Field Day Exercises will Be
The Very Best Ever Held.
Ceremonial Session at City Nall,
In Evenlng..Many Candidates.

lWend their way, and in whose street
the footprints of sandalled feet, ere tn
sun has reached the meridian, will b
as many as the sands of the sea- An
1.-THE monday air will vibrate with tn
sounds of many voices, as of the hur
of bees as they gather honey from tn
flower petals,
And should you ask the reason TO
all this-why this gathering of mel
from all over Maine-the answer j
this: Illustrious Potentate Manning
, Campbell has sent forth his mandate
for the mobiles to assemble for the an
nual field day and Ceremonial Session
to buckle on their Moslem armor ant
come forth for the fray, leading SOM
poor son of the desert to the doors o.
the temple, that he may partake of thu
waters of life and the refreshing fruits
lof the oasis of Augusta, and the no.
bles, reading these words, are boune
Ito obey, lest they lose one of the times
of their lives. 1t is probable that fully
500 will respond to the CALL and thai
There will also be with them goodly
band of unregenerates for the sacrifice
The program for the days festivities
has already been given, but, lest we
forget" it may be well to state that
the caravan will assemble in Augusta
during the noon hour when it will be
| greeted by the local contingent i'll SUI
ficient numbers to prevent any of the
visitors from straying about the city
streets and perchance becoming lost.
Masonic Temple will be the headquar-
tiers during the day, and can be easily
found upon inquiry.
After the last stragglers have ar
rived, on the train from the East which
leaves Augusta at 12.4S, the caravan
will be massed in Market square, that
each and every one of the members
there assembled may gaze into the
upquavering eye of camera, for
group photograph. That ordeal passed,
electric cars will be in waiting to con-
vey the mobiles to Island Park. where,
at 1.3o, Illustrious Noble c. F. Names
will serve one of his famous clam
bakes.
Following the feast the balance OF
the afternoon will he devoted to such
sports as the inclinations of those
present lead them to indulge and the
nature of their surroundings will al
low, and which, it is unnecessary to-
state, will constitute one of the largest
of all the large sized good times-and
then some.
And after all these things have tran
spired-after the mobiles. who went
forth into the groves to pick violets
have picked their FILL and those who
went boating have returned to shore,
and also. those who went fishing have
wound up their lines and have evolved
in their minds a story to tell, later, of
the fish that they almost caught but
lost at the last moment-as the sun
seeks the western hills. the caravan
will take tie trolley line back to Au-
gusta. arriving in season to partake
of lunch at the Augusta House.
All about 7.3o in the evening the mobiles
will once more seek the open air, and
a short parade will be made TO City
hail. with red gre accompaniment. This
will be followed at s o'clock by a grand
ceremonial session, during which the
candidates will be introduced to the
mysteries of the order, and will be
shown every possible attention-per
haps more than they really crave. For
the encouragement and guidance of the
uunreeenerate sons of the desert, and
that their journey across the hot sands
may be made more easy-perhaps-the
illustrious potentate has issued the
following suggestions:
Look pleasant, even if you don't feel
SO. Keep your temper, no one else has
ANY use fer it,
AS to what you are going to do-the
less you tell your friends the better
You'll do nothing of the kind anyway,
and you'll find they're no friends of
yours.
Don't take 1t too serously-every
body else thinks it joke.
Don't talk to your gude-he's busy
|seeing you get all you paid for.
There are worse thongs than crossing
the sands. but not many.
Don't get funny-the potentate is
elected for that purpose-you furnish
the material and he will do the rest.
It costs a lot to live these days.
More than ii did in yore.
| But when you stop to think of ii,
It's worth whole lot more.
