Nationwide Study
OF Forest Taxation

Washington, d. c., Nov. ia ma
ton wide study of the forest taxa
ton problem in relation to reforesta-
being launched by the Forest Ser
vice, United States Department of
Agriculture, which today announced
the appointment Of Prof. Fred R.
Fairchild of Yale University as
director Of the investigation.
A detailed study Of forest taxation
will be made in all principal forest
regions to determine the effect of
present tax laws on reforestation and
timber holdings, and the conditions
that must be met in any effort to
readjust present tax laws to be fair
to land owners and public treasures.
The study is the outgrowth of a
country-w wide investigation of re-
forestation conducted by special
committee of the United States Sem
ate in 1923-24. This committee
reached the conclusion that timber
growing would be greatly stimulated
by giving land owners security
against unjust and burdensome taxa
ton during the growing period when
young forests produce no income
from which taxes can be paid.
SSCTcldTy VI ASTlCuItuIc diulAc,
in commenting upon the appointment
of Prof. Fairchild, declared the forest
tax study Of paramount Importance
to the reforestation Of the country's
81 million acres Of privately-owned
forest land.
This tax study is one Of the most
important steps of recent years in
forest conservation" said the Secre-
tary, land the Government is
fortunate in securing Prof. Fairchild,
who is one of the country's fore
most authorities on forest taxation.

Practical results. instead of

Henry Ford Is
In Favor of Old
Dance Step Revival

Detroit, Nov. 11-(AP)-St. Paurs
Cathedral hall, which has seen the
election Of two bishops and the settle
ment OF many weighty diocesan prob
lens Of the Protestant Episcopal
church, has become Mecca for those
who believe, with Henry Ford, in the
revival Of the old fashioned dances.
With the hearty Enforcement of
Bishop Herman Page, the hall Is be-
ing used twice monthly for classes of
instruction in the almost forgotten
steps: and there is being aroused an
enthusiasm which Mr.. Ford Is hope
full will return the waltz. the gavotte,
the schottfsche and even the homely.
boisterous quadrille to a parity with
the Charleston.
Mr.. Ford has been one of the most
active participants at the Cathedral
parties, acting as instructor to mat
ron.s and misses alike. Mrs. Ford, too,
is showing a lively interest, and the
two are among the most accomplished
Of dancers.
Glasses are in charge Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin B. Lovett, who con-
duct dancing classes under Mr.. Ford's
auspices at Dearborn. This quartet
Mr.. and Mrs. Lovett and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ford work zealously at each
meeting to illustrate the old dances;
reviving them for the more elderly
pupils, introducing them to the young
people.
The Ford orchestra Is a strange
contrast to the blatant. derbied cor
net. the bleating saxophone and the
assertive tympani of the modern
'jazz" band. There are no crashing
cymbals, no ripping and syncopated
pianoforte. The orchestra consists of
a Hungarian cympalon, a dulcimer a
great horn like tuba, violin and a
guitar-a quaint quintette that pro-
vides a fitting background for the
modest steps danced to it's music
The music, too, is reminiscent.
Here and there come melodies recog-
nizable to those whose memories dip
back into the nineties. Nellie Gray"
is there, as are many Of Stephen Fos-
ter's strains. Young faces remain
impassive as these melodies sing
forth, but old and young alike re-
spond to the gleeful "Ta- -ra-ra
Boom de Ay."
The intricate steps Of the native
dances are given much attention. The
old fashioned waltz finds many ex-
ponents who need little more than a
brushing back of memory to make
them proficient. The 'Varsovienne"
of Warsaw, which seems like triple
step has become popular.
Other dances include the older
round dances. the square dances, the
redowa waltz, the valeta waltz, the
heel-and- toe polka, the seaside polka,
and several types Of the schottische
and gavotte

ARMISTICE DAY
MEMORABLE ONE
FOR WATERvILLE

Yesterday was In all ways a men,
orable one In Waterville and never
before has the city seen such happy
and successful Armistice day cele-
bration. From the time that the big
parade got under way at 1880 o.
clock until early this morning there
was action of some sort. Ideal wea-
Their for parades and football games
prevailed with the sun brightly shin
ing and a mild breeze blowing.
The parade was one Of the longest
ever to pass through the streets of
the city and much credit for it's sue
cess is due to Charles F. Jones. who
was the marshal and to Ray Swift,
chairman of the American Legion
committee which had the event un-
der its direction. Not only was the
start made at scheduled time but
the three divisions each found their
places quickly and moved into the
line Of march.
A platoon of waterville's finest
occupied the front position in the
parade. followed by the marshal and
his aids. Company G., under the
command of Capt S. Parker Foss,
was next in line and the superiority
of the soldiership was shown In their
conduct.
The Grand Army Of the Republic,
under the command of Frederick L.
Lunt, travelled in cars as did the
Spanish war veterans and the Fa-
thers'> council Of the American Le-
gion. These three organizations had
as their escort the members of the
40 and under Karekin Sahagian,
who Is the Chef de Care of Maine.
Next was the Waterville Military
band under the direction of George
Pullen and their playing was admir-
able throughout the parade. The
massed colors of the war service or
CARNATIONS of the city followed the
band.
When the parade started the cap
tured German howitzer which has
been secured by the city as mem
orial of the world war. was in the
line Of march and it was one OF the
principal points of attraction. But
the going for the heavy gun and the
tractor pulling it became too rough
on Water street and the howitzer
dropped out. The Forest j. Pare
post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
occupied the last place in the first
division and the members were COM
manded by Carl Dubord.
The turnout Of the faculty and
student body was very. commendable
and much comment was caused by 1t.
The Colby band, the largest and best
that 1t has been for a number OF
years, was followed by practically
every faculty member and after them
came a large majority Of the men
students. The college contingent
was under the command Of Carl A.
Weber.
The Waterville Lions club had an
attractively decorated float in the
line of march. done in the clubs
colors of purple and gold. The other
service clubs of the city were also
represented by decorated automo7

VISITORS DAY
AT FIRE STATION

For members of the waterville
Fire Department, both past and
present, Armistice day was one
which will be long remembered. The
men not only turned out for the par
ade in good number but through the
day the flre station in Post Office
square was visited by many who are
interested in the department and
last evening a supper was served to
a good number of those who are
either active in the department at
the present time or who have been
in the past.
After the parade had finished yes
terday noon the fire department had
parade of its own up Pleasant
street to the home of John Davis a
fireman who a year ago last June
was severely injured while riding to
a. fire. Since that time Mr.. Davis has
been confined to his home and the
demonstration of yesterday so pleas
ed him that he not only thanked all
the members of the department but
expressed the desire that his graft
tude be conveyed to all those he had
not seen, personally.
DR.. r. C. Thayer, the first chief of
the Waterville firemen, was one Of
the happiest of those who turned
out in the big firemen's muster yes
terday. DR.. Thayer was for a num-
Der of years an active fireman and
he thoroughly enjoyed associating
with the present members of the de-
partment yesterday.
The menu for the supper served
in the evening was steamed clans,
oyster stew, coffee ana doughnuts.
The feast was prepared by Charles
Miller, who had as an able assistant
George Perry. Those who were IN
charge of the days festivities were
