The Cony high affirmative debat-
ers in the Bowdoin interscholastic
debating league won over the Bruins
wick high team Friday afternoon
but reports from their negative team,
which argued with Edward Little
high at Auburn were that Edward
Little had won, so that Cony is elm
mated from the finals. In Augusta,
Robert Leadhetter of Cony was cho-
sen as the best speaker and in Au-
burn, Marion White of the Cony team
was voted that honor.
The Cony victory in this city is
the more pleasing to the local de-
baters in that Cony was represented
by a team of but two debaters with
an alternate. while their opponents
used three and an alternate. This
was due to an error at Cony. a
change in the number of persons
composing team having failed OF
notice at the local school. In pre-
vious year 1t has been the custom to
use the two man team, but this was
changed this year, fact that was
not noted at Cony until about two
days before the debate. AS result
Cony used but two in the main argu-
ments and the alternate assisted with
the rebuttal.
The Cony delivery was far better
than that of the Brunswick team and
was one of the contributing factors to
the Cony win. The Cony stand on the
question:, which was Resolved: That
the United States government should
own and operate the anthracite coal
mines Of the United States" was.
briefly, as follows:
The present manner in which the
coal mines are being conducted is a
disgrace to the country. There have
in the past years been series of
strikes, eliminating in the one now
in progress which has been going on
for IS weeks. Coal mining in the an
thracite mines is at a standstill. the
moned supply is nearly exhausted.
miners are in need and the supply in
the ground Is limited. If the United
States government would step in and
take over the mines they could operate
them upon a year-round basis, mining
conditions would be improved. coal
would be conserved in the mining so
that the supply would last longer and
the existing coal monopoly would be

Legion Minstrels to
Have Their Premiere
At National Home

The word that the Legion Minstrels
of this year is an entertainment ex-
traorlinary has reached beyond the
immediate boundaries of Augusta,
the home city of the James Fitzger-
aid post, and the booking agents of
the National Home theatre at Togus
have contracted for a presentation
of the show there on the evening of
Thursday, January 81.
Tuesday evening, January 26, is
the date of the show at City Hall in
this city, and members of the big
troupe are advising their friends that
their director, Jerry Carey, has
thoroughly imbued his disciples with
the pep and snap, for which he is
famous behind the footlights,> and
the whole show will run at express
speed until the final curtain ends the
performance and heralds the grand
ball to follow.
One of the black face wing men in
this years Legion entertainment is
Charles Bresette, who is familiarly
known as one of the Burger" boys.
1t has long been moot question as
to which Burger, but he will be re-
called as the star comedian of the
Vickery and Hill Publishing plant.
who has made his mark in former
Legion shows and in the Headquar-
tiers Company Revues. 1t is being re-
ported that Charles has but recently
finished reading Faucets Winter
Annual' and Is chock full Of ideas
that will be material for redhot
jokes at City Hall on January 26.
When it comes to foot work, this end
man had his early training inside and
out of the sawdust ring under the
big top, and he will present few
in the Legion Minstrels that will
keep eyes popping to follow.

broken up. The competition between
the coal mines and other fuel indus
tries would also react for the benefit
of the consumer.
In anticipation Of their opponents
suggestion that substitutes could be
used, they declared that substitutes
are costly, unhealthful or wastefuL
The Brunswick team maintained
that government ownership is not
wanted because the government is
not capable of conducting a business
enterprise of this kind successfully.
In this connection they cited govern
ment control Of the railroads during
the period of the war and Immediate
ly afterward. They said that substi-
tutes could and would be used. They
also declared that government own
ership of the mines would mean that
the miners votes would, be controlled
by the politicians. They proposed a
system OF government control of the
mines such as the Interstate Conn
merce Commission has over the rail-
roads as a remedy Of existing condi-
tions.
In rebuttal the Cony speakers
claimed that the talk about using oil
as substitute was foolish in as
much as one Of the big Oil companies
uses coal in it's plant. The Bruns-
wick team came back with question
as to what kind of coal they used,
giving the impression that it must be
bituminous coal. The Cony answer
was that they used anthracite COAL
Miss Mary Jackson drew a laugh
when she declared that soft coal was
lazy mans fuel in that it makes but
half as many ashes as anthracite. On
the other hand she stated that it's dis
advantages could plainly be noted by
the neighbors, through it's effect upon
the clothes lines.
