posed of members of the Farm Bu-
reau, held it's regular monthly meet
ing at Lamoine grange hall, Feb. 26,
the session lasting throughout the
day. Prof. o. w. Wilbur from the
University of Maine conducted the
instruction. The morning meeting
was devoted to the subject of feed
ing" and the afternoon session took
up incubation" At noon the ladies
in attendance served an exceedingly
bountiful dinner. This club is the
first one organized in the State, there
being at present only one other, stu
ated in the town of Winthrop. The
extension service of the University of
Maine is watching these clubs very
carefully to see if they are an i'm
provement over the regular poultry
school held annually in the several
towns. The members of this club
feel that they are getting great deal
of good from this work, and if the
intense interest continues in the
future meetings. the result will be
favorable to the clubs.

entire household of Charles Frost,

Frost was considered by his friends
and neighbors as a man of sterling
character retiring in nature, and will
he greatly missed, especially by the
school children, whom he transported
from home to school. Charles Frost,
although i'll, had to expose himself
during his brothers illness and
death, and it was thought at one
time serious complications would re-
suit. However, Mr. Frost is now
convalescing.

AS town meeting approaches, it is
apparent that the most important
matter to the residents of this sec

widened this year This turn is
