the Chamber OF Commerce and among
its co~tents is a story on ''Waterville

The article was written by DR.. f. c.
Whit emore and presents in clear
cut manner the advantages OF Water
Vile rs an educati 1al and industrial
center II also makes plain the fact
that Waterville Is conveniently reach
81 from the nearby summer resorts
and Is the logical shopping center
for the many out OF state visitors,
who make their summer headquarters
around the Belgrade chain OF lakes
and other resorts within a radius OF
% miles of the city.
The many fraternal organizations,
which have = drawin,- capacity all

To the welfare and success OF the
city are given a nroper place in the
scheme OF affairs by the writer.
The Log Book magazine is wholly
devoted 20 the interests Of Maine and
should he welcome addition to the
publications OF the State. It's subscrip-
ton list reaches TO the borders of the
Union and its advertising value for
the good old Pine Tree State is of
unreasonable value il exploiting its

Board Investigators
Report May Change
Insurance Status

Waterville is RANKED by the in
surance mel in class &c" at present
but it is the earnest desire Of the tax
pay ers and property owners to get
into class "B." Just what will be
necessary to do, in order to secure
this classification is soon to be known
from the report of special Board of
Investigate :, which were sent to
Waterville by the New England In
surance Exchange. 1t is felt in some
quarters that in past years Water
ville's building code has not been
strictly lived up to with the result
that more or less marking Of mega
tiv. character has been made by the
insurance rate makers. On the other
hand, there is also suggestion that
an addition to tn Fire Department
equipment might make change in
Waterville's classification. Waterville
has motor combination chemical but a
horse drawn hook and ladder truck,
and also a horse drawn cart running
from the Central Station as well as
the horse hose cart on the Plains, and
On Ticonic street. While just the
opinion of the insuran, men is not
officially known and will not be until
the report is received, it is felt in
some quarters as If a motor hook and
ladder truck might be the factor
which would put the city in the ''B'
class. City officials would have
nothing to say in regard to this de-
We 'opmen. pending the report of the
insurance mems investigation.

$4,000 Bond Issue
for Country Club
improvements

An enthusiastic meeting OF the
Waterville Country Club was held
at the clubhouse Monday evening at
which SO members were present. The
most important business transacted
vas the passing of a legalized vote
to issue a $4,000 bond to be under
written by the Peoples Bank. The
money thus raised to be used for i'm
provements and also to take care OF
some scattered Indebtedness, so that
all debts shall be covered by a
bond. The plan is now to make i'm
provements in the house, on the
grounds and also on the greens.
Following the club meeting an ad-
jCurned meeting of the governors
was held to hear the reports of the
year. 1t was voted to raise double
flag staff SO that it may be lowered
to be painted easily and this will en-
able the club to have better flag
pole than ever before. The former
flag staff was blown down in the big
wind of last year.
It was also voted to repair the
driveway and to erect pillars at the
entrance, which will be a great i'm
provement. 1t was further voted tc
allow Eastman Weber to put in for
few days a radio plant to show the
club members what can be done in
that line.
An, entertainment committee was
appointed By, the president. DR.. J.

