You And Your Town

After visiting one OF the
smaller towns of South Geor-
gia a few days ago, publish
er said this:
Il veritabIy believe every
man, woman and child in that
town is a booster; every one
has the utmost faith in the little
city; if there is knocker in its
limits, couldn't find him.
That's a remarkable tribute to
pay any town or city. Almost
wherever you go you find the
occasional crouch, the fellow
who says the old town has
gone to the dogs. Sometimes
he occupies a high place, but
usually he is of little importance
in his community.
1t takes faith and work and
kind words to build a town. The
Tampa Tribune says:
If you had a horse that you
wanted to sell, you wouldn't go
about town talking constantly
about its bad points. If you did,
you wouldn't be likely to sell it.
What would you think of a
merchant who made practice of
standing in front of his store
telling all passers that his goods
were shoddy and not worth
much? You would probably say
he is a fool and you would be
right.
Now this town in which you
live is your own; your business
is here, your job is here, your
property is here. Do you think
you are going to make your bust
ness any better or adding to the
value of your property by stand
ing around and roaring about
what rotten town it is? If you
do you'd better see an alienist
about your mental condition.
AS a matter of fact. every
time you run down" your town,
you are hurting your own bust
ness and detracting from the
value of your own property.
Even though you may have no
pride in your community, you
ought to have sense enough not
to injure your own business,
Every business concern, in adj
lition to its stock of goods and
plant, has intangible assets of the
greatest value. Among the as
sets is its good name, its reputa-
ton for square dealing. When
you hurt the good name of such
a concern, you injure it more
than you would if you should
burn down its plant.
Besides its business and indus
trail institutions its homes,
schools and all other kinds of
property, every town has tangi-
BILE assets which must be protect
ed. When you talk down your
town, you are injuring its good
name and thereby giving it a
blow of the most serious kind.
IF for no other reason thar
selfishness. have a good wore
for your town. When the time
comes that you cant say some
thing good. sell out and move.
The town needs you no longer.

Waterville, May 27-The Colby dia-
mond crew rubbed it into the fast
Coburn Classical Institute aggrega-
ton this afternoon on Seavern's field
in a practise game, winning easily
by 1O-1 score. The Blue and Gray
hit the offerings Of Bragg, Shanahan
and Minnehane hard but all three
Maroon hurlers were barely lobbing
the bal lacross and Coach Haines
kept them from working hard because
of hard games which the Maroon will
have the next few days.
The Blue and Gray team showed
some improvement in the field over
| their performance for the last few
days and Coach Freddie Parent used
three hurlers on the mound in an eff
fort to find out who would make the
! final trip of the season. Coulman
started the game and went well for
two innings and then Muir went in
| for a couple more. The southpaw
| sophomore had his opponents guess
| ing at all times and looked good.
| Saucer finished the last two innings
cided to take him along as the third
hurler.
The team will leave Waterville on
| the nine o'clock train for Brunswick
where they will face Bawdoin tomor-
row afternoon in the last game be-
! TWEEN the two colleges this season.
Leaving the home of the Black and
White early Thursday morning, the
| Colby nine will make The trip to Dur
ham where they play against the
! University Of New Hampshire nine
| that afternoon. Friday morning,
Coach Freddie Parents charges will

morning, the locals will land in the
/ Big Green town just in time for their
/ game and then will catch a Sunday
| morning train for Boston and stay
. in town all night. They will journey
to Lewiston Monday and play Bates

gerstrom has been going better in the

Brunswick, May .27-Bowdoin viii
play the next to the last game on the
schedule tomorrow when it will meet
Colby on Whittier field. In their
previous game Bowdoin won l. to 10
and will strive hadr to repeat, as a
win from Colby assures Bowdoin at
least a tie for End position. The
game will be called at $50. After a
strenuous practice this afternoon
Coach Ben Houser was undecided
who to start on the mound tomorrow.
Southwick pitched the winning game
against Colby but Robinson is going
strong and may be chosen to twirl.
In all probability Bowdoin will use
the same lineup as in the Ivy day
game with Bates. the only question
being over the shortstop and third
base positions, which will be covered
by Captain Johnson and Nichols,
who may alternate regular positions
as they did Friday when johnson
covered third instead of his usual
position at short.

LA. CLUB SIGNS
UP LEHIGH u.
STAR TWIRLER

Lewiston, May 27.-The Lewiston
Auburn baseball club has at last sign
ed up one member of their pitching
staff. Word was received in Lewiston
by Manager French Tuesday morning
from Bob Adams of Lehigh University
agreeing to play in Lewiston for the
terms offered him. The services of
Adams were secured through the eff
forts of Phil Brisk. who has seen him
in action many times. Adams is re-
ported to be having a fine season and
has among other victories a win over
Lafayette, which has one of the
strongest teams in the east.
At Lehigh, Adams is used in the
outfield when he is not pitching be-
cause he is classy performer in the
pasture and is one of the most depend
able batters on the team.
The acquisition of Adams leaves
shortstop, first base and two pitchers
positions open on the Lewiston-Auburn
team.
There is a possibility that Del Bis
sonette may be back in Lewiston. At
York. Pa. where Del is playing, there
seems to be more or less discord on
the team. Del is kept in the outfield
and has been put on the mound once,
losing a So game. He is anxious to
play first base, or not at all and Chief
We're. who played the sack last season,
seems to be in line for the berth this
season. Both are hitting at about the

fact that he is putting up a poor field

had a. week layoff and is in perfect
form This game will be grudge

schools has increased greatly since the
Winslow team won the basketball
championship. Things look bright for
a Waterville win. The Winslow team
has been noted for its sluggers but
they have not faced any pitchers Of
the type of the Waterville captain.
This is the chief hope of the Waterville
team. At the same time the Winslow
combination is weak in the box while
the Waterville team has two or three

The Smith seniors have won four
and with only two more games to
play they are practically certain to
again cop the title. The work of Hig-
gins as hurler has been the biggest
single factor in the success of the
team this year, but he has received
remarkable backing both by his bat
terry mate and the rest of the outfit.
In the offensive department the
willow welding of Senegic. Frebezzi,
Weymouth, Higgins and Rowe has
been most effective. In base running
they have shown an ability both in
making the maximum advance on a
