vitation to give an address on hydro
electric development in Maine: the
present condition as to supply and
demand: shipment of power out of
the state and turning it over to fed
eral control. Mr.. Carter showed how
it would be to the disadvantage of
the state to have hydro electricity ex-
ported at this time.
When he had finished his address,
Mr.. Wyman, as member Of the
state Grange, challenged the accuracy
of some of Mr.. Carriers statements.
He declared Mr.. Carriers statement
to the effect there was no surplus
power in Maine at the present time
was far from the facts. MIR. Wyman
said that ever since he had been con-
nected with water power development
in Maine the surplus and wastage
mad more than equalled the amount
used. He said not more than ten
percent of the Gulf Island Power was
sold and it looked as though the other
30 percent would run into the sea for
the next year. He also denied that
he ever favored the Fernald law
which prohibits the shipment of pow-
er outside the state.
Senator Carter charged Mr.. Wyman
with having changed his mind about
the Fernald law since he was pres
ident of the Central Maine Power
Company. Mr.. Carter also asserted
that his statement regarding the sale
of power in Roclsland and other plac-
es in Maine We're based upon state
ments issued from the office of the
company to stockholders.
:. The evening session was devoted
TO exemplification of the fourth and
fifth degrees.

Quite some surprise, that defeat of
vickery & Hill at the hands of Gam
netts. However, the best of clubs
drop one now and then and the Print
ers probably will not drop another for
while. The Vickery e Hill club is a
fast one and doesn't get tripped up
very often.
Incidentally James Comedian has
been signed up for next week to coach
the Vickery e. Hill aggregation. AS
the Printers have several men who for
merly worked under Jimmie, the work
outs will probably be devoted to the
men who have never played under the
Comedian system. The rest of the
men wifi put IN their time with jim
mie, polishing UP on some of the finer
points of offensive and defensive bas-
ketball
Odd someone hasn't grabbed UP this
A. T. Q. outfit from Colby College to
come down to play in Augusta. The
collegians were champions of their
tnterfraternity league last winter and
are capable of putting up a good ar
gunent. The team from Waterville
could be brought down for a reason
able sum and the game would prove
to be hummer with either the Legion
or Vickery & Hill as the team repre-
senting.
The Legion and vickery & Hill have
agreed to abandon the practice of bor-
rowing players. The Legion will still
have the services of Yippie Nickless,
Smith Dunnack, Dick Benn, Vic Nc
Courtney. Paul Devine, Johnnie Will
son, Cy Thyng and several other good
men, while Vickery & Hill will stick to
their original lineup. which Is good
enough to satisfy anybody. These two
teams are as evenly matched as any
two teams ever were in Augusta and
both will put on some fast independent
contests against the best opponents.
Frankie DeRice, who handles the n
nances and arranges for Johnny Nc
Intyre, is out with the bald statement
that every time he tries to match
Johnny with Ted Cossette the latter
crawls into his shell and refuses to
come out. frankie says that If john
ME ever gets Ted into a Lewiston or
Augusta ring the said Cossette will
think he has landed in glove factory.
John agrees to post forfeit for
weight and appearance and invites Ted
to do likewise.
The above statement sort Of sub
stimulates Harris Albert Sears state
ment to the effect that Ted was awful
shy when Harry tried to get him to
meet Mcintyre in Augusta. Mcintyre
Gays Ted needn't be afraid that he will
be too heavy. as John is ready to make
weight for the Montreal Walter.
Furthermore" adds Johnny. ~Cossette

because he has no title. I am, and
