Still Alarms Keep
Department Busy

Five silent alarms for small fires
in different parts of the city made
a busy day for the Waterville Fire
department Yesterday. AT 1890
o'clock in the morning the chemical
truck answered a call for chimney
fire at the home of w. II. Branch at
81 Western avenue, and the use of
one chemical was sufficient to put
out the blaze.
At $50 O'Clock in the afternoon a
grass fire behind the home of Roscoe
Paine at 25 College avenue made a
trip by the truck necessary and it
had hardly returned to the station
when, at 2:15. a fire in the brush be-
hind the house at 9 Main court had
to be quenched.
About o'clock the trnuck made
a run to the lower end of Grove
street to fight a grass fire which Of
fered little or no trouble. At 6:10
telephone pole on Front street near
College avenue, caught fire and was
burning merrily by the time the fire.
men arrived at the scene. Although
this fire was considerably easier to
fight than woe some of the others,
from a monetary point of view It
was the most serious of the day.
The pole was nearly burnt through
and it will have to be replaced.

One of the principal orchestral
numbers to be played by the Water
Vile Orchestral Society on Thursday
next when Miss Susanna keener Wis
it's at the Opera House is the first
movement of SChubert's Symphony
No. 8, in b Minor, usually called the
Unfinished Symphony for there are
but two complete movements. There
are nine bars of n Scherzo and with
them the symphony stops; and Yet
among all the composers works. not
one is more beautiful in ideas or
perfect in form than this. For al
most so years the manuscript re-
manned unknown and it is due to
Sir George Grove that it was res
Cued from it's obscurity and given to
the world for its constantly increas-
ing delight. He says of it: 1T must
be the record of some period of I'M
usual depression. unusual even for
the susceptible and passionate ma
ture of Schubert
Under the baton Of Professor
Drew, the Orchestral Society has
played the Allegro with wonderful
interpretation. The movement OPP
ems at once with an impressive sub
ject given out by the 'ccllos and
basses. At its close the clarinets and
piano take up a melodious pianissi-
mo, the violins accompanying it in
an agitated manner. After a short
development of tbs theme the .celos
enter with a melody which will never
cease to fascinate the nearer with
it's wonderful beauty and grace of
motion. After its REPETITION by the
violins in octaves there comes a
Coll NV fArN
ate declaration in the minor, as if
to drown the memory of the former
moment of happiness. The beauti-
full theme again returns, however,
and the first part of the movement
closes with a struggle between these
expressions of perfect happiness and
wild passion. The second part opens
with the original subject varied for
the basses. which is grandly devel-
oped amid full orchestral outbursts
up to a powerful climax. AS it dies
away, the first theme re-enters. and
is again treated with charming va
riety, the whole closing with anoth-
err climax in which the opening sub
ject forms the material of the Coda
Such, in brief, Is an outline of
but one Of the numbers which is
sure to captivate the audience. In
addition, there will be Grieg suite,
some lighter numbers among which
will be heard Won Suppes Light
Cavalry Overture" This last num-
Der has never failed to meet with
the approval of an audience and 1t
is sure to do so next Thursday.
The advance sale of tickets IS
moving along rapidly. but there will
be few seats left for the late

from any member of the Society, at

success in preparatory work Ninety
per cent Of the Coburn graduates go
to college which is a fine record. With
this to rely upon DIR. Padelford said
that Coburn had the best possible
chance Of staying in the race and
continuing to grow.
Mr.. Written gave a vivid sketch OF
the life of DR.. Randall Condor, a Co
burn graduate who was one of the
speakers at the Alumni banquet. DR..
Condor after continuous uphill
struggle to get an education finally
graduated from Coburn, then Water
willie Academy. He gives much of the
credit of his success to DR.. Hanson,
who at that time was principal of the
school. Today DR.. Condor is one of
the four highest paid educators in
the world, holding the office of super
intendent of schools in Cincinnati,
Ohio. Recently he was granted a
years leave of absence to devote his
time to the study of religious educa-
ton In the schools of this country.

