast between Renais-
sance Spain and Italy and their
later state. May not narcotics have
had share in that change? The
mood of seIf-satisfaction which to-
bacco and alcohol induce is not the
best for the active production of re-
suits. How much may the present
work shy tendency be due to such
causes? The appreciation Of narcot-
les and stimulants by those who use
them is no proof of their real value; {;
to the Greek the new possession of
wine was the supreme benefit. but
it wrecked the grandest schemes. as
those of Alexander.

young people of Waterville; found in
St. Luke 1o-11.
If a person comes to himself early
in life, realizing his special talents,
then he is able to plan for the future
and make the best of his life. Many
people do not come TO themselves un-
I'll later in life. John Bunyan did no;
come to himself until he was placed
in the Bedford Jail and there discov-
cred his literary talents. \ man is
all right as long as he has plenty of
money he thinks he has great many
friends but as soon as his money is
gone ne finds that his friends have
gone also. 1t is sin that will bring
out eternal condemnation. God does
not withhold anything from those
who walk uprightly. Gods grace is
unexhaustable. We shall never be
abel to reign with Christ unless we
give ourself to him and start our
journey homeward. Christ stands
with open arms today waiting for all
who will come"

Caruso's Widow
Denies Throat Singer
Removed for Study

New York. March 3.-AIrs. En-
rico Caruso, widow Of the famous
opera tenor, tonight spiritedly denied
cable dispatches from Rome to the
eGect that her husbands throat had
been removed soon after oath and
left to the Naples Museum for
scientific examination.
Imposition" was her greeting of
the announcement that Rome papers
had reproduced pictorially the
tenor's throat.
Bruno Zirato, who was Caruso's
secretary, branded the report n
"preposterous."
Impossible" Mrs. Caruso declar-
ed. after she had been shown the
dispatch. There is not word Of
truth in the statement. The throat
OF Mr.. Caruso was not left to the
Naples Museum nor to any other
museum or person.
"At no time after Mr.. Caruso's
death was his body unmatched by
some member Of the family, until 10
was sealed away in the Canessa,
chapel at Naples. There is but one
key to the chapel and havs II. 1t
1t has never been out of my Bosses
sion.
II cannot understand the report
ed publication of pictures Of his
throat" she continued. 1T must be
some hoax. And as to the descrip-
ton of the vocal cords, the epiglot-
tbs and other portions Of the throat,
by doctors quoted in Rome papers.
that is impossible. How could it be
otherwise Please say for me there
is absolutely no truth in this dis
patc,t.''
Mr.. Zirato. after expressing his
incrcdulity. told Of the attempt OF a
London physician and surgeon.
whose name he could not recall, but
which he said he believed to be
Ilovd, to obtain possession Of Car
uso's throat two days after the
singers death.
This DOCTOR" said Mr. Zlrato.
said that Mr.. Caruso had told him
that he would make provisions in
his will for the disposal Of his
throat and lungs to medical science,
after his death.
Now. everybody knows that Mr..
Caruso's will contained no such pro-
vision. Mrs. Caruso refused fatty, of
course, to permit the removal OF the
organ. Mr.. Caruso's body was not
touched except for burial prepara-
tion from the time Of death until
it was placed in the Canessa chapel"

Chapman Concert
Monday. March Ii

The date of the Chapman concert
is close at hand. Tickets. have been
selling rapidly, and all indications
point for packed house. to greet
these splendid artists from New
York. Don't wait until the day of
the concert expecting to get first
class seat. Secure it now, as it will
cost no more and you will be sure Of
it. Mr.. Chapman never brought a
poor artist to Waterville and he gives
assurance that these artists will
create a real sensation. Miss Julia
Floyd, coloratura soprano has an ex-
ceptionally fine stage presence and
her voice has often been compared
to Alma Gluck. Her trills and runs
are like a shower of pearls. Everett
Bishops manly voice will astonish
his hearers with its wide range and
from Rigoletto, by Verdi. and 1.-The
Rosary" by Nevin, sung by Miss
Floyd and Mr.. Bishop, is we'll worth
the price of the concert. Never In
the history of the Chapman concert
has such a genius been presented to
a New England audience as Mr..
Engel. His own compositions will
attract much attention. as he plays
in three part harmony, which sounds
like a string orchestra. His techni-
que is marvellous, producing a Won
derful powerful tone. Mr.. Chap
mans work at the piano always in
sures the best efforts from the ar
fists that he is accompanying. A
Chapman concert only comes once a
year. Don't fail to hear this one.
which will prove to be the best of all.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the

SAMUEL FREEMAN, Jeweler
Ever Ready to Help or
Serve in Community Affairs
Finds Time to Conduct Up
tO-Date Jewelry Business
Active Worker During World
War

1t can safely be said that Samuel
freeman is one of the most popular
people in town. And it is generally
conceded that his popularity is due
to helpfulness and generous service
in community affairs. He is a hus-
tier in putting things over. He has
the knack of getting people to work
Tor him but best of all he works
hardest himself. And his efforts are
never selfish. He works for the
Chamber of Commerce, he works for
the Rotary club, he works for the Re-
tail Merchants Bureau and above all
he works for the Anne rican Legion.
Both last year and this year he gave
his time and effort to the direction
OF the minstrel show given by the
Legion and it took all his spare time
Tor good six weeks each year. 1t
is not difficult to see where he stands
with the Legion boys for on We'd
nesday evening the members of
George y. Bourque Post. No. 5 Am
erlcan Legion of this city will give
him complimentary tanquet at Har-
mons cafe in appreciation of his
work.
Mr.. Freeman has not been in Wat
crville many years but he has been

ry business with his brother, Max in
Boston and for four years was with

He came TO Oakland IS years ago
and started Il jewclry business there
Because of his progressive business
methods. he drew trade from Water

Business Man Rebels
Restaurant Prices

II read with some interest" said a
business man. the other day, "the
report OF the committee which was
appointed to study living costs,
which appeared in the papers the
other day, and l was impressed with
the fact that whoever comprised that
committee had not studied the cost
of living in restaurant. or another
way of putting it might be to say
the restaurants have not yet awak-
ened to til" fact that food stuffs have
gone down.
Take potatoes for instance. In 1920
they were quoted at $3.50 a peck. An
order of potatoes in the restaurants
used to lie five cents but it went to
10 cents during the war. Now pota-
toes are quoted at 80 cents q peck.
