tanned in a message received by Off

tional church, the evening union ser
vices will be held at o'clock instead

Mothers Day is
Observed Wednesday
At Fairgrounds

Mothers Day, which was observed
at the Waterville Fairgrounds yester-
day. was declared by the supervisors
of the grounds to have been in every
way a success. 1t was estimated at
the close of the day that fully 1900
mothers and children had visited the
three Fairgrounds of the city during
the day. number considerably larger
than had been expected.
During the afternoon souvenirs of
tooth paste and toilet powder were
given the youngsters in lavish guam
titles by Miss Gladys Cyr, who is the
daughter of A. +. Cyr president of the
Waterville Community Service. The
children were arranged in an orderly
line by Mr. Cyr and Lionel Saucier,
general supervisor of the grounds, but
their anxiety to get the souvenirs
made this no easy task. Mr.. Saucier
and his assistants at the various
grounds were also presented with
gifts in recognition of the good work
they have been doing so far this sum-
mer.
At the Lockwood Fairgrounds Miss
Bella Picher, the city nurse, gave the
mothers who were present a booklet
entitled Infant Care" The books
will be given out at the other two
grounds today. Miss Picher has been
helping the supervisors of the play
grounds in many ways since the OPEN
ing week ago. The supervisor of
each ground has been given a COM
pletely equipped emergency kit and at
regular intervals Miss Picher visits
the Fairgrounds to be of any help she
may.
Mr.. Saucier hopes to start regular
ball games at the Fairgrounds today
and he wished to meet all boys who
are interested in the national game.
If he finds that the interest warrants
it. a baseball league will be started
with an age limit of Is years.

ments for meetings. One will be held
al $50 +. M. at the Woman's Refor-
matory, and another at o'clock at
tne bandstand on Russell street. A
NUMBER OF business men in Skowhe-
gan are sponsoring this movement,
another party will spend the day,
Monday, in Dexter, where several
meetings will be held.
captain Mountford is a former
British artillery officer, and most of
tne crusaders are men who have had
nard service in the late war. He is
delighted with the manner in. which
the efforts of the Crusaders have been
received and states that it is yerv
probable that similar work will be
started in this state very soon. This
Will be through the medium of motor
bus parties that will reach into re-
mote parts of the country where 1t is
not possible to maintain reeuIa r
church services.
Captain Mountford was pleased
with the result of the work in Port
land last Sunday. Not only were the
pulpits of the Episcopal Churches In
Portland and vicinity filled by these
lay Evangelists, but every Methodist
and Presbyterian congregation lis
tened to a sermon from the lips of a
Church Army soldier.
These English visitors have found
the people of New England most hos
pitabel and sympathetic. They have
come across the water with a message
of Christian cheer and have found
7 ready listeners. Many of them are
veterans of from 20 to 36 years OF
work in the Church Army in England
and they speak from wide experience
in every walk of life.
Waterville will have opportunity
to meet them both in the churches
and in the out of doors on Saturday
and Sunday.
