of the county towns, of becoming
better acquainted and of doing a
better team work which cannot fail
| to result in great benefits to all con-
cerned. Mr.. Buzzell spoke on gener.
al issues and Mr.. Howard made a
speech which provoked a good deal
of laughter. President Davis told
some of his funny stories which
amused and entertained and the
| music by McKeen's orchestra with
Charles Hammons, tenor soloist, was
a feature of the evening.
The visitors are loud in their
praise of the entertainment afforded
them especially the delicious ban
quet served by the ladies of Monroe.
Not only were the tables laden with
good things to ea., but they were
| handsomely decorated, buttonhole
| bouquets being at each plate and the
! hall itself decorated with autumn

| done to make the affair most enjoy
able to the visitors.
| The Chamber is planning to make

F.! tons.
Friends Of Mrs. Albert D. Morey
will be sorry. to hear that she had
the misfortune to fall and fracture
her left wrist, Tuesday. a few hours
| before she was to take the steamer
! for Boston where she was to pass
! several weeks with friends.
At the High school on Tuesday
| Mrs. S. A. Parker. teacher of English
gave a talk to the girls on social
! questions and department and n
| similar talk was given to the boys by
Principal Harry A. Foster. Wednes-
| day morning a meeting of the Stu
dent Council was held, the object
being to instill a little enthusia SIN
into the student body in regard to
the athletic sports of the school.
President Kermit Nickerson made
some very pertinent remarks and
called upon Capt. Tolford Durham OF
/ the football squad and Manager
Hoffses who olso spoke as did Har-
| old Staples who plays left halfback.
Cheer leader. Ermo Scott put some
! little pep into the gathering with the
school cheers and at recess ST.
worth of tags were sold, the proceeds
going to the council AS a result of
tho meeting there was a large at
| tendance at the glme in the after
noon and Belfast defeated the
Catholic High Of Orono p to 6,
after being defeated week ago in
Orono by the same team, u to I.
Moral: A little enthusiasm and team
work goes a Ions way.
The place or the banquet for the
Hare and Hounds hunt on Saturday
given by the 3. II. S. is kept a pro-
found secret and will not be divulged
until the leaders show the way to the
place thereof.
It seems to be the opinion of a
number OF Belfast people that the city
needs some sort of Community or
City Club for men and women men,
bers, where lunchcons, dinners. card
parties or dances can be held by
members. as is done at the Country
Club in the summer time. The sea-