Mrs. Alton D. Blake. Mr.. and Mrs

w. III. S. Anti
Slang CAMPAIGN

Prof. Clarence H. White of Colby
college contributes the following ar
ticle to the High school Anti-Slang
campaign:
Among the encouraging reactions
against after-war conditions is the
campaign for better English express
sion that is now being waged in our
schools and colleges. In the general
relaxation that naturally came after
the strain and stress of the war. jazz
ran riot everywhere-in music. in
the dance, in art, in literature, in
dress. and. of course. in our speech.
But now there are unmistakable
signs that the American public is
dare we say it?-pretty well fed up
on jazz. Doubtless the purists
would demand that we substitute
satiated with for fed up on" But
that seems somehow too weak to ex-
press our meaning: we want bit of
linguistic punch Just here and. as
neither the eighteenth amendment
nor the Queensberry rules forbid
this kind. we are going to have it.
And so we repeat, the American pub
lie is fed up on jazz, is as tired of it
now as it was some time ago of the
healthy reaction toward normally.
Are YOU expecting us to say. we
must cut out-ah. please pardon
the slip-we must eliminate slang
No, slang need not be altogether ia
boo; it has it's rightful place and
lawful use, as we have tried to show
by a practical example. 1t serves as
speech, to give it pungency. But,
like all spices, it should be used
sparingly: when thrown in hap-haZ-
ard and lavishly. it spoils that to
which it might. if used with modea-
ton and discrimination give just the
proper tang.
If overworked or INDUCED in with
easily and quickly into jazzed lingo,
a patois that would shame a savage
IF you know what 1 mean" If
you don't know what I mean, turn
to the description of a base ball game
as it is presented by the ambitious
young reporter who aspires to be-
come editor of the sports page; or to
the full-page 'ad' of prince Albert"
tobacco in the Saturday Evening
Post. Would any self-respecting
high school student submit to being
forced to cultivate such style, sup
pose his instructor in English COM
position should engage to teach it?
Would he not conclude that some
other foreign language-Spanish,
say. or Russian--is more worth his
while? Nay, would he not even pre-
fer one of the dead languages, IT
language, in order to prove itself
alive. must needs wriggle and twist
itself into such outlandish shapes?-
Especially as he probably has sense
enough to see that, half dozen
years hence, these grotesque traves-
ties on English will be the deadest
of dead languages.

Boy Struck by Electric
Loses Both Feet; Is in
Serious Condition

Romeo. the four-year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Dennis Picard OF Shoddy
Hollow. North Vassalboro. ran In front
Of the car from Augusta near his home
at about 2.10 Monday afternoon and
was knocked down. the wheels passing
over both legs. The boy was rushed
to Waterville and placed in he Red
ington ambulance. in which he was
conveyed to the Sisters hospital here.
Doctor John Towne found 1t neces-
sary to amputate nearly all of the
right foot except a portion of the heel.
and the left leg between the knee and
the ankle. Among the passengers on
the car were A. S. Lombard of this
city and Bert Chamberlain of North
Vassalboro, formerly member of the
Waterville police force. Passengers
stated that the little boy was playing
in or near a shed not far from his
home which is loca ted at the end OF the
bridge at Shoddy Hollow. He saw the
car and apparently tried to cross the
road ahead Of 1t but was caught just
as he was nearly across the track.
One step more would have taken him
TO safety. Inc car was III SlidI Sc u
Conductor Spear and Motorlnan Maxim.
The motorman did all in his power to
stop the car, according to witnesses.
but the Roadway was such at that
point that the car could not be brought
to a stop quickly enough to prevent
the accident. The little boy was rolled
over and ov-r, and examination at the
hospital showed that he was mass of
bruises. DR.. Towne was not certain
last night whether or not the lad would
survive. Children all along the trolley
lines in this vicinity have, since the
establishment of these lines. had the
habit of running in front of the cars.
and 1t would seem that this near fatal
ity with it's terrible results should in
spire parents to do all in their power
to prevent such accidents. though 1t

There is just one time In the

who was taking picture of the

Monday. In winter a photograph
through the bare branches of the
trees does not look well, and in
summer the foliage is SO dense that
the entire building cannot be seen.
Just at this time, from the first to
the middle Of May. there is enough
foliage to take away the bare effect
in the photograph, but not so much
but that the outlines of the building
can be distinguished" DR.. J. Will

same method in taking pictures on

See Purple Grackles

Local bird students are noting
that the purple grackle is here this
year in greater numbers than usual.
This bird, by some called a black
bird, though he is really cousin to
that species and not direct repre-
sentative of the tribe, is rather
graceful in appearance, but when he
tries to sing. emits a very discordant
cry. The grackle is said to be de-
structive to grain. They are COM
mon enough in Northern Maine, but
have not been noticed here in num-
bers until two years ago.
