WE FEEL SORRY FOR

The man who sees only the possibility of so
many hundred feet of lumber when he gazes at
a sky-reaching pine;
The person who gazes at a bit of swamp
land in which red-winged blackbirds sway on
tall reeds and the sky's own blue is reflected in
the iris growing there and, viewing all this can
only see what good corn that bit of earth would
grow, once it were drained;
The parent who watches his active young
ster tramping and scuffling through the leaves
and thinks only of how many pairs of shoes the
boy goes through each year;
The man or woman who reads a book be-
cause the author got ten thousand dollars fol
writing it.;
For all those folks whose valuation of things
is expressed by the dollar sign; for those who
miss intrinsic values.
Gosh, yes; we are sorry for all these poor
missers.

DANGER SIGNALS

A IL dangers have their warning signs, their

About the most out of date thing in the

The Catholic Transcript, published at Hart
ford, Conn.,, says:
Sincere friends of the Knights of
Columbus wish that their representatives
at the recent Philadelphia convention had
been less generous in their condemnation
and more generous in their expressions
of respect and reverence when address
ing themselves to the President Of the
United States and the State Department

has been created under American aus

There comes glimmer of hope that some
day pretty soon Redwood Falls is going to know
what is written in her old charter and whether
she needs new one or not. Personally we are
of the opinion that she probably does. The old
charter was written years ago and conditions
have changed much since then. While the edi-
tor is not acquainted with the old charter and is
mo authority on what it may or may not contain,
lit doesn't seem reasonable to suppose that it is
las up to date as it should be. At any rate it is
timely that we find out just what is contained
therein and whether we are living up to it or
not We may need whole new document-may-
be one following the commission form of city
government Other cities have found things in
their charters that shouldn't be there and have
found many things lacking that should have
been put there. We have no reason to suppose
that ours is any more nearly perfect and practi-
fcal than are others. Anyway let's find out.

The afternoon meeting lead by the
President, Miss Meroe Moore, had a
program of considerable interest.
Inere are close friends of several of
the society now working in China in
the district where there Is at pres
ent such strong anti-foreign and
anti Christian sentiment. Among
these is Dryden Phelps. son Of DR..
Phelps, a few years ago the pastor
or the Baptist church, now working
in this section.
Many items Of interest from books
read during the winter were given
by Mrs. Drummond who told of the
great interest she felt in the plan
advocated by one writer of giving to
small children each week three pen

one for self and one to save, thus

manent and will fill long felt need
for such club to carry on work of a
dramatic nature. Without doubt the
dramatic club OF the women's division
will cooperate with the Powder and
Wig to stage elaborate productions
during the year. although no definite
steps have been taken to plan for such
cooperation, due to the fact that the
club has been organized but two days.
Any member of the mems division will
be eligible to membership in the or
ganiZation and only members of the
student body will be eligible for men,
bership. Prof. Cecil A. Rollins of the
Colby faculty, professor of dramatics
will be the faculty supervisor of the
organization. His services will be ex.
ceedingly valuable as he has had a
great deal of experience not only with
college productions but also with
plays and dramas more elaborate than
anything which the Powder and Wig
can hope to put on for some time.
The charter members of the organ
ization are Ralph Aver, '2S. of Lynn,
Mass; Ralph Flahive, '27, of Methuen,
Mass; William Pierce, '27 of Hyde
Park, Mass; Cecil Foote, '2S, of Hol-
yoke Mass; Russell Butler, '29, of

Cecil E. Foote; treasurer and business
manager, Ralph T. Flahive; faculty
supervisor, Prof. Cecil A. Rollins.
The selection Of play will be an
nounced at the meeting tomorrow and
it will probably be some modern work
which has gained prominence during
the recent season.

Record Bargain
Sales at Department
Store in Waterville

What is probably the record for
bargain sales in Waterville is that
now going on at the Goldsmith, Lait
Co. of Main street which is selling
out its entire stock. From the time
that the sale opened a few days ago
a crowd too numerous for the ca
pacity of the store has been on hand
both in the afternoon. At all times
a police officer has been on hand to
keep the crowd in check and at
one time it was necessary to have
three officers at the store. The sys-
tenn has been to fill the store, lock
the doors and not to admit another
store full until the one first admit
ted has been satisfied. The sales
are made to move eXpeditiously by
a force of IS salesladies.
