Bitter Cold Wave
Drives People to
Home and Fireside

Driven by bitter Northwest gale
the coolest wave of the winter ar
rived here yesterday afternoon and
for hours the thermometer dropped
steadily until well below zero. A
temperature drop of more than 40
degrees was recorded from o'clock
Sunday afternoon until 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon when the tempera-
ture was around zero. BY 6 O'Clock
Monday afternoon when the temper
allure was around zero. By 6 o'clock
last night the mercury had dropped
several degrees below zero and local
weather prophets were predicting
any where from 20 to 40 below be-
fore the night was out.
Mrs. Gertrude >Hemminger of the
local Postal telegraph Office received
from the operator in Troutdale about
40 miles Northwest of here yester-
day afternoon about 1880 that it was
showing hard there with every sign
of the worst storm of the winter.
Forty minutes after this call came
through it started to snow here but
after squall lasting half an hour
the sun came out for a few minutes
to go in q little later while another
squat struck the city.
Up to s o'clock last night traffic
conditions were as usual. trains and
electric cars running on schedule.
The fact that what little snow was
on the ground was crusted saved
much discomfort but in some places
clouds of dust whirled through the
air.
The first ice team of the winter
passed through the streets today
hauling a load of cakes about eight
inches thick. This was a surprise to
r.any people as the general belief
has been in the city that the ice was
very thin on streams and ponds in
this locality.
Snowmobiling in It's vicinity whcih
Is the latest sport since Henry Ford
built his new winter attachments for

owners of Waterville for they offer

Prof. Mariner Talks
To Kiwanians at
Regular Meeting Mon.

Prof. Ernest c. Mariner, librarian
at Colby college spoke to the MEM
bers of the Kiwanis Club last eve
ming at their regular meeting held
ut the Elmwood Hotel on the subject
of what the library can do for the
business man. Professor Mariner de-
clared that at the present time 1t IS
necessary for every man who hopes
to succeed in business to take ad-
vantage Of every avenue Of infOrma-
ton for competition Is growing more
keen as time goes on. 1t Is neces-
sary for every man to find the in
formation that he wants even though
he may not know every thing about
his business.
Prof. Mariner averred that the
common idea about libraries is that
they are musty old places and the
librarian an aged man who dodders
about among the books.
The speaker named three great
sources of information that can be
found in every Library, first books,
and there are volumes written about
every business and every trade or
profession: second. periodicals. and
third government documents. Every
thing mentioned is indexed very
utes one can find the desired infor-
nation.
Although 1t Is not generally
known" remarked MIR. Mariner,
there is an index to magazines that
gives the location of every article,
and there are indexes to the govern
ment documents. The only news
paper in this country to have an in
dex is the New York Times and this
index is published every week by
the company"
Professor Mariner closed with an
Invitation to the business men of
Waterville to visit the Colby library

formation which they might desire In
respect to their business:
