1.-The ides of March are come"
.'Ay. Caesar; but not gone!"
Thus spake the Waterville Rotary
Club by way Of invitation. and thus re-
.ponded the Augusta club by way Of in
timation.
In other words, there's to be some
thing doing in waterville tonight. end
ing, perchance. with an "et tu. Brute!-
hut do it some more!" :.
The two electric cars starting from
the waiting room at 4.30 this afternoon
will be loaded to the limit (the cars)
with bands. and Rotarians. en- route fer
a real time as the guests of the Water
VILE Rotary Club. There will be that
same delightful mixture of sense and
of nonsense. of light hearted fun and
Of fine communit~ spirit. which is char
acteristic cf Rotary at it's best. The
inspiration of such a meeting Of live
business men Of the two cities should
be sufficiently alluring to ensure a rep
resentation of which Waterville will be
glad and Augusta will be proud.
Remember the day, the hour and the
car.
