Notice is given by the county treas

Mr.. Hartley will demand a showdown
even if he has to deliver another
message to the legislature, and the
situation is likely to burst into an
open, bitter fight.
Close conferees of the governor in
sist that he will not relax and de-
mand a showing of hands on all of
his recommendations, the inference
being that Mr.. Hartley believes the
people are with him and will sustain
him by defeating some of the oppos-
ing legislators at the polls. It is
also being limited in the inner circles
that Mr.. Hartley, if the legislators
sidetrack most of his major bills,
will issue a call for another special
session. This idea is not yet current
in Olympia, but it is being whispered
"a gesture, a threat or rumor, but
it will soon be in the air.

Rev. John RideOut
breaches at St.
Marks Church Sun.

Rev. John Rideout of the staff OF
Trinity church of Boston, supplied
the pulpit at St. Marks Episcopal
church yesterday and he preached
strong sermon before large congre-
cation.
The pastorate has been made vac
ant by the resignation of Rev. John
III. Yates who has gone to Haverh1ll,
Mass, and no announcement as to
new pastor has as yet been made.
Next week Rev. Melville Mclaughlin
of Boston is to come to Waterville
and take charge of the church tenn
porarily. Rev. Mr.. Mclaughlin is
will be remembered by some of the
older residents Of the city as pastor
of the church from 1885 to 1889 and
be had an important part to play in
thehistory of the church during his
incumbency. The house and lot just
east of the church was purchased,
Mr., Mclaughlin advancing the mon
ey. and taking a mortgage on terms
very favorable to the mission. This
was done before the end of 1885.
In 1887 the chapel was painted with
out and frescoed within. the win
dows put in, various other improve
ments made and the church was du-
Nv consecrated on June 9, the money
having been raised to make the last
payment on the lot . During his
pastorate Mr.. Mclaughlin recorded
az baptisms and "a combinations
and he was very much interested IN
the life of the city. He returns to
Waterville with no definite idea of
making his stay permanent but to
fill the position of pastor until the
church has had an opportunity to
consider available candidates.

Prof. Wilkinson
Speaks at Chapel

Professor William J. Wilkinson.
head of the department of history at
Colby college. was the speaker yes
terday afternoon at the vesper SER
vices held in Memorial chapel at COL
by college. Professor Wilkinson spoke
on the philosophy of Count Tolstoy.
the noted Russian man of letters. and
its reflection upon religion. The
Cclby professor stated that, after
Count Tolstoy had been ousted from
Germany for his aethestic views. he
set about the task of finding out who
he was.
In his search. he turned first to
philosophy and this failed to give
him any satisfactory answer. Turn
ing to science. the Russian writer at
tempted to find out through this
medium what he was and again he
was unable so to do. He then turned
to religion. but again he met with the
same fate. Undaunted. Tolstoy con-
tinued his search, only to find in the
end that it was religion which he was
seeking, but that religion had been SO
distorted by man that it was not
easily recognized.
Coburn II. Aver 20 Of Parkman
was in charge of the vesper service
and Miss Hilda NJ. Fife '26 of Kittery
read selections fro mthe Bible. Pray
er was offered by the Rev. William
p. Smith of the Congregational

C. of c. to Discuss
Keeping Highway
Open from Augusta

There will be a meeting of the di-
rectors of the Naterville- Winslow
Chamber of Commerce in the Cham
Der rooms tomorrow afternoon at 4.30
o'clock to consider the feasibility of
maintaining an open road between
Augusta and Fairfield during the
winter time. Up to this time the
road has been passahle for motorists
but 1t is safe to say that one more
heavy snow storm viii make travel
by automobile quite out of the ques-
ton. In years Iast the road was
kept open by use of plows but the
drifting of the snow made this
means out Of the question
Snow in Maine practically confines
automobiles to the cities in the WIN
ter unless some means are taken by
the state or towns to clear the roads
of snow. This is done around Ban
gor and in the coast towns of Lin
coin county bat there the snow fall
is not as heavy and the problem is
different than it is in central Maine
Maine where two feet Of snow at one
storm is not extraordinary.
About the only practical way in
which the roads may be kept open
to travel is the Use of tractors and
the roads would have to be plowed
right after a storm and at other
times when it had not showed be-
cause of the drifting that is bound to
occur in open parts Of the country.

BOOST Maine
LUNCHEON TODAY
At ELKS Hall

ed Boost Maine luncheon. at which
Governor Ralph o. Brewster is to
speak, will be held at Elks' hall.
The demand for tickets for the lun-

However, arrangements can be made
for few more guests and they can
acquire tickets by calling the cham
Der of commerce some time this
morning.
The luncheon at Waterville is to be
the first of a number of luncheons
in Maine cities and was prompted
by the announcement of Governor
Brewsters plans for advertising the
Pine Tree state some weeks ago. A
general committee, of which DR.. j.
F. Hill Of this city is chairman. was
appointed to direct the publicity
work in Kennebec county and Wa
terville was selected rs the first city
in which to hold luncheon. Be-
tween 80 and 40 representatives will
attend so that they can take back
the governors ideas to their towns
folk. Other guests will be State
Representative Charles P Kinsman
of Augusta and Mayor McNaughton
and Alderman Frost. both of Gardi-
ner. Similar luncheoEs will be held
in these two cities in the near flu
ture and their citizeHs will obtain
ideas today that will help when the
luncheons take place.
The hosts of the occasion are the
Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs,
the American Legion. the chamber
Of commerce and the city govern
ment. cooperating at The request of
DIR. Hill.
Governor Brewster will be met at
the Elmwood hotel at 11.45 o'clock
and will be accompanied to the Elks
building by a committee of citizens.
The luncheon will start promptly at
1915 and will be over at 100. so that
the time allotted to thegovernor will
not be long. He will 90 to the SEN
ior high school and address the STU
dents as soon as he mas finished his
talk at Elks' hall and will probably
return to Augusta on an afternoon
train.

being used in the barn. to press hay.
The buildings consisted of ten
room. two story house with a large

hay, which had previously been sold,
and they were assisted by two other
men. About 10 o'clock the engine be-
gan to backfre and the blaze was
discovered hut q few minutes after IL

the flames the ,our men we're able TO
keep the fire down for some time but

in the yard vas frozen up and Lake

other nearby supply Of water is at
such a distance from the farm that
a bucket brigade was not practical.

Business Lures Young
BritOns From Pleasure

London, Jan. la. p. by MaiD.-,
London hostesseS are complaining that
young men and women are taking life
too seriously and that they are not as
easily available for merry weekend
parties as they were because they
usually have responsible engagements
to fulfil. '..I
Eligible bachelors who once could
always be relied upon to contribute to
weekend festivities, now frequently
refuse such invitations on the plea of
business. according to the hostesses,
who assert there is no truth in the ac-
cusation often made by men and
women Of the older generation that
modern youth is careless, irresponsible
and lives only for pleasure.
Girls whose minds formerly were
concerned mainly with dancing and
dresses now take an interest in serf-
Gus things. Many debutantes are fol-
lowing politics with unprecedented
enthusiasm: large number of girls
keep political diaries and have albums
of photographs of members of Parlia-
mcnt instead of the former collections
of autographs and photographs of
good looking actors.
