R0TAR|ANS TO EUROPE
Tells of Trip Abroad Mt Regular Week
ly Meeting eli Club In
Grand Army Hall

There was another splendid gather
ing at the weekly Rotary Club lunch
con Tuesday in Grand Army hall,
with Mrs Kate S. Simpson catering.
Among the guests present were Geo.
Grover of Lynn, Mass; Judge c. O.
Small of Madison; Carroll N. Perkins
of Waterville; Charles Bond of Au-
gusta; Ellsworth Piper of Jackman;
f. F. Merrill and Walter Wyman of
Skowhegan. The matter of enter
tanning the boys of Skowhegan on a
field day outing was decided favor
ably upon and the same was left in
the hands of the committee on boys
work of which w. H. Hight is chair
man.
w. II. Cummings, local agent of
the American Woolen Co., who has
lately returned from trip abroad
gave an interesting survey of his
Journey and at its completion the
members felt that they had been on a
real trip across the water. His open
ing suggestion was that of the con-
nection of the Rotary Club and his
trip and he accordingly told of his
two visits to the Rotary Club in
Paris and of visit also to the Rotary
Club in Amsterdam. He reviewed
his itinerary, telling of his having
landed at Liverpool, the 30th of April
and of his subsequent trip through
the Shakespeare country and his Wis
it to Oxford University where he had
the pleasure of meeting one of our
own towns boys, Alec Thomson, who
is a student there. He then told
of his visit to London, "where the
labor party has rather taken hold of
things; of Paris where he remained
ten days and then on to the south of
France Where he visited Nice and
Monte Carlo. Pausing for a time in
his description of his journey Mr..
Cummings talked most interestingly
on Genoa where he visited the old
home of Christopher Columbus. re-
fcrring to the city as being a busy,
industrial center. He said of Rome
that it seemed to be living in the
past and that he saw wonderful
sights of activities of 1000 years ago.
He illustrated the antiquity of the
customs there by saying that in road
building operations men were crush
ing rocks with hammers, rather than
with stone crushers. He told of the
restrictive movement in that country
and said that Italy was settling and
working. Other places which he
described briefly were Milan, the
great musical center, the Swiss Alps,
Lake Lucerne. quaint Amsterdam and
the battlefelds of France. which he
said were being rapidly reconstruct

town line. near the home of w. r.
Malbon Monday night. The driver,
Dan Cassidy and companion, Paul

badly shaken up. Quite cash was
cut in Legasse's leg. Cassidy had
been to Lakewood to deliver some
goods and was returning somewhat
hurridly as he had trip to Smithfield
to make after reaching Skowhe-
gan. Just how the accident happen
ed is hard to tell, but the rear of
the car probably jumped the highway.
The truck struck a big elm tree and
then landed some twenty feet away
where it cleared a stump, but in the
course of its route moved down a
telegraph pole six feet from the
ground The car was badly smashed
but was insured 1t just cleared the
stone post which marks the line be-

WITHOUT LAKEWOOD iKERW|0O00DD THERE iWi00tUjL WOULD Be NO
DRAMA IN THIS SECTION Of SOMERSET
Director Whitcomb and Manager SWEET Bring
Message to the People

The Lakewood Stock Company off
ers you this season its most talented
company. This is universally recog-
nized, our company has made good
as we were confident it would. A
most careful selection of plays and
players is responsible for this, and we
are starting our biggest season.
For twenty-four years we have pre-
sented stock companies at Lakewood
until our reputation has grown be-
yond the bounds of our local COM
munity. Lakewood is well known on
Broadway,-among the theatrical pro-
fession the engagement is desirable.
Some three hundred actors and act
resses have appeared on our stage
and returned to Broadway, they all
love Lakewood for its natural charm
and beauty, and for this reason we
are able to offer you annually the
services OF the most talented actors
and actresses in America.
During these years you have en-
joyed the best in the drama without
profit to ourselves, we have hoped to
build up the business by larger pa
tronage and to continue at popular
prices. This is still our ambition
we still think it is possible. for the
almost universal use of the automo-
bile has widened our circle of thea
tre-goers. Without Lakewood there
would be no drama here, the travel

