SkoWhegan Team to Oppose Recall OF
Federal Judiciary.

The SkoWhegan-Wateryille High
school Debate to be held in the Opera
House Friday night, will begin at 7.30

tised. A special train bearing the
down river contingent will arrive at
seven, and the change is made to per
nit the visitors to depart in good sea

For more than eight weeks the
Wateryile boys have been hard at
work on the arguments in favor OF
applying the principle of the recall to
the Federal judiciary, while Sherman
Shumway, Tobey Mooers and Carol
Flanders have been studying to up
hold the negative for Skowhcgan. Ad-
ditional interest is given TO this con
test by the fact that the judicial re-
call is one of the big issues in Am

GRANGE COTTAGE
To Be REBUILT
State Grange To Try
To Secure Funds
State Master Stets0n to Send Out
Circular Letter TO Pomona and Sub.
ordinate Oranges.

A movement is being directed by
State Master Charles S. Stetson Of
Greene to secure through the Mdinn
State Grange the rebuilding of the
Grange cottage at Good viii farm,
which was destroyed by fire. Jan. L..
One of the methods employed by
State Master Stetson to obtain funds
for this purpose is by sending out a
circular letter to the Pomona and
Subordinate Oranges which reads as
follows:
Maine State Grange. Office of Master.
Auburn. Jan. %, 1912.
To Pomona and Subordinate Granges
The Grange cottage at Good Will,
directed and maintained by the
Grange has been destroyed by fire.
The girls who have been sheltered
there, are practically without a home.
They are and will be made as comfort
table as possible in other buildings
until the Grange cottage can be re
built. 1t will require at least $500 to
rebuild and furnish this building.
There was $1,000 insurance on the
building which was burned and $500
on contents, leaving at least $4,000 to
be made up by the Pomona and Subor-
dinate Oranges. This cottage which
was built and kept in repair by the
Grange has been home to many poor
girls, girls who have gone forth from
this home to become useful members
of society.
This circular is an appeal for aid
from every Grange to help rebuild the
Grange cottage and thus become a
factor in continuing this noble work
VIII you at this meeting vote to con-
tribute such an amount as you are
able and forward the amount to r.
H. Libby, secretary of State Grange
Auburn, Me He will receipt to you
When You send your contribution be
sure to state that it is for the Grange
cottage fund.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,

The burned cottage WAS built by the
/ Grange and has been kept in repair by
the same organization since 1891.
