him into the hotel and that about
five minutes later the man returned

night when Harry Sears stages his

will be some bout. Harris is work

see him in action. Headed as he is
for Jimmy DeF'orest's camp in New

". A. Hoxie Co. Of Bangor, was the
speaker at the regular meeting. of the
Waterville Rotary club at the Elm
wood hotel yesterday noon. He took
as his subject, Rotary as Seen by a
Non-Rotarian."
The strength of the United States
lies in the thought life Of it's citi-
zena. rather than in the huge re-
sources Of the country, the speaker
said, and he thought that this life
was typified by the spirit Of Rotary.
The spirit of service, thing
which Rotary stresses, was consid-
! cred by Mr.. Latte to be of para
mount Importance. 1t would be a
great thing, he said, if we are to
. make the present sure and the future
afe for everyone to adopt the Ro-
taly slogan.
MIR. Latte emphasized the boys
work phase Of Rotary, saying that a
wonderful work could be found in
/ saving a boy. He thought that this
sde Of Rotary's activities would have
large. effect in raising the moral
!. Ute Of the country.
Gilbert Latte, a son of the speaker,
entertained the members with a
number of vocal solos, accompanied
on the piano by Abbott Smith.
