Ahmed was firing Elise. In this
hectic life there was no room for
man who moped in a corner. That
love she still had for Kendrick filled
her heart to the exclusion of all
other love. She was loveless wom-

Felice pleased her. She knew she
was now clever enough to defy Felice
and all his efforts. and she found an
amusement in playing with him. But
still Felice, like Ahmed, hung close,
and still, like Ahmed, he hoped.
At last came that afternoon when

She had lunched with Felice and

collected for previous campaign.
Have you received any contri-
buttons from J. p. Morgan and

MIR. Hodges had finished with the
lists.
YES. yes" was the answer, II
don't know the names of all the
members of the firm, but I do know
that we have had contributions from
Dwight Morrow and Thomas Coch-
ran. each giving $780,"
Hodges explained to the committee
that the net expenditures by the Re-
publican national organization in the
presidential campaign had aggregated
S1.S42.959. the other $371,35S having
been collected for the congressional,
senatorial and state campaigns and ex-
pended for those purposes through the
regular committees.
The national organization started
out on an estimated budget need of
100000 for the campaign. Mr..
Hodges said. He added that collection
up to October 10 had run about $780,
600 short Of those OF the 1920 cam
paign.
Congressman Nelson in his statement
to the committee said that LaFollette-
wheeler organization had made a bud
get estimate ranging from 100000 to
$l'5o0.000. but that this had been dis
regarded. He thought the campaign
could be wound up with an additional
expenditure of $4,000. making the tota
approximately S250.000, including sums
received through the conferences for
progressive political action.
Mr.. Nelson said he had no knowledge
as TO what sums were being spent by
labor organizations on behalf on the
LaFollette-Wheeler campaign, but he
old Know that the American Fedora
tlon or Labor was conducting an inde-
pendent campaign, collecting and ex.
pending its own funds. He disclaimed
knowledge OF either the source or the
amount.

COLBY PRESIDENT INTE RESTS NWANIANS
IN talk ON FARMERS, war AND EDUCATION

That the farmer should receive
preferential treatment az he is the
backbone of the country and the bull
wark against radicalism and COM
munism. was the declaration Of Ar
thur ]. Roberts, L. l.. D.. president
OF Colby College. in the main speech
at the regular meeting Of the Au-
g'ista Kiwanis club which was held
at the Augusta House, Thursday
evening at 6:15 o'clock.
DR.. Roberts made another interest
ing statement when he said that
farming should be prohibited by law
as 1t is really a form Of gambling.
He stated that It Is not a business
as the elements Of weather and
chance are primary and nothing can
really be depended upon.
President Roberts was born upon
farm and has always taken a great
interest In the farmer, so this was
one OF three subjects upon which he
! touched In the course of his address
,, He said that the people of this State
should not feel badly to see some
farms deserted because by leaving
| those which are entirely unsuited for
, agricultural purposes because OF
rocks, poor soil and other reasons
the owners are showing good judge
| ment and common sense.
The speaker explained how much
more difficult it Is getting to KEEP
people upon the farm. and that to
some this Is hard to understand
| when living conditions on the farm
have become so much improved with
the advent Of electrical appliances

tons. This he attributed to the lack
Of money on the farms. Taxes are
altogether too high in rural commun-
titles and the country districts do not
set enough benefit from the taxes
they pay. The farmers share Of the
expense of upkeep on the roads is
Altogether too large for what they
get out Of it and some method should
be devised whereby those owning the
expensive cars should pay the larger
part Of the road bill. He said that
he should like to have some tax ex-
pert figure out just what share the
farmer should pay.
Education" was another Of the
subjects treated by the speaker. He
spoke Of the present trend in young
people Of this age to attend college
and gave several reasons why more
young people are going to college each
year. These reasons. are because
college is the logical place for boys
and girls between the ages OF IL to
20 to pass the formative period OF
their development. because OF q
change in the attitude Of big bust
ness men. who now want college
men In their organization, where be-
! fore they were not desired, because
many young men go for the purpose
Of participating in athletics, and the
main reason because Of the phenom-
inaf growth Of the free public high
schools The students as they near
the time when they will graduate
from high school and with college

their education. absorb the college
atmosphere and see the need for q

The last subject touched upon by
DR.. Roberts was "War." He has
some very positive opinions about

, may be prevented. He believes that
IT Is true that everyone hates wa,
