At the regular meeting of Skowhe-
gan Grange last evening the Master
called attention to the fact that the
installation of officers would take
p lace on the 29th. The newly elected
State Master, @. s. Stetson, is to be
the installing officer. He will offici-
ate in like capacity at meeting OF
Canaan Grange, specially called for
the purpose of installation, on the
evening before the 2sth and will
come here directly from that town.
This is notable event for Skowhe-
gan Grange for it will be the first
visit of state master for many years
and it is desired that full appreciation
of his presence be shown.
Announcement was made that Past

This company began operation in
1884 and has been gaining steadily
each year. The report of the agent
for the year 1907 shows the largest
amount of business in the history of
the company, the total receipts being
S69, 1856.
A few items showing the amount of
business transacted during the past
year may be of interest. The sum of
S4,889 was paid for collecting and
hauling cream; 1912 was received
from the sale of SKINNED milk, and
the sale of sweet cream in Skowhe
gan alone was not far from 5000 pei
month, $4,000 for the year. or the
total receipts from all sources for the
year, $69,395,S6 as above reported,
about $4,000 was from the sale of
sweet cream, this including the local
sales and shipments to Massachu
sets and elsewhere.

Brotherhood of St. Paul.

The semi-monthly meeting of the
Brotherhood of st. Paul was held in
the vestry of the Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal Church on Monday
evening, Mr.. Harry Dinsmore in the
chair. The usual business was trans
acted at which two new members
were voted upon and accepted.
After the regular business session
Mr.. Lewis Anderson was introduced
as the leader of the debate on ''tRe-
solved that prohibition is the best
method of handling the liquor traffic"
The speaker began by saying that of
course both sides believed in the COM
plete repression of this social evil and
consequently the debate would re-
volve around The question of methods
in securing this end, 80 as TO destroy
the evil and not foster the same.
The speaker referred to the various
license systems that had been tried
and showed by statistics that the re-
suits were undesirable. Referring to
the prohibitory law the speaker said
that often arguments were advanced
stating that the law was so frequently
broken that it was often considered
useless and should be repealed. He
said that the same arguments could
be used against all laws that were
broken, that the same could be said
against Christianity the highest and
best of all laws. Many maintain, said
l1- II hot Oh, .
income from a license system that
would help defray the expenses of
municipal government. The figures
of Carroll d. Wright, the eminent
statistician were referred to, these
figures showed that for every dollar
received in revenue as license that
twenty -one went out to maintain
police jails and paupers and suppress
crime etc.
Dr. Boothby opened his argument
by stating that while prohibition was
good law in some respects yet 1T
was imperative SO far as the upper
classes were concerned. These peo-
pie could have liquors supplied by
their clubs and also in their homes
where it could be used at liberty
While he deplored the cravings that
existed in many for such stimulants
yet we must recognize the existence
of an appetite. The poorer classes
seem to require something and it was
lamentable to see men pour down
their throats the vile decoctions OF
wood alcohol and vitriotic poisons
that Inscriptions dealers sent to our
state. Statistics were quoted in
which it was shown that in Bangor
under rigid enforcement Of the law
that more drunkenness was observ-
able on the streets and that for Civ
en- period the police records showed
14O more arrests.
An opportunity was given for others
to express their opinions and 3. N
Merrill, Esq, arose and made spirit
ed address stating that every man be =
lieved in prohibition that fully under
stood the power and provisions of the
law in operation. Among other
things the speaker said: Let every
Judge in our Supreme Bench take the
stand that Judge Cornish has taken
in our court and in twelve months
liquor sellers will be driven from our
state.
DR.. Leitch spoke for few moments
on the matter of educating our youths
on the evil effects of alcohol upon the
system. The debate was 80 interest
ing and time limited it was voted to
continue it at some subsequent meet
ing.
