Hunting Season Draws To
Close Approach Cold Weather

While the weather of the past few
days could hardly be called perfect.
no one in Waterville was dissatisfied
for the mercury has kept quite a lit
tie way above freezing and the sun
has been out part of the time. Late
Thursday night the second fall of
snow was recorded by those who
happened to be on the street about
midnight but there were really very
few citizens who knew it showed at
all. The little furry could hardly be
called a snow storm and the few
flakes melted as soon as they struck.
While the hunting season still lasts
two weeks longer, many hunters are
coming back now that the days and
nights are getting chilly. Yesterday
several automobiles passed through
the city laden with deer and one
coupe attracted special attention as
there were three men inside and six
handsome deer strapped to the mud
guard. Not all of the deer that
come from the big woods are brought
by auto. Many are still coming
down the Somerset line of the Maine
Central railroad to Oakland. John
Flint, the regular game commission
his home in Monson until the last Of
the week although he at first pfanned
to be back last Wednesday. During
his absence, Warden Jesse Alexander
is acting as game commissioner.
Rufus Grindle, Colby ex-'23. is
teaching school in Dead River this
fall and he writes to friends in Wat
erville that he has never seen such
wonderful hunting territory. Mr..
Grindle writes that friend of his
living next door went out in his back
yard the other day and shot bear
and her cub, and that he himself has
garnered fox, a mink and his quota
of deer without any trouble.

Today Last Day Children's
Book Week At Wat. Library

This is the last day of Chilrren's
Book week at the Waterville Pub
lie library. Throughout the week the
local library has been putting over
a drive to arouse more interest in
the reading of books by children. A
great deal of emphasis has been
placed on reading the right sort of
books. A model home library for
children has been placed on exhibit
ton in the reading room. If anyone
wishes to procure any of these books
he may do so by leaving his order at
the desk with the librarian.
This afternoon visitors at the lib
rary will have the privilege of see
ing many of the familiar children's
book characters appear in person.
Children will be on hand dressed in
costumes to represent well known
characters from books with which
the children of generations have
been familiar. All those interested
are invited to attend and gee the
parts taken by these story book peo-
pie enacted in real life. Much credit
for the success of the work is due
to the untiring efforts of librarian
Miss Jennie NJ. Smith and assistant
librarian Miss Mary Tobey.

SUPERIOR COURT

Court came in at $3.50 this morn
ing. The first case for the. Jury was
NO. 91S, Usher p. Garland against
Alfred NJ. keene, both of Winslow.
+. A. Smith represented the plaintiff
and Perkins & Weeks the defendant
This case occupied the attention of
court and jury the greater part of
the day. The action was brought on
a breach of warranty in horse
trade. Plaintiff testified that he
wanted a saddle horse for his wife
and children, and also to let at q
boys camp that was on his land. He
said he talked with the Defendant,
who was at the time cutting his hay,
and told him for what purpose, and.
the kind of a horse he wanted, and
that he was told by defendant that
neighbor had horse that he
thought would be what he wanted.
Later defendant traded with the
neighbor, a Mr.. Spaulding. for the
horse in this case, and then traded
with plaintiff, and was to receive $25
boot money. The plaintiff stated
that he tried out the horse for a
short time. and then. relying upon
the defendants statement that the
horse was kind and clever. and safe
for woman or children to ride, he
traded. He stated that he lritched
the horse in the barn floor, and two
days later he sent his 10 year old boy
to the barn to saddle the horse. The
boy reported that he could not get
the saddle on her. and that she was
ugly. The plaintiff then took hand
and found that she would bite and
kick. Later he attempted to return
the animal to defendant, but he re-
fused to take her back. PLAINTIFFS
wife and son corroborated his state
mentJ.
The defense was that no warranty,
no statements. were made in regard
to the DISPOSITION of the Nare, and
that plaintiff had as much oppor-
tunity to learn the character of the
horse as did the defendant.
A witness for defendant, Mr..
Drake of Albion. who now owns the
mare, and bought her for a small
price. stated that his wife took care
of and rode the mare very often, and
that they had no trouble with her.
Verdict for plaintiff. $120.42.
At about S o'clock the next case
was started, No. 1890, Silvio Pagan
nucci VS. y. D. Page. both of Water
Vile. Harold Dubord for plaintiff,
and oJseph Clark and Andrews, Mel
son & Gardiner for defendant
This action was brought to recover
twelve months rent claimed due the
plaintiff from defendant. The plain
tiff took the stand and stated that
defendant leased the premises on a
two year lease at $11 per month to
be paid in advance. He testified
that he had received but one months
rent, and that defendant gave up the
premises last March after occupying
tie premises Is months. It appeared
that there was an agreement where
by the plaintiff wa to do outside re-
pairs and the defendant the inside
repairs: The plaintiff will resume the
stand tomorrow morning.

''The Butler" Auspices
Ladies' Aid of NJ. E..
Church Most Pleasing

''The Butler, a two act comedy,
staged by local talent under the
auspices of the Ladies Aid Of the
Methodist church last evening in the
church vestry was one of the most
pleasing entertainments of the sea-
son. The play was presented under
the direction of Miss Exerine Flood.
The performance abounded in ludic-
rous situations and every one of the
cast ives perfectly fitted for the
part and the audience Of 200 or more
were in roars of laughter most of
the time. Before the first act a very
pleasing piano duet was played by
Miss Eva Knowles and Miss Alcada
Hall and between the first and sec
ond act Mrs. John Manter sang two
vocal solos that delighted those pres
ent.
The story of the play is somewhat
as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram
Baxter and their children live on a
farm in Appleby, N. H, and their
daughter Jennie Baxter is away to
school. She sends a young English
nobleman to the Baxter farm to re-
cover from a nervous illness and
also sends, an English butler about
60 years old along to take care Of
the nobleman. Unfortunately the

First Writer OF Music

Nine hundred years ago, in 1923,
the perpetuation of music was made
possible by CuiGoS a monk of Arezzo.
This year many celebrations are be-
ing held in central Germany and
France in honor of the man who
conceived the method of writing
melodies on paper.
Before Guido brought into use the
method of indicating music notes on
fines. there was no way for melodies
to be put, into circulation other
than that of transmission from per-
son to person by humming or whist
ling. The name of a creator of, a
melody was soon forgotten, and
when new tunes were heard old
ones were discarded and heard no
more.
The method at first employed by
Guido in transcribing music was
different from that used today. In
stead of having five horizontal lines
with notes in the spaces between
them as well as on them. he used
four lines with notes only in the
spaces. Previous to, him another
monk had devised a method with the
use of the lines whereby one note
was indicated upon which the melody
was begun, and to complete it there
was Il series OF directions Tor the
melody to go up or down as the case
might be, with. no means for making
accurate each note.
At that time the making of a
manuscript Of music was an art, for
not only were notes placed for prac-
teal purposes, but they served Il
decorative purpose as well. There
was a wide variety in the colors and
the shapes of the notes for the
various spaces. and other indications
that were necessary were made to
please the eye as well as inform the
brain.
In the first space the note was
written in red ink. 1t was not essen
tial that q round note be made. such
as those employed in the standard
music of today, but the person who
made the manuscript tried to put
originality in his work. so in filling
the space allotted to note he might
draw a miniature picture. Other
spaces had their own particular
colors, but the first space. .f," was
distinguished in all of the manu-
scripts by it's flaring red color.
