CALLIOPEAN BANQUET AT
KENT'S HILL SEMINARY

Kent's Hill, Me-. April 2s.-The Callio-
pean banquet this year was an unusu-
ally brilliant and gratifying affair with
plenty of good speaking talent on the
card. The moving spirit Of the affair
was Forrest Richardson. former Cal
liopean president, who planned the de-
tails and worked hard for the success
of the event. Prof. G. c. Clarke, vice
principal and head of the mathematics
department, was the POSTMASTER Of the
evening and carried off the program
with rare skill and in a jovial manner.
All members of the faculty were invit-
ed as guests.
As the guests marched to the banquet
hall Miss Gaskins Of the conservatory
department played a piano solo in stir
ring rhythm, which was followed by the
society. Prayer was offered by the Cal
iiopean chaplain. The banquet was then
enjoyed and too much credit cannot be
given for the excellent repast spread
before the company. Forrest Richard
son then introduced Acting Principal
Clarke as toastmaster. Mr.. Clarke out
fined the purposes of the get-together
and struck the keynote in emphasizing
Cooperation" as the central theme of
the speeches and the thought that the
society is greatest that contributes the
most to the larger welfare of the school,
and showed wherein Calliopea in her
long career had without question con-
tributed repeatedly to the honor and
glory of kents Hill. for this society
was founded in 1899 and its history runs
parallel with that of the school. Fol-
lowing this speech came a violin Sc
lection by Miss Allen.
The following responded to toasts:
Fred Severance of Kennebunkporr.
president Of the Calliopean Society;
Margaret Fogg of Readheld, president
of the Adelphian Society; Fred Iveney
of Northeast Harbor, Philip Arnold,
hero of the World War. now of Port
land, Maine: Douglass Thompson Of
Waldoboro, and Forrest Richardson of
Bar Harbor who reviewed the lives of
former Calliopeans he had known, and
several imprcmptu speakers. Among
the latter were Coach Roundy, Miss
Frances Davis. and Principal Newton.
At intervals bstween the speeches there
was a piano solo by Miss Gaskin and q
vocal solo by Mrs. Parker of the con-
servatory department.

Ida Taylor Hersom is moving into

will move from Silver street to the

changes will be held back until GER

QUESTIONS BEING ASKED
OF RETAIL CLOTHIERS

While the rumor in regard to a
federal inspector being in the city
examining into the prices charged
for mems and women's clothing has
not been fully verified, it is known
that a we'll dressed stranger has ap-
peared in several of the stores in
town, who deal in mems wear, and
has asked many questions in regard
to stock on hand which are not COM
monty asked relative to clothing
when one wants to make a purchase.
The dealers seem to be of one opin-
ion and that is that there is no pro-
fiteering in the city in clothing. They
all concede that the trobule is not
with the retail dealer. but with the
manufacturer, whose profits, it is
asserted, reach into two and three
hundred percent
