Lewiston ROtarian
Speaker Before Elm
City Rotary Club

Rev. Father Poirier, a member of
the Lewiston Rotary Club, was the
speaker at the meeting of the Water
vile Rotary Club at the Elmwood
hotel yesterday noon. He said that
Rotary had opened to him several
new fields of service but he chose to
deal with but one service, that of
Catholic Priest.
For a number of years the speak
err worked among the lumber camps
in the vicinity of Moosehead Lake
and his experiences wer greately va
ried. Father Poirier paid special tri-
butte to the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney Paper Co., which controlled the
many camps it was his duty to Wis
it. The, camps. he said. were large
and clean and the food which was
served could not have been bettered.
The population of the camps equals
that of Waterville and, although some
of the men have gone into the
woods to cover crimes of the past,
for the most part the speaker found
them of a superior sort. The nature
of the work that Father Poirier was
doing brought him into contact with
no little hardship and suffering and
Of this he spoke feelingly.
DR.. T. B. Ashcraft, professor OF
mathematics at Colby college, said
a few words concerning the extern
sion course of business administra-
ton which is to be given ut the col

John F. Choate said that all the

nity Service concert which Is to be
given at the City Opera House this
evening and he spoke Of the service
to the life of the city.

Macmillan to Speak at
Opera House Dec. 20

The regular meeting of the XII
wants club was held at the ElmWood
hotel last evening. At this meeting
it was announced that Donald b.
Macmillan, who lectured here last
year under the auspices of the club
had been engaged again for this year
and would be at the City Opera
House on Tuesday evening, Dec. ~.
The speaker of the evening was Jo-
seph A. Marquis, who has recently
returned from eight years in the
consular service of the United States
government. Mr.. Marquis explained
the two forms of service. saying that
the diplomatic was for the transact
ton of government business be-
tween this country and foreign ma
lions and the consular service is Tor
the business men and the people who
travel in foreign lands. He explained
how it was used for the legalizing OF
deeds, the handling of invoices. the
vising of passports, and the reports
of the commercial possibilities In
other lands. He told how the ser
vice kept in touch with costs and
how it was possible for the business
men of this country to save large
sums of money by using the informa-
ton which could be gained by these
men. He stated that the west and
south was taking advantage of this
but that New England was not. He
planned that the service had compiled
a world trade directory in which
practically every business man in the
world had been listed with his fin
ancial standing and that the infor-
nation was available to all business
men who wished to do business out
of this country. He told of some OF
the work in the care OF stranded sea-
