gated as aids in all branches of the con-
vention and were allowed to enter the
final race, in which Murray Keene won.

Friday evening was given up to the
social features. Supper was served at
$50 p. m. in the attractive little hall of
Tarratine Tribe of Red Men with the
ladies Of the order catering. 1t was
sight all the mothers and fathers of
Waldo county would have enjoyed. The
tables were laden with an abundance of
tempting food and distributed by willing
walters. The older people present in
cluding the toastmaster very graciously
gave up their places at the table that the
Club members and Scouts might be seat
ed and waited until they had left for the
Opera House, where they were guests of
the management
1t is doubtful if there is another man
in Waldo county so well adapted to
amuse and at the same time give such
sound advice to boys and girls as Mr.. o.
E. Frost of Belfast, who was toastmas
ter on this occasion. He also very aptly
introduced Revs. Arthur E. Wilson, Wal
ter T. Hawthorne, Charles W. Martin,
Mr.. Morris L. Slugg and Prof Mitchell
who spoke briefly and encouragingly to
the boys and girls. Musical numbers
were rendered by the Misses Lillian and
Ethel Dexter on the piano and violin.
Miss Katherine kittredge also recited a
poem.
The Saturday morning session opened
at 9 O'Clock with the singing of America
led by Prof Mitchell with Miss Cathleen
Colcord at the piano

M leader of the Maine Canning Clubs,
gave brief and encouraging talk on
"makine the best better in all their ex-
hibits. She spoke of making a uniform
appearance of jars, ETC., told what and
how to pack, and gave the points on
which the exhibits are scored by the
judges She closed with an appeal for
the boys to enter this branch of the work
and explained that the motto of this
club was the four words-heart, hand,

Miss Ruby |. Barker, Pittsfield, the
government and State of Maine agent in
the food conservation movement, spoke
of her work, what it meant in these
times of war to the homes of all of our

Fred, who won in the pig contest at
Springfield, as she had great sue
Spear of Belfast read her experience in
canning 600 quarts with her sister Jen
ME- Mabel Smith of Belfast read a re-
markably fine story of her gardening the
past season. Then came the boys and
they were not in it for minute with the
girls, but were as fine samples of real
bows as could be culled from thousands.
Allen Colby of Liberty read of raising
sweet corn and James Eastman of Knox
read his pig story A few sentences of the
latter reached the audience as James
face lighted up with smiles at memories
of his experience when his ''pig squealed
louder and louder at the pig that was put
in the pen with his pig, that wasn't a
pig at all but hog"
