RAISES DAIRY FEED.

Max Dietrich brought to the
Chronicle office the first of the
week speciman of vegetation
that was beyond us for naming
until he informed us that it was
known as German cabbage. The
cabbage is excellent dairy feed
and while in its early growing
stage also makes an excellent
dish for human consumption.
Mr.. Dietrich obtained the seed
from the east and next year
plans on planting on acre Of the
cabbage. Cattle, he said, are
very fond of it.

|C0NY DEbATERS DEFEAT
PORTLAND ON WAR LOANS
ARGUMENT; Vote 2T01 I

that 1t would be economically for
the benefit of the United States and
of the world, If we should cancel this
debt.
Merritt Hewitt, concluding speaker
for the negative argued that instead
of moral obligation to cancel this
debt, we were under a moral obliga-
ton to enforce payment, as the AL
lies expected to pay when the loan
was made as was evidenced by the
form of the contract and that we
would be establishing precedent
in international Obligations. He quot
ed Lloyd George as saying that the
TACT that they must pay this debt
was keeping up tho morale of Eng
land He also showed that both Eng
land and France had been most ex-
acting in making tho United States
pay for troop transportation and even
for damage to roads in France built
by the American Army. He advo-
Gated a scheme Of long term notes
so that they might pay.
In rebuttal the Cony speakers said
that the moneM could be paid by a
transfer of foreign securities, without
the payment Of a cent in actual cash,
that it was foolish to argue that we
would be injured by being paid
what was rghtfully owed to us and
that while the countries are arguing
for equal distribution of the costs of
war, they still desired that only the
United States should cancel her
debts.
The affirmative argued in the re-
buttal that the debts of the Allies to
the United States, cannot be paid out
of the reparations paid by Germany
because these reparations are not be-
ing paid. that If we exact this money
| from France her people may rebel as
they did in the French revolution,
that these countries must keep up
| their armament because Germany
, called "enough" but was not licked
and is now preparing for another
, war, and that by advancing the solu-
| tion in the shape of a long time loan.
, the negative had admitted that these
countries could not now pay. The
! final argument was that the United
! States in entering the war when she
/ did, was entering corporation and
! that she was therefore liable for the
| debts of the corporation even If con-
| tracted before she entered the cor
pOration.
| During the intermission between
| the arguments and tho rebuttalS ana
after the debate was finished, the
! audience was entertained by radio
| broadcasting which was picked up by
Il set placed in the hall through the
! courtesy Of Robert Parker, who was
aided by the members of the Cony
| Radio Club.

vile Winter Carnival Motion Picture
was held Thursday evening at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms. with
cameramen Daniel Maher and H. l.,
Branson of the Eastern Motion Pic
t,lre Company, in charge of the
showing.
The pictures depict many of the
feature events of the Waterville car
nival and although they were taken
under most trying conditions they
were very clear and graphic. There
was an astonishingly large amount
of action in these films and they
were really thrilling. When Paulsen
turned his famous somersault on
skis, those present would well he
lieve the truth of the report that
one lady at Waterville tainted, while
watching the feat.
One sport shown in this film. which
has never been seen in this city, is
ski -kjoring. This sport looks as if
it might he all the thrills that one
could want bottled up into a very
few minutes.
Augusta will probably film the
feature events of the Winter Carni-
val which is coming off in this city
next week and if the pictures are as
realistic and clear as those seen last
night, the city could ask for no bet

Little Change Favored
Norman l.. Bassctt declared that he
had srudiod the question pretty thor
oughfL4 and he favored this haeeGng

could iron out their own difficulties
and then go before the Legislature
with a bill they had agreed on. He
thought the present way of electing
members to the board had worked we'll.
The change in the fiscal year was sim
ply one Of auditing and he thought
that question could he left to com
mittee and their decision could be in
cluded in later draft of the bill.
Mr.. Bassett declared that the pco-
pie had not had enough information
