One possibility of difficulty in hold

he would never defend his title in

''Since I won the championship in

The powers that he in New York and
the responsible promoters throughout
the country do not want a heavy

vented it from taking place"
1t was because Wills was regarded
as the logical contender that the New

Saying that from the time he won
his championship in 1919 he always
wanted a bout with Wills. Dempsey
in a statement today asserted such
bout had been prevented because
the powers that be in New York
and the responsible promoters
throughout the country do not want

Dempsey then said that his man
aGer had deposited $50 600 in New
York with the request that Wills
deposit a like sum. The winner would
take all in Dempsey Wills bout, and
the money would he returned if
Tunney beats Dempsey.

Waterville to
Have Second Auto
Show Feb. 18-19-20

Waterville will be fortunate again
this year to have a second auto show
held under the auspices of Company
G, 103rd Maine Infantry. The af-
fair will take place on February IS.
10 and 20, with many features of
unusual interest in addition to the
showing Of the various makes of
cars. The first show of this kind
was held two years ago by the same
body and was very successful. This
year, however, it is hoped to eclipse
the former affair and according to
present plans this will undoubtedly
be accomplished. There has been
some talk among the various organ
izations of the city relative to the
matter Of holding an auto show this
winter and the National Guard unit
finally braved the elements and an
nounced their plans. Immediately
upon receiving this notice the auto
mobile dealers of the city made ap-
that all of the 16 auto stalls have
been taken.
There will be several other at
fractions at the show as well as the
various automobile demonstrations,
as many of the local dealers will
have other displays and with this
assurance the show should be a
success.
When the last exhibition Of this
nature was held, outside assistance
was obtained in order to ensure sue
cess. but this winter the managers
have decided to make it strictly a
local affair. The dealers of Water
Vile and all those interested in maxi
ing a success Of the occasion will
cooperate in putting it over and their
assistance will be of the greatest val
lie. The undertaking will be entire
ly local and this should aid in Gre
ating interest among the citizens OF
the city.
All Of the leading makes of cars
will be shown and the dealers in Wa
terville will put forth their best eff
forts to advance the sale of their
ma rticular make of car

WATERv|LLE HIGH
SCHOOL PLAY TO
Be HELD FEB. Il

The tickets for the annual Water
Vile High school play will be in the
hands Of the students next oMnday
for general distribution. The play
will be held on Friday evening, Feb.
IL in the City Opera House. With
out doubt this years attraction will
be at least equally as good as those
of former seasons as the cast has
shown unusual talent during the re-
hearsals which have been held dur
ing the past few weeks. The members
of the cast are particularly well
suited for their parts this year and
indications at present are that every
participant will make an admirable
showing.
Some of the plays Of the past have
been rather remarkable as compared
with the plays Of similar organiza-
tons aud this year should see the
reputation which has been made by
the former companies properly up
held. To do this the individual per-
formers must be alert and show
every bit Of talent which they pos
sess as those who have seen these
productions during the past few
years remember several individual
performances which We're very brill
liant indeed. One of the strongest
features in favor of a successful pro-
duction this winter is the fact that
the coach has chosen students to fill
each part who is admirably suited
to play in that particular capacity.
The parts have been adapted to the
players to a greaW extent and this
should increase very greatly the val
ue of the play.
Professor Cecil A. Rollins Of the
Colby college faculty is coach of the
play and his experience with pro-
auctions Of various groups as well
as with the casting Of parts has
proven very valuable. Professor
Rollins has made very detailed
study of play production and has al
ways been interested in some sort
Of activity of this nature. Under his
guidance the high school cast has
progressed very rapidly and it is
largely due to his work that the parts
have been learned as well as they
have at this date. He has also done
some very fine work in aiding the
ofstudents to develop a good speak
ing voice as he realizes the import
ance of emphasis upon this in an
amateur production.
The play will be run in acts be-
tween which several novelty features
of exceedingly high merit have been
introduced.

WOman's Club Notes
Mothercraft Department

The mothercraft department of the
Waterville Woman's club held their
meeting in the Woman's association
rooms Thursday evening with a
good number present, this being a ra =
ther special occasion. The newly
furnished room dedicated to the use
OF mothers and young children shop
ping or visiting in the city, was for
mally opened at this time. Consid-
cradle credit is due Mrs. Kiersted
and her committee, Mrs. Russell
Hamlin and Mrs. Blynn Goodrich for
the work that has been done on the
room. The club department had the
room papered and painted, hung new
curtains and draperies at the win
doWs and made runners for the table
and old fashioned bureau. A plant in
the center of the table and several
children's books scattered around in
their bright covers added to the gem
eral bright effect of the room. The
dainty window draperies with their
rose ver-draperies gave very
cheery aspect to the room. Two
comfortable rockers and long lea
Their covered settee would seem to
provide sufficient seats for the mo-
Tiers and place to put down the
young child. One of the things which
they hope to add very soon is a
rocking chair or straight backed
chair or possibly two of them for the
little folks to sit in. and one other
need is an old fashioned mirror to
hang over the old fashioned bureau.
The room. however, is very attrac-
tive as it is.
The top drawer of the bureau con-
tains, we noted, several articles for
the amusement of the small visitor
such as rattles, strings of bells, ETC.
Mrs. kiersted made the opening
speech, telling the ladies what the
committee had done and what plans
thew have for the future. All things
that have h""n accomplished have
been with the cooperation of Miss
Edna Clark, secretary at the rooms
who has aided in every way possible.
A beautiful picture of the grand
canal in Venice belonging to the
rooms brightens one wall.
Following the opening exercises,
Mrs. Gertrude Clark and Mrs. Frank
Weber in charge of the program for
the evening presented Miss True
Hardy of Colbv who gave two read
1ngs, Miss Lucille Thompson and
Miss Evelyn Lydic rendered a piano
duet and Mrs. Kiersted and Mrs.
George Ferrell vocal solos.
Mrs. George Boyden. Mrs. Ira. Bel
yea and Mrs. Nevers were the host
esses Of the evening and served de-
licious refreshments.

Relief Fund Ball
To Be Given by
Hook & Ladder Bows

The first relief fund ball ever to be
given by the Waterville Hook and
Ladder company will take place on
Wednesday evening, January 27 in
the Elks' Hall. Plans have been very
nearly completed and every possible
attempt has been made to make the
affair the success which it should be.
There will be both modern and old
fashioned dances on the program SO
that the ball will not be confined to
persons Of one age. The old time
dances are proving immensely popu-
lar in this vicinity and without doubt
their appearance on the program Of
the f1remen will meet with general
approval. This is the first attempt
by the local Hook and Ladder COM
pany to run such a ball and If this
years affair is a success an attempt
will be made to hold a similar ball
annually.
The funds from this ban will go to-
ward the establishment of a relief
fund for the members of the fire de-
partment who may be injured on
duty. At the present time the city of
Waterville offers no compensation to
any member of the department who
is injured in the performance of his
duty and the fund which will get it's
start next Wednesday will fill a very
acute need. After the establishment
Of the relief fund it will be increased
by the addition from tie to time of
the proceeds from various entertain
ments and social times which are con-
templated. The protection of the
members Of the department d their
families is the object for which this
fund will be used. A serious injury
to an active member would leave him
without any means Of support in most
cases but with the development Of
the present plans this will be over
come. The cause is certainly a wor-
thy one and surely deserves the sup
port of the citizens of Waterville.
