Ranjos, southern moonlight and
Old songs bring to mind pictures OF
happy groups of colored folks
gathered on the levee and filling
the warm air with their melodies.
"Down in Dear Old New Orleans"
particularly has always given rise to
gome such mental picture.
But 1t was in that same southern
city that members of the Newcomb
College Mandolin Club gathered on
and around a REQ Bus to make
music of their own. and they form
cd group fully as picturesque as
any the levees have ever known.
Dixie has always been justly
proud of its beautiful girls, and
when group of these girls were
woven into picture with the at
tractive REQ Bus against a back
ground of palmettos the resulting
photograph could not be other than
beautiful.

Mr.. Haugen defended his bill, and

Flood Threat Is
Less Serious in
Adirondack Region

Albany, N. Y, April 26-(P)-With
Adirondack streams either near their
food peaks or slowly receding, resi-
dents of northeastern New York
breathed easier tonight. The Black
river tonight lad reached its peak
and the Saranac river became slug
gish.
WATERFOWL suffered it's greatest
loss from the flood through the shut
ting down of factories getting their
power from the Black river. Trolley
service there. interrupted during the
morning, was resumed later in the
day. Water passing over a dam fur
nishing energy to several mills in the
city, was between nine and ten feet
above normal.
The indian, OsWegatchie and other
small streams draining the north
western slopes of the mountains were
all at flood stage and several mills
were forced to curtail operations.
Despite the slight drop in tempera-
ture and lack of sunshine, the Sara
nae increased in volume enough to
overflow the highway between Sara
nae Lake and Bloomingdale and sew
eral other points on the road to
Pittsburgh. Some families living on
valley farms are reported to have
been driven from their homes by the
rising water.

Second Public
Recital Proves
ENJOYABLE Affair

Abbot Smith, organist, and Miss
Marguerite Porter, coloratura So
prano. delighted large number of
people at the First Baptist church
last evening at the second public
recital on the new Purinton memo
rial organ. Many in the audience
heard the deep volume and wonder
full tone of the organ for the first
time and the impressions they gain
ed will be long remembered.
Mr.. Smiths selections were of d.
vers types and he was enabled to
demonstrate to the fullest extent fin
ished ability and keen appreciation.
At the conclusion of each of his
numbers he was vociferously ap-
plauded. Mr.. Smith opened the re-
cital with Tschaikowsky's "Marche
Slave" which was highly appreciat-
ed, as was the St. Lawrence suite
by Russell.
Miss Porter brought to the city
a pleasing personality and a voice
of much power and beauty. The
concluding selection of the evening,
the intermezzo, AVE Maria" from
Mascagni's "Cavaliera Rusticana,' y
which she sang to Mr.. Smiths or
gan accompaniment, was feature
or the evening.
The interest of the recital was
considerably enhanced by the brief
descriptions which the organist gave
of his numbers before he played
them. To close the entertainment
the regular choir of the church held
a rehearsal. in which Miss Porter
participated. Refreshments were
served in. the church parlors.

no higher than what might reasonably
be expected. The bidders were promi-
nent citizens and for the most part
we'll equipped to do the work. After
lengthy discussion the committee ad-
journed without taking any action to
meet again this week.
1.-THE members of the committee to
a man were unanimous in their desire
to do what is best for the city. They
appreciate the fact that the collection
Of refuse Is a desirable thing to do
If 1t can be done in justice to all other
important demands made upon the
city. They were unanimously of the
opinion that if the contract is ever
awarded certain definite rules and
regulations must be adopted to pre-
vent Disagreement Of the city's streets
on the days when the refuse is col
lected The committee adjourned it's
session because 1t could not reach the
conclusion that 1t was the part of
wisdom to pledge the city to large
annual expense that might be saved to
the city without serious Inconvenience
to anyone.
"Citizens who may be DESTROYS that
a city-wide collection of refuse shall
be made. whether by contract or by the
city itself, should keep in mind one
highly important fact, namely. that
an annual expenditure Of approximate
ly $4,000 means for every taxpayer the
addition Of ] mill to his tax, and the
committee of the city government to
whom this order has been referred for
action hesitate to add this extra bur-
den to the load which the taxpayer al
ready carries.
1.-The committee will doubtless ar
rive at some final settlement Of the
matter at its adjourned meeting. If a
contract is awarded, full details as to
the time of collection. description Of
receptacle to be used. etc, will be an
nounced. If the contract is not
awarded, further collection of refuse
will be confined to such sections of
the city as need Of protection from
fires warrant. It is not likely that the
present method of collection by the
city itself will be continued"

