Wednesday, April 8, the executive
committee of the Hancock County
Farm Bureau proved that the organ
ization was still having the loyal sup
port of it's people, when the members
of the committee attended the spring

travelling and long distances do not
daunt these county workers.
Following the opening remarks by
the president, Fred Sawyer OF Sails

the period ending March 81, was
given by H. F. Whitcomb of Ellis
worth, and the financial arrange

ment, by Mrs. John Ray of Bayside;
poultry, by Guy Billings of North
Bluehill; orchard, by Robert Haynes
of North Ellsworth; farm manage
ment, by Fred Cousins of East Blue
hill; and dairy, by Ray Gaspar Of
West Ellsworth.
Mrs. A. l. Foss and Chester STRAIT
on, the representatives sent to the
State Federation meeting at Orono
during farmers week, gave an
interesting report of the meeting.
The parts of the report in which we
are all most interested are that 500
was voted to be given in prizes to the
counties making the best showing in
the membership campaign this fall.
The first prize is to be in the form of
a cup, which becomes the property
of the county winning it three con-
secutive times The Federation also
voted to award a cup to the county
making the best showing in the
All club work for this year
Plans were started for a field
day to be held in cooperation with
the Pomona oranges of Hancock
county. Mrs. A. l. Foss, Lyle Brown
and Fred Cousins were appointed as
a committee from the Farm Bureau
to work with the committee from the
oranges.
The auto tour last year having
aroused so much interest Robert
Haynes, Mrs. Vernon Haslam and
Leo Staples were appointed to make
arrangements for one this year.
AS there is every indication that
the Farm Bureau exhibits at the
Hancock county fair held at ELS
worth will be greatly increased, Fred
Sawyer, Mrs. Herbert Lord and Lyle
Brown were appointed to draw up
rules to be used in Judging Farm
Bureau exhibits.

BrOOklin,


Friday evening witnessed one of
the most enjoyable events in the
history of Lookout chapter, O. E. S.,
the occasion being a poverty party.
The costumes were of curious and
wonderful design. The brothers
rather outdid the sisters in patches
and rips, but the ancient head dec
orations of the sisters were creations.
They varied in size from the smallest
hat set on the crown of the head,
worn by Mrs. r. A. F1ye, to the
enormous dress hat of Mrs. Frank
Cole, so large that it was with diff
Guilty she could get through the
door to the chapter room. Re-
freshments were served on bare
tables in the banquet hall, but when
it came to food the brothers did not
keep to the Idea of poverty. A de-
lightful entertainment was given
after refreshments were served. Mrs.
H. D. Powers received the lady's
prize and Joseph M. Tapley the
gentlemen's prize for costumes. The
hall rang with mirth and laughter
until late hour, and many went
home with fewer rags than they
fun they had enjoyed for years. The
next meeting will be an afternoon
social, beginning at O'Clock. Supper
will be served at g. There will be an
entertainment in the evening.
