The Nations annual holiday will
be observed in Skowhegan this year
by afternoon sport only at Farview
Park which will consist of two good
races and an exciting ball game between
the Athletics of Lewiston and the
Skowhegans. There will be plenty of
inspiring band music, while an oppor-
tunity will be afforded to all who care
to indulge, to dance, for which good
music will be in attendance.
At Lakewood there promises to be
entertainment varied enough to please
any and all. From early morning until
late at night the steamer will be In COM

cert from 6 to O'Clock, fireworks at
dark, the day closing with a grand ball
after the theatrical performance. Tickets
over the electric road admit to all but
the ball. You can carry your lunch or
dine like prince on the grounds for a
small amount.
At The Pines the cry goes out from
Manager Cass of pleasure galore for
all kinds of people," chief of which will
be continuous dance throughout the
afternoon and a grand ball at night,
sandwiched in between which will be a
mammoth display of fireworks. The
cafe will afford all who do not carry
lunches ample opportunity to satisfy
their hunger or thirst
The day at Lake George promises the
quiet retreat, and to those seeking such
it can but prove haven of rest, un-
broken only at night when grand ball
will be given for which music will be
furnished by Lees orchestra.

The Day We Celebrate.

Tomorrow is the "Glorious Four thu,
the anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence by representatives of the
IL colonies, that, after independence was
achieved, became the United States OF
America, the greatest nation upon the
face Of the earth.
J his day is devoted to demonstrations,
mostly of the noisy kind In which ny Dung
America" delights. In former years
there were patriotic speeches, reading of
the Declaration Of Independence, parades,
etc., but these have largely subsidized for
the time being, and the booming of
cannon, the rattle of fire crackers, the
display Of fireworks, with races, games
and sports take their places.
This order of exercises may not be so
desirable to many people of mature
years as was the former method of cele-
brating the day, but it is the accepted
program, and apparently, has come to
stay.
The observance of Memorial Day may
have had something to do with the drop
ping out of the oratorica and other In
tellectual features of celebrations of Iu-
dependence Day in former years. We
believe our people are no less
patriotic than they were when the cele-
bration took other forms of demonstra-
ton. Our people love their country and
are proud of 1t.
Long may the flag of Our Country,
the emblem of Freedom and Indepen-
dence, wave,
"Oer the Land of the Free
And the Home OF the Brave
