LIVESTOCK PERISH
IN MATTHEW FARM
SATURDAY A. N,

Six head of cattle pair of horses
ard about an hundred hens persisted
in fire which destroyed the barn on
the Charles Matthew farm on the
tony road. shortly after midnight.
Saturday morning. The origin of
the blaze is Il mystery, and only the
valiant work OF neighbors and a
crew of SIX firemcn from the Hart
ford fire station, who went to the
scene with the combination chemical
truck at about A. NJ, saved the
Cwe Hing house and other buildings
from destruction.
Iesidcs the barn and the livestock,
Mr. Matthew lost other contents. in
Guiding some 40 tons of hay and all
his farming implements. and accord
ing to his estimate the loss will APP
proNimate $4,000.
1t was at first thought that youn''
boy. LCraCnzo Carpenter. about u
Years of age. had persisted in the fire
as he had been accustomed occas-
irral!v to spend the nights there.

ior's son We're in Augusta last eve

College Bell
To Remind Tardy
Sunday Morning

President Arthur ]. Roberts has
introduced new and somewhat
novel custom at Colby college, Sun
day morning being the first Sunday
on which this custom was carried
out. The Colby president has d.
rected that the old college bell be
rung twice on Sunday mornings.
Just to speak a word to some boys
conscience" as he said In chapel
saturday morning. Hereafter on
each sunday morning throughout
the college year the college bell will
cease to have O. day of rest and will
be rung. once at $50 o'clock IA a
rising bell and again at 10. 10 o'clock
Tor church. The idea behind Pres
ident's new plan Is to get more COL
lege men to attend church regularly.
In chapel Saturday morning Pres
ident Roberts told the student BODY
OF his new plan and then continued
on the first of a series of talks about
observing the Sabbath in college. He
SAID that there was too little privacy
In college these days and that a COL
lege man needed a few minutes a
week to think OF things other than
pertaining to the everyday life. He
said that even II the sermon might
be dry and uninteresting, it would
ne worth while simply to attend
church and have the brief time in
quietness to ones self for medita-
ton. He urged all OF the men in
college to attend church regularly.
In touching the end of his first
talk. President Roberts also urged
the men to write to their parents on
Sundays. sending long and interest
ing letters which contained more
than simply the few words that the
writer was well. having a hard time
In his courses, and needed more
money. He said that parents Of stu
dents could be carried right through
students four years in college by
letters.
President Roberts requested that
he have the attendance of all of the
men in college next Saturday as he
would give his second talk on Sun
day that day and 1t would be full OF
most interesting material.

cents permitted in days trading
and the other futures gained nearly
as much. These gains were extended
as the week passed until they
amounted 70 nearly I cents. Short
covering and speculative buying
were the chief factors in the ad-
vance. Mill buying. which had been
coming on bfeaks. was diminished
on the rise. Money remained cheap
with rates at about the lowest OF the
year. Due principally to tax date
operation the earning assets of the
federal reserve system showed a
rather sharp drop. Discounts and
circulation were little allied and the
opinion prevailed that no sudden
change in the character Of the
money market was probable.

! At CITY HALL MEETINGS

The first days meetings OF the

cd the one which was held Sunday
evening.
The music which was by the Berge
sisters was of an order difficult to
describe. Miss Emma Berge, who
leads both by voice and with the
trumpet has a most charming per-
sonality which combined with the
highest Of talent makes her an ex-
traordinary leader. With no appar-
ent effort the whole audience seemed
to follow her hand in leading as
though it We're a fairy wand. The
singing of the sisters could hardly
he surpassed for sweetness and
power. Both of the audiences on
Sunday sat spell bound as the girls
were, singing.
Mr.. Greenwoods addresses were
