Great Increase In Butter
The greatest increase has come in
the production of creamery butter,
which has doubled in value in the
last 10 years. The gain in the total
value Of all dairy products was in
the face Of a nearly $2,000,000 de-
cline in the production OF cheese,
caused by the attractiveness to the
farmer Of the price for butterfat.
By including in the valuation, the
items Of fertilizer and calves, the
dairy industry is credited by the de-

Der, however, gave his attention pri-
marily to the difficult speaking parts
and the business Of the pageant in
general and it was surprising how a
man Of his age could give himself to
so strenuous a task. In just six days
he had made one of the most fin

terial. which it has ever been my
pleasure to witness.
Miss Dorothy E. Gray, accom-
panied by Mrs. Ernest A. Gray, her
mother, came from Augusta espec-
tally to repeat the dance of immortal
ity which was Miss Gray's own con-
ception and beautifully done both in
Augusta last season and in Paw
tucket at both performances. Miss
Gray has improved wonderfully and
received highest praise on all sides.
In the afternoon. we found it neces-
sary, in response to popular demand,
to break our ironclad rule Of mo en-
cores" and Miss Gray repeated her
dance for the benefit Of the audience.
She also performed beautiful dance
for the benefit of the audience. She
also performed a beautiful Hungar-
ian dance in the evening at the Mar
H Gras in Wilkinson park.
Mr.. Weber made many new
friends for himself by relating his
interesting experiences and by tell
ing fairy tales to the children and
grown-ups. at the Mardi Gras. He
was better informed than the aver
age Pawtucket citizen about the city
itself. for it was his privilege to open

Arthur S. Littlefield Of Rockland

Attorney Littlefeld asked that

Attorney Wheeler said that the

that their recommendation as to a

his hat during the luncheon, the hat
brought to him as his own was a
nice broad Panama, and Tom had
some difficulty keeping 1t up of his

It was a brilliant little talk on
Civic Courtesy that Rotarian Elmer
Newbert delivered at this meeting.
and as usual was sparkling with hu-
morous illusions and pointed refer
ences. Mr.. Newbert said that cour-
tesy by city officials. merchants.
business and professional men. and
citizens was the finest kind of pub
licity for a town, and was the selling
point that would put Augusta over"
and bring visitors back again. He
illustrated by recalling his personal
experiences in cities throughout the
country, the favorable impression
that unfailing courtesy in small as
well as large things gave to him of
those places.
Mr.. Newbert showed that It was
courtesy on the part of a street car
conductor and a policeman, that de-
cided the great publisher Cyrus. H.
X. Curtis, to locate in Philadelphia,
when he was on a visit there as a
mere lad. Mr.. Newbert's interpre-
tation of courtesy was kindness,
and that 1t was not something to be
assumed and thrown off like a mask
or cloak at will, but must be lived
daily in all our relations with our
fellow men. He showed that the man
exemplifying courtesy. was the man
who carried an oil can to take the
squeaks out of life and make things
run a little smoother for the other
fellow. and in closing read the words
of the song ending. "Be an oil can.
not file, and smile! smile! SMILE!
