Winslow High Comes i'm for Large
Ovation

A large assemblage of Winslow
people went to Fairfield. Friday
evening, and heartily applauded the
Winslow debaters, Miss Viola Blake
and Sanford Reynolds, who took the
negative stand against Lawrence
Highs debating team on the ques-
ton, Resolved: That the Proposed
Child Labor Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution Should Be Rati-
fed by Maine" The support and
applause of the Winslow crowd was
not in vain for the Winslow debat-
ers won a glorious victory, with
much individual praise and hearty
handclasps from their friends. Both
Miss Blake and MIR. Reynolds, who
are seniors at Winslow High school,
did themselves proud and their re-
buttals were of great emphasis to-
ward the victory as well as the body
of their debates. The enthusiasm of
the Winslow people who went to
Fairfield to hear them speak will
remain partially dormant until next
Wednesday evening, when Miss
Alma Glidden and Lawrence Cole,
also seniors at Winslow High. will
debate in the affirmative stand, on
the same question, with a negative
team from Harmony High school,
and then their applause and sup
port will revert itself to the oppo-
site side of the question and hope
FOR another victory for Winslow. The
Judges at the Fairfield debate were
Professor Ernest Mariner, Miss
Donnie Getchellof Colby College and
Attorney H. c. Marden of Water
Vile.

MERGING TOO
FAST FOR u. S.
Federal Trade Commissions
Inquiry Is Being
Hampered.
Times WGSbinGtOn bureau.
1922 NeIr York A renile

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
Federal Trade Commissions power
trust inquiry is being hampered by
the rapid merging Of the very inter
ests that are being investigated.
This probably will delay and re-
port by the commission to Congress
until late in the year. Thus. despite
the fact that the Senate ordered the
inquiry to secure more light in the
Muscle Shoals controversy, the re-
suits may not be forthcoming until
after Congress has disposed OK the
question.
The probe was directed at the Gen
eral Electric Company. which Sena-
tor Norris OF Nebraska alleged was
dominating the national power field
through the Electric Bond and
Share Company He pointed out that
the Alabama Power Company, one
Of the strongest bidders for Muscle
Shoals, was connected with the
combine.
At the time the inquiry was
started in February. 1926, the Elec-
trio Bond and Share Company. or
ganized by the General Electric
Company, supervised 1,70O operat-
ing companies in forty states.
The company is now planning to
link power transmission systems
from Canada TO the Gulf Of Mexico
in one appropriation, accord
Ing to announcement OF Sidney u.
Mitchell. president. At least twenty
five power corporations will be in
volved. Mitchell predicts that with
In a year or so the tie-up Will cover
practically the entire Nation.
The question facing the Federal
Trade Commission is whether this
physical consolidation reflects a gi.
gantic financial merger. In the
South. at least. the Southeastern
Power Company. controlled by the
Electric Bond and Share Company.
has Just finished buying out the
Georgia Railway and Light Com
pany. adding It TO the Alabama
Power Company, and distribution
lines in Florida and Mississippi al

The numerous companies super
vised by the Electric Bond and Share
Company have in the past always
operated independently. The phys
ical merger plan Is an entirely new

GRAIN PRICES

Wheat Features in Morning
Advance.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Gra1n
prices opened higher on the Chicago
Board OF Trade today. Wheat was
the feature of the advances with
grains ranging from 11ac to 2sc.
Wheat opened above Thursdays
final figures in all deliveries. The
boom was not unexpected, in view
Of the decidedly stronger undertone
of foreign markets at the opening
today. This mornings advances sub
stantiated the predictions Of many
local traders that a marked upturn
was due in this grain. Although
the tone of the local pit is decidedly
better than it has been for some
time, sentiment is prevalent among
many local operators that the pres
ent rally will be temporary.
Corn opened fractionally higher in
all deliveries. The small receipts in
this grain are offset to some extent
by the usually Indifferent prices.
Oats opened fractionally higher all
along the line. This grain lacks
strength enough to get out in front
on its own. Provisions opened
higher.
