A HAPPY GATHERING AT
BLETHEN HALL, kENTS HILL.

Kents Hill, Maine, March 10.-(Spe-
iaD.-Blethen Hall, the home of
Principal and Mrs. j.. Orville Newton
was opened to the senior class and
members of the faculty on Monday
evening, March Q. The guests were
greeted informally by Professor and
Mrs. Newton, after which the evening
was spent in contests of various kinds
all touching on authors. Puzzles on
authors names, served to arrange the
party into five groups. Afterward, the
guests were given programs printed
in the class colors purple and gold, on
which to write their answers to the
contests.
The contest which afforded the most
amusement was the "Who is Who"
corner. Here the class found pictures
of very stylishly attired ladies and
gentlemen whose identity they were
asked to guess. On scrutinizing the
faces, they proved to be none other
than members of the class of 1914.
A reading by Miss Daisy N. Stevens,
teacher of oratory, was greatly en-
joyed. She gave an arrangement from
the Prisoner of Zenda.
While a part of the guests were
shown to the dining room, the rest
were entertained with charades rep
resenting well known books. These
were in charge of Mrs. B. V. Smith
and Miss Stevens. Buffet refreshments
were served consisting of pineapple
salad, sandwiches, ladyfngers, maca-
rooms and coffee. The dining room was
in charge Of Mrs. Z. J. Macdonald
While refreshments were being serv-
ed, the programs were collected and
looked over by judges who awarded
the prize to Mr.. Edwin F. Morse of
Sank Center. Mimi. .as the ore who
had written the GREATEST number of
correct answers. TIC prize was a
copy Of Kiplng's poem, 'If," very
prettily framed in mahogany. Much In
terest was shown when the correct
answers to the contests were read by
Mrs, Newton. The party broke up at
a late hour after giving three cheers
for Professor and Mrs. Newton.

Silver Lake Grange.

Silver Lake Grange held its regu-
lar meeting at Grange hall, China,
Wednesday evening, March 4. Grange
was called to order by Worthy Master
A. H. Pinkham at 7.30. AS soon as the
routine business Of the evening had
been disposed of. State deputy d. B.
Foster of Riverside was called to the
chair and conferred the Third and
Fourth degrees on a class OF IL in
a manner that was both pleasing and
instructive. At the close of the degree
work all sat down to bountiful feast.
Supper being over the worthy master
placed the meeting in charge of the
lecturer. Owing to the lateness of the
hour the program was shortened, con-
sisting of singing by the choir; piano
solo, Myrtle Getehell; vocal solo, Ethel
Fish.
Brother Foster was then called on for
a few remarks and responded in his
usual genial manner. In the course of
his remarks he expressed his regret
that not only Silver Lake Grange but
also quite few other Oranges in Ken
nebec county failed to respond to the
invitation sent out recently by the
augusta pOdIQ Vi lIddS " tAe
Oranges in Kennebec county asking
them to send delegate to banquet
given by them. Brother Foster spoke
of the good he expected to see come
from this meeting of the farmers and
the Augusta business men and deeply
deplored the fact that the farmers
were not more interested in meeting
and getting better acquainted with
the business men of the cities. Bro
Their Foster also said that he hoped
that in the near future the Oranges
would return the compliment and ar
range to have the Augusta Board Of
Trade as their guests. Attendance, 80;
we're gaining but keep coming.
At the next meeting. March II, we
expect to have Mrs. Kate Ellis give
her illustrated lecture on Home San
itation."

MAKING COTTON SELL

A group of young women IN Wash
ingtcn are undertaking to make cot
ton fabrics popular, so that they will
take the place of imported ones and
thus better the market for the great
American staple.
Their efforts, directed right at the
business Of getting American women
to wear cotton because America
needs to make market for its cot
ton crop, are well enough; they may
even help some. Bu. not much.
The way to sell more cotton to
Ame rican women, especially the way
to make American women wear co.,
tor instead of silks, is 20 make them
WANT cotton fabrics.
Make them fashionable. Don't ap-
peal to woman's patriotism in such
cause; it may win with few of
them; but the fact remains that
the thing they follow is fashion, not
patriotic impulse.
A number Of years ago leather be-
gan to get scarcer and dearer. New
England shoe manufacturers expert
mented with cloth uppers and var
ious substitutes for feathers; canvas
shoes were brought out for sumrler.
But they didn't explain that they
were doing all this because leather
was costly. They dill the trick in
such manner as to make it fashion
able. If they had advertised that
they were forcing cheaper sub
stitute into use in place of leather,
the people who could afford what
they plea sed would at once have in
sisted on leather; 10 cheap and nasty
substitutes for them. These people
set the fashions; they must be made
to adopt cotton fabrics, just as they
were led 20 feel an interest in cloth
uppers. by making them think this
is the really new and swagger thing.
Turn out some new and attractive
fabrics in cottons. and then, above
all else, don't make the mistake of
selling them cheap. Raise the price
high enough to get the swagger ele-
ment to buy in the belief that it's
getting the most expensive thing
there is. After that, The goods being
introduced and made fashionable,
The prices may be tempered to the

cumstances should appeal be made to

CONFEDERATE GRAY.

The greenish-gray uniform Of the
German soldier, which makes the
Kaiser's troops almost invisible,
whether in woods, field, or roads, is
very similar to the color worn by the
Confederate soldier in the civil war.
At first the Confederate uniforms
we're a blush gray-a color now
known as cadet gray. However tn .
fortunes of war soon placed such
cloth at a premium in the Southern
States. Uniforms, in many cases,
were made at home. They were COL
ored with homemade dye obtained
from butternuts. The butternut gray
was a neutral gray with a greenish
tnge. 1t dehed detection at great
distance. There are many alive to-
cay who can testify to the ease with
which Johnnie Reb appeared from
the landscape or dissolved into it.
The butternut color soon became
popular with the Southern COM
manders, who realized its advantages
ir aiding concealment. In the latter
part Of the war almost all of the
manufactured uniforms were dyed
with butternuts.
In the last few years military
leaders all over the world have
given more thought 70 color selection
than ever before. The adoption of
khaki uniforms, about the time. of
the South African war, was the first
important step toward protective
coloration. A uniform that tends to
conceal the movements of troops
ranks next tc smokeless powder in
military strategy. Even the guns of
the artillery, the CUR carriages. and
the supply wagons of today are coat
ed with gray. The war chiefs are

on the enemy's guns" fast is becon-
ing an obsolete war term.
Striking uniforms-such as those
worn By the French Zouaves-are
impressive and often have their
moral effect in battle. A battalion
Of Zouaves charging across field
with their =ed boomers may well
look like a thousand red devils to the
soldier in the trench facing their
charge, but the grim uncertainty of
foe whose numbers he can only
guess and whose movements are OBJ
scured by protective coloration is a
far greater battle force.

BASEBALL REFORMS

The baseball season draws to its
close with general agreement that it
has been a bad business year, and
that something must be done for the
game or it will enter its decadence.
Just one word is needed TO ex-
plain the troubles of the national
game: commercialization. But hov
to get the game out IF the doldrums
is harder; it takes a good many
words.
1t is we'll enough 20 talk of COM
mercializing the game; but who
would attend the sessions of amateur
clubs? Public taste and expertness
demand the finished product that
only highly specialized profess
sionals can provide. 1t is certain
that the game will continue profes-
sional and commercial; the question
is how to rid it of disadvantageous
results of the commercialism.
Frank Chance, in one of his sport
ing letters makes one suggestion
that ought to be considered seriously
