the sole contestants were Hamlet and
Donald Philbrick. A prize of 81 had
been offered for the winner in this con-
test and finally Mr.. Hamlet who was
the winner for the Sophomore class
in the first contest came off victorious
by spelling the word restaurant

MEETING or SOMERSET
BAR ASSOCIATION
Was Held Tuesday-T. B. Barrett,
Chairman-ActiOn Taken Against
Recall of Judges.

The Somerset County Bar Associa-
ton held it's annual meeting in the
Law Library at the Court House Tues
day afternoon. AS is the custom to
have the oldest member of the Asso-
citation present presiding officer,
Timothy B. Barrett, formerly of
Canaan now of Skowhegan, was un-
aai;3aoas!y chosen to preside at the
meeting. Mr.. Barrett has been a
member of the Somerset County Bar
since 1861 when he began the prac-
tice of law. He made interesting re-
marks and following this the clerk,
w T. Seekins, read a letter from
Isaac Dyer of Portland a member of
the committee of the American Bar
association, in which the writer asked
this Association to take some action
against the recall of judges A warm
discussion followed. Hon. S. J. Wal
ton spoke strongly against it and
other discussions were given by E. N.
Merrill, L. L. Walton, f. F. Merrill,
George w Cover. Their ideas were
that judges should be appointed by
the Governor, that the recall would
strike at the fundamental principles
of our government and that statutes
should be enacted to alter actions of
judges rather than the recall. The
only member of the association who
was in favor of recall was F. L. Ames
of NorridgeWock. 1t was voted, how
ever, that the association should adopt
resolutions opposing the recall and a
committee consisting of Judge Angus
tine Simmons Of North Anson, c. o.
Small of Madison and NJ. P. Merrill of
Skowhegan to draw up resolutions to
this effect
The matter of having new schedule
of fees was suggested by Hon. l.. l..
Walton and a committee consisting of
George w. Cover, E. F. Merrill, Judge
F. F. Lawrence was appointed to pre-
sent a schedule of fees for the ap-
proval of the association to be pre-
scented at meeting to be called by
the chair. The same committee was
appointed to make plans for the reor-
ganization of the association. At the
close of the meeting the gaVel, an
empty long-necked bottle which was
used by the presiding officer, was pre-
sented to Mr.. Barrett by the Associa-
ton in recognition of their appreca-
ton for his services.

The Purple Widow.

What the Keunebec Journal says
about The Purple Widow which
comes to the Skowhegan Opera house
Wednesday March y, for two nights
Although The Purple Widow" came
here a perfect stranger she found no
difficulty in winning favor last night
at the Coliseum with an audience of
excellent proportions that laughed
from almost the very opening until the
final ringing down of the curtain.
All in all The Purple Widow" is
fully equal to the OFT shows, and made
an excellent impression, which will
undoubtedly serve to tax the capacity
of the Coliseum the two remaining
evenings of the company's stay in
town. Prices Is, 25 and 35 cents and
a few choice seats at soc

Il CIVIC IMPROVEMENT y
WAS SUBJECT
At the meeting of the SkOwhegan WO-
mans Club Held in the Library
ParlOrs, March IS.

In spite of the inclemency of the
weather a goodly number of club wo-
men and guests assembled at the Lii
brary parlors to hold their regular
meeting Mrs Mary Varney and Mrs.
Caroline Estes acting as hostesses.
The subject of the day being Civ
ic Improvement, lent the usual inter
est, that the club women of our town
have always manifested especially in
our schools, as music, drawing, hnde-
garten, manual training, and pure wa
ter each began their existence through
the untiring efforts of these progress
i've women, and Wednesday, March 13,
found them as loyal to the needs of
the young people of our town as in
bygone days.
The exercises opened with reading
and approval of the minutes of the
Two previous meetings and a nomina-
ting committee was appointed, includ
ing Mrs. Anna Merrill, Miss Lizzie
Hussey and Mrs. Eva Greenwood
Mrs. Agnes Steward sang two vocal
solos, ITO You" and Allah" with
Miss Lewis as accompanist. The pres
ident then read a kindly greeting
from Mrs. Emily p Webb of Pasadena,
Cal, and Mrs. Anna Merrill read a
paper entitled Samuel Gridley Howe
written by Mrs. Webb. Mrs. Lola
Blunt also read one from the pen of
Miss Mda Webb, setting forth the no
BILE work and character OF Ben b.
Lindsey of Denver. These papers
were classics and being written by
two former members of our society,
brought to mind the happy attractive
way of treating a serious subject,
that these two writer's possess and
were listened to with close attention.
Music was furnished by Master
Mahlon Gerrish, who proved that pi-
ano playing is not an art for girls
only, but that boy with talent can
entertain ladies to the extent that
they will call for more
The subject to be discussed was
What Can We do for Our Boys and
Girls?" and was opened by Mrs Mar
garrett Goodrich. Mrs. Eva Green
wood spoke for Our Girls, and Mrs.
Agnes Merrill told of the work and
needs of Our Boys y. NJ. c. A. Miss
Dorothy Elliot was asked to tell of
the conditions of our High school and
the urgent need of new building.
Hers was like an appeal of a mother
for her destitute children and struck
home to every mothers heart and
should have been heard by every vo-
ter in town. A committee was chosen
to visit and inspect the conditions of
! the High School building, consisting
of Mrs. Margaret Goodrich Mrs. Liz
zie Marble and Mrs. Alice Wadsworth.
: The closing number included a pi-
ano solo played by Miss Verna Libby,
entitled Venetian Boat Song" and
the president, Mrs. Bucknam empha-
sized the fact of the importance of
the members sending in their ballots
for the officers for the next year.
The next meeting will be held Mar.
81, and will be a "Children's Meeting. "
Each member is privileged to invite
one child.

The first case to come up for trial
was begun Tuesday afternoon and was
that of Joseph Henderson VS.. Elmer
Z. Dore. The story of the case was
that Mr.. Henderson formerly resi-
dent of Jackman in 1910 purchased OF
Mr.. Dore farm situated in Harmony
He did not pay the purchase price
which was $500, but gave some collat-
eral security and took bond for the
deed. He testified to the effect that
when the snow went off he found the
farm was not what the defendant had
described it to be and also that the
spring which he had supposed to be
on that farm was in reality on another
party's property, and he asked to be
released from further payments on the
farm. The suit was brought to recover
the amount paid in and was won by
the plaintiff who was represented by
Walton & Walton. Hon. Forrest Good
win appeared for the defendant.