gin to 1iquidate her war debt to
Great Britain this year. the initial
payment being 100000 pounds ster-
ling. She may pay more than that,
for the French finance minister. M.
Peret. gave assurances that without
prejudice to the forthcoming nego-
tiations in London, his government
undertook this as a minimum pay
ment without conditions.
Despite the disappointing aspects
of national finance shown by the ex-
IRENE difficulty of reducing the ex-
penditures below the 800,000.000
pounds sterling level and the fact
that reduced consumption of spirits
was having a detrimental effect on
the governments revenue, it was in
many respects a hopeful tale the
chancellor had to tell Of the nations
financial position.
Trade was slowly improving and
the nation was richer than a year
ago and the consuming power Of the
people was being maintained al
though, owing to high taxation. it
was not increasing as rapidly as
could be desired. While large profits
had been made In rubber and tin,
the country's basic industries en-
ploying the largest number OF peo-
pie were still depressed.
The chancellor noted as a great
feat that the country during the past
six years had cut it's floating debt In
half, the debt in that period having
been reduced to 7O0.000,000 pounds
sterling.
With reference to the coal dispute
and it's effect on the country's fin
ances. Mr.. Churchill declared that If
a paralysis of industry overwhelmed
the country through a coal strike he
would be obliged to propose substah-
tial increases in taxation, both direct
and indirect.
Coming to the details Of his plans,
a large part Of his statement turned
on the betting tax. on which his gov
eminent is likely to meet very strong
criticism. Justifying adoption of the
tax. he contended in advance of OBJ
jections that it was recognition of
betting, that the country had already
benefited by this so-called vice, IN
asmuch as it imposed an income tax
and a super-tax on bookmakers. On
the general question of the legality
of betting and whether it ought to be
taxed, he remarked: Il am not look
ing for trouble-I am looking for
revenue"
The tax, he explained, would only
be applied to legal forms of betting.
which he had been informed covered
nine-tenths of the money staked.

THE price you pay for substitutes
i is the same as for the genuine
Quaker Oats. The difference is m
the favor. And favor, above all
things, Is important in oats.
That rich and toasty Quaker favor
is the result of some 50 years milling
experience. Once you taste it, you are
spoiled for ordinary oats. e
That Is why millions demand the
Quaker brand-why you should ac-
cept no other.
Quaker milling, too, retains much OF

laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and
"bulk' are thus combined to make
Quaker Oats an excellently "bal-

Bids Reasonable
For Collection of
Garbage, Waterville

Speaking for the joint committee on
finance in reference to the matter of
bids for the collection of refuse in
the city, Mayor Herbert c. Libby has
the following to say:
AT the last meeting of the city
government an order was passed au-
thorizing the joint committee on fl
nance to ask for bids for the collec-
ton of refuse throughout the city, to
award the contract for this work pro-
vided the committee found that it was
not going to cost the city too much, or
to reject the bids and to order curtail-
rnent Of the work involved in the col
lection Of refuse If the committee so
decided.
I'm accordance with this order call
for bids was published. and on Fri
day night, last, the committee met to
open the bids and to disfuss fully the
whole matter. The si4Sbids received
fulfilled the provisions of the call.
The figures submitted were possibly
