ROtarians Hear Two
Fine Addresses at
Regular Meeting

The regular meeting of the Water
vile Rotary club was held at the
ElmWood hotel, Friday evening. and
after the usual supper menu was en-
joyed, President Leon 0. Tebbetts
called to order, and those present
listened to two addresses, one by A.
/. H. Cummings of Orono, agricul-
tural editor of the University OF
Maine, and the other was Hon.
Frank Redington Of this city.
Mr.. Redington was the first speak
er. He spoke on the characteristics
of Rotarians and began by saying
that there is an old saying, Honesty
is the best policy" but he said that
the policy should not enter into the
creed of rotarians, for they should
be inherently honest without stop
ping TO consider policy. One of the
notices of Rotary is Service before
SELF but this is not literally true. If
the members of Rotary have not
looked out in some degree for self
in past days. they would not he here
ana would not be fit TO be Rotarlans.
They should be interested in avoid
ing not self but selfishness. He said
that the Rotary wheel is the emblem
of Rotary. the six Spokcs denoting
strength. and the IS cogs of gears
denoting power, and through
strength and power the Rotarian
concentrates the very essence Of to-
tary from a common center which
gives Rotarians strength. power and
opportunity.
Mr. Cummings began by referring
to the kindly feeling between L. OF
NJ. and Colby college SAYING that last
year President Roberts of Colby had
given the commencement at the L.
OF NJ. ana the University had con-
fCrrcd upon him the degree of Doc
tor of Laws. He said that brother
and two sisters of his had graduated
from Colby, the brother being Rev.
John T.. Cummings, a missionary in
Burmah. He referred also to the
fact that Colonel Frederic Boothby,
who was sitting at the head tabs
with him. was mayor of Portland
when he was city clerk and spoke Of
the kindly feelings he held toward
Colonel Boothby.
Mr.. Cummings then gave several
selections from his wide repertoire OF
French dialct poems. He prcfaccd
these with Il history of Erench-Cana-
dian dialect ana gave some facts con-
corning Or. William Henry Drum
mond, the pioneer writer of French
dialect verse. Ey request or Or.
Achilles Jolly. Mr. Cummings read
THE Habitant" which is considered
a masterpiece. Then came the fam
GUS "Lcctlc Batecse" which he fol
lowed with number Of interesting
stories along the same line. Mr..
Cummings has written a number "l
dialect poems of his own, but fotar-
ian law is memorable in regard 20 ne
