LAKEWOOD NOTES

The opening play at Lakewood
Theatre on Monday evening, June %,
will be the great New York and Chic
ago success THE Brat, recently
played by Cicel Spooner.
The opening dance on May 80, was
the largest in the history of Lake
wood and the new Welch's Orchestra
featuring David Lyon and Mr.. Dou-
cette formerly of Tinker's Orchestra
has already made a great hit For
the remainder of the season dances
will be held every Tuesday and Fri
day night. Prior to the beginning Of
the Theatre season these dances will
be held at $50 p. m.
Band Concerts will be held at Lake
wood every Sunday, the first concert
on Sunday, June %, by the Boys Band
of Madison. This band is larger and
better than ever and made a most
favorable impression in the recent
parade in Skowhegan where they
we're cheered all along the line of
march.
Two new bath houses have been
completed at Lakewood which will
greatly improve the bathing facilities
at this popular resort.
Mr.. and Mrs John B. Hymer of New
York City have recently arrived at
Lakewood occupying their bungalow
in the grove. Skowhegan friends of
Mr.. Hymer will be pleased to learn

After the ball game came the spar
ring bouts. The first bout between
BERN and Dudley kept the crowd
guessing for the first two or three
rounds. but it was soon evident that
Bergin was about done and Dudley out
of kindness was Withholding the de-
Gliding punch. The bout was finally
called draw
The second bout between Sailor
Kelley of Lewiston and Kid Sullivan
of Brunswick was more or less a
farce. Kelley was outclassed and
Sullivan merely played with him. 1t
was evident that the green tights
were unlucky.
The evening was occupied by NOV
ing pic ures and dancing. music be
ing furnished by the Madison Boys
Band.
A praiseworthy feature of the cele-
bration was the splendid cooperation
of the various towns in the County
without which the affair would have
ben unsuccessful. The various COM
mittees are exceedingly grateful for
this hearty support and for the very
handsome floats and decorated auto
mobiles which added so much to the

PROFIT FROM ONE PIG $5o/.

Ample proof that pig clubs pay Is
contained in reports being received
continually by the United States De
partment of Agriculture from cluD
leaders. One report recently received
tells of the success of Tennessee boy
who, in May, 1918, invested $50 in
pure bred gilt, and now figures his
profits at S5S735. She farrowed seven
pigs, part of which the boy sold for
$133. With this money he purchased
a boar of excellent breeding, which he
exhibited at the East Tennessee Dl-
vision Fair, winning the grand cham
pionship of the breed over all exhibits,
He won $S7 in prizes, $45 of it in com
petition with experienced farmers.
His animals are now valued at 500.
This, with the money from sales and
prize winnings, amounts to $745, from
which he deducts $15765 for feed and
care leaving a profit of $5S7.35.

PAscAeouLA's OPPORTUNITY.

The visit on Thursday OF this week
Of the Italian capitalists interested in
the International Shipbuilding Co. and
the official Announcement that the plant
would not only continue operation
but would be greatly enlarged and ex-
tended, removes all doubt as to their
permanency here during long series
OF years. The certainty, also, of their
extensive operations in other lines
connected with marine matters is des-
tined to double our already greatly in
creased population and will place our
city among the foremost ports of the
Gulf
There should be no more hesitation
by this community and it's citizenship
in going forward with all contemplated
improvements and development, civic
or individual. We have already vast
ed two years in doubt and hesitation
Municipal improvement has been hind
cred and embarrassed by Doubling
Thomases." Individual investment has
been timid because of knockers and
civic slackers. No excuse now re-
mains. Opportunity means respon-
sibility If we shall ever awaken to
the advantages thrust upon us, now is
the time.
Our city must be made attractive |
to the visitor, the investor and those |
who cast their lot among us, either as |
laborer or capitalist. We cannot |
build city if those who earn their |
wages here are forced to live in neigh
boring towns where their earnings will |
be spent, which will continue to be
the case unless homes are provided
where they work.
1t will be nothing short of crime
against succeeding generations IF
Pascagoula does not now become
aroused to the God sent opportunities
thrust upon us. A little pep" little
personal sacrifice where community
interest requires, cooperation, unity
of purpose, and the job is done.

There should be enough capital and
pride in the country to continue the
shipbuilding program. The Govern
ment has stimulated activity in the
construction of merchant ships and
the result has been much prosperity
for the seaports of the South. Inter
national commerce is increasing and
vessels are required to transport raw
material to Europe and Asia, this
should be incentive enough for a solid
shipbuilding program. The American
flag should float over all the seas Of
the world.
