tertainments of the year. The regular
meeting was held, business transacted

dren of Eastern Star members, and all re-
flected much credit upon their instructors.
A large American flag was strung across
one end of the room and formed an et-
fective background. Miss Margaret Nc
Leod Pendleton was mistress of cere-
monies and was ably assisted by Mrs. c.
N. Meyers. The entertainment was open
ed by the marching in of the children,
with Valma Weber and Violet Meyers
as leaders. They were all in white and
carried American flags. AS each pair

their places First the entire squad sang

Joint recitation, A Pleasant Punish
ment, and they received large share of
applause. Edith Williams, looking sweet
and dainty, recited bright little poem,
Arabella and Sally Ann, and she came in
for big share of applause. Next, Red,
White and Blue, was sung by the entire
company of little folks, then The Story
of an Apple, by Richard Howard. This
was very cute and applauded. Little

the School House, which was recited by
Isabel Frame, Edith Williams, Marjorie
Towers, Edith Parse, George Littletield,
Billy Goodell, Burton Bailey and Richard
Howard came next and this was well
done. Then came America sung by three
year old Mildred Sawyer, and she was a
great success, showing even with her
baby voice the same musical talent of
her father. Nalma Weber, in her reci-
tation of Y our Flag and My Flag, deserves
more than passing notice and recited
beautifully. Mildred Sawyer then recit-
ed Little Girls, and was very cute in this
Never Let the Old Flag Fall, was sung by
George Littlefield, and his every note
was true and time perfect. He received
great applause. The Flag was then re-
cited by Burton Bailey, and this was very
good also. The program ended with the
singing of The Star Spangled Banner by
the entertainers and the guests as we'll

The national forest reservation COM
mission has recommended additional
purchases in the White mountain area
aggregating 1920 acres. This includes
1867 acres in Grafton county, owned by
the Publishers Paper Company; 1900
acres in Carroll county, owned by the E.
N. Fox Company; SIS acres in Carroll
county, owned by the Forest Products
Company; 1870 acres, owned in Grafton
county by Sawyer & Brazier, and 1903
acres in Oxford county, Me-, owned by
George Hazen. The average valuation
of the proposed purchases is reported as
81. so per acre, and the average price
recommended, Sab.
Previous purchases by the commission
were reported today at 1854, 719 acres, at
an average price of Sc. So per acre.
This addition will make the area of the
reserve about four-fifths as great as that
of Waldo county. Nearly all of this re-
serve is covered with forest which con-
serves and gradually supplies a consider
able portion of the water which flows in
to the Saco river in this State and the
Ammonoosac in New Hamphire. The
head waters of the former are few rods
from the Crawford Notch and the latter
takes its rise about half mile beyond
and flows in an opposite direction from
that taken by the Saco.

SWEEP RAKES FOR EASTERN HAY

Inexpensive Having Tool Will Save Labor,
Expedite Moving Operations and Greatly
Reduce Cost.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25. Eastern
hay growers who are up against the fact
of farm labor shortage can get along with
fewer men and can reduce the cost of
haying by using the sweep rake, say spe-
cialists of the United States Department
of Agriculture in new Farmers Bulle-
tin, No. 1888, Harvesting Hay with a
Sweep Rake. A two-man crew, using
two sweep rakes and four horses, with
the average length of haul in the East,
can in given length of time haul to the
barn and put into the NOW by sings
about double the amount of hay usually
handled by a three-man crew working
with wagon. If the hay is to be stack
ed in the field, three times the amount
can be handled. In this case the third
man will be needed on the stack.
Any boy capable of driving a pair of
horses can operate a sweep rake and
handle considerably more hay in given
time than a man pitching by hand. On
many eastern farms only small amount
Of grass is cut at one time because of the
uncertainty of the weather. Where
sweep rakes are available more hay can
be cut and saved because of the rapidity
with which the hay may be hauled O the
stack or barn.
For farm conditions as found in the
Eastern States the specialists advise the
use of the three wheeled or four-wheeled
sweep rake. How to operate these sim
pie and inexpensive haying tools is ex-
planned in the bulletin.

magnificent work for the government

TO make another shipment of. band
ages. surgical dressings etc, to the

Spurred on by patriotic impulses the
women who compose the membership
of the chapter are tireiess in their ef-
forts TO do their bit" for the flag and
the boys in khaki who will defend 1t

ciety and its humanitarian undertak-
ings. All honor TO the women of Can,

LET IT OUT

In an address before soldiers the
other day the secretary of state after
detailing some of the offenses of the
German government which have
brought us into the war concluded.
But there is more. far more. Some
day hope the whole tale may be
told. 1t win be an astounding tale.
indeed
We hope that official precaution
will not postpone that some day un-
duly. Many official secrets must
wait. of course. but the expediency
OF publishing as much as possible in
illustration of the policies and prac-
tees of our enemy is clearer perhaps
to us who are directly in touch with
public opinion than the men immers-
ed in heavy official work. II is mis-
take to think the necessary war NOR
ale can be built upon Mr., Wilson's
rhetorical generaiities. II is a mis-
take for Washington to assume that
the necessary morale will appear
spontaneously. What is very urgent

gent organization of education some
