ested in saving the lives of our fu-
ture citizens"
At the present time there is a crew
of eight men and pair of horses at
work making the different play
grounds of the city ready for use
this summer.
Community Park, on Drummond
avenue is receiving the most atten-
ton and besides getting it ready for
this summer work is being done
which will mean delight to the win
ter sport fans next year. A new
building Is feet wide and 70 feet
long has been constructed to take
the place of that which was burned
last winter. 1t is situated on the
west side of the rink and is equip
ped with chimneys, sinks, running
water, complete toilet facilities and
heated rest room. There will also
be a store where the skaters may
get refreshments and large space
will be used for storage purposes.
Early in the week L. w. Craw-
ford, the city engineer, E. c. Glover,
superintendent of the Waterville
schools, Norman Mathews, principal
of the senior high school and George
+. Hendricks, physical director of
the schools, put in an afternoon at
the park and laid out a regulation
baseball field which will be kept in
the best of condition for the use of
any teams in the city, but especially
those of high school age. Bleachers
are being put up for the benefit of
spectators. Here also will be a play
ground for the younger children
with an the paraphanalia conceiv-
able.
1t was recently announced that the
! use of 10 acres of land occupied by
Community park had been given to
| the service for another three years
! by the owner, Louis Rosenthal.
The Colby Fairgrounds will be fit
! ted out this year as in the past only
! the swimming pool will be somewhat
improved and there will be bath
houses provided for both boys and
| girls. Another swimming pool will
| be at the Lockwood Mills play
| grounds and at both of these last
| named places there will be a chance
for the younger children to play ball.
Need is felt for another play
! ground, to be situated in the vici-
| nifty of Western avenue, so that all
! the children of the city will be af-
| forded at play near their homes.
/ The director of the Fairgrounds
| for this summer has not as yet been
| decided upon but will be at a meet
| ing of the directors to be held in
| the near future.

ton:
Resolved, that we citizens of Maine
who have passed one or more seasons

the efforts of the citizens of Maine,
the State of Maine and various COM
munities of Maine to advertise to the
world the attractions of Maine recrea-
tionally, agriculturally and Industrial
| ly.
Resolved, that we believe that it is
wise and judicious to make the tour
list business the leading attraction in
advertising, feeling certain that this
will lead to results and benefits to in
dustry and agriculture.
I Resolved, that having observed the
marvellous results in Florida through
alert, courageous and persistent effort
to call to the attention of other states
in the Union the various unique attrac-
lions of Florida, we hereby register
our belief that Maine has as much and
more to offer to the world than any
other state in the Union, and for these
reasons We pledge ourselves to CO.
operate in every way with the Devel-
opment Maine Movement and to give
our best effort and active work to this
most worthy object and in every way
to bear testimony to this throughout
the State of Maine, and we promise to
| broadcast Names attractions through
out Florida or elsewhere for the time
or wherever we may be-"

Senator c.. B. Carter of Auburn, who
asserted that Florida's increase in
population was partly due to that
states plan of relieving residents of
paying income or inheritance taxes.
He declared that nowhere in the
country is there a state that COM
pares with Maine for scenic attrac-
tions, and he spoke of Names
beautiful lakes, rivers and ocean
shores.
He said that in Florida where a
northerner does not want to remain
over three months in a year. sand
lots are being sold at prices which i'll
Maine would buy a 300-acre farm.
This should be reversed, he asserted.
Select Name for Organization
Upon motion of J. Putnam Stevens
of Portland, it was voted to organize
a club composed of Maine folks who
pass their winters or who have re-
sided in Florida during the winter
months, and that the name of the Or
ganiZation be the Maine Florida
Club.
Hon. Guy p. Gannett of Augusta
moved that Chairman Scates appoint
nominating committee of five to
bring in list of nominations for off
GERS of the club, and the following
were appointed: j. Putnam Stevens
of Portland, Ii. N. Whitman of Au-
gusta, r. G. Dunning of Bangor, Guy
Torrey of Bar Harbor, and E. S.
Crosby of Bath.
The election resulted in the choice
or the officers mentioned previously.
Objects to Name of Club
Edwin Riley of Livermore Falls
objected to the name of the organiza :
ha 10
that he did not see the relation Of
Maine is a place to work and reside
in, while Florida is a place to play
in, and he said that in Florida they
create 50-lots in two or three days.
We are not the same people as the
people of Florida.
j. Putnam Stevens of Portland
said he believed cooperation" is the
biggest word in the English Ian
guage and ne could not see no rea-
son why Maine and Florida should
not cooperate.
Some objection was raised to the
plan for organizing a Maine club
with special reference to Florida in
stead of making it an organization
that would sell Maine to all of the
other states, but Senator Carter
pointed out that this meeting was
called especially to enlist the SER
vices of Maine people who go to
Florida and that the Maine Florida
Club would be only part of the
Boost Maine proposition.
Entertained by Gov. and Mrs.
Brewster
Following the adjournment of the
Maine-Florida meeting all in at
tendance went over to the Blaine
Mansion where they were the
guests at a very enjoyable reception
rendered by Governor and Mrs.
Brewster. They were received by
the Governor and Mrs. Brewster, be-
ing ushered to the reception room
by Hon. Charles S. Hichborn and
Hon. Guy Z. Gannett of Augusta,
John c. Scates of Westbrook, and
Charles r. Kidder of Bridgton. Mrs.
Guy 2. Gannett of Augusta was a
hostess.
Tea was poured by Mrs. George
f. Macomber and Mrs. Charles S.
Hichborn of Augusta, while punch
was served by Mrs. Charles B. Carter
of Auburn.
The following ladies assisted at
the reception: Mrs. Richardson and

Camping Safeguards.

An increasing number of people
make a camping trip their vacation.
And those who do not go camping
frequently take part in picnic par
ties that lead them to the country
for meals
a word Of caution about the dan
gers that are to be avoided by
those unaccustomed to "roughing
it, may be the means OF saving
lives.
There is plenty Of advice to be
found on this subject, the most i'm
poltsnt OF which is making certain
that the drinking water is pure. If
there is any reason TO believe
that water used for drinking pur-
poses is contaminated, it should be
boiled 50 as to eliminate all dangers
Of taking into the body germs that
may bring on fatal disease.
It is well TO remember that rio-
ping streams ard bubbling springs,
although beautiful to the eye. are

Fabrics Suitable
for Little Girls
Wool, Silk, Cotton, Linen,
Are Favored Materials
for Dresses.

All over the land some ten million
mothers are seriously considering the
problem of what material is the most
desirable, the most healthful and the
best looking to buy for their little
daughters school clothes
Wool is, of course, the warmest ma
terial there is. 1t also wears well,
keeps its shape, and if reasonably
good quality is purchased, and good
dyes have been used, it will be fast to
fading from the sunlight at least, and
ordinarily one does not wash a wooden
dress. Neither does a wooden frock
have to be cleaned very frequently,
and so economical from that stand
point. The disadvantage in this con-
nection is that such a frock may not
get cleaned as often as is desirable.
When wooden garment does be-
come soiled it holds the dirt tenacious
~ in its pile surface. When it begins
to get shabby, the nap of wool fabric
wears off very quickly; or if it is one
of the hard-surfaced fabrics, like serge,
1t wears shiny" instead. 1t is not
practical to select wool for frock
which must be washed frequently, for
in laundering wool shrinks badly and
becomes matted and hard.
Brass buttons and a brave looking
belt of leather trim an attractive
brown flannel dress, of which the cuffs
and collar are lighter shade of brown
Silk is too expensive for little-girl
everyday wear, Tut it is particularly
adapted for party frocks and dress-up
