U. of M. Head Speaks
Before ROtarians

At meeting Of the Waterville
Rotary club at the Elmwood yester-
day noon. DIR. c. c. Little, president
of the University of Maine, addressed
the members on the subject of edu-
cation in the modern day. DR.. Little
does not believe in the sterioptic
method. He declared that the stu
dent body in the average college is
altogether too large and should be re-
duced. To do this, he said. would
necessitate a rigid examination of
each student upon entering to find
out if he was there for business or
other reasons. The speaker also
thought that if more individuality
was put into work by the students,
better results would be obtained.
DR.. Little also spoke on the con-
ditions existing between the sexes at
this modern day. He declared that
many of the modern dances are i'm
modest and should be prohibited.
He referred to letter that he is
sending to all parents of students of
his own college which brings GER
tain restrictions to the dancer. The
doctor said that dancing which is
refined and proper is not only a fine
pastime but in his mind is healthful
and a beneficial exercise.

Over $4,000 in
Cattle Prizes
At Waterville

The list Of prizes which is to be
awarded. at the coming dairy cattle
show of the Central Maine Fair.
Waterville, August 27-31, and the
rules which are to govern it, have
been announced by Secretary r. M.
Gilmore.
Premiums totaling s62520O are to
be given winning exhibitors this year.
The breeds for which prizes are of :
fered are Holsteins. Ayrshires,
Guernseys. Jerseys, Milking Short
Horns, Brown Swiss and Dutch Belt
ed. A liberal classification for each
breed has been adopted. All entries
for the show must be made not later
than August Goth.
There are many reasons why the
dairy industry is being encouraged
this year by liberal offer of prizes,
says Superintendent DR.. P. r. Baird
of the dairy cattle department. 1t
provides the farm with a steady in
come from daily sales of milk and
cream, gives employment to labor
throughout the year, furnishes a
ready market for much of the rough
age about the farm which goes to
waste, and helps to build up the fer
tility Of the soil.
Statistics prove that the average
scrub COW produces only $50 to 175
pounds Of butterfat in a year. which
does not pay for her feed. However.
a herd of such COWS can be made to
return profit in several years if
headed by a good pure bred bull.
The daughters and nd-daughters
of such herd will double butterfat
returns.
The big campaign to improve
dairy cattle herds by use of pure
bred bulls, launched by the fair as
part of its 1923 educational program,
is being put on to increase the but
tcrfat production of local herds and
make farming more profitable. It's
slogan is: Put Pure-bred Bull on
Every Farm"

State Road to Be
improved Soon

The State Highway trucks were
hauling crushed rock yesterday from
the crusher in Fairfield to the Wa
terville- state road. Repair
work will be under way very soon.
1t is understood that the process of
repairing will be somewhat different
than it has been on some of the
roads in this vicinity Instead of a
simple surface of gravel on the
damaged places in the road. an
amount of crushed rock will be
dumped by more rock of a finer
grade, and this will be pressed down
with a steam roller and covered by
gravel and tar. This method has
proved excellent where it has been
done, and people are glad to know
that the local road is to be thus i'm
proved,
