adjourn on July 10. the date set by some optimistic
Congressman is strengthened by Senator Kerns talk
of demanding night sessions in order that adjourn
ment may be reached by July IS. With the legisla-
tive program mapped out by the President there is
enough work on hand for an all-summer-long ses-
sion, and the Congressman who expect to be candi-
dates for reelection may consider themselves lucky
if they get away from Washington IN time to par.

cause the wives would probably do their own col
lecting in the same old way.

Hotel to Remain Open for Several

Weeks.
The past season at the Ocean
View has been one of the gayest for
the guests registered here that has
been seen at South Harpswell in
many year. Ever since the arrival
OF the first guests, early in June, Mr..
and Mrs. Lightfoot have spared no
pains to make the gay times here
practically continuous, and success
has attended their efforts as can be
testified by inquiring among any of
the visitors. Parties of every de-
scription have been held here. Deep
sea fishing and sailing parties, tennis,
croquet and all kinds of outdoor
sports have been enjoyed when the
weather was pleasant, while on
rainy days, some informal party in
the hotel parlors was never lacking.
AT night, dancing has been continnIl-
ally inndulged in, so that it can be
seen that merrier season could
hardly have existed.