Atlantic Monthly publication. In
closing Mr.. Written said that the stu
dents of the present generation with
twice the opportunities that these men
everything into their work and keep
up the traditions of Coburn.
At a meeting of the senior class
Yesterday morning President Henry
Shanahan asked the members to
consider some gift that the class
might present to the school at COM
mencement. He suggested that the
two brick pillars might be erected at
the entrance Of the driveway be-
tween the school building and Mu-
sic. Hall. These pillars would form
gate and make a fine appearance.
A committee OF two, namely Ever
EFT Homes and Vanson Romeo, were
appointed to investigate and report
at the next meeting On the cost of
such a project.
George Parsons, a six year old
pupil in the piano department of the
Coburn school of Music entertained
at Chapel yesterday morning when

was forced to answer to several en-
cores.

PENSION PLAN
FIzzLE
In Packing Concern is Given
Publicity By UniOnist

Chicago.-Organized butcher work
men are not permitting unorganized
employees in this industry to forget
the pension fzzle of Morris & Co.,
when that concern was taken over by
the Armour corporation.
The Morris employees contributed to
the fund. They were led to believe
that if they avoided the union and
were satisfied with wages set by the
company they would be cared for as
long as they lived 1t was a glowing
picture, but the Morris owners had
an opportunity to sell to Armour and
the pension was discontinued. The
employees were defeated in their legal
effort to compel the Armour concern
to continue the pensions.
These workers told Circuit Court
Judge Ryner that they would not have
contributed to the pension fund nor
would they have been content with
small wages had it not been their un-
derstanding that their pensions would
never be cut off by the sale of the
business or otherwise.
The employees plea was dismissed,
but the court made this reference to
the tragic disillusion: "There were
employees who toiled and contributed
for years in the hope of pension for
life"
The Armour concern finds it wise
not to attempt to interest its en-
ployes in a pension, but is urging
them to buy stock in the concern.
This plan is painted in the same glow
ing colors, and the workers are led to
believe that this, rather than pensions
will assure them an income in their
old age.
The organized butcher workmen are
asking the Armour employees if the

STATE WAGE BOARD
OPPOSED BY LABOR

Worcester, Mass.-The Central La
Dor Union has declared that the state
minimum wage board is haven for
''lame ducks" and should be abolished.
The State Federation of Labor con-
vention will be urged to take the
same position.
Under the law, the board must make
public the names of firms that violate
it's awards. Recently a Boston news
paper refused to publish names and
the court upheld this action. The
board has made no other attempt to
give publicity to violators of its
awards and the system of public
opinion" upon which the minimum
wage law rests, has collapsed.
Delegates to the Central Labor
Union declared that the board mem
bers are more interested in their
soft snaps" than in the workers.

orders are general throughout the

initiative and judgment.

supposed to be the last word in social

magnificent turnout on defense day,
which, being July Fourth, was dead
sure to be turnout day and no
foolin' anyhow.
We are great people. There's no
doubt about that But when it
comes to knowing where we're at we
can be in more places at once than
anyone on earth except Hindu rope
climber.
Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Borah and
Mr.. Kellogg and Mr.. Sheffield held a
little pow-wow and decided to tell
Mexico where to get off at, knowing
that they were perfectly safe in tell
ing Mexico where to get off at-just
as safe as if they were telling the
Florida Keys which way to turn; and
a lot safer than challenging the Boot
leggers' Association.
And then Mr.. Coolidge says the
proper thing is to not have any
brawls with your neighbors or with
anybody else's neighbors. The way to
do that, it seems, is not to hand any
insults to those that are strong enough
so that they can stand little dis
agreement without getting scared
fightless.
What we need is little sense in
diplomacy and in government, too.
We need few speeches that aren't
made to suit somebody, but that are
made to express the feelings of this
nation, which is neither cowardly and
white livered, nor all full of swagger
and the lust of conquest.
Whatever any speech may say, the
fact remains that this nation will
fight for a prineiple-and there are
some principles left in the world,
strange as that may seem.
Every person hopes right principles
can prevail without having to get
serious about the discussion of them,
but anybody whose principles are
worth anything to him will stand for
them as long as he can stand at all.
