The Mt. Pleasant Free-Pregs and

Elder as one of unusual purity. using
this as an argument TO get votes for
the mayor for congress. This is a
subject that, could well be eliminated
to the advantage Of Mayor Elder. for
developments do not bear out the
statements made by those organs sup
porting his candidacy. With the

Festival for the
School Children.

Plans We're started, Friday. at a
meeting of the principals of the Wa
terville schools for festival by the
school children, some time during the
early part of May. AS yet the plans
are only being talked of but everyone
of the teachers present at the meet
ing. Friday, We're enthusiastic and the
success of the affair already seems
assured. There were TWO plans con-
sidered at the meeting. First. to have
the festival given by the children of
the Wateryilie schools only, with Sc
leetions by an orchestra composed of
pupils. The other plan was to include
the pupils of the schools in Winslow
and Oakland. But it viii be necessary
TO obtain the consent OF the superin-
tendents of the schools of those places
but from reports already received the
consent seems certain. The affair will
be in charge of Miss Mildred Stock
bridge ard she will have the support
of the teachers of the school From
now ON plans will be started and re-
hearsals for the music will begin
within a short time.