Municipal Concert Next Tuesday Night

The first Municipal Concert by the
Citizens Band, given at Fairview
Park in connection with the evening
best ever given locally.
The program, composed mostly of
popular music, met with the approval
of the listeners and the pleasing COM
ments have prompted Arthur B. Plum
mer, director of the band, to arrange
a special program for the second con-
cert to be given Tuesday, July 18th,
at p. m. The present day fox trots
and waltz songs will be played and as
contrast the old time popular songs
will be included.
Most of the popular music of 25 to
30 years ago, consisting of waltz songs
have been revived over the radio this
last winter and those who remember
Sunshine Of Paradise Alley" Sweet
Adeline," Down on the Farm" MY
Pearl is Bowery Girl" Molly o."
when You Were Sweet Sixteen" 4"
"My Sweethearts the Man in the
Moon" 1.-THE Bowery," Sidewalks of
New York" Sweet Rosie OGrady,"
"Daisy Bell" Comrades Little
Annie Rooney" "She May Have Seen
Better Days" "The Band Played On"
and After the Ball" will not only
have the opportunity to hear them
played in the same repertoire with
popular waltz music such as Nelly
Kelly l Love YOU" THE Voice in My
Heart" Thru the Night" but Fox
Trots as Barney Google" Eyes, We
Have No Bananas you Tell Her l
Stutter," "You Remind Me of My
Mother" and "Mr, Gallagher and Mr..
Shean."
Really a comparison of the popular
music of 80 years ago and today. Vo-
cal solos and chorus singing by the
members of the band and others will
add to the entertainment and good
stirring marches of the two periods
will be played at intervals TO vary the
program. Special parking and traf-
fic regulations will be planned on
Russell Street during the concert and
owners and drivers of autos are par
ticularly requested to arrive as early
as possible and stay until the end so
that the starting of motors that has
proved so disagrecably noisy during
the program will be eliminated, Dr.
Il. A. Derbyshire will be among the
soloists.
The Citizens Band not only goes to
a great deal of trouble to give our
citizens and the citizens of surround
ing towns the best possible but do not
spare any expense in augumenting
their organization with the best of
musicians. The director and mem
bers of the band not only want all to
hear this and every concert but are
anxious that it be heard under best
conditions.
Remember the date, Tuesday, July
18th, at s p. m. If weather is un-
favorable concert will be given Friday
night.

There were more than forty subscrib-
ers connected with her switchboard,
to say nothing o fthe fifty-four other
exchanges with which she was en-
gagged in nearby towns.

ling companies no longer come to US.
Business at the theatre for the first
three weeks exceeds all previous
years. but it is not yet sufficient. We
sometimes wonder If our public full
ly realizes the opportunity that is
offered at Lakewood during the
Dramatic Season. Too often it is the
summer visitor who most appreciates
the charm of Lakewood and the ex-
cellency of our stock company and
tells US about it. We believe that
no other community in our wide coun-
try can offer equal summer park en-
tertainment Lakewood is unique in
this respect.
We still have ambitious plans for
better Lakewood. We need the
support which you can give by at
tendance at each play and by telling
your friends about US. We wish to
thank you for your patronage and in
vite your hearty cooperation for the
remainder of the season. We believe
we should double our theatre attend
ance if We have this support Help
us to do this and an even better Lake
wood will be yours.
Cordially yours,

Where is SkOwhegani

Just at present, owing to the fact
that the -Norridgewock
road on the south side of the river is
arily going by that route, is diverted
across the island and either up Madi-
son avenue or up Norridgewoek ave-
nue. to up river points. Tourists for
the most part seem TO have been ad-
vised that a detour Cat Skowhegan) is
required. This leads them in consid-
cradle numbers to stop around the
junction of Front and Main streets to
inquire where Skowhegan is.
Some years ago. perhaps before the
days of automobiles, a man set out to
go to Cornyille Going along near
Palmers Corner he stopped and in
quired of someone he met there:
will you tell me where Cornville
is?"
The man questioned regarded him
solemnly for a minute and then re-
piled:
stranger. you're right in the heart
of the city"
There is an analogy between the
two situations above referred to. II
seems odd to us that tourist should
call into Tash &, Groder's Grocery TO
ask where is Skowhegan' or How
far is it to SkowheEan?' Tash &
Groder report, however. that as many
as half a dozen people in one day have
called in to ask questions of this char
acter.
There is a lesson in the above
which We should heed. 1t is perfect
ly ridiculous that we should permit
day after day and week after week to
go BY with that corner unmarked.
There should be a sign there with
