SUCCESSFUL COUNTY
CONVENTION

For the first slime the Knights of
Pythias Lodges of Somerset County
got together last Thursday for gem
eral good time in Skowhegan. The
X. of P. rooms were open to the Wis
iting lodge members and the greater
part of Thursday afternoon was spent
at Fairview Park. The Citizens Band
furnished music during the afternoon
and a ball game was played between
the Madison and Wateryille teams. At
the end of the eighth inning when the
game was called, owing to darkness,
according to the official announcer,
the score stood 1919 in favor of Wat
erville. An apple race followed in
which "Cavey," the noted baseball
player of the Madison team won the
honors. In some of the other sports
high school boys who were out for
practice at the park participated and
these features proved to be jolly ones.
After leaving Fairview Park lines
were formed and parade of some
of the streets was participated in by
the knights with the Uniform Ranks
of Madison and Waterville as escorts.
about 116 people were served to a
very delicious chicken supper in
Grange Hall by members of the Ella
F. Mitchell Philathea class of the
Bethany Baptist church. This sup
per was served under the direction of
Mrs. Bessie Thompson, Mrs. w. F.
Turner, Mrs. c. A. Burnor, Mrs. W. w.
Creation and Mrs. Edward Clough with
a number of the younger members
acting as Mattresses. Autumn leaves
and cut flowers were used in the table
decorations. After the banquet the
Rank of Page was conferred on
class of candidates by Keystone
Lodge of Madison. After the work
there were remarks by Fred L. Syl-
vester of Auburn, Imperial Represen-
tatiye to the Supreme Lodge and Ed
gar j. Brown of Waterville, Grand
keeper of Records and Seals. A
lunch was served following the work
in the lodge room.

victor in this event. Much interest
centers about Licone, owned by Hugh
Hight, since this is the only local
horse to start. Saturday. Without a
doubt he will go to the post as a
fayorite and the owner who will drive
is predicting a winning score. Charles

and W. d. Snow. J. B. Nutting and
Byron B. Perkins as timers
After the splendid concerts given
by the Citizens Band during the rae
ing events thus far this season, of
course Saturdays event wouldn't be
complete without this aggregation of
melody makers. They will be there
and directed by Arthur Plummer will
offer most attractive program.
Although q large number of tickets
have been sold there are still good
seats to be had on the new grand
stand and bleachers. Among the
tickets sold on an average to l have
been sold to people outside of this
town. Calls for these tickets have
come from Portland, Lewiston, Au-
gusta and many other down river
towns. From Rangeley and places
to the north of us and in spite of the
fact that these same races were held
in Bangor last week. there have been
a great many orders for tickets from
that section, over $50 being sold in
Bangor alone Tickets ordered by
mail or telephone not accompanied by
cash will not be held later than Sat
urday morning. Grand Stand tickets
are on sale daily from 80 TO p. m.
at the Buick Sales Room, y. f.
Phone 1913.
The admission will be s100 with
S1.00 to the grand stand, bleachers
soc and autos soc.
And the fun doesn't stop with the
windup of these famous races for in
the evening at the big exhibition
building there will be a ball with
music by the Citizens Band These
players have already established
themselves as prime favorites with
the dancing people of Skowhegan and
the fact that they arc to play will be
an additional induCement 10 the peo-
pie to attend this part of the program.
incidentally this will be the last band
dance OF the 1928 season.

dress the Members Mt Regular
Meeting

vest dinner Tuesday noon in Grand

of Mrs. Kate s. Simpson In addition

nish the program for the first month.
Names of the members were drawn
for a presiding officer for the day and
this honor fell to Attorney George w.
Cover. D. A. Porter read a paper
upon, "What is Rotary?', which he
defined as a solid and substantial
bridge from the old order of the bust
ness world to the new, performing
social and economic functions which
renders it Indispensable to business
and to society. He spoke particular
ly on the value of the club through
its association of business men togeth-
er and the opening that it gave each
member to look beyond their own
little sphere. He spoke particularly
upon the motto OF Service Before
Self" and the aspirations of Rotary,
70 put the Golden Rule into the daily
life of business. The ideal and prac-
tical have joined hands in Rotary, and
the new demands of moral principles
and social service are practically solv-
ed in this new and aggressive organiz-
alton.
Mr. Porter was followed by Pres.
C. p. Merrill who gave an exceeding
ly interesting report Of the Rotary
Conclave at Poland Springs amusing
his listeners with many witty thoughts
